You will never see Jabba the Nadler move this fast again. – As the final question in this ridiculous DC Swamp Kabuki dance came down from Chief Justice John Roberts, no one watching doubted that the “honor” of giving the final answer would go to the Bugeyed monster, Adam Schiff. After all, Schiff had dominated the mic throughout the last two days, answering at least 80% of the questions that were directed at the House “managers.” There was no reason to think the Democrats’ last gasp would go to anyone else seated at their child’s table.
But Jabba the Nadler had other ideas, and was moving his chair back even as Justice Roberts uttered his final words. Watch this clip as Pencil Neck shouts “Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!” as the little rotund congressman from New York waddles up to the mic:

This impeachment scam has been a carnival freak show from Day 1. No reason why this “historic” moment should have been any different. Take a bow, Jabba, if you’re capable of doing so.
You seriously could never in a million years make these people up.
The Senate math to come this evening is as predictable as this day will be long. – In fact, it was very much predictable several days ago, as I laid out in Tuesday’s Campaign Update. We have known all along that, when it came down to voting on whether to allow the Democrats to prolong this farce by calling witnesses, Mitch McConnell could not rely on the votes of Mitt Romney, Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski.
He can’t rely on Romney because Romney is a mendacious snake who only ran for the Senate to try to advance his own presidential prospects. He can’t rely on Collins because Collins is up for re-election this year in the 50/50 state of Maine, and she stupidly thinks she can curry favor with Democrats in her state by trying to thread this needle, casting a vote to call witnesses followed by a vote in favor of acquitting the President. And he can’t rely on Murkowski because Murkowski is a political coward who is afraid of getting bad press from the Anchorage newspaper.
So those three will all vote in favor of calling witnesses, and Romney is so mendacious that he might well vote in favor of removing the President from office.
McConnell’s job all along has been to find a way to keep any of the other RINOs in his caucus – and there are many – from joining those three on this witness vote. The corrupt media and their Democrat masters have done everything they can think of to pressure Cory Gardner and Lamar Alexander to become the decisive fourth Republican siding with the enemy, but both of those men signaled yesterday that they won’t do Nancy Pelosi’s bidding here.
So, this math would leave us with a 50/50 vote in the Senate, and by rule, that means the motion would fail. There is some speculation that the Chief Justice might attempt to step in and somehow cast a “tie-breaking” vote, but his role is simply to preside over the trial, and he does not have the power to cast votes like a Vice President would during a normal Senate session.
Roberts has been subjected to pressure by the Democrats and their corrupt media toadies to make a unilateral decision to force witnesses into this trial. He could theoretically do that, but doing so would create massive public outrage, and not just among the President’s supporters. Most Americans, regardless of political affiliation, are sick to death of this neverending farce.
It’s really hard to imagine Roberts going down this road, just as it was hard to imagine Sen. Alexander siding with the Democrats on witnesses. It just would be outside his character.
Assuming the motion to call witnesses is rejected, the next vote would be on a motion to acquit. Barring some last minute “bombshell” – which you can never discount given the depressingly dishonest nature of our corrupt news media – it is very predictable we will see a bipartisan majority vote in the President’s favor. Romney is the only RINO likely to vote to remove President Trump from office; meanwhile, Democrats Joe Manchin and Doug Jones are likely to vote to acquit. I think we will see at least one, and possibly two more Democrats do the same.
And then, it will all be over, at least for now. But the House Democrats will just go back to their chamber and continue their unending impeachment process against this President, because they know their lineup of circus clown candidate has no chance of defeating him in a fair election in November.
These people will never stop, until they are stopped.
That is all.
Not a fan of nadler’s but thrill he basically told Schiff to pound sand.
I haven’t watched a minute of it ...
No. Mendacious does not mean mean or extra mean or viciously mean or vindictive or self-promoting or corrupt, or whatever all things that apply to Romney. Mendacious means lying. Romney is a politician and his lips move so he is lying, but I don't believe that that is what the author meant here.
We need to try to keep words what they mean to other people so we all know what we are talking about, you know like versus as opposed to vice or niggardly meaning stingy. This isn't grammar police. It is being clear.
Well you must watch today. ...it’s going to be a barn burner. ..
I’m thinking there could be a real possibility Roberts could piss the GOP Senators off to the point where HE gets impeached. Just imagine. THAT would really “make history”.
Hear hear. ..exactly what I was thinking.
What time will the show start, and when is the vote ? I'll probably watch the vote
Of course the Senate can’t impeach anybody, it can only vote (not to) convict someone who has already been impeached.I say, “(not to)” only because a 2/3 majority is needed to convict, and . . .
So you are suggesting that the Senate Republicans would be so angered that they would prevail on the House to impeach Roberts.
Which would assume a Republican House majority, at a minimum.
One would think that the death threats she is getting from the left would give her a clue how bad this idea is.
Starts at 1pm ET., PBS has pundit free. Uninterrupted coverage
First. ..closing arguments. ..may last 4 or 5 hours
Then vote for witnesses
If witnesses vote fails,
Then vote vote to acquit. Probably in the evening.
This is the rat party’s last chance to beg for witnesses. They will be doing every nasty trick they can think of. ...I expect schiff to continue to lie and make up stories. ..like he did yesterday. ....he has no shame.
If indeed there is precedent for a tie vote meaning a “no” vote, there is no legitimate possibility of an actual tie vote justifying a vote by the Chief Justice.The Justice Roberts’ reputation is that he wants to nurse the prestige of SCOTUS above all; having stuck his neck out far enough to have roused controversy over taking Schiff’s side on the identity of the pseudo-whistleblower, I hope Roberts wouldn’t go that far.
You would think that Roberts - who after all has a day job - would be glad to see this dog’s breakfast come to its foregone conclusion.
Coming up in November.
Do you know what time the festivities start today?
Thanks.
Ah - thanks for this info. Didn’t see this post til I asked my question.
Will be here at 1 pm then. Will be muting the Damnocrats of course and ‘listening’ to the commentary of my fellow Freepers.
thx for posting the schedule.
This cannot be overstated.

Keep the sound on. ..this will be Schiff and the rat party’s last gasp of breath. ....could be interesting to see them on their knees begging. ....”please sir. I want some more”....but they won’t be cute like Oliver.

I guess that’s the only watchable moment from the “House Managers” this entire shampeachment.
For the final question yesterday: Schitt the serial killer was outrun by Lard@ss to the podium, now that’s funny! And Schitt was closest to the podium!!!
For days Schitt had been practicing in the mirror his melodramatic final speech. It was supposed to be his Cecil B DeMille moment!.
Lard@ss beat him to the podium, Lard@ss got in his last pig squeal, robbing Schitt of his Tony award-winning performance LMAO.
Winning!!!!!
