Trump impeachment: Half-empty spectator gallery puzzles senators

The Senate spectator gallery was at least half-empty throughout the first week of President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial and senators serving as the jury in the marathon sessions are taking notice — some stunned that there aren’t more people watching history unfold, while others understand the public avoiding the repetitive proceedings.

“I’m really surprised at that because this is kind of historic and I would think this would be an opportunity for people to get in there regardless of whose side you are on,” Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) told The Post Friday.

Journalists aren’t allowed to bring cellphones or cameras into the gallery, so the noticeably small audience is known directly only to people able to access the chamber.

I think starting tomorrow, the gallery will fill up. Who in their right mind, wanted to watch 4 days of Schiff and Nadler spew lying accusations and pure, unadulterated fantasy? But watching their lies exposed? Now THAT’S highly watchable!

Cannot WAIT to watch Gutfeld’s show this weekend! Adam Schiff is the best thing that ever happen to his show. Tom Shillue’s parodies of Schiff are hilarious!

Saw a USA today in hotel lobby today and most of the front page was a whine about why we haven’t done more about climate change

She didn’t grow those.
They came from the doctors office.
At least 2, possibly 3, boob jobs.
Everything about her is fake.

Liars usually spend a lot of time and words trying to convince their prey that they are telling the truth.

“Historic” — only in the sense of the denouement of our once-great country is a historic event. When impeachment becomes just another arrow in the political quiver to destroy your enemy, we are truly lost.

I was in the barbershop on Tuesday and a new customer walked in. He loudly said to everybody in the shop “Why aren’t you all at home watching the impeachment?”

The whole place busted out laughing.

And this:

The Schiffters keep saying there was only an announcement to re-start an investigation of Burisma but no actual investigation.... TOTALLY FALSE!!!

There are THIRTEEN new and current. investigations of Burisma and Hunter’s boss Zlochevsky:

If there were 100 empty seats at a 20,000 Donald Trump Rally venue, the headlines would be 3” tall on nearly every front page in America!
