Senate Impeachment Trial Thread.

[Nostra]

Why are we listening to the same bullshit again? Just exonerate Trump and get back to work.

She actually had to look down at her notes while saying "2 + 2 = 4"

Congresswoman Val Demings is speaking again right now. This woman has to be the worst reader in the House. How did she get to be one of the managers? She stumbles from word to word, trying to get through a sentence. Who taught this woman how to read? She sure isn't making the Dems look good. I've heard 3rd graders read better than her. She sounds like a 12 year old trying to make a case for impeachment. I almost feel embarrassed for her.

I gotta tell you the democrats staffers that write pages and pages of bull shit deserve our respect lol

that’s a lot of bull shit they shoveling

 

[S.J.]

Dems are making a big mistake when they get up in front of the Senate and talk as though Trumps guilt has been established. They keep saying he'll cheat on the next election "too", as if the Mueller report didn't say there was no collusion the last time. I like how they keep referring to "the children", like they give a shit about children. Or "The Constitution", like they give a shit about that (except when it works in their favor). I guess since they know they've lost this fight, the only thing they can do now is try to salvage the remainder of their time and make a series of very boring campaign speeches. Hakeem Jeffries is speaking now (if you can call it 'speaking'). He's almost as bad as Demings. They sound like illiterates.

Congressional Republicans are sheep, they will do what ever the wolf in the White House or on the Golf Course tells them what to do. Otherwise they will be eaten alive.

If that were all there is, you'd be lucky.

What you see is Senate Republicans, in near-perfect unanimity, giving everyone a good dose of what mob rule looks like - trampling all over the rule of law and the Constitution in their cynical quest for power. They are not "sheep", they are complicit, hench(wo)men, having indicated previously that whatever Mueller unearthed is nothing, thereby reassuring Trump that whatever he does to keep them in power is okay with them, and encouraging more of same.

What you see is Senate Republicans, in near-perfect unanimity, giving everyone a good dose of what mob rule looks like - trampling all over the rule of law and the Constitution in their cynical quest for power.

How are they any different than House Democrats, or, for that matter, Senate Democrats?

They pretty much marched in lockstep on halfbaked information.

That was instructive, as it details how the self-selection into the intellectually infertile, destitute plains of Rightardia actually works. There's the consistent hogging of rightarded clickbait resulting in fact-free judgment ("halfbaked information"). Once that judgment is locked in, any further reading will be sufficiently selective so as to reinforce the judgment, as well as the self-selection. In this case we see the jumping up and down in "both-sides" euphoria (as most prominently promulgated by our most sincere Mac), relying on the unanimity side-show, while also completely ignoring the salient point, namely, the GOP's "trampling all over the rule of law and the Constitution in their cynical quest for power."

And, let's not kid ourselves: Rightardia will erupt in self-righteous indignation, and they'd demand any future Democratic President, caught in so much as placing a phone call to a potential donor on a government phone, be impeached and removed. Without double standards, Rightardia would have no standards at all.

As we enter into the final throes of this sham "trial", we should remember we've been there before:

When Barr began his career in government, the idea that the Presidency was too weak [as maintained by Barr] might have been considered eccentric, even radical. Mostly, people were concerned that it had grown too strong.

As the Watergate scandal unfolded, the former Kennedy aide Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., published an influential book called “The Imperial Presidency,” in which he enumerated the habits of potential autocrats: “The all-purpose invocation of ‘national security,’ the insistence on executive secrecy, the withholding of information from Congress, the refusal to spend funds appropriated by Congress, the attempted intimidation of the press, the use of the White House as a base for espionage and sabotage directed against the political opposition.”​

Eerily prescient, no?

What was missing in that quote is how the imperial, autocratic president would make the Department of State and the Department of Justice subsidiaries to the "Committee for the Re-Election of the President", and how he'd succeed cowing those supposed to serve as checks to his power, all with the support of an amazing number of pretend-citizens turned into subservient underlings and boot-lickers.

D-Schiff presented no crime, no evidence, no witnesses, and was caught lying his ass off again, having what little was left of his credibility was shredded....yet he says he couldn't / wouldn't do anything differently.


“Look, there's nothing that I can see that we could have done differently because, as the senators have already admitted, we proved our case. We proved our case.”



Bwuhahahahahahahahaha...


Bongino on Schiff saying there was nothing Democrats could have done differently in impeachment trial: ‘This is hilarious’

 

[easyt65]

SCHIFF was the only one who declared he could prove their case ... and immediately answered if he was ready to do so by saying, 'No...we need more witnesses / evidence'.

 

[Jitss617]

Do democrats not understand this is not impeachable? All these speeches are insane

What we are watching with this impeachment is basically the death of the old 1990's DNC. Schiff's "it's midnight in Washington" screed and Crow quoting Harry Potter is the last we will hear on it from them. After today the baton will be passed, Schumer and Pelosi will become impotent and they will be pushed out.
