Has McConnell seen the light or merely the handwriting on the wall?
Did The Turtle go on Hannity wearing a fur coat?
Nah, he just wants his constituents to remove some of the pins from his effigy. He’s a spineless wonder, and this bravado will fade soon enough.
You can certainly make a case for making it shorter rather than longer since it’s such a weak case. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The word is that the President now wants a full trial to exonerate himself and reveal the crookedness of the Democrats to the electorate, using the venue just as the Democrats have been allowed to do, as a tool to affect the election.
I can’t blame him. A full length trial will denude the Dems of their pretenses to power, and loft the president. I am leaning to support of the presidency, so that history is very clear about the Democrat weaponizing our system against the People who voted for President trump.

He might recall how the republicans got trounced after watergate. From Wikipedia: Democrats won net gains of four seats in the Senate, 49 seats in the House of Representatives, and four seats in the gubernatorial elections.
It’s in everyone’s best interest on the right to stick together.
After the House votes they have consent to go home for Christmas?
Forget that! Stay there and put it to bed in the senate, then have your break.
I hope he wasn’t drunk.
Nope, just the panty hose. We’re talking about Mitch here.
Mitch McConnell made a fairly rare, long-ish appearance on the Sean Hannity Tick-Tock hour last night. – The Senate Majority Leader made a lot of very important statements during this interview, including an ironclad guarantee – a la Joe Willie Namath before the 1968 Super Bowl – that there is “zero chance” the President will be convicted and removed by the Senate.
*************
Super Bowl III, where the Jets shocked the Colts 16-7, was played on January 12, 1969.
Was a good interview and I’ve been a Hannity critic. McConnell was solid. The president isn’t removed and his strategy and the presidents’ attorneys will be one and the same. He said it more than once.
And he wants judges that uphold the constitution. He even said that the reason Obama didn’t fill more vacancies was because of him. We are lucky to have him.

Hmmm, maybe not. If the Donald wants a full trial there isn’t time to do the whole show in December. It could be instructional to have the whole cast of characters - Comey, Brennan, McCabe, Strozk, Page, et. al. testify under cross examination or plead the 5th. Drag that Mifsud guy back from Cyprus or where ever. For myself, I’d like to see EVERYTHING - classifications be damned - laid out in the open so that it can become an incontrovertible part of our nation’s historical record.
Or make a pass at a woman after a few too many drinks?
The Murder Turtle has actually been very good on Judges. He has helped POTUS greatly on that front and it is the most lasting legacy a President can have.
Under the rules of impeachment, the Senate then turns to it - has no option, but to turn to it - and it's the sole business until we finish.Maybe "sole business" on a technicality, but the Clinton impeachment spanned a month, and was split into two chunks. All sorts of legislating was going on at the same time the trial was going on, if you measure on a few days basis.
Go Mitch!
“I can’t blame him. A full length trial will denude the Dems of their pretenses to power, and loft the president. I am leaning to support of the presidency, so that history is very clear about the Democrat weaponizing our system against the People who voted for President trump.”
If there is a full length trial, what is the role of Justice Roberts? Is he just the presiding judge and the senate determines innocent or guilt? Is there anything Roberts can do to throw this to the rats?
Thanks for emphasizing that point. Mitch may not be everything we might want in an aggressive majority leader but he does well within his sphere of competence.
To lump him with the egregious Paul Ryan, as some FReepers have done on these threads, is pretty unfair.
Yertle has his yuses.
If the president is allowed his day in court and can force the testimony of real fact witnesses, I will have no quarrel with Mitch. The president exposing the dem witch hunt by interrogating them in the senate, an indictment filled Durham report, the replacement of RBG in an election year by McConnell and Trump’s re-election is all I ask for in 2020.
Thanks for posting just what I wanted to say.
