It's a great idea. The republicans' whole megawhine is about the whole thing is unfair. If Pelosi is STARTING OFF with "we'll do this when you're ready to do it fairly", that makes a public record of their good faith.

So basically now the story is he is impeached and everyone will talk about this and want to understand from Mitch how he's going to conduct the trial so they can move forward? Pressure on Mitch to respond? Versus moving it over right away and getting an acquittal?

I think there are 4+ R Senators that will back witnesses and documents in the trial. possibly more. for good and ill reasons. i honestly think mitch doesn't have as much control as he wants to believe. most of the senate has been quiet as gently caress about this, unlike the chuds of the house.

cavallingus posted:oh good more "nothing matters" bullshit Not sure if your post is irony, but we can convince chud voters that the orange poo poo smear is poo poo, and we can convince more democratic leaning voters that our way is the good way, and we can also convince chud voters that the orange poo poo smear is toast and that they can stay home in 2020. All ways are possible.

Maybe I should send him an angry letter. I sure do love voting alongside just enough of a slice of the Central Valley to guarantee my representative is a chud. So much better than when I was in Mississippi and Texas in red districts.
