calguy
(5,326 posts)but I'd love to be wrong on this.
lunatica
(53,410 posts)Hes never done that before. In actuality hes an aggressive and belligerent person who is always ready for a fight. He actually lives for conflict. Even if hes silence it will only be temporary.

(19,568 posts)Even if we had witnesses, he wasn't going to be removed. That was just a wild fantasy by a few fringe, fed by a media looking for viewership.
If we can turn this into senate seat wins, that's the best we can hop for here.

(20,630 posts)acquittal vote at 2:00 AM on Saturday morning, just in time for the morning Tweet-storm, the Super Bowl Sunday interview, and the SOTU.
herding cats
(19,568 posts)They want to give him his platform to brag which he's demanded.

(20,630 posts)narrative from the highest rooftops, truth be damned, and be secure in the knowledge that any efforts at rebutting will be met with apathy and indifference.
It perfectly reflects the old expression, "a lie makes it halfway around the world before the truth has the chance to put its pants on".

that McConnell was not going to be impartial juror. I don't think this is over, there must be a Plan B.
Americans NOT are going to take this crap. I'm not.
Sorry typo mistake or word omitted.
bearsfootball516
(6,377 posts)Sure, we would have loved to have witnesses, but even if we did, it wasnt going to change the vote of any senator. November is the only option.
bdamomma
(63,922 posts)I forgot the word "not" the American people are not going to take this crap.

This asshole is trying his hardest to be the most hated man in Ameeican History.

safeinOhio
(32,721 posts)he'll have another big screw up and Monday the House will start Impeachment 2.0. Or something like that.
duforsure
(11,885 posts)And trump will go on full attack mode using barr to try to criminalize all those involved in doing this to him. He'll escalate and it'll only get a lot worse , and next time he will openly abuse all his powers against others , they are corrupt , but he isn't by fabricating evidence on others like he's done many times before.

OliverQ
(3,363 posts)There is no way to count on the 2020 election to fix this. It will be rigged in Trump's favor. We're heading towards a Revolution or Civil War.

librechik
(30,676 posts)take away our sweet troublesome democracy of checks and balances and replace it with a corrupt gang that demands to be treated as royalty. And they didn't even have a case. Just the lawless gang.
November 2020: experts say that due to gerrymandering, Dems need to win by 5M plus to break the electoral college open to the majority. Not counting on that Russia-hacked relic to save the US. And the GOP act like they have it rigged. So smirky and patronizing and entitled.
Clearly "The Family" (google this evil entity) is working behind the scenes here. These fuckhead Xtian senators seem like their eternal lives are dependent on the GOP committing this crime.They are about to receive their crowns from the Lord himself. Trump, I mean. Terrifying!
See you in the gulag!

DarthDem
(5,256 posts)Just as you said, Randy, in terms of making them pay. The Democrats need to hammer the fact that the Senate held a sham trial and wouldn't even consider evidence.

They've bullied, bribed, and threatened their senators. And those senators don't have enough backbone to stand up to the bullies.

(8,704 posts)Americans will make them pay for the GOP Senators corruption in November. Vote them out!!
bdamomma
(63,922 posts)the smirk on McConnell's face, or for him to say something we have to get back to the people's work. Yeah right, screwing us all with another tax hike for the rich.
This is not over.
helpisontheway
(5,008 posts)Witness or no witness they were never going to remove him anyway. And the nuts dont care what the witnesses have to say anyway. They are brainwashed and will never believe anything other than Fox News. And if the independents cant see through these games then they were lost anyway. Probably Republicans pretending to be independent.
