SCALISE: "THIS IS A MISTRIAL"

[Marcuse]

Who will tell the gentleman from Louisiana, self described as David Duke without the baggage, that the trial has yet to begin?

“It's clear [Speaker] Pelosi needs to declare a mistrial.”

1. He's out of his gourd! It's not a criminal trial haha.

[Volaris]

9. Correct; THAT part will take place in the Senate...unless they think they

want Nancy to have control of that, too lol!

He's a dumbass, making noise to distract from the crickets were hearing as a legit defense of this worthless criminal pResident.

[malaise]

2. The ignorance on display byelected ReTHUGs on matters impeachment

is breath-taking.

[maxsolomon]

15. The bullshit they're gaslighting their ignorant supporters with

is breathtaking.

Scalise knows he's bullshitting.

[malaise]

18. Now we know why ReTHUGs son't want civics in school

Crazy shit

[NewJeffCT]

3. Stevie should leave those claims

to the members of Congress that know the law and the Constitution. Like Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, etc

[flibbitygiblets]

4. To summarize, he has no idea how government works, including the job he was elected to do.

Or is this just random red meat for the poorly educated "base"?

[zaj]

5. Why do we keep acting like Republicans "don't get it"?

This is propaganda not ignorance!

They know that this process is not the trial.

They know that in 1998 and 1973 the process involved private interviews (ie, Starr Report) before it came up for a vote.

They know Dems are following the same house rules the GOP adopted for bengazhi.

They know that this is even more fair than Clinton/Clinton.

They know all these things.

They are trying to wage a propaganda war on the GOP base voters because that's their power grab.

One set of rules for when the left has power, and no rules when the right is in power.

[maxsolomon]

16. Exactly. And they lie because they're insulated in safe districts.

Many of their voters KNOW they're lying and applaud them.

[mercuryblues]

17. Exactly

they are not stupid. They know what they are doing.

[Sanity Claws]

6. This is the discovery/investigation stage, not a trial

You can't have a mistrial if the trial hasn't even begun.

[Spider Jerusalem]

7. It's not a trial at all; the House is the equivalent of a grand jury, in impeachement proceedings

[Historic NY]

8. I didn't know he had a law degree............

[Skidmore]

11. He doesn't....

he majored in computer science and minored in political science. Prerequisites for hacking voting machines.

[kentuck]

10. He's about as dim as a refrigerator bulb.

Doesn't he know that the trial hasn't started yet?

[lagomorph777]

12. Hey Scaly Steve: The trial hasn't started yet. Go back to sleep.

[Moral Compass]

13. Remind me...

When Scalise got shot—was it a head injury?

Someone that doesn’t understand the first thing about our constitutional form of government shouldn’t be allowed to be either a representative or a senator.

[Tiggeroshii]

14. That's just not how this works.

That's not how any of this works!

[OnDoutside]

19. Like the shooter in the ballpark mishit ?
