And... Doug Jones' vote duly noted.
Nancy is a political cartoonist’s dream. Her tongue-kissing Schiff would be great under the caption “Partisan Passion,” too.
Read Chapter 4 of Solzhenytsin’s Gulag Archepelago, entitled Blue Caps. Many Dem activists dream of becoming interrogators for the new American Gulag that they dearly long for.
No it’s not. They agreed to a deal a day or so ago. The amendments nonsense was just a waste of time to get people on record. The deal was about the process and all they did was put that in place. Amendments would break the deal. Now once they go through the process they’ll vote again on witnesses and there you’ll see the cracks.
Dems know that Trump will not be convicted, but they are busy making 2020 campaign ads using impeachment votes against senators in purple states. I suspect that’s why McC compromised on the format of the proceedings last night. He didn’t want to antagonize squishy R senators.
Not yet! At least one Moron (like as in the tabernacle choir type) will vote to impeach. Bet on it! (I did)
Note that theres never any doubt with Democrats.
LOL, thats a good one...

“Thats a good sign that the Republicans are holding together. RINOs, Never Trumpers, sore losers, none are stabbing us in the back yet.”
they have no choice if they want the GOP to survive as a viable political party: the GOP Senate *HAS* to stick together to demonstrate that the Dem impeachment is nothing but a partisan hack job, AND in no way can the GOP Senate allow even the tiniest little crack for the Dems to wedge their way into turning their partisan farce into a trial that becomes an unlimited circus of bullshit that drags on for months ...
the GOP party either binds together or it falls together under this unprecedented attack by the Dems on the GOP leader, chief GOP fund-raiser and chief GOP vote-getter, and ALL of these Senators get that! ... a few will makes noises like theyre open to this or that as a possibility, yada, yada, yada, but bottom line theyre all gonna vote in lockstep purely as a means of self-survival ...
“Do Democrats have any good looking women?”
Tulsi ...
“Will the real Joe Manchin please stand up.”
the real one just stood up yesterday ... repeatedly ... and we’ll see even MORE of the real Manchin as the days go by: no more and no less than a Dem party hack ...
He wants to run for the Rat Prez nomination in 2024.
Acting all independent & conservative won’t help with the Rat party faithful. He has to show his leftist side!
“The longer the circus goes on, the less time Dem candidates have to campaign in Iowa and New Hampshire, and the more the spotlight is on Joe Biden, whose corruption gets further highlighted by this circus, especially if the Dems dare not mention it, and the Republicans can and should as often as possible. This is a slomo train wreck.”
correctamundo ... and Jo Bidn would make a HORRIBLE nominee against Trump ... of course, so would bernie or liz, though i suspect liz would have a better chance at more votes than bernie or bidn ... at any rate, bernie is probably the one being hurt the most by this, because he has the momentum (though not the absolute poll leader), the most fund-raising, and a large coterie of truth-believers ...
“I don’t think could personally go to the CNN website, even on a dare”
i know, right? takes quite a bit of brain bleaching to cleanse the gunk out afterwards ...
“They agreed to a deal a day or so ago”
could you enlighten the rest of us with some links that demonstrate that actually happened?
They hide her so as not to make the rest of them feel inferior.
Ironically, if it hadn’t been for Blowy and the impeachment circus, for all anyone knew, Barr would have quietly empaneled a grand jury and investigated, using information coming from Ukraine, and either indicted Biden or concluded there was no there there. Thanks to this circus, even if he were elected Joe would be haunted by this controversy for all of his term.
Fortunately, that wouldn’t have happened anyway. If Joe is the nominee, he’ll be sliced, diced and pureed by Trump. The only dirt he needed was Biden’s video openly bragging about his corrupt bullying of Ukraine, and the fact that his low-life son was getting sinecures everywhere he went. Even without that, Trump would run rings around him while he figures out which state he’s in and when he was VP, and Obama openly disses him.
Too much work, I’m on a phone. The deal was widely reported though. It was just a deal on getting the process started (The vote that happened last night). Yesterday’s outcome was already known because of the deal. The reason things took so long is because the system is nonsensical.
