McConnell Has Votes To Approve Starting Trial Without Witnesses

There really is no fucking point to the Senate is there? It really makes no sense. It is an anachronistic atavism.

The fix is in. Pelosi has to decide whether or not she will send over the articles for their expected wake and burial. She canā€™t allow that to happen. It would be a violation of the oath of office she took to protect the country from all enemies both foreign and domestic. As Pelosi pointed out at a press conference a while back, the framers imagined a scenario where the nation would be faced with a rogue president, but they did not anticipate a scenario where the nation would be faced with a rogue president and a rogue senate leader and a rogue senate majority. This is unprecedented.

Isnā€™t the next Womenā€™s March scheduled for January 18, 2020? What say we (the majority of Americans) come out in full force and in support of a bona fide trial?

Call me cynical but I think Mitch would do anything to get Nancy to send the articles of impeachment over to the senate. Once she does this, she passes control of the issue over to Mitch.

I wouldnā€™t put it past him to be lying about this just so he can get control and do whatever he wants to do, rules be damned.

Weā€™re doing our part in Colorado. We elected a Democratic Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, State House and State Senate in 2018. Gardner is next.

The Senate has rapidly become the place where all good ideas go to die.

She will not let him claim exoneration before the State of the Union!

Betting that theyā€™ll block any dem witnesses unless Joe and Hunter Biden are forced to testify and that theyā€™ll also overrule any ruling Roberts makes thatā€™s not in their favor. Sadly, Iā€™d also bet that the Dems donā€™t roast the 4 ā€œmoderateā€ GOP senators that are up for re-election.

Trump has the Greek-American bloc solidly behind him, given that he knows all of them personally.

He must be made to stand before the American people as an impeached president. My guess, is he wonā€™t show up for the SOTU without an exoneration he can preen over. Heā€™ll send it over in writing.

All heā€™s really trying to do is bum-rush Speaker Pelosi into releasing the impeachment inquiry to the Senate still ahead of any real plan with witnesses and a framework to actually carry out a real trial. Wonā€™t work you tin eared toad. No one is listening to your bullshit except tRump.

tRump must be quietly seething or having conniptions behind closed door and barking at the moon today. Hasnā€™t gotten one good day of press over his debacle in Iraq and this impeachment stuff is driving him even nuttier, no doubt. We havenā€™t heard much out ole crazypants today, so you know heā€™s just raging and throwing things at his lackeys in the Oval. Watch out for the Remington. I hear it weighs a lot.

Who needs a trial when ya can have a trumptrialā„¢ under rules de McConnell (meaning foregone conclusion we all knew already). Witnesses? we donā€™ need no stinkinā€™ witnesses.

It is still amazing to me that the GOP would tolerate a madman who clearly is only barely held back from nuking us all.

I wouldnā€™t mind seeing some witnesses show up at the senate trial. Just have them sit in the senate gallery glaring at McConnell and Graham.
