Closing arguments at former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial were expected to get underway Saturday morning — with each side granted two hours to make their final case to the US Senate before an expected vote on the verdict later in the day.

But Day 5 started instead with House impeachment manager Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) asking to subpoena records and call a witness sparking fierce debate with Trump defense lawyer Michael van der Venn.

Thank you, President Trump! I am hoping that he will be even more transformative as a leader now than he was as President. ... and that was amazing. I hope for a new party and new media. If anyone can do it, Trump can.

Not filed by McConnell - but he encouraged other citizens to file actions against President Trump for all / anything he did while in office!!!!! “He won’t get away with anything.”...!!!!!!!!!!

Are they going forward with the 14th Amendment and barring him from future office. I read this morning that Kaine (and Collins was working with him) didn’t think they had the votes for a Censure so they were dropping it. How many votes needed to pass the barring from office?
I think McConnell, et al voted Not Guilty b/c if he had voted Guilty, and Trump was impeached that he could appeal w/the Supreme Court and if take up, which I think it would be pn the constitutionality of Impeaching a former Pres., that all of the evidence would come out and the Dems and R’s like McConnell would be toast.

Turtle needs to be gone. He should be satisfied with the $$ he’s raked in via corruption over the last decades and ride off into the sunset with his equally corrupt wife.

McConnell is venting four years of superheated steam and putting Trump on notice of the possibility of civil litigation etc.. McConnell has just, in his stumbling way, taken he GOP closer to the edge. IMO, it can only be brought back by GOP responses to Rat actions. This will determine the GOP's future. But McConnell and friends are on thin ice.

Censure for Trump is probably at hand and possibly 14th Amendment proceedings. Whatever, McConnell is oblivious to the tens of millions of voters who are not happy with the GOP. Nevertheless. for practical purposes, the ball is in now Trump's court.

McConnell is inciting violence at this point. He wants more “protests” that he can use to attack President Trump.

“”””Objective is to unperson Trump and remove him from political life.”””

first, Mitch McConnell and now Susan Collins are ‘unfriending’ Trump.

How many others for the GOP will commit suicide today?

These GOP maniacs are so warped that they do not believe America is watching and has a very different version of what has happened during the past five years.

RIP GOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McConnell is trying to politically paralyze Trump with the threat of the 14th amendment so he does not campaign against McConnell’s preferred candidates.

“Sounds like a civil action is being filed by McConnell”

Can’t Trump file civil action against McConnell?

McConnell doesn’t care. He has his orders from the CCP to destroy Trump in the most hateful, vicious way. Frankly, McConnell is inciting a MOB to go after Trump. He’s demonizing him to the world. He’s going scorched earth to purge Trump & his supporters from memory and from this planet. Can’t believe we pay his salary.

These senators live in such a bubble. Do they really not realize that a huge proportion of the 75 million who voted for Trump Are in Trump’s corner not in the RINO Republicans corner? Maybe McConnell is trying to threaten Trump to stay quiet about the possibility of a new party.

I just don’t understand the venom coming from McConnell. I don’t think that Trump even attacked him as he did many others.

And from a corrupt U.S. government that told Trump there are six ways to Sunday. They’ve quite likely lit the fuse.

Go ask. I doubt either will tell you any more than your doctor would tell me about your last visit to him. Conversations with a president are not and should never be public. If it was any other way we could demand to know what Obama said to Hillary when our embassy was being attacked. So if you find Nd a way to get that information let me know because there are family members of some really brave men who have been trying to get that information for years.

Be still my heart!.....Maybe soon, Thank you for the picture!

I just heard an interview with President’ Trump’s lead Attorney....

He seems the most honest, down to earth man!!!

The Fox reporter asked him about attacks....he didn’t want to talk about it, but admitted his law firm, family and home have all come under attack!!!

No doubt...McConnell has acted rashly; he's off balance and his arrogance is getting the GOP in deeper. Instead of trying to move toward Schumer, he ought to be reaching out to Trump. McConnell's smug and vindictive approach will not serve him or the GOP well.

This is where the U.S. government no longer hides their hatred towards the American grass roots citizen. All these censoring actions were not to seek revenge against Trump but against us. They will now be coming for the guns.
