Get back to us when...”By 2017, Limbaugh was the second highest paid radio host in the United States, earning an annual salary of $84 million.”
“A FRIVOLOUS impeachment vote is a SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY”
Trump should have them arrested by the Federal Marshalls.
He could call the DOJ and get a few thousand lines un-redacted too. Oh wait....he did, and they weren’t.
Delusional. Trump better get out now, or do you want to endure another five years of this crap?

Every time a President vetoes an act of Congress would technically be obstruction ‘of Congress.’
They can do everything from #4 on even if they dismiss it- in fact ESPECIALLY if they dismiss it as having no basis to proceed.
You will probably get your wish.
McConnell has stated that he is working closely with Trump and his team on the Senate rules and that he will give Trump what he wants, as much as he is allowed to do.
And Trump has stated that he wants to use this opportunity to present his witnesses and his case.
They should vote to acquit not dismiss.
And the reason I split it out like that, is you put too much stuff in one vote and it fails. #10 and #11 would likely kill it.
Right. That's what I've been saying. But he can't do an end-around of Congress in a Congressional proceeding. That's why the Senate trial approach is a pipe-dream.
I hope the Senate majority leaders does to the Dims what the House Dims did to the House minority:
1. The Dims in the Senates cannot call any witnesses (or witlesses) without the permission of the Senate Majority Leader.
2. The Senate Majority Leader will state he has heard enough of the House Witlesses and recommend it is time to end the trial and vote for acquittal.
I also hope each of the Republican Senator has a stuffed Kangaroo on his or her desk which he or she can give to a child or a grandchild after the trial.

Remember Senate republicans in the Clinton impeachment, led by the once-conservative Orrin hatch, who spoke of being gentlemanly, deliberate and civil.
They don’t want a bit of blood or saliva on the chamber’s carpet.
LMAO you got a nibble down below
No, we don't.
For this to end, you need two things:
1) Rules for the conduct of the trial
2) A bipartisan majority to acquit.
Yes, I know you only need 34 Senators to "acquit", technically, but to put this six feet under and prevent a recurrence, you need a bipartisan majority vote.
Now, the first order of business is to prevent Schumer from getting his rules. That will take 50 or 51 votes (I'm not going to discuss Pence here).
Schumer will have full blast media demands, 24/7, for a "fair" trial. I'm CERTAIN he kows what Bolton and the others are going to say. He's probably written Bolton's testimony for him.
There are at least four, and probably more, GOP Senators who are up to their eyeballs in Ukraine corruption. THEY MUST BE KEPT ON BOARD FOR THE RULES VOTE.
And the only rule they can support is "no witnesses". Because if Schumer gets Bolton, Trump will get his witnesses, and the Senate will be burned to the ground.
There's an argument to be made that burning the Senate to the ground on his way out the door would be more than Trump has been able to do so far, but I doubt he sees it that way.
If McConnell puts up a rule to allow witnesses, it will be defeated, and Schumer's rule for limited witnesses (four, in fact) will pass.
You can have a quick trial, no witnesses, and a 55 vote acquittal, or you can have witnesses and 75 votes to convict.
I prefer the former. You?
I saw that. Lol.
It’s a joke. Albaby posts it frequently.
Yep - the ever true and consistent national treasure is still going strong.
