Well? What do you guys think? Where are we? Do we have enough votes to shut down this charade? Mittens and Collins are voting to have witnesses. Lamar Alexander is a “no”. Gosh, we learned last night Lamar Alexander and Mitch McConnell have been friends since they both served Senators as interns together in the 60s. Queen Lisa Murkowski has not indicated how she will vote as yet. Closing arguments are today. Then, a vote for acquittal which could come as early as today or tomorrow. Let’s see what happens.
Proud of our team:
It’s been a privilege “to serve” with you all. Thank you for your contributions.
It’s been quite an experience.
The photo at the top is of Democrat House leaders announcing their two articles of impeachment. High marks to President Trump for his efforts to stay on the path of integrity, of doing what is right and just and fair.
Honestly, what do you think motivates people like No-Name? Even at a advanced age, facing their mortality, still they grasp and grasp. Is it insanity or possession? I am truly dumbfounded.
….PRIDE. Knowing they are guilty of many atrocities, their attempts to conceal their guilt drive them to deeper and deeper depths of depravity. They willingly become a useful tool to the enemy of the souls of man (and woman). There is an old hymn that says…”nothing but the blood of Jesus…..”
saw this first thing this morning…Alexander thinks POTUS did something wrong…good thing he’s retiring.
FTA
WASHINGTON – Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., announced Thursday night he will vote against calling witnesses to the Senate impeachment trial of President Trump, likely ending the last real suspense of the trial and opening the door for a speedy conclusion Friday or Saturday.
“There is no need for more evidence to prove that the president asked Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter,” Alexander said late Thursday in a statement, after another day-long session in the Senate, the ninth day of the trial overall.
Alexander said the charges against the president – that he inappropriately pressured Ukraine to investigate the Bidens – had been “proved” by the House managers, and that the president had acted improperly.
“It was inappropriate for the president to ask a foreign leader to investigate his political opponent and to withhold United States aid to encourage that investigation,” Alexander said, adding that the president’s actions were the kind that “undermines the principle of equal justice under the law.”
“But,” he added, “the Constitution does not give the Senate the power to remove the president from office and ban him from this year’s ballot simply for actions that are inappropriate.”

