I think this hoax is going to beat the Russian collusion hoax and the Kavanaugh rape hoax for laughability.
Ping.
so Mitch is also working for the Chinese
Not enough punishment. McConnell needs to be made painfully aware any conviction in the Senate will result in bodies on the street. His, members of the Senate, members of the House.
If anyone thinks playing nice with the threat of "retirement" is going to convince them to not convict Trump, they would be sadly mistaken.
[So Mitch will have a trail...bet they impeach trump]
Not holding a Senate trial would be like the defense (the GOP) letting the prosecutor (the Democrats) make all his points to the jury (independent and moderate voters) without rebuttal. It’s a recipe for a guilty verdict (i.e. electoral defeat for the GOP in 2020).
Yeah, I think tying up six Democrat presidential candidates for a while is also a good thing. They’ll probably accuse McConnell of intentionally interfering with their nomination process.
Sure wish the IG / AG reports would be released. Pretty wore out by the leftist always controlling the news cycles.
Multiple indictments would sure help.
McConnell is identical to Sessions and equally worthless. Both men put Parliamentary procedures over substance. Neither could just govern. Don’t break the rules, but put as much English on the pinball machine you can, so long as you don’t tilt.
The flaming Idiot says “Senate Rules require”. THEN CHANGE THE BLOODY RULES. You have the majority. If Adam Schiff-head can change the Impeachment rules, you can change the Senate impeachment Rules.
How stupid can this spineless jackass be? Flaming moron just like Session. Always the Gentleman duel as your opponent is kicking you in the nuts and slamming brass knuckles in your face.
A S S S S S H O L E.
“The rules of impeachment are very clear.”
THEN CHANGE THE DAM RULES.
Yes, a trial is the last thing Dems want.
Doesn’t the House first have to vote to impeach the President first? If the House does not vote Yea for impeachment, then there is no impeachment to go to the Senate. Therefore McConnell is wrong. Am I missing something?
Here are the key factors. Mitch is up for reelection and he isn’t going to retire.
The Republican base loves Trump, look at the crowds, the record money being raised for Trump. 95 percent approval
of Trump’s base. Can you see that many Republicans throwing away their lifestyle, money making career, because
without a crime to excuse voting to impeach Trump the base
will vote traitors in GOP out of office, and in fact there
won’t be a GOP without Trump.
He is going to win the election in 2020 and any GOP Rino who votes against Trump will Be DOA.
And lastly it takes 67 Senators to vote for removal.
Even with the 12 Rinos I know who would love to remove Trump, I don’t see the math to remove him. I even think
Dems like Manchin will not vote to remove Trump West Virginia voted for Trump by +40% margin.
There is no investigation of Biden and son and Trump’s about to be impeached for dealings in The Ukraine. Upside down world.
Hey Mitch! LET’S PUT YOUR WIFE ON TRIAL!!! If we’re going after Hunter Biden (correctly) for nepotism, your Mrs is also a sterling example!!!
Yup. Why does these asshole politicians believe they have to engage in constant, incessant yakking?
To believe your premise, one would have to believe President Trump is no different than any other politician.
And the Pelosi plan takes another step toward her Presidency ...
I hate the turtle.
I contend that the best way to stop the House nonsense in its tracks is to point out that the Senate WILL hold a trial. The first witnesses called, in order, will be (1) Schiff to explain why he lied about the content of the original phone call and what contact he had with the whistle blower, (2) The Whistle blower, (3) the IG of the CIA to explain why the whistle blower rules were changed to allow hearsay testimony and who suggested it, (4) Hunter Biden, (5) Vindman to explain who he talked to and why he shouldn’t face a court martial for sharing classified information with unauthorized persons, and (6) the Ukraine prosecutor who was fired at Joe Biden’s behest.
An announcement to the media tomorrow along these lines would cause Pelosi to shut down the whole mess before next week.
I suspect most people don’t realize that this is a THREAT by McConnell to the Democrats in the House. He’s basically saying that if they forward with impeachment, he’ll have a FAIR TRIAL, where Trump’s people will be calling witnesses and cross-examining people...and the Democrats know that WILL NOT look good, not at all.
I have no doubt, that they want McConnell to NOT have the trial. That way their twisted version of history holds, and they can claim that the Republicans were covering up what Trump did.
This is probably McConnell last warning to the Dems...
