After one day of the bug eye show, you’d think they would want out of the rat trap they are in. Must sit, can’t talk, can’t use electronic devices, can’t ask questions, have to listen to the dummy talk over and over. I’d vote to get out of that.

I still say Mitch won’t allow Trump to hold a Trump Rally in the Senate. He won’t allow a parade of witnesses that excoriate and accuse the Rats as many freepers seem to think will happen. This isn’t going to be “Well, at least if Barr is not going to do something these GOP Senators are going to!” No, they won’t. Remember, we are still waiting for Graham to “get to the bottom of Ballsy Ford” (whatever that even actually meant).

Actually I’m surprised it’s even 45 considering all the RINO pukes in office who hide under their desks in their safe spaces sucking their thumbs anytime the Rats get crazy. We held both houses and they lets the Rats stomp all over them with this Russia collusion sh— when it was known the Rats tried to steal the election with the help of the FBI, CIA, the AGs office and the B.Hussein caliphate of which to date not a solitary person has been held accountable for

45 Republicans vote acquittal, 8 Republicans vote with the Democrats, 47 Democrats vote for Conviction & Removal, measure fails 45-55.

House begins new Impeachment Inquiry.

What really gets me is the MSM reporting of Trump denying Ukraine arms to defend itself when it was policy when Obama was in.

Short & Sweet: Republican, Leader, Mitch McConnell...end this farce today!!! Grow a backbone for goodness sake. Treat the darn Democrat scum & vermin the same way they Treated you Republicans and out great POTUS, Trump!!! They gave you nothing...not one thing!!!

And...whip that GOP Senate Caucus into shape. You tell any of your laggard weaklings...there better be fifty-three GOP votes for every vote you bring forward. “NO” is not an acceptable from Romney, Collins, Murkowski, etc. Tell them the either vote with the caucus as you require or, tell them to switch over to the Democrat Party, Traitors that they are!!!

And, Tell that fool Susan Collins that her seat is secure as the Sun rises in the heavens, every day because her POTUS, Trump is not only Going to carry her state of Maine, but he is going to drag her across the finish will a major easy victory come November. The POTUS will be in Maine many times!!!

As always the country waits with baited breath to find out how two women and an arrogant vengeful man will vote.

I think you would get to 50 at the conclusion of day #5 (first day of Trump team’s defense). And maybe 52 by day #6 (second day of Trump team defense).

Also I think Senator Manchin (WV, Dem) probably would agree on day #6 as well. Maybe even Senator Jones (Ala, Dem).

I would offer these two observations:

1. For some of these 70 and 80 year old Senators...this duty-day going to 10 PM, and likely not at home until 11:30 and probably not asleep until 1AM...will burn them out by the 10th day of this. Remember, they are supposedly working Saturdays as well.

If they go past two weeks of this, it wouldn’t surprise me at least of these guys has heart issues or a stroke.

2. After watching Schiff’s marginal presentation yesterday, I just don’t think the House staff is prepared for this impeachment. It just reminded me of first-year college students, and lacking preparation for an oral exam. Where exactly are the facts? Why isn’t Hunter Biden ever quizzed over anything?

I think polls over this weekend will show that virtually no one who voted for Trump in 2016....has changed their mind since the Senate hearing started, and that fact will worry the Democratic strategist. All this effort to reach this point, and virtually nothing to show for it?

A certain segment believe we have to have the appearance of impartiality and another segment thinks the trial is hurting the Democrats.

“There are 45, with about five to eight wanting to hear a little more,” Paul told the Post

These 5-8 are extending this abuse of power and should be ashamed. This circus must be ended.

Only, IMHO, because there are some R senators who are standing for reelection this year in states Trump lost.

It’s not entirely clear why there are states which vote for Hillary and which voted for a Republican senator - but that’s the case and we need an absolute minimum of 50 R senators next year, so . . .

The Senate urgently needs a rule for the future, requiring at least 55, perhaps even 60 (i.e., cloture) to even take up an impeachment from the House which will require 67 votes to convict in the Senate.

The Rats say they need to call more witnesses to gather evidence. Evidence is what you are supposed to have BEFORE you charge a person and take them to trial. If this were a normal trial, the defendant’s attorney would move that the case be dismissed for lack of evidence and the judge would grant the dismissal.