Can’t believe some of these people are Republicans.
I can’t believe he found the “evidence” compelling…second and third person impressions, suppositions and assumptions…smh
can’t believe some of these people speak for the electorate anywhere. The statement above is irrational.
Good find, Miss Pat!
Alexander has been in DC a long time – he’s a swamp dweller and is saturated in it like a Baba au Rhum.
Only Jeff Sessions, according to Schweizer, managed to stay both strong and clean.
hope to welcome Sessions to the Senate
Morning Pat. I think I heard Sessions is leading in the polls currently 2 to 1. I hope I heard that, LOL, and I hope it’s true, and I hope it holds and he gets back in.
Morning Sylvia…still feeling okay, i hope?
that’s excellent news about Sessions! I hope he does get back in!!
I’m doing good, thanks. Yes, Sessions can do a lot of good back in the Senate IMO!
I’m happy to say, SA, you heard correctly! The next Senator from Alabama, the great Jeff Sessions!
👍👍👍👍😊❤
When President Trump endorses him, there’s gonna be a lot of people eating crow.
I’m considering opening a restaurant.
https://www.cooks.com/recipe/eu9p3639/crow-casserole.html
Serve it raw, feathers and all.
Crow Restaurant…ooh, I’d love to see the spice rack in that place.
Lol!
He’s always been a disgusting Rino. Just glad he’s voting the right way on this one. Have never liked him at all.
glad he’s retiring!
I mean Alexander, in case it isn’t obvious.
This is all about President Trump shutting down the flow of $$, foreign payback/bribes, drugs and human trafficking and their corrupt schemes (CFPB, Climate Change, etc.).
The Democrats have no other weapon.
Their candidates, policies and agendas stink just like this impeachment hoax stinks.
You can bet the President cutting off funds to the Planned Parenthood Molech cult figures into this as well.
President Trump declaring “Every child is a sacred gift from GOD” was enough for the viperous serpents to set upon him with all their poisonous fury.
Plus they get a big kickback in donations from PP.
Has Leader McConnell set the agenda for today’s proceedings?
Will their be discussion or just votes?
Discussion can go on forever and provide space for propaganda Sound Bites™
Typo penalty – Will *there* be discussion…
Back to the coffee pot.
I’ll make you another GA/FL! From when I was listening yesterday, they stated that there were four hours of witness discussion (2 hours on each side) then that determined if a vote was happening….Let me see if I can dig that up….
I found and posted it from the Senate Cloakroom site.
2 hours each side for “Closing Arguments”…..
NOT “witness discussion”.
Then…. a vote.
Not sure if the vote will be for moar witnesses or to acquit.
Been more than enough of those already
My understanding is 1PM start.
Four hours of yammering. Two hours each side. Hoping Managers go first. Thus letting defense – President Trump’s team have the last word.
Then, guessing:
– Straight to a vote on witnesses.
– Followed by vote to acquit.
Betting D-Rats will try motions to delay, yammer moar, yada, yada. Rs need to vote down and get on with the vote…AND THEY KNOW IT. The longer this drags on, the moar Ds get to lie with impunity.
Over this evening. Guessing. Hoping. Praying.
Back in the saddle again folks. Waves hello to the group, and while I don’t have Daughns muffins – I have Nespresso to craft you you ‘un café’. Any takers?? 🙂
I’d love some!
Coming right up! Cream/Sugar? lol
Yum – hits the spot!
No, I just got up to check on things (wind storm) and I’m heading right back to bed, but thank you.
Have a great comfy sleep Sylvia!!!
Thank you, I am sure I will!!!
Wind storm- Nadler?
MA_kswiss Nespresso is the best. Nespresso is all I drink and we have two Nespresso machines in this house one for little capsules and one for big.
Just now having my second cup just so I can take the farce today.
PELOSI MUST GO!
Pelosi used the same scurrilous secretive heavy-fist Modus Operandi to foist this invalid Impeachment business as she did with Øbominablecare.
Pelosi put this thing together illegally – she and the Democrats denied President Trump due process and hid her proceedings in a basement SCIF. President Trump was not allowed cross-examination of witnesses, not allowed to present evidence, not allowed to present his case.
NO further witnesses, no further validation of the Democrats’ coup attempt should be entertained in the Senate.
Vote to throw it out! It is the fruit of a poisonous tree.
Did you know that the Obama-Biden administration in 2016 fined JP Morgan $264 million for hiring the unqualified kids of powerful Chinese leaders? Biden fined Americans for doing exactly what Ukraine did for his son!
!!!!!!!! What? !!!!!
George W. Bush Blasted John Bolton In 2008: ‘I Don’t Consider Bolton Credible’
The Bolton thing is turning into another soap opera.
As the Swamp Turns now has competition.
Seems as though Bolton has a future with failing CNN.
Fox has article where he spoke yesterday, defending Vindman, Hill, Yavanovich, and the other traitors! 🤑🤮🤢
Appreciate that information.
Bolton has validated his position in the deep state…MIC…endless wars.
My initial thoughts were canary trap. looks like I was wrong.
He had too because did he not get $150,000 from an Ukrainian Oligarch?
If he actually gets hired at CNN, we’ll know for sure.
disclaimer:::: Apologies for bringing this junk into our cozy QTree living room:
But the DailyFail is running this completely distorted headline (eyeroll):
Alan Dershowitz quits Donald Trump’s impeachment trial after saying the president CANNOT be removed for a quid pro quo to aid his re-election then claims the defense ‘begged him to stay’
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7949285/Trump-defense-claims-acts-help-reelection-not-impeachable.html
Yeah, I read it. Typical click-bait.
They are pretty desperate to discredit Dersh, who is apparently the only semi-intelligent prominent Democrat.
Maybe he’ll switch parties. Wouldn’t that be a hoot?
Afraid he may be hoping for Supreme Court appointment, and he is too lib. I don’t want him, but he has been useful
Am doing some reading around the neighborhood houses (outside of our QTree living room) and on reddit/thedonald found this posted……does anyone know if this exchange actually happened? I want to go on CSPAN and watch it…but need help finding the timestamp….I think it may have been after I went to bed (midnight CET/6pm EST)

