Dear Nazi is so lucky his worst case scenario is conviction and being unable to run for federal office again. Usually you get put in front of a firing squad for a failed coup.

[Reck]

Even the most obtuse republican senator has to be thinking hard. It'll be a no but at least think about it. Otherwise, you're just not human.

Regardless, Trump has no political future so I'm not worried about him running again. But there has to be justice.

[baseline bum]

So Trump's brownshirts cost a cop his eye and cost another cop some of his fingers. Fucking disgusting people and disgusting seeing Republiqans enabling them.

House Democrat impeachment managers trying to tie former President Donald Trump to an insurrection before Jan. 6 has grown the "not guilty vote," and the trial "will be over by Sunday," according to Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.

"This thing is collapsing before their eyes and the not guilty vote is growing," Graham told Fox News' "Hannity" on Wednesday night. "So, it will be over by Sunday, I hope, for the good of the country."

Graham rebuked the House Democrat impeachment managers for trying twist the alleged "incitement of insurrection" from President Donald Trump's "peacefully and patriotically protest" speech Jan. 6 to suggest he was in on it with insurrectionist plans before the "Stop the Steal" rally.

"Let me tell your viewers the not guilty vote is growing after today," Graham told host Sean Hannity. "I think most Republicans found the presentation by the House managers offensive and absurd.

"We all know what happened in the Capitol was terrible. I hope everybody involved that broke in the Capitol goes to jail. But I don't remember any of the House managers saying a damn thing when they were trying to break in my house and going after Susan Collins and spitting on all of us.

"If this is a problem for a politician to give the speech that President Trump did, well, then Kamala Harris has a real problem because she actively engaged in bailing out rioters. Here is what I suggest: If you are a politician trying to raise bail for people accused of rioting, you are inciting more riots – something that nobody talked about – that is important. If there is preplanning, there is no incitement."

Graham finished with advice for Trump's defense lawyers.

"Here is what I would do: I would take all of your videos – literally, you have got the Democrat politicians being silent or encouraging acts of violence; you have a sitting vice president as a U.S. Senator telling people they are not going to stop, they shouldn't stop, and trying to bail them out.

I am glad I wasn't the only one thinking this.

[RandomGuy]

damn, i missed the hoopla. what exactly was Mike Lee taking issue with?

The house managers used reports of Trump calling Lee as evidence, Lee was upset because he claimed that the reports were inaccurate. "I am a witness".

an article from the journalist:


Moments after the proceedings in the Senate were halted by the Capitol Police, my phone rang. The caller ID indicated that the call was coming from the White House. I thought it was Robert O’Brien, the president’s national security advisor, calling to update me on a question I had asked him about a security threat from Iran.
To my great surprise, it was not Robert O’Brien, but President Trump on the other end of the line. My heart started to beat a little faster, as I was convinced he could only be calling to argue with me about my reading of the Twelfth Amendment and Article II, Section 1.
There was a lot of noise and commotion in the room, but I thought I heard him say “How’s it going, Tommy?”
I said, “Mr. President, this is Mike Lee.”
“No,” he insisted, “I dialed Tommy’s number.”
“Mr. President, are you calling for Tommy Tuberville (my new colleague from Alabama)?”
“Yes.”
Anxious to hand the phone to someone else (and not have to argue with the president about matters at hand), I asked if he’d like me to find Senator Tuberville.
He said, “Yeah sure, that’d be great.”
I went and found Senator Tuberville, handed him my phone, and explained that the president would like to speak to him. I stood nearby for the next five or ten minutes as they spoke, not wanting to lose my phone in the middle of a crisis.
Then the Capitol Police became very nervous and ordered us to evacuate the chamber immediately. As they were forcing everyone out of the chamber, I awkwardly found myself interrupting the same telephone conversation I had just facilitated.
“Excuse me, Tommy, we have to evacuate. Can I have my phone?”
Senator Tuberville promptly ended the call and returned my phone to its rightful owner.

he showed that former President Donald Trump's encouragement of violence started long before his speech before the January 6 "Stop the Steal" rally.

Raskin linked the Trump-loving rioters who stormed the United States Capitol building to members of armed militias who stormed the Michigan State Capitol last April to protest against the state's pandemic restrictions.

