I'm going to be interested to see whether there are any opportunities during the Q&A phase to make John Roberts rule on whether anything is relevant to the trial. Is that something where, say, Schiff could get a pants-on-head question about  OBAMAAA and ask Roberts to rule on whether it's germane, or is his whole role here being a text-to-speech machine for reading questions?

Yeah Trump would get slammed on this nonstop which would cause him to lash out constantly and both sides of the GOP Senate will get bombs nonstop. You want to know how Democrats pick up 5-10 seats in the Senate? This is how.

I think the big win at the moment is that there's more and more people looking at what is going to happen to them after November 2020 and are getting nervous. The people involved in presidential crimes in particular seem to be concerned that they're going be in the G. Gordon Liddy position of going to jail while the guy in charge walks free and are doing what they can to not be the one thrown under the bus. The consequences won't be coming in the next few weeks, but it's setting up big consequences down the road. In more current events, I'm looking forward to almost 50% of the questions being slams on the Trump team and asking them to explain the contractions and lies in their statement.

In spite of all the distortions and outright lies, Despite the complete coverup, despite the fact they are going against what the country wants, they will probably expand their majority in the senate and trump will probably be reelected. I also am pretty sure Trump is going to be gloating in the most infuriating way at the SOTU. He will alternate between complaining about how he has been treated and how awesome his victory is and how it is total absolute exoneration. He will probably do that thing where he replaces himself with the country. For example "This hoax has been so damaging to the country." Noone will learn any lessons other than us. We will learn to never hope for anything in politics.

Djarum posted:I am trying to think of who the Republicans can nominate that would be able to get through. They don't have much in the moderate camp anymore, especially that could survive the House. If McCain were alive I could see him. I assume they would need to nominate someone who wouldn't want to run beyond that as well since I would think they would want to get someone more to the right to run. Granted they don't have much there either. Romney or Kasich would probably be able to swing enough blue dogs in the house to get through.

Turns out, he's a pedophile, and Epstein and Trump have a ton of dirt on him because of his rape crimes, so he'll do anything they (now he) says to avoid their turning on him. Turns out he was a pedophile all along, and that's why he hasn't been able to keep himself from constantly ranting at law students about the age of consent and how men can totally accidentally trip into raping women and thus not be legally culpable for said rapes.

Predicting anything either way at this point is drat near idiotic. Would love to have been a witness in the likely shouty closed-door Republican meeting though. Hope it ALL leaks eventually.

The Republicans have good poker faces and are smug idiots but they have been getting hammered left right and center since this Senate trial started. I get that Trump winning at all has utterly killed some people's hope but at this point I have to wonder if despair is just becoming more comfortable than hoping again for some people. Imagine seeing McConnell utterly lose control of his caucus like this and evidence constantly pouring out that makes Trump look worse and going "Yeah no they have iron-fisted control here no way we're going to win"

It's not about removing Trump, because Democrats know the Republicans are spineless cowards who gladly made Trump the anchor around their collective necks. It's about making said spineless cowards look as horrible as possible, forcing them to remove the masks, and energizing as many Democrats and Independants as they loving can to go to the polls in November come hell or high water to vote these fuckers out of office, and they have been doing an amazing job at all three of these things.