An Aquitmas Poem from Twitter by Weebutmighty @weebutmightiest
(I’ll just post all of the text to and link the original twitter handle name for ease of reading for all!)
T’was the night before #Acquitmas and all through the House,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a louse;
The supoenas were hung on the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Bolton soon would be there.
The Senators were nestled all snug in their beds;
While visions of re-elections danced in their heads.
When out on the White House lawn there arose such a clatter,
President Trump sprang from his bed to see what was the matter.
When what to his wondering eyes did appear,
But a miniature sleigh, & eight tiny reindeer.
With a little old driver so nimble and quick, President Trump knew in an instant it must be Cocaine Mitch.
With a wink of his eye and twist of his head, he let President Trump know he had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work.
He filled the WH stockings with verdicts of Aquital.
Then sprang to his sleigh, and exclaimed ere he drove out of sight;
Happy Aquitmas To All, and to All
a Good MAGA night !
https://twitter.com/weebutmightiest/status/1223106599574634505?s=20
4 HOURS of arguments facing us.
Then….vote on whether to continue the farce/hoax/scam/coup.
Sooo, we don’t have to start watching until 3?? 😛
1 pm – says CSPAN
I think there needs to be a discussion on the subject of Senators who are Presidential candidates voting on the impeachment of their political rival. If this is a main component of the impeachment articles–then it should be wrong no matter who does it–and these Senators are not immune.
^^^This!^^^^
I wonder what the true, specific motivation for each RINO-we-need-more-witnesses is, given that
– the Senate does not and should not have an investigative impeachment function,
– the President, Senate Leader and almost all Republicans don’t want witnesses,
– the general public wants to end this farce without conviction,
– the Articles use an anonymous source with only hearsay information,
– the Articles have no first-hand witnesses to support them, only speculation,
– the first-hand witnesses deny the accusations,
– the participants deny the accusations,
– the law requires corruption investigation before fiscal aid is sent,
– the corruption was well-known and wide-spread,
– the Articles, even if true, don’t rise to the seriousness of impeaching offenses,
– the President was denied due process,
– the House Managers lied continually in their presentations,
– the House violated their own procedures in pursuing this sham, and
– the House impeachment case is manifestly impotent.
BRAVO – EXCELLENT, CARL!!!
Bakocarl —
Here’s my take on the “Republican” turncoats:
ROMNEY — Revenge; Envy; his “place in history”.
COLLINS — “Constitutional Scholar”; “Loyal Opposition (DemCom in disguise); “place in history.
MURKOWSKI — Swamp Hatred of POTUS; pure RINO; “Loyal Opposition”‘ “place in history”
ALEXANDER (who just stated that he will vote NO on more witnesses) — “Constitutional Scholar” (not); DC Swamp Creature.
Regarding ALEXANDER: The Turtle likely talked him into voting No along the lines of, “look, don’t leave a bad taste in the mouth, you’re retiring anyway, your constituents won’t let you forget”.
HOWEVER — IT AIN’T OVER TILL IT’S OVER.
Re: Susan Collins- She is up for reelection in uber liberal Maine. She is in deep shanana already for supporting Kavanaugh. I suspect she has been given permission by Trump to go full Rino so save her sorry, useless ass (for the time being).

5) Fox is told Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) wants to engineer votes to pin down GOP senators on a host of issues. That could stretch out the trial.
They don’t call this “the world’s greatest deliberative body” for nothing
cryin’ chucky is NO MATCH for Mitch…………….
jes sayin’
Hopefully Turtle will shut it down without them continuing to preen for the cameras
Colleague Mike Emanuel rpts that GOPers say even if Dems seek to stretch out trial, it will not change outcome. Trump will be acquitted
why the heck would they ALLOW the Dems to do anything…do they not care how their counterparts AND POTUS were treated in the House? NO REPUB WITNESSES ALLOWED…they should shut it down today…
don’t mean to shout.
“don’t mean to shout” . . .

I wish somebody would throw some water on her so we could watch her melt 😎
Wonder what kind of theatrics she has planned for SOTU
dunno…but do you think POTUS had specially made PENS for some sort of acquittal document? just kidding…dunno if there IS such a thing…but THAT would be hysterical
A big fat black sharpie, so he can put a big fat black L on the traitors’ foreheads would do nicely 🤣
Dora
It’s getting a little too close to home for Nancy Pelosi because of her son’s involvement with Burisma.
Also, she will see the acquittal of POTUS as a personal affront. She was SO looking to “lord it over” a convicted POTUS at the State of the Union speech next week.
Lamar is voting NO on the Schittshow Schampeachment but in his weasle way of explanation, he gives the left another straw to grasp by insinuating that POTUS is guilty of something. Once again, a slimy SINator gets a dig in on his way out. Guess that will help insulate him from the chattering class in Nashville, but the rest of the state will be glad to see him gone.
Jay Sekulow & Jane Raskin did a masterful job defending my role as defense counsel, which was when Mueller was still investigating & Biden had not announced his candidacy. I was doing my job of defending an innocent client, our President

