Does anyone know who the 15 Senators are that didn't show up today? If Ted and John were among those 15, I'm done calling, Maybe I will try the Shawshank letter writing campaign. It won't do any good, but I will feel better about it.

Fucking bottles the mind how they could claim to be honoring their oath of impartiality while not even bothering to hear the entire case presented. Bunch of fucking evil, hollow hucksters

Something to note, we had 56 Senators vote that the trial was constitutional. If 15 Senators don't show up for the vote on conviction, then we have 85 Senators. The 2/3rds needed for conviction: 56.6. That is quite the coincidence. . . or is it?

Uh. Does the jury usually get to meet with the defense lawyers?  Not a lawyer, but that seems wrong.

Say what you will about Jacob Rees-Mogg, but the tailoring on that suit is out-fucking-standing.

And I really appreciate his efforts to bring back the double-breasted suit.  It's a great look.

It's my own personal bat signal. Pretty much even if you need directions or a restaurant recommendation or something, don't even bother tagging me, just type a post that says "11oz worsted Lesser's houndstooth" or "Henry Poole house cut" and I will be right there.

OK guys who do we have dirt on?

OK, who's left that we need Trump to tweet, err Gab about to get their families kidnapped?

It’s not just frustrating that they met with the lawyers. It is that they did it out in the open knowing that it doesn’t matter for conviction or public opinion. And it’s even more frustrating that they would be livid if the Dems even thought about doing it. They are evil and they want to make sure we know it every chance they get.

beyond that, they weren't even there for stretches of time during the house manager's case. 

they. don't. give. a. single. fuck.

jesus, even when i go to an analyst day death by powerpoint event, i sit in my chair and pay attention to the speakers.

Just thinking out loud; is this their (Lee, Graham and Cruz) way to invalidate the entire proceedings, by meeting with defense counsel? Meaning, even though we know of what the vote should be, by doing this, they are just ending the proceedings and not allowing a vote?

Aside from getting the desired outcome, it would prevent any of the GOP from actually voting to acquit and it being used against them in the future.

Or am I just being stupid?

Anyone going to bother ever taking Raphael and Hawley to task for their bullshit or do they get a free pass because, reasons? Pisses me off to no end those two cunts keep talking shit and Dems don’t say a fucking thing except AOC’s tweety rant to Vulverine .

Not saying the impeachment trial is the place to do it but figured most people were checking this thread so posted it here.

Trump's lawyers should just get up and say he's innocent, we rest our case.  Nothing going to change a single vote. Might as well get this charade over.

I wish they would, but we will be subjected to completely insane and irrational bullshit for the next two days. I don’t really get why they like to put it on display, other than the rubbing it in our faces, like mrs whiggins said above.

Donald Trump's legal defense will focus entirely on process, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: The attorneys representing the former president know it's fruitless to continue defending his actions preceding the Capitol attack. Instead, they'll say none of that matters because the trial itself is unconstitutional — an argument many Republican senators are ready to embrace.

The House impeachment managers homed in Thursday on how Trump repeatedly encouraged violence among his supporters and how it affected not just lawmakers but the largely minority support staff who care for and protect them in the Capitol.

What we're hearing: Trump's lawyers will focus on four key points about the impeachment: 

It’s unconstitutional. They'll say removal is the requirement for impeachment, and Democrats cannot satisfy that requirement for someone who's already out of office.

No due process. It was "impeachment by reflex," and the article of impeachment was hastily drafted before a thorough investigation took place.

Violates First Amendment. President Trump's speech at the pre-riot rally doesn't meet "the Brandenburg test" — referring to Brandenberg v. Ohio — stating that any violence advocated by a speaker must be intended, likely and imminent.

Won’t unify the country. The entire trial goes against President Biden's core campaign promise, and Democrats are further exacerbating the divisions in the country.

They could get up and say “yep you’re right, he’s guilty and should go to jail. Doesn’t matter because you’re not getting enough Senators to vote against him. Our job is done here.”

Thanks for posting this; I had seen something along these lines after supper and that was pretty much what fishmouth Jim Jordan was repeating word for word. 
 

Greg Olear has an op-ed out that I haven’t read through yet but he must’ve had a sit down with some of the experts who study autocracy and extremism and they’re sounding a very grim future based on this wholesale sellout by the GOP. 
 

In short, rise of extremist violence because, like Trump, they see this as permission/success to further their cause and an acceptable means with which to do so. 
 

Power by any means necessary; rule by minority control.

This is a serious question - how hard would it be to boot Cruz?  I mean for you bastards to vote that MF out.  Is it impossible?  I'm guessing if the last election was 60/40 there has to be a real chance to put him out on his ass.  Fucker makes my blood boil.

It’s not impossible, you just need a good candidate and a competent political organization. Which means it’s impossible because Texas Democratic Party has institutionalized failure and no bench.

I’ve made it through all of yesterday and about 2/3 of today with it running in the background. Seeing the last 4 years laid out like this over 2 days is just brutal and so plainly obvious. If this movement can be shut down and marginalized, maybe we have a chance, but as long as we’re hellbent on pretending it didn’t happen, it’s sure to get so much worse. And it’s so plain and obvious but nothing matters, which is also plain and obvious.
