you know he's not actually impeached, right?
Top Mueller Lieutenant:
It’s Really Telling That
Trump Didn’t Deny Quid Pro Quo in Letter to Pelosi
the language– at least in one aspect – is carefully crafted so that
Trump never denies that he attempted a quid pro quo deal for his personal and political benefit.
The reason, according to Weissmann, is that
doing so would have been a federal crime.
“I thought the wording of this [letter] was really important,” Weissmann said.
the President, in his six-page letter, never said something that he has repeatedly said in other contexts, which is that there was ‘no quid pro quo.
it is a federal crime to submit a written do ent knowingly that contains a false statement to Congress.”

Good job comrade.
Parroting the righty talking points huharticles of impeachment so solid she’s scared to send to the senate
New right wing media talking point.
Liberals?
Aren't you for Bernie?
Bernie is not a liberal/Democrat. He's an independent running as a Democrat. But you KNOW he's not part of the club.
He shouldn't try to coattail the Democrats then.
So he's not a liberal?
How would you describe his policy proposals?
I agree. He should run as an independent.
His policy proposal are progressive like that of FDR's. The establishment Democrats are neoliberal old-schooled Reagan Republicans on economic and foreign policy.
FDR was a liberal.
Running as an independent would be a waste of time. He needs the money and infrastructure of the democrat party. Not sure he could even get on all the ballots as an indy.
How Chief Justice Roberts could ruin Mitch McConnell’s plan for a sham impeachment trial
the Senate’s own Rules of Procedure and Practice specifies it is the “presiding officer” who “shall direct all forms of the proceedings.”
The officer may “rule on all questions of evidence including, but not limited to, questions of relevancy, materiality, and redundancy of evidence.”
That means it should be Roberts, not McConnell, who decides.
Slate says the rules
explicitly grant “any member of the Senate” the right to object to Roberts’ evidentiary decisions.
If the chief justice stands firm in his opinion,
a senator may demand “a vote of the Members of the Senate” on “any such question” with a simple majority sufficient to overturn a ruling.
Strict Senate Rules
Still, the Senate majority’s authority is strictly constrained by the very rules it created.
While it can reverse particular evidentiary rulings, it can’t bar a witness.
Instead, it is up to the lawyers representing the House and the president to make these critical decisions.
There is a proviso that “witnesses shall be examined by one person on behalf of the party producing them, and then cross-examined by one person on the other side.”
According to Senate rules,
“the doors of the Senate shall be kept open” so that the nation can come to its own decision.
When all the evidence is in, senators can retire to engage in jury-style deliberations behind closed doors.
lawyers say the Senate can waive its own rules by unanimous consent, which happened with former President Bill Clinton.
Overruling the Senate
Current rules say the “Chief Justice shall be administered the oath ‘to do impartial justice’ and shall preside over the Senate during … the trial of the person impeached.”
Once Roberts replaces Vice President Mike Pence as the Senate’s presiding officer,
McConnell’s attempt to change the rules would generate a cons utional crisis,
Roberts could refuse to allow the Senate to vote on proposed rule changes that were inconsistent with Roberts’ pledge “to do impartial justice.”
When Roberts takes the gavel, immediately after the bill of impeachment passes to the Senate,
will he resist any effort to transform the rules’ demand for an impartial trial into a partisan power play?
Most observers see Roberts as a serious judge, dedicated to sustaining the Supreme Court’s central position in our system of checks and balances.

My guess is Moscow McConnell will orchestrate a 3rd world kangaroo trial, a show trial for acquittal.
And Catholic SCOTUS Roberts will make say pro forma bull with no real intent of doing his job

People need to start running red lights claiming red is actually green.
This would make for a world in which the power of the Trumpy individual could feel the power of comedy.

The useful idiots cheering for Trump's impeachment are helping him get reelected

He forced the Democrats to impeach him when he made that call.
Else he becomes king without another restraint. He wants to be a dictator. You want him to be a dictator.
Democrats had to do this despite what you think it brings for the popularity of the orange god.
