And, oh by the way....FUMR!

[blackdog]

He steps closer and closer to a man of useless disposition to any matters but his own.

[Macoozie]

If he does, pull any and all committee assignments.

Have him earn his way back in.

[MissEdie]

Maybe they could start by electing someone who grew up in that state and has lived there more than a couple of years.

[1Old Pro]

Any Dem NO's?

Not sure, more likely to have a handful of NO's on the impeachment vote itself.

[1Old Pro]

Is this confirmed or a prediction?

A prediction, Murkowski said they will have a statement soon I heard.

[Tadhg]

Any word on Manchin ? Hoping to claim “bipartisan” support to end this coup.

[Man from Oz]

Right there with you! I even gave money to McCain...

MFO

[Deo volente]

Romney’s father was a liberal and Mitt is simply following in his footsteps.

Fruit of the rotten liberal tree.

[Maudeen]

His family must be proud.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Is anybody really surprised?

[Responsibility2nd]

People Please!!!

Are we forgetting Mike Pence???

Tie Votes. “The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided” (U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 3). Since 1789, 268 tie-breaking votes have been cast.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Murkowski will be a NO.

Agreed. She had that long closed door meeting with Mitch. I think she traded her vote in exchange for two more Bridges to Nowhere.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Just when you think a turd couldn’t smell any worse.

[ManHunter]

The most likely NO on the other side of the aisle is Joe Manchin, but Kyrsten Sinema and Doug Jones, the latter of whom doesn’t have much longer in the Senate, are supposedly on the fence as well. This may be Jones’s last ditch, but feeble, attempt to hold his seat.

[Teacher317]

Are you sure about that, Willard? Do you really want more witnesses into the Ukraine corruption scandal that our President was wanting to investigate further?

Joseph Cofer Black, a national security adviser for the 2012 Mitt Romney campaign, sits on the board of directors of Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian oil and gas giant that paid at times more than $83,000 per month to Hunter Biden

[Deo volente]

Pence voting to break the tie?? All hell would break loose.

Besides, I don’t think he can in this case. He’s not presiding, and it’s not a legislative bill that he would be considering.

[Antoninus]

Is there anything worse than a backstabbing weasel?

[kempster]

Has Murkowski come out as a definite No yet? If yes, this makes Willard look totally stupid and very petty.

[Openurmind]

This was my worst fear. Roberts will have to break a tie. Not just on witnesses but also if the same happens on the vote to acquit or not if it too is 50/50.

This could start a revolution if he votes wrong...
