a voice vote is anonymous, so there's anonymous votes all the time

it's just that anyone can call for a recorded vote to confirm the voice vote

Sure, but the Senate's not going to just go "y'all cool or nah" for an impeachment trial.

Plus this,


Means that instead of making the crimes not obvious and hidden, what the Trump team did with classified docs makes it super obvious who was in on the plot.

I still can’t believe it. This is somehow worse than the scene from the Wire on taking notes on a conspiracy.

Those systems also record exactly who accessed them and when, correct? Gonna make "I didn't know" a hard sell for anyone who shows up in those logs.

Yep. If, and that’s a huge loving if, support for impeachment reaches anywhere north of 15% he’s done. Republicans make up too small a portion of the population to have that many defections.

I don’t see it happening, but if it does, shot is going to get real crazy.

*womp* *womp* Now we know why the republicans are so silent. They have no idea what to do and nothing that worked in the past is working.

It's because it is an open and shut case, and the whistleblower is not someone who (Might) have a grudge or an axe to grind, like Comey: it is a career intelligence officer who had no reason to stick their neck out except "holy poo poo look at all these crimes!"

Add to that Trump already admitted that he tried to shakedown Ukraine, and Rudy won't shut the gently caress up, and it's pretty hard to refute.

Even my Fox addicted father is like "let's wait for all the facts first before we judge him guilty", although there was a helping of "I think Joe Biden is corrupt, they all are" which was :rolleyes: no poo poo, but even the Fox News crowd is paying attention.

It's doubled from 5% to 10% since the 20th. It's entirely possible they could hit 15% as more information comes out. There's still a second whistleblower report on an entirely different incident that hasn't really been made public yet beyond the basics of Trump interfering with the IRS.

you're making a pretty critical error where you analogize the party's interest as a whole to individual republicans. you need to look at it from the standpoint of an individual republican senator. for most of those senators, the primary is the only thing that matters. they piss off the 85% of their base that loves trump, they're out of a job. they piss off the 15% that has shame? eh, they're still gonna win the general.

now, the party's interest may be for all of those senators to take the hard vote, lose their primary for the good of the party, then unify the whole 100% behind Trump, But Less Obviously Corrupt. but none of the senators are going to go for that: they're republicans, suggesting self-sacrifice for the greater good to them is going to risk them literally dying of laughter.

It says a lot about who looks up to him.

Like look, if you're some young awkward kid and you want an example of how to be masculine and have your poo poo together and be respected, look cool, and have people want to agree with you and be around you then be like Idris Elba or Ron Perlman or something. masculinity is some dumb bullshit but good fuckin lord if you're learning how to be a man from fuckin ben shapiro.

Biden has sat immobile on the Iron Throne of America. He is the Master of Malarkey by the will of the gods, and master of a million votes by the might of his inexhaustible calamari.
Rudy is truly demonstrating the decision making abilities of someone who would put a terrorist response HQ in the very buildings that have a history of being attacked by terrorists.
