Senate Impeachment Trial LIVE - day 2
lol..perfect
Well, I know what I won’t be doing. Watching one second of these 3 days.
I will read here on FR for any ongoing commentary....and will be looking forward to the rebuttal.
(When the Pubs get their rebuttal time)
When is it our turn today?
Saturday. Democrats get 24 hours or 3 days to present their case and then its the turn of the President’s Dream Team.
They are already repeating themselves times 10. It’s gonna be a long three days.
They don’t have a case. It shouldn’t take them three days to present it if it was ironclad.
The best recourse is to adhere to basic principles and not give a nod to the politics. The procedure should be objective even if the jury is not. Roberts is a wuss and McConnel knows he has the votes, so principle be damned.
The republican senators are relying on the vote and elating the democrats run rampant. Except for the last procedural votes. They should have walked out of the house hearings when it was not fair process following due process.
Surrounded by a squad of US Marines, in full Combat Uniform.
That would be interesting. I think having him there and looking those Rats in the eyes while they lie would be something to see.
So what did the heckler say and why did Hakeem cite scripture?
What on earth just happened? It sounded like a live animal sacrifice in the Senate Gallery.
Darn...I missed it!!
Didn't miss much.
Agreed in principle, but between the Managers effectively calling the Senate a treasonous and corrupt chamber, and Schumer's nearly hourly press gaggles throwing off any appearance of impartiality, I'm sure the Republican Senators are having to sit on their hands and bite their tongues.
A 'prosecutor' scolding the jury never works out well, but at this point, it's not about convincing the jury, but damaging the President.
Demonic female howling, seemed to startle the heck out of the senators.
While the republicans gave the dems an extra day, they did NOT give them more time. Presumably this was to enable the days to end before midnight. Actually last night ended around two in the morning. Are the republican Senators older than the democrat ones??
That was a female? Hate to meet her in a dark alley.
It’s best not to watch. Keep your sanity that way. Trumps lawyers have a handle on this and will have their say.
30-minute recess for dinner.
Here’s the real test. When the Pubs get their rebuttal time, watch for:
1.) The Rats constantly objecting.
2.) McConnell allowing them to do so.
3.) McConnell sustaining their objections.
Correct. The GOP Senate will do the minimum required in support of POTUS. In this case it will be acquitting him and no more. Gum flapping like Graham did today while mildly entertaining is not substantive.