Raskin linked the Trump-loving rioters who stormed the United States Capitol building to members of armed militias who stormed the Michigan State Capitol last April to protest against the state's pandemic restrictions.

Trump poured more gasoline on the fire.

"The day after the mob attack in Lansing, Trump told Gov. Whitmer to negotiate with the extremists, tweeting that the governor should just 'give a little' to the violent men who had stormed the capital,"

Trump described the armed demonstrators as "very good people" and said Whitmer should work with them so they would be less "angry."

some of these "very good people" would be arrested in a plot to kidnap and possibly execute Whitmer.

"Jim Jones was a religious cult leader, Donald Trump is a political cult leader,"

We have got to be wary of anyone who can have such control over people that they lose their ability to think independently."

"Donald Trump had a code for talking to these groups," Speier said.

"'There's good people on both sides,'

'We love you,'

'You're special.'

He recognized that they were valuable to him, and

they recognized that he could amplify their recruiting.

The Damnable Senators of the Republican Party

With a few notable exceptions, these lawmakers have forfeited any claim to decency or patriotism during Trump's impeachment trial.

Some Republican senators appeared moved by the presentation. Others were not.

“Well, you know, I mean, you have a summer where people all over the country were doing similar kinds of things,” Missouri Senator Roy Blunt said after the presentation, apparently referring to the George Floyd protests and riots last year.

“I don’t know what the other side will show from Seattle and Portland and other places.”

Looting a Target is hardly the equivalent of trawling the Capitol building for lawmakers to murder,

unless you’re looking to explicitly shirk your constitutional duty in a way that will play well on Fox News.

If anything, it almost reads as

a defense of the attack: The “other side” got to burn things down, so why couldn’t our guys?

Ted Cruz, who tried to overturn the election results on Trump’s behalf, made the incredulous claim (https://twitter.com/JakeLahut/status/1359637681182019585) that the connection between Trump and the riot was “strikingly absent.”

Rick Scott told reporters (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/live-blog/trump-impeachment-live-updates-democrats-deliver-arguments-senate-trial-n1256974/ncrd1257375?cid=sm_npd_ms_tw_ma#liveBlogHeader) after the presentation that it was “vindictive” and a “complete waste of time.”

Lindsey Graham, ... ridiculed (https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1359652908887724032) the House managers for suggesting “somehow that Trump is a secret member of the Proud Boys.”

The Senators are judge/jurors.

At least Batman Cruz, his Robin Lee (team repeating as govt filibuster shutdown pals) were conferring with the Trash's defense team, mocking the USA, mocking the Senate, and

exposing the lawless, fascist Repugs, operating by that Great American dictum: "No Law is Above Repug Politics"

[boutons_deux]

This powerful line from a Democrat's speech in Trump's trial

actually made Republicans take notice

"I'm not afraid of Donald Trump running again in four years," Lieu said.

"I'm afraid he'll run again and lose because he can do this again."

He also said Trump "will undoubtedly cause future harm if allowed."

If Repugs leave Trash around as future pretender, Trash will retain his 74M voters and preempt other wannabes, assuring that Trash will be the Repug nominee in 2024.

Karrin is referring to Roberts not being there but ignoring how the constitution works.

The reason the Chief SCOTUS justice presides over an impeachment of the sitting president is because the VP is president of the senate and can’t preside over a hearing that could make the VP president. The impeachment trial of a former president (or any other official in federal office) doesn’t require SCOTUS since the sitting VP doesn’t have a vested interest in the outcome.

Its an antiquated rule since the senate president pro tem (not the VP) is usually the one presiding over the senate, but Karrin’s premise that any impeachment trial without the Chief Justice presiding is a “fake trial” is his usual retarded bullshit.

Darrin only knows what his masters tell him to believe.

I haven't seen him think for himself in almost a decades worth of discussions. At the beginning of the pandemic there was some small glimmer of not being captured by conservative propaganda, but that vanished as soon as Trump politicized beliefs about the virus, and the right-wing media machine kicked into gear manufacturing his opinion.

If the impeachment managers aren’t going to treat calling witnesses seriously then they should just end the trial now.

The solution here is really simple, allow each side to take X amount of depositions for Y amount of hours that must be completed in the next month, and allow for specific documents and records to be subpoenaed.

The threats Trump’s lawyers are making to call Pelosi and Bowser are retarded bluffs the Democrats should let them follow through on. You don’t call witnesses who think your client is guilty.