Tweet reads…
I have a question for Susan Collins.
Other than being a pain-in-the-ass, does she actually DO anything in the Senate?
(Break)
If Collins votes “yes” for witnesses she will be GIVING her Senate seat to dims in Nov.
Even POTUS chimes in on Jerry, Jerry, JERRY!! 😀
I hope they remove the chair Roberts has been sitting in and give the Chambers a thorough ‘cleansing’ (I’m talking spiritual cleansing here) after these evil House members and Chief Justice have increased the negative energy
Whatever happens today remember: we are watching a movie- it’s already in the can. The only question now is whether you prefer butter or margarine on your popcorn. I prefer margarine- it tastes more like butter.
in honor of the corrupt POS House Managers, I’m opting for MILK DUDS…LOL
Zing!

Nanzi,
How ’bout SCOTUS review your FAUX Articles and call the SHAM?
Rep. Andy Biggs AZ – This statement (from Bolton’s book) is merely conjecture, yet stated as fact ➡️
“…Mr. Trump seeking to harness the power of the U.S. government to advance his pressure campaign against Ukraine”
Both President @realDonaldTrump and President Zelensky have asserted that there was NO pressure.”
Quoting NYT sleaze Michael D. Shear @shearm
“BREAKING — New details from John Bolton’s book describes a meeting in early May in which
@realDonaldTrump
directed him to help with the pressure campaign on Ukraine, with Mick Mulvaney, Rudy Giuliani and Pat Cipollone present.”

His wife is ill
right…poison dwarf.
Shifty et al told him to stay away ??? Bet so!!!
That is very possible, can’t have him stealing the Schiffshow
I know his wife is ill, and she should be his priority.
But, after last night and Schiff’s control freak spaz out…they don’t want him there.
“We have many decisions to make as a family.” (Rep. NADLER)
Probable translation: his wife’s condition may well be worse than previously thought. Time to talk as a family about Hospice / getting her affairs in order. I wish her Peace and a pain-free final period of her time.
Perhaps this whole matter with his wife’s declining medical condition will give Nadler an inkling of his OWN mortality.
That was how I took it. I’m sure liddle Adam is glad to not have to compete for airtime either🙄

Should be interesting.
GIf showing the scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz silently talking and the text over it reading:
“Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking”
With Murkowski’s NO, the Senate has 51 votes to prevent witnesses and extended trial.
Mittens is a 🐍 That put aside, perhaps Collins needs her position on that vote to attract more support in her Senate race. She may have even been given Mitch’s tentative blessing, as long as he has the votes that HE needs.

Just a little stick of dynamite.
Yeah she is
Blackburn IS a pleasant surprise. Just like Elise Stefanik.
Yes, she is proving to be a rockstar. Elise is a little firecracker!!
Democrats – Guilty until you prove you are innocent.
The more I watch the House Managers summarize, one after the annoying other the more they sound like 12 year olds on a rookie debate team competing in their first regional event…… in comparison to what I know is about to come next….back to back premier, upper echelon, ninja lawyers to shred all the House Manager’s buffoonery into an impeachment salad.
And I’m here for it. MAGA ON PEOPLE!
I heard that Schiff claimed any unused time by the President’s council to rebut their arguments? is that true?
Yes, it is true that Schiff claimed any unused time to rebut the WH arguments…yesterday Jerry upstaged Schiff’s moment in the closing sun….Schiff needs to always have the last word….
so gthe WH team needs to use every second…
I think Schiffy can only claim time remaining on the allotted two hours that the House Managers were given. I don’t think Schiffy can use any time that is unused by House Counsel.
And yeah, I hope that the WH team uses their time wisely.
then I believe the WH team should do the same…the last impression is always the DEFENSE’S to make. So then they should use an hour and reclaim THAT after Schiff rebuts and rebut his BUTT.
I am hopeful that Mitch McConnell’s rules ensure that happens,because I agree, the WH should have the last word.
Hmmmmm.
“Jerry upstaged Schiff’s moment in the closing sun”…..
Could be why Jerry is not present today?
Checking Chad’s TL… there’s NO MENTION OF EXTENSION TO WEDNESDAY… going to post here…
Chad covers for Fox News… there appears to be a discrepancy here between the two! Paul Ryan may be behind “Fox reporting” … CHAD IS ON THE FLOOR…
Appears to me to be MORE LIES FROM THE DIMS AND THE MEDIA…
Vote will come TONIGHT to acquit imho
Didn’t that idiot Jefferies just contradict what he said yesterday with his concerns about foreign influence on elections? I guess it’s okay when you just pay for it.

