Well, I spend all day in an 8’11’ windowless office at NASA. I keep my door closed so that I don’t have to wear a mask.

BTW, I am a contractor, not one of the entitled government employees (LOL).

I just re-watched the video. A couple of things:

There were 3 UNIFORMED guards with badges and shoulder marking guarding the doors where Babbitt was shot. They were standing with their backs to the doors IN CLEAR VIEW of the shooter. The shooter claiming he couldn’t see any guards is lying.

There was a 4th plainclothes security guy standing right beside them.

IMPORTANT - One of the uniformed guards looks to the back of the crowd, sees something, and then tells the other two guys to get out from in front of the door.

From the time the last guard moved from having his back to the doors until Babbitt was shot is only about 18-20 seconds.

When the shooter fires his weapon, had he not shot Babbitt, he would have hit a uniformed guard standing DIRECTLY behind her in the corner next to the door. This uniformed guard was in PLAIN SIGHT of the shooter before she climbed into the window. He was looking right at the guard.

The claim he is making that he couldn’t see any guards is a demonstrable lie.

3 seconds after she hits the floor, armed SWAT members can be seen standing beside her.

Unbelievable heroism....

Just a few moments earlier in the video there were two uniformed officers standing in front of the doors. THEY MOVED SO THAT SOME RIOTERS COULD BREAK THE WINDOWS. I have no idea why this guy couldn’t see the armed cops STANDING RIGHT BESIDE HER. The explanation is garbage.

I bet the energy costs in Michigan are double that of Texas.

No we didn’t. Congress approved $787,000,000 but a large portion of that found it’s way back to the pockets of the politicians in Washington.

Impeachment is the vote in the House. The Impeachment Trial is in the Senate. He was impeached twice. He was acquitted both times.

This is a Bill of Attainder. Unconstitutional.

Got a newsflash for the Governor.... That list of witnesses that Trump will call will not go away. And all of those politicians will be put under oath in court of law, not a court of politics.

This would have to be the path they think will happen. I don’t agree with it, just the only way think they will “get there”.

1. Find a VERY friendly US Attorney in Washington DC to charge Trump criminally.
2. Seat the most one-sided, crooked jury imaginable.
3. Use an Emmit Sullivan type judge to conduct a crooked trial.
4. Get a conviction for Inciting Insurrection.

5. The House would then go back and re-file the Impeachment Charges.
6. The Senate would vote 57 or so votes to convict.
7. The Democrats would CLAIM that only a simple majority is needed.

Doing all of that, the Constitution CLEARLY states that the prohibition clause requires a 2/3 vote.

In short, they are deranged. They cannot vote him ineligible with a 51-49 vote.

They are just stoking the hatred of the country against them

Hey you nitwits, instead of CONTINUING to criticize Trump, maybe you can turn your wrath on the Governor and his administration that murdered thousands of seniors.

Innocent until proven guilty.... er, nope, now it is guilty until proven innocent.

Although affairs are not morally right, there is nothing illegal with Trumps legal agreements with the two women.

1. They didn’t follow the prescribed procedure. When Floyd stopped resisting, they were supposed to take the knee off the neck. They didn’t.
2. They didn’t know Floyd was on drugs during the arrest.

Someone needs to keep track of all these imbeciles and their moronic articles so they can be cancelled.

I grew up in Alabama in coal mining country. I didn’t work in them, but I know all about them. Kamala Harris is a blooming idiot. For every 100 miners losing their job, maybe 1 will be retained to “reclaim” these mines. That job will take less than 2 years.

These people are literally dangerously stupid.

The United States Constitution Article 1, Section 3, Clause 6

“The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present. ”

The United States Constitution Article 1, Section 3, Clause 7

“Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.”

The President of the United States is not being tried. Donald Trump lost the election. The Democrats made sure of that. They ratified the Electoral College vote. Joe Biden was sworn in. They had enough military presence to INSURE that Trump is no longer president.

Since Donald Trump is no longer President, the US Senate has no, repeat NO, judicial authority over him to pass judgement. If he committed a crime, the only way he can suffer any judicial penalty is by the Department of Justice. The Constitution spells that out as clearly as anything can be.

Any Senator who votes to continue this charade should be recalled by his state and removed. Their actions are CLEARLY unconstitutional. There is nothing, NOTHING in the Constitution about a simple majority vote barring him from holding office again. It is either 2/3 of members present or nothing. But even if they do that with Senator Leahy presiding, it is an illegal trial. You can’t try a private citizen in the United States Senate.

They are wrong. He can only be barred from office if he is convicted of the impeachment charges. That takes a 2/3 vote.

The Senate has NO authority to hold a judicial proceeding on a private citizen. The only trial the Senate can hold is for impeachment of a current official. The Senate lost all authority to hold this trial at noon on January 20th. That is why John Roberts isn’t showing up. Even he can’t weasel through the absolute unconstitutional nature of this action by the Senate.

This is a 1 hour defense by a lawyer. Trump doesn’t need to say a word.

I heard Rush talking about it, too. You are misrepresenting the point he was trying to make. He said he didn’t know if there was fraud or not. His point was that there ARE lots of people who voted for Biden. They believe in the Democratic Party. We have to work on this mass of voters who will blindly pull the lever for the Dems.

They were the senior people in charge. They are responsible for the data presented by their task-force.

Hey Bird, your data was useless.
