1. If the truth hurts..,

Then by all means, avoid it.

2. Plausible deniability - if you don't hear it you

can tell your Deplorable constituents you weren’t aware of this or that - so it must be “fake.”

3. Breaking their own rules and oaths....

Get names of Senators who are walking out, make them visible in ads so that the American people can see that they do not care for the Constitution nor the rule of law.

5. If they don't had the whole case,

They shouldn't be allowed to vote at the end.

4. Handy that the restrictions on cameras prevent that from being shown.

6. Chief Justice Roberts should make a general announcement/reprimand

disallowing prolonged absences. Not holding my breath. Nor expecting Republicans to listen even if the Chief Justice spoke out.

7. This is why there is only ONE CAMERA allowed in the Senate chambers...

...and it is controlled by the Senate (MoscowMitch).

8. If I stopped performing my job duties and and then just left, I'd get fired.

It is their sworn constitutional duty to perform their job.

I hate every single goddamn one of those traitors.

9. Senator Feinstein left early also

She said she wasn't feeling well (Hopefully nothing serious), but the story is out there.
