I just got done emailing my senator requesting he get the dog and pony show over as quickly as possible. We know why it's happening and how it's going to end. Back to work boys.

I'll watch parts and certainly follow it. I have no intention on putting my head in the sand and pretending it's not there because it doesn't fit my chosen universe of "facts".

And while I think the current billionaire politician in the white house that was born with a golden spoon in his mouth and is fooling the common folk who he would never actually deal with in real life is laughing all the way to the bank and is the most corrupt person we have had in the office in my lifetime...... I really wish the dems would just concentrate on finding better people and winning the election.

The dude was clearly corrupt before he ever won. If you can't beat that hot mess you deserve him..... then again neither could the record number of R's running against him once again demonstrating there is more similarity between the parties than differences.

It is sort of bad to (illegally) withhold funds until another country announces an investigation in to your political rival however. To let that go would be to make us 3rd world countryish. And if you believe there was really just a heart felt concern to fight corruption (retroactively) in foreign lands you really have drank the orange kool aid and need to reread the previous paragraph. You want to believe that out of convenience but in no way would accept that premise if you removed or switched the R and D.

That said this process is already over and it is a farce by both sides. This admin is straight out of Orwell but it seems as if the other side is too. They are both playing and those lathered up on either side are the puppets.

I really do not understand the cult like devotion some have to either party, to the point they willingly ignore fact and logic (And in the current case the party's core values over the last 50 plus years). And it's definitely not just one team. It's not mutually exclusive at all. The screaming chimps on one side actually believe they look different than the screaming chimps on the other. And to not worship at the cult of their choice completely puts you in the other cult.

Sad. (mirroring a carrots line)

Isn't this a conviction trial? I thought he was already impeached.

Schiff sure gives an excellent opening statement. Very skilled.

I didn't see it....but, I'm laughing out loud here...are you being serious Robert, or just trying to get Tittums to blow chunks?


Schiff delivers a set of lines pretty well -- but, on any further examination, he's generally full of partisan crap -- he sounds impassioned at times, but he rarely says much that isn't meant to create left talking points or rile up righties -- I don't think even he believes much of what he actually says most of the time

No. No. No. I am not commenting on anything beyond his legal skill to give an Opening Statement.

How'd we end up with so many courtroom lawyers in the Capitol? And is that a good thing?

Oh go back to gargling Schiff's balls and you'll be in your happy place again.

Anti-Trumpers were OK with an unfair and partisan trial in the house I am happy with a partisan trial in the senate. This is what happens when you fack a man in the a$$.

I had no idea there even was a "swamp" before Trump started talking about the need to clean it up during the Republican debates prior to the 2016 election. Since then, nearly everything he said has turned out to be true and the "swamp" clearly has been exposed. It is the collection of appointed and civil service bureaucrats who run far too much of Washington. They have to go. Trump is fighting them tooth and nail. They are behind most of the resistance he has faced.
The problem for them is, his policies have been hugely successful in spite of unprecedented and illegal tactics used against him. People are realizing that the man meant exactly what he said about what he was going to do. That is an amazing thing, a president who does exactly what he says he will.
God bless him. He will start locking some of those scumbags up after he wins the 2020 election and that is where they belong.

Observation:

Listening to Schumer talk about fairness is like hearing from Benedict Arnold about loyalty.
