MSN, CNN and other liberal media outlets refer to the "kickoff" of the circus impeachment trial.
Starting Tuesday at 12 pm ET, four hours equally divided between the Impeachment Managers and Trump’s lawyers to present arguments on the constitutionality of the trial.
After the arguments, the Senate will vote on whether the Senate trial is proper, with a 51-vote threshold.
Wednesday, February 10 both sides begin 16 hours each to present their case. Each side must use their time over no more than two days and each day’s presentation will not exceed eight hours.
Next, both sides will get a total of four hours to debate potentially calling witnesses and subpoenaing documents.
After any witnesses or documents are addressed, both sides will get four hours total for closing arguments.
The Senate will then deliberate and vote.

I just started to use my computer and am not finding a live thread on today’s Senate trial, 2/10/21. Is there one?
You know the GOP used to be a third party, right? Why do you think they’re entitled to our support?
Why do you assume I said or referenced anything resembling your description?
He did this in spades, not only with the election outcome, but the favorable outcome of the war and perhaps, most importantly, his tragic assassination.
The GOP won the next two national elections by convincing margins, but the two after that just barely. But it became a viable party thereafter and won five of the next seven national elections.
The sole exception was the same guy (Grover Cleveland) who went on to be a fairly decent president.
