You Know You Can't Count On Him-- And Do Not Doubt That Every Senator Does Know That

>





Adam Schiff gave a really historic speech Thursday night. And he spoke without notes. He spoke with logic, passion and a compelling sense of urgency and honesty. Over on the Putin/Trump-First right, anti-American traitors like Gym Jordan, Trish Regan and Tucker Carlson did their pathetic best to denigrate Schiff's powerful and very damaging words. On the other hand, this was how Lawrence O'Donnell and his MSNBC panel-- sorry for the McCaskill interrupts... just fast forward through her bullshit-- reported it:





Just as Schiff was about to begin speaking, Arkansas far right closet case Tom Cotton started giggling and walked over to Ben Sasse (R-NE) and spoke to Sasse for the entire time Schiff spoke. Right-wing extremists Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Kevin Cramer (R-ND) also ignored Schiff's speech, gossiping and giggling for the entire time he spoke. Keep in mind, a new Ipsos poll shows that 73% of Republican voters said senators should "act as impartial jurors" during the trial.



Believe it or not, Cotton, Sasse, Cramer and Johnson were outliers in the chamber. Even though it was past their bedtimes, most of the senators-- including the Republicans-- were paying close attention. Rubio was actually busily scribbling notes! I wonder if he wrote to himself: "follow the president's own words, and read the transcript."

Schiff went beyond the innocence or guilt to the removal part of the trial. "This is why he needs to be removed. Donald Trump chose Rudy Giuliani over his own intelligence agencies… when all of them were telling him this Ukraine 2016 stuff is cooky, crazy Russia propaganda, he chose not to believe them, he chose to believe Rudy Giuliani. That makes him dangerous to us, to our country." Nailed it-- and everyone in the room knew so.



The Trump regime had a little reminder for the senators Trump actually thinks he owns. Remember, he has no understanding of the American experiment and absolutely believes he is the state and disloyalty to him personally is disloyalty to America.

the Nazi party also thinks they are the state and deserve to tyrannically rule it. they hate, for the sake of hate, everyone who does not have their faces in their laps. To them, as bush, the constitution is a 'goddamn piece of paper' that they trot out for their idiot voters (2nd amendment only) to keep them loyal. The paper they really worship and defend comes to them from donors.

you know what? The democraps are little different, except they are chronically in minorities and are desperately trying to find a way to cajole THEIR idiot voters to be just as loyal, in spite of giving those voters jack shit.

If you want to know the truth, Pelosi does not want trump removed. NOT removing cheney/bush worked really well for democraps in 2008 (thanks mostly to the perfectly-timed cratering of Lehman). She is gambling again that running against trump will probably work much better than running against anyone else. She knows that her shit party cannot field a slate of candidates worth a lake of pig shit for her idiot voters, so she must have a trump to threaten them with.

let the Nazis acquit and let Pelosi, dws, scummer and the rest run biden against trump. after all, that worked so well last time.

Their victory is that Bernie won't be president. And that pleases them.

Sorry, Adam Schiff is not an honest person, and this isn’t really an above aboard impeachment process... if the Dems had principles, they would have been able to vote on articles of impeachment January last year. Instead, they decide to impeach over a phone call, with little chance of removal. But, Bernie Sanders is kept off the campaign trail in the critical week before Iowa, so THAT much is worth risky giving Trump a second term.

Unfortunately, Barrasso is my senator and tonight I wrote him a letter to let him know I was sure sorry he was "offended" by Nadler accusing the republicans of covering up Trump's crimes. I am sure I will get the usual "thank you for your letter" letter from the idiot. They don't come any dumber than Barasso except maybe Enzi. We in Wyoming are so lucky to have two of the biggest morons represent us in Washington. Oh, and our bonus is we also have Lizard Cheney!

Modestybl, it also provided distraction so that nobody noticed the democraps passed USMCA (Nafta 2.0) which was functionally indistinguishable from Clinton's NAFTA, and the latest iteration of the NDAA which is indistinguishable from all the other NDAAs.

The whole purpose of doing the charade of a pretense of an impeachment after shoving both thumbs up their asses for 10 months was to inoculate the biden family from being smeared by trump/Giuliani... which will happen anyway when, not if, the DNC rigs the convention balloting (remember... $uperdelegates...) to nominate biden.

Pelosi and the democraps would much rather lose to trump again than allow Bernie to sniff the oval office.
