Lol, what "business of the Senate" are they pretending to worry would get impeded by calling witnesses? Would it interrupt continuing NOT to pass legislation?

Tim Scott "thinking it will be 51-49" ...
He seemed pretty confident, so that means pretty much all chose treason > country... I wonder what will happen then. There HAVE to be mass protests
Out of curiousity, what would it look like if the Senate voted to convict tomorrow? Is it effective immediately? Would President Pence have to give the state of the union on Tuesday?
Obviously we have never removed a President before, what are the rules for that? Who determines the rules?
I guess?
We will never find out though, because that will not happen. The chance that they will convict tomorrow are literally 0%.
They will not vote against witnesses to just find 19 GOP senators to convict then

Fuck off Meadows...
It's not Schiff questioning the guilt, but your party's morale.
I know i should be annoyed but I can't help but laugh when Republican's try the "But Hillary/Steele" BS, the House reps are having none of it.
Was watching the news and just happened to get another dose of "Don't forget Rand Paul is a piece of shit"
Storming out like a petulant child because the chief justice won't break federal law.

Dershowitz professor "source" disagrees with Dershowitz using him as a source, because he doesn't support his arguments.
#ArrestRandPaul trends on Twitter after he walks out over impeachment question
When Roberts blocked his question, Paul walked out of the Senate and read it aloud to reporters behind a podium before tweeting it out. Paul has named the alleged whistleblower before and has repeatedly urged that the tipster be outed publicly.
"Anybody who doesn’t speak out against Rand Paul outing the #Whistleblower in an interview today, may as well have done it themselves. Sometimes it’s what you fail to say that speaks louder than anything you’ve ever shouted from the rooftops. #ArrestRandPaul," one Twitter user wrote.
Another retweeted Paul's tweet explaining his question and wrote, "he does not know the identity of the whistleblower but is saying the name of a man he assumes to be, putting that man's life at risk with no concrete evidence! #ArrestRandPaul if ANYTHING happens to that man!"
A third tweeted, "When you have a criminal POTUS who you believe is above the law, you're obviously more inclined to think *you're* above the law. The actions of Rand Paul prove this. The GOP no longer has a moral compass as to what is right and wrong. #ArrestRandPaul and hold him accountable." - - - Updated - - - This is interesting;
"At a time when large majorities of Americans have lost faith in government, does the fact that the chief justice is presiding over an impeachment trial in which Republican senators have thus far refused to allow witnesses or evidence contribute to the loss of legitimacy of the chief justice, the supreme court, and the constitution?"
~~Question asked by Senator Warren, as read aloud by Roberts.
Just waiting on the Trumo defense force to stop fellating him to come to Rand's rescue.

So I can't wait for a Democrat to tak office the arrest every GOP politician and SCOTUS appointee and claim they believe it's in the best interest if the nation if Trumo gets acquitted. I mean the arrested members and GOP supporters would have no ground to stand on since the stood by and supported this expansion of presidential powers.
Considering how rabid Trump supporters are, even threatening to kill people if Trump is impeached and removed, yeah, it is to protect him or her.

You think it is that guy that some random publication claimed it was? It might not even be him. What if it isn't him? And Trump supporters have been threatening his life for NOTHING?
So, Murkowski is a yes on witnesses
Does that mean Alexander will be a no later?

So...Trump doesn't seem to care much for who shares an opinion he likes, including if that person happens to be a conspiracy theorist loving "sex coach".

The National Review.
Again, this is on the National Review.

Ukraine’s former national security council chairman said that he left the Volodymyr Zelensky administration after becoming “uncomfortable” with American efforts to coerce the opening of politically advantageous investigations.
Oleksandr Danylyuk, speaking with The Daily Beast in his first on-the-record interview since President Trump’s impeachment began, directly contradicted December comments made by Andriy Yermak, a top Zelensky aide, who said “we never had that feeling” that a holdup in U.S. military aide was tied to the requested investigations.
Danyluk said the request, which was detailed during the House’s impeachment inquiry by ambassador to the E.U. Gordon Sondland, “rattled” Zelensky’s team which had worked through a draft for Ukrainian-American cooperation that “at its core” prioritized national security.
“It was a panic,” the Ukrainian said. “. . . This roadmap should have been the substance.”
Holy hell in a hand basket.
They are now just said that if Bolton came and testified as a witness, even if his testimony and it was as favorable for the articles as possible, they still wouldn't be bad enough to warrant impeachment....
Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add
"mmo-champion.com##li.postbitignored"
to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.
