Asnorban posted:"I was in this room when people stormed the capitol and a woman was shot. Can the democrats *please* put people ahead of politics and drop this impeachment." So infuriating. I know, right? Same. This started off really boring and I was surprised the GOP side wasn't going in more on how the whole thing was justified because rigged election and that Jordan dickhead got up there and lit a fuse. "Why are we making a direct attack on our government that took place in DC at the capitol building which incited by the president of the United States over accusations of nationwide fraudulent elections into a political issue? Also, myself (a GOP rep making this statement) am doing so with absolutely no eye towards my future political prospects in the blood red crazy district I represent where my constituents might legit attempt to murder me if I don't tow the MAGA line Silly Burrito posted:Is there a website with a refreshing timeline of what's going on? I'm in training and I have the CNN.com page open to the house proceedings but their page doesn't auto refresh with the latest news. It would be nice to have both or two small browser windows off to the side. In all seriousness, the USPOL thread BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Jan 13, 2021 |

my rep (Fletcher) used a proxy to vote, not sure what she's doing that would take her away from this but  also with these proxies I wish they would just have one person designated for the whole party and just be like "we all vote yes, let's go baby"

I missed it. What are they voting on? It must be some GOP bullshit because it's 100% along party lines right now. Ah...there it is. Republicans want to "change the rules of the debate" Probably to make it about Benghazi or BLM.

https://twitter.com/MEPFuller/status/1349384046934167553 seems unlikely that the metal detectors were the reason that whoever on the R side couldn't make it

I hope that the trend of state flags on masks for reps spearheads efforts to replace some of the garbage-rear end state flags (looking at you Michigan and North Carolina so far) e: also telling that so many of the R side have college logos instead on their masks lol

Do we really have to wait for The House Treason Caucus to refuse to go through a metal detector, because they have to virtue signal to their brain damaged base how important a gun is to them? If a kid refused to walk through a metal detector at a school we would make them wait outside and check their poo poo, and then our School liaison officer would deal with them This is absolutely pathetic

if any of the R's who said they'd vote for impeachment votes Nay on this procedural thing that is a real chickenshit move IMO, and it seems like some if not all of them have done so

I gotta say, CNN's coverage of this is really good. Not a hint of bothsidism and just outright disgust at the GOP and especially the seditionists.

Solaris 2.0 posted:I gotta say, CNN's coverage of this is really good. Not a hint of bothsidism and just outright disgust at the GOP and especially the seditionists. I think the way CNN's reporters were treated by the police over the Summer finally made them realize that their both-sidesism wasn't doing them any favors. I wish it had happened earlier (given that Trump has been calling the Press the "enemy of the people" for years) but better late than never.

Yeah as an incoming resident to Michigan, our flag is pretty lame. My home state, Indiana, has a much cooler flag than the state deserves.

C-SPAN host saw "bivouac" on his Word of the Day calendar apparently (he's said it like a dozen times throughout these votes)whydirt posted:Yeah as an incoming resident to Michigan, our flag is pretty lame.

SniHjen posted:It's really weird to see ALL the votes being down party lines. Even the procedural votes. Not really. It lets the GOP members who eventually vote for impeachment still save face by saying how annoyed they are at the Dem process even if they ultimately agree that Trump is bad. It's having their cake and eating it, etc.

Why the gently caress am I listening to this? It's boring, the outcome is a foregone conclusion and I trust goons to post the highlights anyway. Checking out I think.

Check back in around 3 (okay, 4 because it'll take forever to get all the votes in) for the actually meaningful part.

lemonadesweetheart posted:Is this vote just to begin debate? yup, so given that it's 2 hours of debate (and likely to go the full time I assume) then ~1 hour for the vote after that, it's probably at least 3 hours away from anything meaningful not sure if they have a lunch recess or anything in all this

What's sad is as much as we all may sometimes (or in the case of some, always) hate Democrats, and rightly so, we have two options going forward. A Democratic party that, no matter their many, many faults, is a believer in Democracy and is at least capable of doing some good things. A Republican party that wants to build a white-nationalist fascist dictatorship and is quickly building an SA-like militia arm to help them do this. It's scary as gently caress.