Mark Meadows:
The Democrats know their process was broken, their evidence flawed, and that ultimately their impeachment is doomed.

Lee Zeldin: For a case that’s overwhelming, uncontested, indisputable & proof beyond a doubt, Schiff & his crew are being very convincing right now that they are missing A LOT to be able to prove their case. It’s on them that they rushed to trial prepared for little more than a face plant.
Just have to say, that Nadler looks I a big fat toad sitting on a log waiting for bug to go by.

Trump statement: I never instructed John Bolton to set up a meeting for Rudy Giuliani, one of the greatest corruption fighters in America and by far the greatest mayor in the history of N.Y.C., to meet with President Zelensky. That meeting never happened.
Schiff says I’m taking everyone over the cliff and if you don’t come you’ll be hounded forever and ever. Boohoo.
What Schiff isn’t telling anyone is once he gets his way and they get the Presidency or this idea of turning our Government into a Parliamentary system then we don’t have a constitution anymore.
The final decision about our Constitutional Republic is not Schiff’s, nor the Senators, nor Supreme Court.
“A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
That…. is WHY….. he isn’t telling anyone. 🙂

THIS!
Rep. Andy Biggs AZ:
Adam Schiff’s vindictive impeachment will have long-lasting consequences on congressional precedent & for political unity.
➡️ He ignored the rights of the Minority.
➡️ He blocked witness requests.
➡️ He refused to allow the POTUS to participate for most of the process.

I generally assume people are women here unless they either use an explicit man’s name or give me a hint! I’m always open for correction! 😉
Seriously, I am probably the least caring person about gender itself. When people get my gender wrong, I just go with it! And some people, I simply find that I relate to them better by using the WRONG gender intentionally in my mind. Which is weird, but it works, and THAT’S SOFTWARE.

Yes – absolutely! And give them information about your IP problems, too – these are helpful hints.

From the White House to my Inbox:
Crying Wolf on Impeachment
“The impeachment trial of Donald J. Trump is coming down to one big question: Will Democrats, by crying wolf, drown out the more legitimate Republican cry of foul? ‘Foul’ has served as the GOP’s most powerful and honest argument from the first days of these impeachment maneuverings,” Kimberly Strassel writes in The Wall Street Journal.
“Democrats broke every standard of due process, transparency and fairness in their House investigation, making a mockery of their constitutional duty.”
“They hid the identity of the original accuser, denying Republicans and the country the ability to judge his motives.”
“They held secret depositions, barring more than three-quarters of House members, as well as the press and the American public.”
“They called 18 witnesses, but blocked the president from calling any in his defense.”
“The White House legal team was excluded from the proceedings—prohibited from cross-examining witnesses, denied the ability to introduce any evidence that spoke to the central question of the president’s focus on Ukrainian corruption.”
The kicker: In the end, “Democrats approved two articles of impeachment that failed to identify a crime.”

That article by Kimberly Strassel pretty much says it all.
I hope White House counsel quotes this article after the break!

