It's more newsworthy when one of Trump's associates isn't in prison or under indictment, Ted. 

Ted's audience doesn't even know or care who Parnas is.  They just see Schumer + criminal + ejection from "trial"= no good.

Jesus fuck, fucking chief justice is letting senate GOP'ers try and unmask the whistleblower in spite of the law. This whole fucking kangaroo court is a sham.

[SmokeyTheBear 5,569]

This whole javelin thing is the weirdest defense. You can arm the Ukraine, you can give them more defense capabilities, you could do it better than Obama. But you can also use the power of America to influence that country to further your own political goals....which is impeachable.

Sure, we were screwing Ukraine. But they didn't know we were screwing them so that makes it okay.

Ukrainian officials contacted State Department employees on July 25, the same day as the infamous phone call, asking about the holdup in aid.  These guys are flat out lying when they say the hold wasn't discovered until late August.

I keep coming back to the idea that, if everything was kosher, why does Trump and his team lie about the details so often?

Ted,

Why are you tweeting during the trial?  Isn't that prohibited, upon pain of imprisonment?

looks like they all had the same story:

Roberts may be the worst thing to happen to democracy. Between gutting the voting rights act (shelby county vs holder), opening the floodgates for unchecked corporate political spending (citizens united v FEC), and enabling prosecutors to get away with hiding exculpatory evidence (connick v thompson). The supreme court is forever tarnished and diminished thanks to him.

We’re getting to hear all about how Trump was just so gosh darned concerned about corruption. In Ukraine. Had nothing to do with Biden, despite everything everyone has said.

 

I’m not sure how these people do this with a straight face.

And yet he was totally unconcerned about corruption in Russia. We saw lots of video of ballot stuffing in Putin's last crooked election. Trump's handlers even wrote down an instruction not to congratulate Putin for his "victory" but Trump congratulated his master anyway.

Yep. And it’s bullshittery that AOC and the Justice Dems are attempting to primary him.

Isn't he great? I haven't researched his bio, but he has presentation skills.

Tbh, if you've ever seen the video during Barr's confirmation hearing where Kamala Harris is questioning Barr and shining the flashlight in his face, if they had her just flat out questioning WH counsel instead of the little paper passing, this farce would be over in about ten minutes. She is fierce and fearless.

[Horn Dog 10,046]

Can someone please ask Dershowitz if Trump decided it was in the national interest for him to rape 15 minors on the senate floor, would that be constitutional and unimpeachable?

Because she, more than anyone else, is simply parroting the ramblings of the POTUS and following his instructions.  It's her source material that is the train-wreck.

AOC denied it. They had a beef over Rep. Lee and his election for a leadership position. They signed a unity letter in 2019. Fake news at this point.

I bet Susan Collins will give the longest speech as to why she didn't vote for witnesses. 

[henrygandorf 29,199]

at this point, i'm against witnesses too.  easier sell as a sham trial.

witnesses have to talk, and it'll drag on, and both sides will get smeared, a pox on both houses, and the only real facts that come out will be stuff we already know or suspected, and that shit will come out anyway, and in the end...he still won't be removed.

so yeah, no witnesses is fine by me.  in a better world, it would make trump shut the fuck up about being a victim, but i know better.

It'll be worse when the senate starts investigating Biden and Burisma because Lindsay thinks it's the dem's turn to get investigated. 

[Mrs Whiggins 13,050]

Yes, Hunter talk on CSpan not going away, although Demings tried. If they bring up Alexandra Chalupa then might as well pack it in because the fix is in, we knew it was in but we (or at least I) somehow thought that the Senators would succumb to pressure given the revelations of late. However, the mob’s tentacles run deep and this is stupid. I still would like to see it hanging over him for the SOTU so if they can drag it out past Tuesday I’ll take it. 

[Pasken 1,309]

This just makes me want to vote for Joe Biden.
