#2 that was coffee spitting funny (God forgive me)

And now the military is refusing to do a BS investigation of Vindman. Someone else telling imperial leader no, it must be driving him insane. Waiting for the final straw that makes him stroke out.

Ya think Sen. Collins is learning HER lesson yet?

McConnell just released his speech to call the vote to order. It reads, "Lets get this over with, I have an early morning T time at Maro Lago. Suck it Libbies".

(at least it's brief)

The article is about Medicade, why does the headline say Medicare?

#25 Cutiepie, Ummm..... this is kind of embarrassing since I think you misread my statement, but I was actually responding to Ira's (Bernie Bros on acid) incomprehension of your statement as I thought understood it and happened to agree with you.

But now I'm questioning both my reading comprehension and yours.

Sorry, I can't make sense of this rambling. Sounds like a Bernie bro on a bad acid trip or something.

I believe you were called a moron. Happy to help.

#10 that was a freaking awesome read. If I could I would have flagged it newsworthy AND hysterical.

#2 that post absolutely reeked of fear.

Just another example as to what a superior man Obama is compared to the orange "S" stain currently fouling up the oval office. But I'm sure if Trump keeps trying hard enough he will eventually award himself the "Presidential Medal of Freedom".

So the defense is that the hostage was eventually released so it was not a kidnapping?

9.2 million viewers later....

Even Trump's bestie Putin can't stand him. Trump better start writing some of those Kim Jong-Un type love letters if he wants to save his relationship with his buddy.

The White House has become Mos Eisly spaceport. Just a wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Like I responded to Jeff in the similar thread...

"It's just like Clinton's impeachment EXCEPT for the hundreds of hours of testimony over 9 months from almost 100 witnesses, thousands of documents, and testimony from the president himself. THIS administration is blocking all the things that would prove his supposed innocence.
So I guess it actually is nothing like Clinton's. So please enough BS. The records show very pointedly that this is NOTHING like that. (but you already knew that)."

Again - See Senate "responsibilities" for impeachment hearings. You cannot ignore evidence and block witnesses (and forego the responsibility of being a US senator at an impeachment hearing) just because the truth goes against the party line, it's called "dereliction of duty". So no, he cannot "choose" to ignore evidence OR procedure. There is no exemption to doing his duty and performing his constitutional responsibility just because he wishes to fellate Trump.

Impeachment is still a "LEGAL" proceeding and therefore is supposed to follow the legal rules established for such hearings. In the case of the Senate, it is their job to view evidence, hear from witnesses and then vote to convict or acquit.

Mitch McConnell has already established that he does not plan to review evidence or hear from witnesses. He is in essence abdicating his constitutional duty as a senator in an impeachment trial. So, because the senate chooses to ignore evidence of criminality it further establishes 14's conclusion that this IS a political process rather than a legal one as all sense of legality and propriety have been discarded for party politics with no desire to discover truth or uncover improprieties.

Since the GOP have already proven that they plan to continue abetting Trump despite all appearances of criminality, the destruction of the Constitution and the complete disregard and trashing of America's reputation as a world leader this only furthers proves the argument that this is a political process rather than criminal (because criminals are usually expected to pay for their misdeeds).

The "law and order" party indeed.

Impeachment is SIMILAR to a criminal indictment and is essentially a statement of charges against an elected official. So #12 is correct in his/her assessment that is it a POLITICAL process and not a criminal one.

The fact that they are trying to impeach an obvious criminal fraudster who has a buttload of charges being leveled at him by private citizens, businesses and the State of NY is only coincidental.

Even (numb as a quart of Novocaine) Rand Paul sees the foolishness of this whole situation (and he is an EXPERT on foolish!). However it still won't cause him or any other righty reason to do anything that might be, (I don't know....) brave or showing signs of integrity?

Look at all those triggered heads explode. Why so jealous? Because she is so young and being recognized for her work? Just go out and do some positive stuff for the world and you might be recognized too. Sheesh.