“Professor Jay says he is going to retry the entire impeachment case by the house since Queen Nancy railroaded Trump. Every….single….. witness…if they call witnesses.
Professor Jay just hulked out.”
Now Schiffy’s straddling a stone-wall….stonewalling, stonewalling, stonewalling……going to the court is now considered stone-walling…..Schiff actually argues this on the floor of the Senate…..”we don’t need to go up and down the courts, we have a perfectly good judge right here”…..Unbelievable…
That was supposed to be one of their Hail Mary tactics, sucking Judge Roberts in to decide the case – Unconstitutional as Hell for an Impeachment proceeding !!
Yep, since day 1….Judge Roberts take over and bring in witness after witness after witness ….
Schifty says to the Senate “you have the power….” Yeah they do, so SHUT IT DOWN
I was confused whether he was saying that to the Senate of if he was directing it at the Senate Officer, Justice Roberts.
He was saying to the Senators to “not let the President’s Counsel bully them”….trying to persuade them to go with the DIMS. If I understood it right
Thank you. I find that I sometimes ‘zone out’ when Schiffy is pontificating. :0)
He makes my ears hurt
:0) I have that issue with Jerry Nadler…not only makes my ears hurt, but my skin crawls…..
That sum bitch activates my tourettes syndrome
There goes Schiff again saying the Chief Justice can make all the decisions. But he wouldn’t dare say that if Clarence Thomas was sitting there.
Or Sam Alito…or Brett Kavanaugh…or Neil Gorsuch….
Oh man, I wish we had Clarence Thomas in that seat
John Kelly should shut up! The House had witnesses and did not allow Republicans to cross examine or call witnesses.
Bolton should also shut up! Hope he’s prosecuted for violating classified information.
Maybe, that is why they both got FIRED!!!

If Roberts strong-arms here and calls for witnesses and an extended trial with more evidence, etc. = then Roberts should be impeached!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are scared senseless of going into SOTU with an acquitted POTUS
I’d think POTUS’ defense would call for an immediate hearing at the SC. I don’t believe Roberts can interfere in the actual Senate procedure for impeachment. Perhaps after a trial, but not before. He’d have to be recused, IMO.
Or throw Roberts out. Period.
Senate can overrule Roberts with a simple majority…
He is NOT as much in control as the DEMONicRATS would like (or project). The responsibility for the adjudication rests with the SENATE, not Roberts, not the House…

So what is going on – where are we?
Break Time – Schumer and McConnell are discussing how to proceed from there – no agreement at this time
Schumer and McConnell have separated – speaking with their respective sides – to determine if they will continue on from here – tomorrow morning – break Sunday – continue Monday –
Senators who are running for President want to leave – to get to their events in Iowa – so they want to close.
I don’t get it….if Mitch has the votes, and Mitch is in charge….Why do they need to agree on anything? We have them on the ropes, don’t let up
Schumer left the Chamber to caucus with his group – the question is – should they take a vote on witnesses – McConnell still in the Chamber discussing options with his group –
SC Justice Roberts has left the Chamber…
This makes me nervous….by letting it out that he had the votes, did it sabotage the chance of getting it done?
No – just what they do – tells Schumer he only has so many options left – there is still some work to do – so witnesses nixed – what next – not sure – my feeling is – if all measures fail – vote to acquit – apparently, Schumer and buddies are stalling – obviously, they do not want him acquitted before the STOU Address – but, those running for President are miffed – because they need to be elsewhere – we shall see.
I love it!
Jay Sekulow:
If we call witnesses……
I will call EVERY house witness that we could NOT cross examine……
And we will do it here!
EVERY DAMN ONE !!!!!!!!
Common Sense, ray!
Yes, knowing already they have lost, they don’t want him acquitted before SOTU
When there appears to be no way, God has a way!!! I am counting on God to finish this!!!
Amen Duchess. AMEN

did you say something about “ropes”?

Voting on procedure could go on a long time, depending on how obdurate Schiff and Schumer want to be.
The Democrats are caught between a rock and a hard place – BECAUSE – the Shampeachmint is getting in the way of their sorry candidates campaigning. Heehee
Do not feel sorry for either of them –
Senators will vote on the witness resolution – expected to fail –
Organizing resolution is next – how they will proceed from there – proposed amendments – (2) hour discussion – this could go long into the night – resume tomorrow – Barrasso laid it all out – if someone could find it – please – thanks
The Senators running for President should not be allowed to vote in the Impeachment trial.
If you listened to Schiff’s opening remarks he laid out/admitted to the fact that the country would be going down an unknown path toward a parliamentary system if the Senate did what he wanted in proceeding with this trial. But not to, he pretty much said all the Republicans would be shamed for it. Which is essentially his win win situation he believes he can get. The only thing he has not calculated is America is not listening to his sham arse and if our Senator’s are wise they too shut their ears to all of it and vote no witness’s and then acquit.
When Sekulow spoke he made it clear – which of course would cause a meltdown of the House Dems – that if witnesses were called, POTUS’ defense team would call every single one of the witnesses who testified in that secret basement hearing. POTUS’ defense attorneys would not let the Senate only cross-examine “new witnesses” (Like Bolton). No, it would have to be all of them since the House didn’t allow cross-examination in their hearing.
Bet this wasn’t what the Dems counted on with their cry for new witnesses. The Dems are begging for Roberts to intercede, make it possible for “new” witnesses. I’d demand recusal of Roberts then! Anyway here is what Shem said.
Shem Horne
@Shem_Infinite
“Sekulow just made it clear, if it wasn’t already, that this fantasy of calling just Bolton would make it a fair trial and only take a week. If the trial is to be fair they would need the opportunity to cross examine all of these witnesses and it’d take months.
Sekulow has a surprise for the Senate. He is arguing that if the Senate votes for more witnesses, the President’s legal team would demand them to call every person that the House Democrats called in their hearings because they have not had the opportunity to cross examine them.”

