FlamingLiberal posted:All of their defenses have been pathetic and each one is making things worse for them I honestly think the Senate Republican position is going to boil down to something like: okay, yes, there was a quid pro quo, and yes it may have been arguably unethical. But did it reach the level of impeachment? Nah, and also, don't forget we're so close to an election, this issue should really be decided by the voters. But here's a censure.

Agreed, but without the censure part. They don't even have the guts to do that.

Dapper_Swindler posted:if the chud senate types are basicaly pulling that sad level desperation, i sense things are going very poorly behind the scenes. like their entire defence is a mix of "the president can do no wrong" while also saying "the president is very "special" and doesnt understand poo poo.". I'm really just surprised it's taken this long for the interests of the various factions in the Republican caucus to diverge in this poo poo show. "Yeah he crimed, what the gently caress are you going to do about it?" is going to be the position best utilized by the Cottons and Gaetzes to keep or improve their position. Meanwhile the positions of "It was just a accidental bit of light treason, an honest mistake.", "Look, I'm far too stupid to understand how this mountain of facts contradicts my wish that this all go away.", and "How about we just Censure him instead?" are going to start moving apart as well.

Yup. I figured they were going with that defense so they'd have a rhetorical fallback once the investigation actually went public. This is a really troubling development.
