You're correct, I was just responding to the "each and every one" part of it, but nobody in purple or blue states wants to make the vote - Cory Gardner and Susan Collins are likely terrified of it.

Collins can rest easy because she's getting booted the next time she's up, anyway.

This might be something a lot of you would hate, but....

I think the impeachment should have its own thread if not it's own subforum.

if i had to bet, i would bet that he instead immediately moves it to a vote and doesn't let the senate debate the impeachment at all, rather than just refusing to do anything

however, there is one constitutional quirk that i have not seen discussed anywhere (doesn't mean it hasn't, I just have not seen it): under the constitution, during an impeachment trial, mitch may not be in charge


now, that means that Justice Roberts replaces Pence as presiding officer of the Senate (rather than Mitch, who is not an officer identified by the Constitution) but i wonder to what extent that means that Justice Roberts is now in charge of how the trial happens

Mitch: we want to adjourn for a week!

House: we don't want to adjourn!

Mitch: oh no we are now in disagreement as to when to adjourn, let me check my pocket constitution to see who can resolve this...oh look at this!

Trump: hay why don't you guys just adjourn until the year 2030

If Trump suddenly resigns and then books it out of the country I wouldn’t be half surprised. He stopped at Trump Tower to grab some briefcases of cash, a fake mustache/eyeglass combo, and new IDs so that his name is Tonald Drump.

Yes I'm sure he will do a thing that his personality disorders won't even allow him to conceive of

"What does this accomplish if the Senate won't convict?" is the best question the pool can come up with?

It's a planted question because it absolutely matters that Dems come out saying "we have to shine the light on crimes even if the senate won't convict"

It's just so hard to spin 'the president used 550 million dollars of foreign aid as a bribe for sabotaging his opponent. He and his lawyer have already admitted to it and apparently there are tapes and transcripts.'

Not hard to spin. Just don't say any of that and talk about how Biden is corrupt. Their viewers don't have other sources of information.

Today every single american work place, barbershop, bar, etc. will probably talk about the impeachment getting started. I feel like that requires something better than just burying their heads in the sand as a messaging strategy

I dunno, I feel like somewhere along the last six months or year I've completely lost any presumption of neutrality with Maggie since even her articles saying the Trump admin lied or did something wrong have a very odd glass half full feel to them.

Almost feels like she made her bones as a reporter for some rag like the NY Post and then her access to Trump became important enough for her to get paid more to do the same poo poo.

This makes it all the more obvious how bad Trump would have been if a real crisis hit. He just loving cracks under pressure.

It's not even pressure. He just cracks and spills and oozes and you don't even have to do anything to him.

He has spent his whole life loving himself over. It would be sad if it were literally anyone else.

...Zelensky couldn't have been dumb enough to think that's actually how the transcript release would go, right? That's some weak damage control.

He probably didn't expect presidential conversations to ever need to be published because he thought he was talking to a human instead of a sentient colostomy bag.

They're gonna have to fashion entire year-long courses in university about this four-year period. Entire bookshelves will be written by Robert Caro. The HBO miniseries will run for 20 seasons.
