Live Blog: Trump’s Second Impeachment Trial Begins | Talking Points Memo

My “rich neice” was already back with my mom in Seattle. That was 3-6-86. It was a shock but not a surprise. At least my sister had enough sense to get her daughter out of that situation.

Excellent! Now, Trump, insist that you be called as a witness. Demand it. Do it! Show those wimpy attorneys what to do!

McCormack is 1% right. Because while it’s true there’ll be violence if Trump runs in 2024 and loses, there’ll also be violence if another Republican runs in 2024 and loses. Or a Republican Senator loses. Or Representavie. Or Governor. Or any Republican with enough national attention.

At this point, the Republican Party is not interested in democracy or the smooth transfer of power if that transfer doesn’t go their way.

Very sorry to hear about what happened. Happens far too often, but that does not make it easier to live with, even after more than three decades.

Glad to hear the daughter escaped. Was it her father who … was the killer?

But would it have been any better if they’d argued that Trump won the election instead?

No her biological father showed up out of the blue a few years after. Quite serendipitous.

When I came back to Montana after her memorial service I had lunch with workmates at the only Chinese restaurant in Billings. My fortune cookie oddly said “your feet will touch the shores of many lands” . My mates laughed because I’m the quintessential “home boy”.
Within 3 years I had been around the world twice.
I guess that’s what sis wanted.

I’ve come to believe that we’ll get a majority of the Senate, a bipartisan majority, to vote for conviction. It takes 2/3rd of the Senate to formally convict him, but, as a practical matter, he’s already out of office, so… But the public is going to see a majority vote to convict. It will be damning, and humiliating. The more he lashes out at Republicans who vote to convict, the worse he’ll look, and the more criminal.

I like gravy.

This plus wall to wall ads with the same video presented by the house managers, should he be so foolish as to run in 2024.

Hey, I hear that it’s brutal. First, you have to tell the difference between the Pale Ale and the Guiness, then you have to tell the difference between the rum & coke and the martini, then you have to tell the difference between the red wine and the white wine. And you can’t leave a drop, or they dock points!

And give the guy credit, he clearly has been back refreshing his memory before getting up to speak, a couple of times… :cocktail::dizzy_face::+1:

Well, I wouldn’t convict either.

Penguins are naked, and dragons should definitely have top hats!

Sen Coons: “This was the Four Seasons Landscaping of the legal profession”

He also said one of his colleagues was reading a novel during the House presentation.

It was a “she” so I suspect Marsha Blackburn.

It is. That whole bit about passing it while you can hear all the cheering and rowdy singing through the door as you walk by…

Nah, you gotta lean into that shit or you’ll fuck up the ride. I convinced a buddy once that he was a glass of orange juice, and not to tip over or he’d spill. Now, when you’re sitting there watching demons dancing around a tree… you’ve gone a bit too far.
