This tells us that even if Trump were to be impeached, the entire exercise is a waste of time. They will NOT get the 67 votes needed to remove him.

We already knew that.

I see your point but if he can’t even join in condemning the Rats in this, it’s too late. The -rick must want it both ways.

F him.

As Lindsey’s face falls he’s starting to look more and more like old Southern lawyers typically look

It’s funny isn’t it

He has been utterly useless from his perch on the corrupt Senate intel committee.

Maybe that committee is the deep state's welcoming committee for new members.

SEN. GRAHAM CAN CONVENE HIS COMMITTEE AND CAN SUBPEONA ANYONE FROM THE HOUSE SUCH AS MS. PELOSI, SCHIFTY SCHIFF AND SCREWBALL SWALWELL.
That would be unprecedented, IMHO - and, on that basis, doomed to fail.

Now if in fact the House did impeach, and the case went to the Senate, all bets might be off.

But not yet.

So it’s all very well and good that Lindsey can get 50 or 51 senators to “condemn the House impeachment proceedings,” but..uh..so what? It carries no real weight to verbally, or even by vote, to condemn the House proceedings.
Yes, but 50 senators (plus Pence) could simply decline to consider any charges coming out of the secret hearings. Worse, from Pelosi’s POV, they might subpoena Schiff and put him on the hot seat. They can’t do that under any other circumstances, I agree - but in the context of an impeachment . . .

The voters have proven there’s something they care about much more than they care about this country. But I’m not sure if they care more about Pierre than they do about their own bank accounts and ability to tithe.

I can’t believe Collins is only 66 years old. She looks and sounds like the walking dead.

There was not a majority in the GOP caucus to refuse to consider charges arising out of this process.

What they agreed to is meaningless.

They refused to consider a “we will not convict” resolution, by a large majority.

They’re not supporting Trump, they’re hedging their bets.

The last 30 years of my life are approaching surrealism.

The sane, rational part of my brain simply cannot accept that this insane despicable crap is happening, utterly unfettered and unchecked.

I don’t know my country anymore.

Ronna tweeted encouragement to all to support this act. Hint she controls the purse strings of the GOP.

I’m thinking NOT just Utah. Add Arizona and Nevada, Flake and the former Majority leader in the Senate, Senator whatshisname who got ostensibly thrown off the exercise machine and lost an eye. All three belong to the same political party, only two of them were stealth members until they couldn’t help themselves and became mavericks in the mold of another good and dead Senator.

During the Kavanaugh hearings, I decided to stop calling Mitch “The Turtle” and Lindsey “Linda” until they earned the titles back.....they’ve both been close to the tipping point over the last couple months but they keep having small “redeeming” moments.

I agree about the spineless behavior of Cotton.

I was unpleasantly surprised.
