Murkowski can go Murkowsfuck herself.
U.S. nationals, in many cases. Not Iranian nationals. In case you didn't know, your nationality is where you hold citizenship, not where you were born.
One of the fundamental problems in this country with the conservative right is the sentiment that becoming a U.S. citizen isn't "good enough," and that you're somehow still not American enough. I'm surprised, if you are a brown minority in this country, that you haven't felt this idea that you somehow have to prove your American-ness beyond your citizenship.
It's being reported that there's loud cheering coming from the Senate Republicans behind closed doors. Fucking traitors.
I'm sure she's telling herself it's to take any pressure off Roberts, but it was clear when she and Alexander joined in on that question yesterday to the WH counsel if they called Bolton, and his testimony totally affirmed the Democrats' case, would it be an impeachable offense, and they answered, duh, no, that's why you directed it to us.
"In today’s America, conservatives who actually want to conserve are as rare as liberals who actually want to liberate. The once-significant language of an earlier era has had the meaning sucked right out of it, the better to serve as camouflage for a kleptocratic feeding frenzy in which both establishment parties participate with equal abandon" (Taking a break from the criminal, incompetent liars at the NSA, to bring you the above political observation, from The Archdruid Report.)
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
If not for Murkowski heartily embracing the ratfuck, the revelation that Cippolone himself is a fact witness, and has willfully misrepresented facts multiple times, may have changed things. In any other trial, this would have caused an immediate mistrial. What a shitshow.
Rubio: "Just because actions meet a standard of impeachment does not mean it is in the best interest of the country to remove a President from office."
Well there you go, a summary of Sen. Rubio believes of the trial.
So know it is "best interest" which of course mean if the President is on your team. Incredible that these Senators actually make this statement. While he is safe for I think 4 more years, just crushing that he is a Senator from Florida.
Democrats are the best! I will never ever question a Democrat again. I LOVE the Democrats!
As a reminder, they had the exact same "overwhelming evidence" and "irrefutably proven facts" that the House Democrats had all voted to Impeach him on.
To say that impeachment failed in the senate because there weren't the "witnesses or evidence" to prove it is to say that the House Democrats all voted to impeach for a partisan political agenda without the witnesses or evidence to back up their vote
BASIC CAMPFIRE for WARCHIEF UK Prime Minister!
actually....yeah.
