Hawaii’s two members of the U.S. House of Representatives diverged in Wednesday’s historic vote to impeach President Donald Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

U.S. Rep. Ed Case joined his Democratic colleagues who overwhelmingly voted in favor of the two articles of impeachment, while U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard abstained from voting. She registered instead as being “present.”

"Case said he heard from thousands of Hawaii constituents as he weighed his decision." Did dumb-ass Ed listen to those constituents that pled with him not to vote for Impeachment? Of course not. Pusillanimous little puppet puke

At least Case chose a side, as opposed to Brave Sir Tulsi, who ran away.

Case is a chameleon douchbag , a shameless wimp.
Willing to do Pelosi’s laundry. A genuinely pathetic man.

Yep. A “Present” vote only proves you are spineless and useless.

“Present”, should be disallowed.

Tulsi could have emulated JFK when the Senate voted to censure Joseph McCarthy. Did JFK vote "present"? Noooooo!

JFK called in sick that day. Tulsi and JFK - Profiles in Courage.

Brave Sir Tulsi ran away.
(”No!”)
Bravely ran away away.
(”I didn’t!”)
When danger reared it’s ugly head,
She bravely turned her tail and fled.
(”I never!”)
Yes, brave Sir Tulsi turned about
And gallantly she chickened out.
(”You’re lying!”)
Swiftly taking to her feet,
She beat a very brave retreat.
Bravest of the brave, Sir Tulsi!

Tulsi:

“Profiles In Courage: I voted “Hey, At Least I Showed Up!”

Real Presidential material there, that one... yup... /s

When history called on Tulsi Gabbard to lead, Tulsi Gabbard was present.

Not a leader.

She’s done.

Yep. Because the democrat base has a short memory and no individual votes can be used against him in the future.

Meanwhile, conservatives have a long memory. I still remember that King county built the Kingdome just south of the city center even though the voters chose for it to be put next to southcenter. and yet it was torn down 20 years ago.

That’s why the Republican symbol is an elephant - and the democrats is a jackass.
