It's been pretty interesting to see the lady's hand placement while calling names for votes. Automatically to No for the GOP and Automatically to Yes for the Dems.

I can see Romney, Murkowski, and maybe Sasse voting to convict. But that's all. I would be surprised if any of the other ayes today actually voted against Trump at the end.

Like the national republicans give a gently caress. They are on the course to making voting for a democrat illegal. We will never have a close election in this country again. The Proto Nazi GOP will continue to legislate away our freedom to vote. Time to make the a pro 2nd amendment movement leftist agenda again. Because otherwise we are hosed. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Why not Toomey? I haven't been paying attention to him too much, but since he voted yes today and is retiring, it seems like he could be a likely vote?

They couldn't even get 60 votes in favour of the procedure being constitutional? Christ, the GOP really is corrupt to the core.

At this point we bury the GOP in a trial and every major piece of evidence and hope either that 10 of the spineless fucks grow a conscience or we can use the scandal to crush them in 2022 and the FBI/ Administration charge Trump criminally immediately afterward anyway

Like being completely partisan is only a downside if you don't like what the party does.

Kalit posted:Why not Toomey? I haven't been paying attention to him too much, but since he voted yes today and is retiring, it seems like he could be a likely vote? PA's pretty evenly split politically, and even though he's retiring I don't think he'll want to risk the seat at the end of the day. I also think it's the same reason Cassidy voted yes, that he recognizes that the Senate has jurisdiction (and is putting aside partisan politics for the moment) and that affirming today's vote is important for future events. That doesn't mean he's going to vote to convict Trump. EDIT: MSNBC just had video of Cassidy explaining why he voted in favor. He basically said the House did a better job in presenting their case. https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1359270889490059265 Chuck Bartowski fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Feb 9, 2021 |

The problem is that there is no "heart of the defense teams argument." It's all just blather.

They really needed to call Trump as a witness. There's zero chance that it wouldn't blow up in his face. Still no conviction, of course, but it would be huge to the public.

Maybe trump will get so mad at the defense being given that he’ll take over, like with those covid press briefings.

Most everyone here seems to agree that Trump won't be removed/convicted because ROFL GOP. It's just that, maybe, just maybe, Trump manages to gently caress up *so bad* through his lawyers and/or his own words that the improbable happens: 16 GOP Senators vote to remove. One can dream.

I am genuinely drawing a blank. Edit: We definitely know it's not being responsible for violence. It's been quoted a million times, but the whole "I could shoot someone in the middle of the street and I'd only become more popular" is no exaggeration. If anything, it was a prophecy.

its because trump wants a big slobby blow job defence with speechs at the end of every 80s/90s/sandler movie, while the smarter ones just want enough "cover" to go "uh sure he MIGHT have done it but uh too late gently caress you" type poo poo. ArmyGroup303 posted:Most everyone here seems to agree that Trump won't be removed/convicted because ROFL GOP. my impression is it will be way closer than anyone expects. like 11 GOP ghouls vote to convict or some poo poo. depends on a bunch of poo poo and mostly on if trump fucks up enough. Antifa Turkeesian posted:Maybe trump will get so mad at the defense being given that he’ll take over, like with those covid press briefings. he might. i am hoping he forces his lawyers to go with his defense plans(some of them seem to be) and he just goes full "biden cheated" mode.
