He sounds like Mr. Rogers.

Not a bad thing. Look how well the Mr. Rogers film did in the theaters. Everybody loved him, but were afraid to state so publicly.

NO one is sworn in.
Schiff will lie all day long. This day will be like nearly every other day for the past weeks!!!!

This whole operation is an embarrassment to intelligence


I keep telling my wife that. This circus is just to create the impression that “ fairness” is the end goal, when you could just take a vote after the lawyers gave their presentations.

This pseudo trial is just like many other senate / house proceedings, long enough to bore you to death, and tune out with “ impressions” vs facts being the decider.

Oh That is so very obvious!! I can hardly bring myself to listen today!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Philbin's answers are always neutral to the law and a fact-based rebuttal of House arguments.

Schiff's answers, so far, are continued attacks against the President and not defenses of the actions that the House has taken.

It's no coincidence that hardly anyone is on this thread.

And will be reduced by one as soon as I post this. This is a sham, propaganda from the Democrats. I'm heading to You Tube for some Chiefs/49ers press conferences.

Our Congress is a pathetic joke, and the enthusiasm FReepers have for this QUESTIONING DAY is nonexistent.

I hope Mitch just let's this entire 16 hours go straight thru.

Same here.. Muting the Democrats and their Lies. Just looking at them raises my blood pressure.

If rumor is used to impeach and convict a sitting president and remove him from the ballot, elections no longer matter and we have lost our republic.

________

Right ....... and if the great majority of the MEDIA backs the rumors there is no nation as was created.

So far this spectacle today is pukeworthy.

This is the dumbest format I have ever seen. Each question for the managers is going to include getting witnesses and the defense will say they do not need more witnesses.

I think Philbin's answer is a little off here, but I understand him answering it in the common belief.

The President is the executive of the states; he's not elected "by the people."

When the President conducts foreign policy, it's on behalf of the states as one voice so that each state doesn't have to have its own relations with foreign countries.

It's also the middle of a workday.

It's easy to forget that. I've been been retired for five years.

You make a good point.

A great point was made and illustrates the issue here. The Democrats think the Deep State should run foreign policy, not POTUS.

Bolton never went to court. The other guy did and the House Dems withdrew the fake subpoena rather than contest in court.

Yep, all the more reason to let it go for the full 16 hours, let this be over by 6am.

McConnell is a complete toad for agreeing to this format. What a fool.

Resign your “leadership,” Mitch.
