The only good argument that can,IMO,be made against a full trial is some kind of "ringer" the Rats might introduce...perhaps yet another "whistleblower" who tells a barely credible story.

I'm not convinced that the Rats have completely given up on the hope of removing the President from office.

And then Pence as well.

If the GOP senate goes along with this Stalin show trail and convicts then sadly I would have to conclude both parties would have to go. The current government would be illegitimate and have to be removed. That government would have thrown out a legitimate president, disinfranchised 63 million American voters and made your vote worthless. That government lock, stock and barrel would have to go or we would be at the point where Kruschev’s prediction of communist victory over the USA truly happened.

“civil war”...

I’ll believe it when I see it. Until then, go back to your Budweiser and kick-back on that moth eaten chair watching NFL football.

Which 20 Republican Senators would vote for impeachment. I am fairly confident that the senators from my state, Blunt and Hawley, are no votes. Thoughts, anyone, on senators from your states?

Even Romney knows the Articles of Impeachment are Bogus.

I think he will propose a Senate Censure of POTUS Trump as a compromise saying that the POTUS didn’t act Presidential or some mealy mouthed accusation.

If the GOP turned against the President I have no doubt they'd lose the Senate...And I have no doubt they know they would likely lose the Senate...

But at the same time the GOP Senate has convinced me over the years they'd much rather operate in the Minority than the Majority...So there's that...

Didn’t Mitch say he didn’t have the votes to kill it as soon as it got to the Senate ?

Not exactly.

He submitted a resolution to the Senate GOP caucus to advise the House that, given the nature of the proceedings in the House, that the Senate would not consider an impeachment arising out of such proceedings to be legitimate.

That resolution did not pass.

I have been advocating for a lengthy trial in order to torture the Democrats and utter destroy their narratives. I changed my mind last night.

A Fakebook post from a self-described "Moderate" Democrat friend of mine once again illustrated that he will buy whatever bullshiff is slung out the by Stalinists in the House. He was even fantasizing about extra impeachment articles next year.

My conclusion is that anyone who can be persuaded that the Impeachment Farce is a bad joke has pretty much reached that conclusion already. The true "fourth-stage" Trump Derangement Syndrome patients are going to hold fast no matter what facts are presented or how manifestly unfair and even creepy the House Democrats act. Screw them--let's get back to work on actual real work for America.

LNG ports in Odessa.

There's those Ukrainians again.

Or were you referring to the city in Texas?

That is for sure.

They are only one thing -- a horrible diseased collective mind, and I believe that diseased collective mind has been mostly created by a rotten, dangerous, destructive MEDIA.

The media as it exists today ...... must be destroyed, ripped apart and buried.

This nation cannot survive with this MEDIA.

I agree.

Perhaps our government needs to witness the watering of the roots of the Tree of Liberty once more in order to refresh their memories of who rules our Republic: The People.

And we only need 10% of us to rise.

Perhaps it will begin in Virginia.

Why not skip the trial after the Senate drops it and says it’s dead.. and then serve them to show up to testify.. surely they can find a reason to get those who did the impeachment, to have to come and testify on what they did and why. bring charges against schiff, nadler and anyone else that did this.

Not bad.

"The true "fourth-stage" Trump Derangement Syndrome patients are going to hold fast no matter what"

agreed though what is the percentage of democrats and never Trumpers are there? I would say about 10 to 15% of the voting population

in other words ignore them. We need to convince the democrats that has been lied to by the media which is the vast majority

Can the Senate just keep rejecting it until they clarify what actual crimes they claim ?

I have no idea.

Of course a trap is being set. Those scum bags have been after President Trump since he was elected.
