Republicans in the Senate secured enough votes Friday evening to reject Democratic efforts to extend the Trump impeachment trial and call new witnesses, as the final vote on whether or not to remove President Trump from office could drag into next week.

I think Mitch knew all along that the Dems next move was to delay impeachment trial so that Trump delays the SOTU (scheduled for Tuesday). Mitch affectively took away that strategy and signals to Trump to continue SOTU, and Senate will deal with trial later.

Not usually a fan of anything on CNN, but this article is good, sticks it to Warren for the question she submitted. I thought she had only embarrassed and made herself look low class, but it may have had other ramifications:

“End it, for God’s sake.

People I would most like to spit on:
Schumer
Pelosi
Schiff
Nadler
Romney
Bolton”

Ha ha ha.. Damn, I would pay to see that!

The real reason, I believe, is that that Congress (both parties) don’t want to give the President a “victory lap” over them during his State of the Union. They want him brought “to heel” - as Nadler said.


Agree 1000%. There is nothing more transparent inside the beltway than the bipartisan hatred and jealousy of POTUS.

You're looking at this like victors wanting to claim full victory at once. I don't think Trump is sweating anything here. He's probably enjoying it to a certain degree. That's his nature.

The word is both sides of the isle wanted to make statements from the floor before the Impeachment trial was over. That would have taken a lot of time. It wasn't something that could have been rushed last night.

Think of it this way. It may help.

For the next four days, the demoncRats are going to have it rubbed in their face, that this idiotic poorly thought out falsified impeachment is going to be defeated.

I think dragging it out is going to cause them daily pain until the final vote puts the last nail in this coffin filled with the dead body of their beloved impeachment.

That should put a smile on your faces.

Image may contain: 1 person, possible text that says 'Tim Donnelly @PatriotNotPol Imagine a President that is not impeached for IRS targeting, illegally running guns to Mexico, sending cash to our #1 enemy, allowing the sale of uranium to Russia, & using FISA to spy on opponents, but another is impeached for asking for an investigation into corruption.'