Agree that it's pointless but not because it's hearsay. My understanding is that an impeachment trial does not follow the normal rules of evidence of judicial courts. So it doesn't matter if it's hearsay. To me, it's pointless because her testimony is unlikely to change the minds of Republicans the way McCarthy testifying himself might.

look how stupid the standard r is. They love the idea of calling pelosi and Schumer because they are sure they are guilty, and this will prove it.

Of course the lawyers know it’s all a lie. But the posturing has never been for truth and fact, it’s always been about pleasing Trump.

All of these people need to have Trump stuck to them like that chicks hair. They will win primaries, they will also scare people into participating.

the last election all those r’s that voted against trump, but for shit cornyn, still wanted to believe they are not the same piece of shit ducks is. But the more the r’s kiss that ring, there will be no longer any way to deny it. It’s at that point, you might see some change. But not until then.

I’d rather not give Cruz the “it’s hearsay!” Talking point, i know they don’t need to follow the rules of evidence.

McCarthy testifying isn’t going to stop them from using a bullshit jurisdiction copout either, but it makes them look even worse for acquitting.

The good part of this dragging out is that I think it makes life absolutely miserable for GOP senators. They miss the days of McConnell as maj leader where the senate was in session on average 2 days a week. It could push Grassley and Thune to retire if they’re worried about how miserable another 6 years look.

You’re right either way though, you need a conviction. Interesting part that I don’t know though, could you use a normal criminal conviction to bring a 14(3) disqualification to a vote? That could be the path to go down, and I think they’d get 60 votes needed for that. They already have 57.

Trump couldn't be tried a few weeks because he was still the president; now he can't be impeached because he is no longer in office.

[ElNono]

he basically recapitulated the House managers case, agreeing with it, but denying the Senate has jurisdiction.

so yeah, he wants to have it both ways, despite losing a vote when that decision was made.

[ElNono]

What a piece of shit.

He's punting to the DOJ and the states to handle Trump.

McConnell always finding new ways to be a sleazebag ball of shit

Fortunately he's old as fuck and will be dead soon.

[Winehole23]

This was completely expected after the early vote Paul forced...

What dems need to do next is to disqualify him from ever holding office again on Art 14(3) grounds, a simple majority vote. Then watch the GOP shit all over the Constitution once they're Congressional majority again.How would this be done? Has it ever been done?

[spurraider21]

but senate already held a separate vote about the constitutionality and jurisdiction, so that issue should have been moot when voting to convict. thats ridiculous

[hater]

Fortunately he's old as fuck and will be dead soon.

So will Biden and Pelosi

Thank God

[Winehole23]

"We can't convict the former president, but remember, Trump is still criminally and civilly liable for what he did."

[DMC]

Is “both sides are bad” the new mechanism you’re using to defend Trump?

Are you really so naïve as to believe anyone is going to fall for the moral high ground angle? :lol

Let me guess, the right is evil, the left is just playfully dumb with good hearts.

[DMX7]

Mitch McConnell twisted himself into a pretzel to justify his "no" vote.

[Will Hunting]

Are you really so naïve as to believe anyone is going to fall for the moral high ground angle? :lol

I guess the answer to my question is yes.

Sorry your boy lost and your insurrection failed.

[DMC]

How do you not get a conviction? :lol

I would say they should have fought for it but that could incite an insurrection.

[DMC]

I guess the answer to my question is yes.

Sorry your boy lost and your insurrection failed.

If I played along with your narrative, I'd say Trump won twice and is still going to be higher on the news agenda than the sitting POTUS :lol

[RandomGuy]

Fortunately he's old as fuck and will be dead soon.

His seat will open up. No one will miss him.

How do any of those things have to do with getting a conviction?

Everyone knows why he was acquitted. Most Republican Senators are either ignorant, are intentionally politically dishonest, or are spineless cowards. Or all of the above. The failure to get a conviction is directly tied to those Republican Senators. Having the presidency, the House, the polls, the media, even the Senate has nothing to do with it. Having a 50+1 Senate when you need 67 votes means nothing.

Lol being more newsworthy, not even more popular just more newsworthy, as Trump’s gold medal after losing the election.

More in the news. Gets an impeachment acquittal. Yay! He’s so full of win right now.
