At first, I was reluctant to switch from Republican to Independent but with each passing day, I’m glad I did. I would never vote for a Democrat but the Republican Party is in need of major changes.

They’re already claiming Trump lied about election fraud. Opening the door to evidence that it actually happened.

This is a Impeachment Trial that was originated and is being steered by a Committee of Senior Members of the Dem. Party. This Dem steering committee calls all the shots and keeps the money directed to the Dem members who conform to their rules or the funds are stopped. This Dem committee is what keeps the Dems glued together and is very successful so max effort is concentrated and they get their misguided political programs to be successful.

Two farces in one administration.

More like 2 feces, both swirling in the same bowl.

Admittedly NOT watching.

Just caught a glimpse of McTurtle, while flipping channels.....

Is he DEFENDING the Dem lie about Trump “mobs” breaching the Capitol???

Hopefully, I missed something in that quick pic.

The defense lawyers need to show some video of their own.

And McConnell, Romney and company aren’t worried a bit about it, because once HR1 passes, Democrats will only let GOP lapdogs like them win elections in order to maintain a facade of democracy.

I have. It is unconstitutional to use the impeachment process against a private citizen. It is meant to remove sitting officeholders. Why did Pelosi wait until Trump was out of office before sending the Article of Impeachment to the Senate? Where is Chief Justice Roberts? We have a totally partisan senator, Leahy, running this kangaroo trial.

We know that it will be deemed constitutional by this sham jury that wants a political show trial. 45 Reps will vote it is not, if the Rand Paul vote holds.

Indeed, this obscene display is the epitome of how our Free Republic has now become a laughing stock banana republic!!!

The fact is that President Trump actually loves his country and knows what it takes to make us great, while these clowns couldn’t care less and are only in it for themselves.

Version 2: Highly edited video highlighting crowd disturbances by “Trump supporters” when in actuality they were leftist mob organizers.

The Trump defense doesn't want to go through that door, regrettably.

They’ve raised the “death toll” to 7.

The root cause of the whole thing and they won’t acknowledge it?

I fully expect Leahy will not allow into evidence any irrefutable proof of PDJT’s innocence . . .

Moreover, all of his rulings will be to President Trump’s disadvantage, stacking the deck to his detriment . . .

Raskin is saying that President Trump’s claim that there was election fraud is what President Trump did wrong. Just that.

Still don’t know how officer Sicknick died or who shot Ashli Babbitt over a month after the event. Why?

i wonder if the video shown was timestamped or just selected scenes to highlight their theories.

Don’t understand why they are afraid? Maybe McConnell struck some sort of deal to get this over quickly.
