Trump's impeachment

Post Reply New Topic

In other news ... Irate villagers across America are stockpiling vast quantities of tar and feathers.

Pitchforks and torches are flying off the shelves.

Federal judges hardly compare to the trauma of presidential impeachment,most people don't even know who the federal judges in there own districts are.

 

Whichever way it turns out one side is going to insist it was a scam sham setup was fixed rigged et al.

After scolding from chief justice Roberts,opening arguments are now underway in the senate and could take up to six days.

Adam Schiff, in his winding up of the pro-impeachment case fodayreally gave a " prebuttal" to many of th statements made by congressional Republicans and conservative media (help, Faux News) press in defense of Trump strikingg to d's House-a two aorticles here.

From the couple articles I read and few videos I listened to, this seems to sum up what’s happened so far w/ the dems presenting their case.

One interesting comment from some old guy in an interview with Anderson Cooper was that he thinks many Senators are gearing much of this evidence for the very first time. Anderson asked if he thought they really hadn’t been following Any news about it & he said yes; because there’s a certain advantage they can maintain by being willfully ignorant.

That stood out to me and makes sense. If it is completely true, maaaaybe we will see the 4 required side with dems to allow witnesses if they’re Just Now getting the info And decide to uphold their paths to be impartial.

However, there are also reports that many republican seats are empty as they take extended washroom breaks etc and some who are present are doing crossword puzzles and playing with fidget spinners etc to pass the time and seemingly avoiding actually listening to everything presented.. which would lead me to believe those people have predetermined the outcome of their votes & are in fact treating this as the cover up sham trial dems have warned about.

Another article pointed out that only 11 Million ppl tuned in to watch live but that higher numbers are watching daily/evening newscasts - so the dema best net for informing the public and shaping opinion is to ensure their arguments contain many short sound bites that can be used on the evening news, social media, and in the upcoming election campaign. In this digital age, this makes a lot of sense.. and so far from some clips I’ve seen I think they realizes this in advance and have been acting accordingly. Interesting how This is a factor in this whole thing. Shouldn’t really be, but, it really is.

Wake me up when it's over.

Hopefully there’s enough public pressure on senators to allow witnesses and documents after the release of the trump/parnas tape that enough republican senators vote in favour of having an actual trial.

...Fox"a "coverage" of the Democratic testimony heavily consisted of showing Schiff's testimony on screen on a smaller box within the programming but without sound Instead (no captions underneath the soundless coverage titles, either, just pictures of Schiff talking) having Fox hosts and guests on-screen reading the Fox Party line. That's fair and balanced!

Of course republicans would never start a witch hunt against a legitimately elected POTUS



Who could forget the wonderful imagery of the republican diehards protesting against Obama and the record amount spent on protecting Obama from gun toting nutjobs

Another photoshoped sign held by a single individual? Looks like he is wearing a war veteran hat.

^ has nothing to do with what you wrote.

Can you imagine the scandal if democrats were doing something like that? That double standard is part of why republicans can still win elections.

Romney says it’s “increasingly likely,” that there will be enough republican votes to call John Bolton as a witness:

Mmmmmaybe a handful of these senators have a conscience and actually care about their oaths to impartial justice? Or maybe they’re just getting pressure from the public? Who cares as long as the trial isn’t a total sham cover up.

I have a feeling that Chief Justice of the United States William Rehnquist who is presiding will not go along with a total sham cover up.
