I can’t say I agree.....Why drag this out and watch a repeat of everything we already know? people already know what a chrade this entir thing is. So why not call a vote and end it? Thus Trump can role on without this around his neck, and it will at least tie the hands of the public spectacle the Dems want to use thrughout this next year.

Don’t give the RATS time to manufacture more FAKE evidence. End this s**t now!

I wonder if there is a procedure for an “in limine” motion to dismiss the “indictment” before taking any testimony at all.

Pretty soon, it’s going to get to the point that every President is going to be Impeached at least once. The Rats are setting the precedent, it’s going to become a “badge of honor”.

The Dems ruin the meaning of everything by over use. When every Republican is a racist and every GOP President gets impeached, it's meaningless.

Yes. It would require only a majority vote of the Senate to dismiss the charges. But it might create bad optics.

So as we thought. Linda and Mitch are going let the rats go on national television,stick more knives into the President and let them go back to their MSM safe spaces. No rebuttal no White House questions, no White House witnesses. Mitch and Linda are both up in 20.

Oh I think that’s coming...but not in this matter before the Senate.

It’s already out in the open and everyone knows it.

This is proper. Give this trash one second on the Senate floor...then dump it. It’s the ultimate right back in your face.

A trial could, perhaps, work out very well for Trump, no doubt about it. It’s a close call, but I like the symbolism of stomping this impeachment into the ground & giving it ZERO weight or respect.

Me, too. I want to SEE how the sausage is made. Just describing the process is no longer acceptable. We now know it’s more than just prime beef, pork and veal. It really does contain pig snouts and beef lips.

There is virtually no way the Senate will do the right thing. The Democrats in the House have thrown themselves on the floor, holding their breath in a kicking screaming tantrum. I fully expect the GOP to buy them a Lolly.

The Senate didn’t allow any witnesses be called during the Clinton impeachment and that still lasted 6 weeks.

They at least need to call all the witnesses who perjured themselves in previous Congressional hearings.

Exactly! Trump is under the false assumption an open trial will give him vindication....it won’t.

“Here’s what I want to avoid: this thing going on longer than it needs to,” Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina told the Washington Examiner. “I want to end this.”

This is a facsimile of impeachment - far from what impeachment means...STOP it now! Let this POTUS go on and do his job for Americans.... nothing will save the speaker's job now....she is finished. The coup has failed and we know who the players are starting with the Obamas...yes both Obamas.

this is completely insane and will set up the media and the Dems to continuously scream that the Pubs did a whitewash, which in effect they would be doing by voting without calling witnesses ...
