Keep the Truth coming Mr. President
Keep on Tweeting!
A super majority in the Senate is 67 votes.
To acquit, 34 votes are needed. That leaves 66 votes, and that is NOT a super majority.
51 Republicans
47 Dems
02 Independents = 100 senators
47 + 2 = 49
67 - 49 = 18
18 GOP senators have to defect and all 47 Dems, plus 2 Independents, have to join forces for a super majority, to convict President DJT.
There - is - no - way - 18 - GOP - senators - are - going - to - vote - for - guilt - / - conviction - !
The wild card is that a few Dems may also not vote for guilt, and possibly an Independent too!

Jill Biden campaigning in Iowa...at a bar, standing next to a pool table....10 people were there....sad.
Thank you for the correction and an explanation. I found I was focusing on just having 51 Republicans and four of those are squishy. Then, I thought, “if I’m worried about that, perhaps others are, too.” You have helped ease my thoughts. I appreciate that.
Thanks.
They are excellent.
Im NOT impressed with the Big Blue Whale. Where Does she get her hair done? She should demand a refund. Surely she could spend a few dollars to hire someone to cut and comb it for her!
Ingraham playing the Bolton “I would lie” video. Kelleyanne is there on set as Ingraham plays it.
Tomorrow will be the last day. II figures correctly they are well over half way with the questions. 2 each I think is the limit. They are saving the best for last.
Imagine if this were the leading Republican candidate’s spouse, and no less- a former vice president’s spouse of a beloved “Dear Leader” like Obama! The candidate would be humiliated beyond measure by every major news org. at the very next news cycle/broadcast.
Gonna post APV now and will again in the morning
Just thought a few prayers for OUR president, his government and Famiky and for our country might be in order tonight.
Prayers thru the night

Lights out? Or on the porch with Mollie?
You are most welcome! It’s easy to lose track, because so many comments, reports and articles focus solely on the wobbly 3 or 4 GOP senator’s votes, that might come into play when a simple majority passing vote of 51 takes place. Ex: witnesses vs no witnesses.
This has the Democrats Running Scared.
“To convict, the Rats would have to convince 17 republicans to swap sides. I dont think that will happen.”
That’s good to know. What if they don’t have enough to convict or enough to acquit?
THE BEST IS YET TO COME!!!!
If they do not have enough votes to convict, acquittal is automatic.
