Oh great.  Beth Van Dyne.

I dont know who teaches that fucking weird hand thing that most of these younger politicians do, but they need to be punched in the face.

Newhouse

and it was a pretty moving speech. you could tell he was shaken and sad, but felt like it is the thing to do.

[Hugo Stiglitz 23,367]

Any republicans that doesn’t vote to impeach is basically declaring themselves an enemy of the state. 

[DDD Dad 14,340]

We need unity, oh and by the way the reason we're here is because of the Democrats being divisive.

We are so far beyond this shit now.  The paradigm has completely shifted. Lots of folks are going to prison in the near future and they won’t be democrats.  That’s going influence messaging strategy.

I hope you’re right but believe you are dead wrong. Trump could kill someone on 5th Avenue and no one would do a thing.

That's what my MAGA relatives are screaming. They don't understand burning an Autozone isn't the same as invading a seated Congress with intent to kill.

One of the two crimes with which Trump is being accused is literally spelled out word-for-word in the Constitution's 14th Amendment because we were just fresh off an insurrection kinda like this week.  The crimes committed on the premises of an Autozone aren't addressed until well into the 37th Amendment "GET IN THE ZONE!"

Fixed it for me...  Such a ridiculous false equivalence.

It really is remarkable how white the GOP caucus is seeing them speak side to side with the dems

You skipped over the biggest point: but BLM and ANTIFA.

Don't forget how divisive the Dems are too, for wanting to...you know, hold the inciter of an insurrection accountable. 

[hayden_horn 11,362]

one distinct trend i've noticed is that, generally, democrats have well-fitting masks, whereas republicans have to constantly touch their face to adjust theirs. this must be by design.

If I had to make an optimistic guess, I’d say McConnell will be using every tool available to force Trump to resign without having a Senate trial. 

I agree, but I would also guess that Trump will refuse every tool available to get him to resign and force the senate to have the trial.

can someone point me to a site documenting democratic lawsuits attempting to decertify republican wins in national elections at any time in US history?

I made the same observation about the Judiciary Committee during the last impeachment proceedings. The Dem side was a good blend of women, people of color, etc. The GOP: angry white men except one.

[hayden_horn 11,362]

and i have to say, all this talk about "healing" and "unity" from the party who had designs to derail certification of the electoral vote...i mean, i just can't.

[Hookah Horns 3,083]

Who's the Texas jackass who spoke about past D objections to the electoral vote count and being silenced by big tech?

motherfucking this - a dem needs to stand up there and call out the arsonists for not just playing with matches but lighting them and pouring gasoline on the fire

[C-Man 27,231]

Hey Rep Cline, I think gathering the evidence will just make it worse for POTUS.

[Michael Knight 12,988]

 

[Gourmand 7,774]

I fear you are correct. The Republicans have proved that they can state a lie or mistruth and keep repeating it until it becomes reality. The Dems have  seemed to cling to being true to their own individual ethics. without uniting behind a single message.
 

Every Dem should be hammering these seditious assholes as traitors and putting their feet to the fire by answering one question: are you going to stand with democracy and behind the American people who duly elected Joe Biden in a free and fair election or are you going to stand with domestic terrorists? You're either with us or you're against us. Which is it?

He can still do it but he wants to throw this monkey wrench into Bidens first 100 days and let it distract.

Convening the Senate now would give the GOP the power to decide all of the rules of the trial.  Waiting until the 20th to start (or when Ossoff/Warnock are sworn in and VP Harris) means Dems set the rules.

that's a good point

[C-Man 27,231]

Rep Perry (R-Penn) asking how POTUS can incite an insurrection that was already planned and underway. He's been inciting since 11/3 -- hell before that!

Mr Connally has a very angry finger

this is why our committee debates are worthless as compared to the wild rhetorical arguments that occur in the uk. they actually go back and forth and argue with one another. ours just read prepared statements.

[Macanudo 12,989]

Newhouse just torpedoed his career.  His district went 58-39 for Trump in '20 and hasn't gone for a D since Johnson in '64.   It's only been less than a double digit R win twice (Bush in 92 +7 and Dole in '96 +8.)   It's usually like a landslide R district.  Hell, Newhouse won in '20 66-33 and in '16 62-37.

 

Good on him.

Just a hunch; I suspect he decided before today that he was gonna get out when this term was up.

Edit:  forgot to add; still good on him for doing voting to impeach.

I have to get up in 8 hours. I need to stop watching this, but there's no way I can sleep now.

[TXSG8R 3,362]

Gym is reserving a lot.  They must plan to close with some serious long winded shit.  Can someone speak more than once?  Id be surprised they didnt use someone completely shameless and willing to lie like Gaetz as a closer.  

[Macanudo 12,989]

I think's a real possibility (pulling the plug himself.)   The Primary would be brutal.   And he's 65 so he might not want to be like Steny or Nancy, in the house in their 80's.

Yeah, there's like a 100 pages of evidence in Mueller Report on collusion and coordination between Russia and Trump campaign.
