Middle of the Night Trial

The sooner this partisan fiasco ends the quicker we can get on to the next one. Hopefully at some point the people will get sick of the nonsense and demand our leaders start working for the people instead of these hateful bias parties.

I'm hoping the end of this comes in Nov - we shall see.

Baloney.

Read the actual rules -- not liberal spin.

Both sides can present their cases for no more than 24 hours -- over a two-day period. No one's forcing anyone to do anything in the middle of the night, but members of Congress have been known to filibuster into the wee hours.

Trying to defend what a mockery McConnel is is pretty pathetic. Just admit you are a complete dishonest hack that doesn't care about the facts, you'd have more respect than the stupid lying and trying to justify an obvious attempt to hold a mock hearing and to rush this through.

Republicans are just as big of crooks as Trump
 
I'd like to see the time slots Trump prescribed. Who gets Hannity's slot? I bet Trump's TV lawyers. Who gets the midnight slots? Dems?

Mitch McConnell Plans To Hold Trump’s Impeachment Trial In The Middle Of The Night With No Evidence

Just saying.

This should be an interesting dynamic to keep an eye on today.

Maybe you should contact your Senators. When they found out Republicans will be calling Hunter Biden they decided it wasn't a good trade for Mulvaney, Bolton, and Pompeo.

Not to mention McConnell has the votes to set the identical Senate rules as were voted on 100% by Democrats in the Clinton impeachment. Now they don't like it?

Call me surprised.

And the Dems in the house used the SAME rules that Republicans voted on. Yet they still whined and cried, imagine that. Call me surprised.

That's funny I didn't vote for Clinton and I didn't vote for Obama in his second term. Nice try, you failed again. Now go salute your cutout of Trump this morning, it is a required procedure for Trump sycophants.

That's not true.
 
Chomsky said:
Well, it may be getting scripted for prime time. I suspect that's when we'll see the height of Trump's TV lawyers' skits. He better get it right there live though, because he will be losing the Fox prime-time analysis slots he depends upon ordinarily.

Trump (via McConnel) is focused upon his base nearly exclusively, and he will be speaking directly to them via Fox. That's all that matters, to keep the Republican Senators deciding his fate. Instead of the audience getting Hannity, they will get a live hearing including equal time from the Dems. It could go sideways, though I suspect McConnel knowing he's producing a live television production and will act accordingly exerting his control.

Probably not old enough to vote for bill clinton. YOu still voted for obama and defended his crime and corruption.
so please do not sit here and act like you didn't.

obama should have been impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of congress along with bribery and extortion.

Sorry i don't salute presidents. not sure why you do.

No Republican voted for no opposing witnesses
No Republican voted for no minority day
No Republican voted for hearsay witnesses
No Republican voted for closed door depositions to weed out opposing testimony
No Republican voted for secretly subpoenaing political opponents phone records and releasing them to the media
No Republican voted for squashing testimony of the Whistle blower
No Republican voted for Schiff's fake Soprano rendition of the Zelenski phone call

But you keep that dream alive while Trump is acquitted.

Show me where I defended his crime and corruption. And sorry you failed again because I was old enough to vote for clinton and didn't in either of his terms.

so please do not sit here and act like you didn't.

Show me where I did or just admit you lied.

Obama should have been impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of congress along with bribery and extortion.

Bribery and extortion where? You are so desperate because your false god Trump is being impeached for his abuse of power. You support all of Trump's corruption and abuse of power so you have to try and project that support onto others. Just like in life, you have FAILED. :lamo

Now, go give a kiss to your Trump cutout like a good Trump sycophant.

Sorry i don't salute presidents. not sure why you do.

Sure you do, every morning you salute and kiss your cutout of Trump like a good supporter.

You can claim that all you want. The voters know better. The rules allow the majority to vote and set the rules. Nobody even conceived the majority would try and have a accusing witness only hearing because nobody has even attempted it before.

So while you are celebrating your big win, the voters got to see it for themselves. And because of the antics, Trump will be acquitted and reelected.

Everyone got to see how one sided the hearing was and its aftermath.

No Republican support
No criminal charges
No witnesses that can testify in court
No opposing witnesses got to testify

If this is your idea of a fair hand or your big win, I would suggest you prepare yourself for the result.

Moscow Mitch can't afford to have John Bolton testify before the American people.

He had an inside seat (the Oval Office) to Trumps Ukraine "drug deal" as he characterized it.

That's why trump switched parties, he would never get elected by Democrats,he is too big of a crook and Democrats actually pay attention and research candidates...

Democrats were aware of his Russian ties and that he was constantly lying about it...

Innocent people don't like being charged with non-existent crimes for political purposes. The sham impeachment deserves to be relegated to midnight so it will preempt Stephen Colbert and the rest of the late night "comedy" shows.

There isn’t any question about the President’s guilt, or his obstruction.

Why are you wasting your time with claims like that? Trump isn’t.

He has declared himself above the law.

And Mitch McConnell is leading an effort to make it official.