So now the Senate has lapsed into a state of disarray. Nadler has left to care because of his wife’s illness. And those Senators with scheduled events for their political aspirations seemed to take priority as they wish to leave to go to Iowa or Mass. or wherever. SCJ Roberts needed to control this.
Video – Interview with Senator Barrasso on how the trial may proceed from here:
Thanks, GA/FL!!!
Things could get complicated tonight in the Senate trial once Senate defeats effort to call witnesses.
The framework resolution agreed to last wk for how the Senate would conduct the trial allows the Senate to begin to consider “other motions.” If no deal, session could run late
Are we there yet?????
Oh, wait, this is not the back end of a station wagon.
HAVE THEY VOTED YET??????????
Wonder which “other” Repubs that could possibly be? 🙄
Fox is told there are some GOPers who are pushing to end this trial this weekend and strike while the iron is hot and not tempt fate. Other Republicans think there should be an effort to have senators speak and deliberate the articles of impeachment.
Voting on witnesses! right now.
Collins voted yes.
ARGH!
Surprise! (Not)
They’re calling the roll….
If they will take the flipping vote there is nothing to negotiate. I keep telling myself that Pergram stands on his left foot more than his right….
As the Senate takes this pause in the trial, the problem is that McConnell doesn’t have everyone on his side lined up on how to finish the trial. That’s why the action has moved off the floor..as the sides try to negotiate a path forward.
Taking vote on witnesses – Resolution – Collins voted ‘Yes’ – Alexander voted ‘No’ –
Hearing more ‘no’s’ than ‘ayes’ – seems along party lines?
Murkowski voted ‘No’!
Romeny Traitor – Aye
Murkowski – NO
Collins – Aye
Rat Romney – Aye – as expected.
Fox thinks they have to cut into this?????
What kind of $#!+ is this?
It appears we have a partisan vote taking place….
Whooda Thunk?

NO WITNESSES!!!!!!!!!!!!

WooHoo!!!
Hallelujah……….
Exactly my sentiments in song form……with proper pomp and circumstance
NO WITNESSES!
God is Good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am overwhelmed with gratefulness. Thanks be to God.
Amen goes right there, sing!!!
If they vote for no witnesses, then vote to acquit….what else is there to finish?
It’s always about the math on CapHill. McConnell has the votes to block calling witnesses in the Senate trial. He has the votes to exonerate the President on both articles of impeachment. But McConnell lacks the votes to get an agreement on how to finish the trial.

That B!TCH, Lisa MURKOWSKI, is NOW arguing to have “closed door” conferences about the voting for POTUS’ acquittal GOING ON UNTIL AFTER THE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS. She’s siding with SCHUMER!
Goal — keep POTUS and the country on the hook re “if the President really will be acquitted”!
Hope Senator McConnell relieves her of that nasty notion in no uncertain terms.
That would reflect badly on McConnell as leader.
She took a cue from Lamar….vote right but get a dig in on the way out the door. Paging Sarah Palin……
Can’t President Trump just reschedule the SOTU Address?
Chuck YOU! shoomer…….
Whaaaaa.
Bwahahahahahaha……..
#BREAKING: The Senate votes 51-49 against summoning additional witnesses and testimony in President Trump’s impeachment trial.
So dumb question, is this still delayed until Wednesday?
They voted no on witnesses but Chuck’s crying about something as usual and they are dithering around on acquittal
I started thinking they are looking for the best Avenue for personal benefit since the ship is sunk.

