Just heard a US Senator saying that there's no need to hear from witnesses because they've heard some people say one thing and some people say another thing so everyone's just going to have to decide for themselves.

I didn't recognise him and it was in a walk and talk that included Marsha Blackburn so I assume Senator.

But he was one of those generic Senator (R)s that look like a ham on wonderbread sandwich with grey hair and an expression of mild condescension.

I’m paraphrasing another poster but this is exactly why he went bankrupt 4-6 times in the 90s. The real estate development industry in nyc is a small pool of people who all work together to share the risk and rewards of building skyscrapers and other multi million dollar projects. Trump got in through his father’s connections, then proceeded to backstab and screw over everyone he could in order to ‘win’ real estate. This worked for a few years, but eventually no one wanted to work with him because he couldn’t think more than one selfish move ahead.

Here once again we saw trump burning all his capital to ram a rapist through the confirmation process, and shockingly no one wants to stick their neck out for the next doomed project where he will predictably screw over everyone he can if it means furthering his selfish goals.

It’s really just a matter of time until enough GOPers realize they can protect themselves by torching trump first. I can’t wait to see it, his betrayal meltdown before destroying the earth with nukes will be the stuff of legend.

On that note I think YouTube or somebody took down the "Trump loses reelection and refuses to leave" Emergency Broadcast System scenario, because I couldn't find it a couple weeks ago.

So they just asked the WH lawyers 'why should we subpoena Bolton when the house didn't because it'd take to long' - they've got Justice Roberts right there, can't he force him to do it immediately.

Defense talking out of both sides of their mouth.


From one side of the mouth. There’s no need to call witnesses, this isn’t a criminal trial.

From the other side. It is prosecutorial misconduct to bring up bribery, extortion and so on without it being part of the charging indictments.

Schiff is pretty great. I wonder if he has any ambitions beyond being a representative. If so, this showing is great to put on his resume.

Trump's lawyers, on the other hand, are terrible and they're lying. Trump was invited to participate in the house proceedings. He just declined.


Edit: Thankfully, Senator Masto followed up on this.

He sticks around the House he is a a shoo-in for the Leadership when Pelosi steps down. He could totally take Feinstein's seat, who will likely not run again. Governor is likely a step down for him, although if he were looking to run for President at some point it would be a good big of experience. He could also be Attorney General as well, which would be a slap in the dick to the GOP.
