Examples of hopelessly in a Sentence

  1. Hellen Titus:

    Anyone who is breathing, shoot them, we just lay there hopelessly, because we know automatically we're going to be killed.

  2. Ben Sasse:

    Every public official has a responsibility to tell the truth, all the clever arguments and rhetorical gymnastics in the world won't change the fact that this January 6th effort is designed to disenfranchise millions of Americans simply because they voted for someone in a different party. We ought to be better than that. If we normalize this, we're going to turn American politics into a Hatfields and McCoys endless blood feud -- a house hopelessly divided.

  3. George Santayana:

    To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring.

  4. Collin Peterson:

    This impeachment process continues to be hopelessly partisan. I have been hearing from my constituents on both sides of this matter for months, and the escalation of calls this past week just shows me how divided our country really is right now, i have some serious concerns with the way the closed-door depositions were run, and am skeptical that we will have a process that is open, transparent and fair. Without support from Senate Republicans, going down this path is a mistake. Today's vote is both unnecessary, and widely misrepresented in the media and by Republicans as a vote on impeachment.

  5. Hellen Titus:

    We just lay there hopelessly, because we know automatically we're going to be killed.
