They’re all scared of the liberal media, I suppose.

That is, if they are not in direct collusion with Nancy and co.

This is really a trial vote for impeachment lead by the Turtle ...

67 votes for removal, less 49 dems leave 18 needed to convict and remove Trump.

So we can expect the 12 who voted against Trump this time do vote for conviction.

And since Turtle allowed this vote to go to the floor in the first place, I would count him to vote to convict as well, meaning only 5 more GOPe types are needed ....

Each Republican who voted for this should be asked why they voted to get Americans assaulted and killed. Whenever they appear in public, they should be confronted like the Left harasses those who defend America. They are pigs.

Pennsytuckians Toomey is our target! 202-224-4254 and 814-453-3010 . As long as we have phones he has to feel our rage. Direct it at Patsey. Voting with murders and rapists are you sick. Zero logic just rage. You voted for the murders. The Pennsy number is always busy

I actually didn’t like the American version of “The Office”.
The Michael character was for me just flat out too stupid. The Structt guy was another one hard to tolerate & find humor in! It’s humor was too over the top.

The British version I liked much better. I found it to be a better satirical comedy on office life. At least to me the characters were far more believable. I actually met and worked with some of those guys & gals. The American version not so much. I actually had a boss like that David Brent guy - condescending, creepy, pompous, in love with himself - yeah just like him!

He’s in with the PA thug crowd.....I expect his votes to reflect whatever he has to to retain favor both in and out of office within the powers that be to secure his lot in life. He will protect his career first.


“The one thing all politicians stand for is re-election.”
A quote from a 70-something prof. in Government 101 at Cornell in the spring of 1989. I’ve forgotten his name, but remember some of his wisdom—and no doubt he would have said that if I could only remember one of the two, that is the better choice. He may have been a little bit of a liberal, but he was a cynic first and foremost. And I still have a paper kicking around somewhere that is extremely pro-second amendment with an A on it. One of his tasks in WWII was to help draft a new constitution for Japan.

They don’t make them like that anymore. Too bad they still are making a lot like Toomey and Romney.

I see Cruz was not on the list. I guess that is good.

“Surprised by the names not on the list.”

Yes.

I bet Mitt has 67 or close to it.

IIRC Obala vetoes a dozen or so bills. This will be #1 for DJT.

If he’s not that popular, why is he still in office?

Mever saw the other version.

Yeah, Michael is over-the-top stupid. Sometimes it’s funny but other times it falls flat.

Senate doesn’t have 67 votes as they will not get an override opportunity.
The House is a moot point.

The vote is moot.

I wasted a call to Mittens. That sellout.

The vote margin was 69.5%. Looks like to me it is a veto proof vote. Are these Republicans playing games or will the same 12 vote to override his veto?