Part of the holdup is that some senators are arguing the need for them to debate the articles of impeachment on the Senate floor. Open debate is the essence of the Senate. If senators aren’t allowed 2 debate impeachment on the floor themselves, they say that undercuts the Senate
Ohhhhhhhhh, I see.

“I don’t care what kind of nice, little, legal, Constitutional defenses that they came up with.”
Top tier idiot right there
Tippy top
HaHa! Hey Mazie, a lot of us at this point don’t care what any of you deranged dems or your deranged voters want. We are sick of y’all hijacking our gov’t and don’t care what you think anymore…We win, you lose!
Amen to that!!!
My guess and hope – is that McConnell is sufficiently tired of the whole business taking his valuable time – he’s going to give them a dinner break and call them back at 7pm and make ’em vote to acquit.
Final vote will be Wed
Senate speeches mom/Tues
Votes tonight on this
Tonight will be done by 8:30 per Sen Braun
“Senators will now confer among ourselves, with the House Managers, and with the President’s counsel to determine next steps as we prepare to conclude the trial in the coming days.”
Sounds like they are not going to vote tonight.
Voting on an Amendment brought forth by Schumer – motion by McConnell to table – think the ‘Ayes’ have it –
TABLE (KILL) MOTION TO SUBPOENA WITNESSES
YES – 53 NO – 47
What does this mean?
Not sure, GA/GL – now they are voting to subpoena Bolton!!
Schumer Amendment to Subpoena Bolton – McConnell motion to table – voting – roll call
Table (KILL) MOTION TO SUBPOENA BOLTON – listen to who votes no and who votes yes –
AYE – 51 NO – 49
THIS IS NOT RIGHT. They voted NO WITNESSES. Bolton should be arrested for leaking classified material.
President Trump:
Is McConnell allowing Schumer to bully the Senate Republicans and weasel a way to allow Bolton to testify?
No, Schumer isn’t getting his way – with McConnell or the Chief Justice.
I do not understand parliamentary procedure votes, cloture, etc..
Schumer tried to get Roberts involved using the CJ rulings on a couple of procedural motions in Johnson’s impeachment – they were not rulings involving actual Senate policy and rules.
Thanks again LP!!!
Thanks for the explanation. I need either a handbook or website to understand this stuff.
Schumer Amendment – # 1297 – McConnell moves to table the Amendment –
TABLE (KILL) MOTION ON RULES FOR BOLTON TESTIMONY
AYE – 51 NO – 49
He may be impeached forever….it will make him stronger 💪🇺🇸
On the other hand being a drunken, delusional idiot forever…….🤷
Pelosi: The President was impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. He is impeached forever. There can be no acquittal without a trial. And there is no trial without witnesses, documents and evidence.
There absolutely WERE witnesses, documents and evidence – in the House.
Pelosi evidently has dementia – since she has so soon forgotten.
President is NOT impeached UNLESS the House’s partisan Scampeachmint passes the Senate!!!
The House only has 1/2 the power to impeach – IT MUST PASS THE SENATE!!!
The House Impeachment was partisan and likely illegitimate – and shall not pass the Senate.
Indeed. The committees in the House never was given the jurisdiction to formulate these Articles, since there had to be a vote in the House for this to get started properly. That vote was never held, and if it had been, chances are it would not have passed, so nothing more would happen. Of course, these characters who are so lawyerly adamant that there has to be justice, couldn’t accept that so they started the whole works off without the proper foundation.
This is just the same «cart before the horse»-style modus operandum as we have seen a number of times before: Start with the conclusion and work backwards in time and space, to the premises, never mind such standard concepts as causality. Or «show me the perpetrator and I’ll find a crime», rather similar.
Thus all the impeachment (which I prefer to call the scampi peach mint, an unpalatable combination even under the best of circumstances) articles and is just as much rubbish. Passing this on to the Senate could taken as defrauding the Senate.
The correct ending to this isn’t acquittal, it is mistrial, with prejudice and with charges levied against the conspirators in the House.
Even I can figure this out and I’m an engineer and not a lawyer…
Fully agree! It was illegitimate from the beginning.
That is Pelosi’s MO – she did the ‘Sham-peach-mint’ just like she ‘passed’ Obamacare. No one was allowed to read it beforehand. You’ve got to pass it to read it, she said.
…. But then Engineers are taught to think logically.
AMENDMENT – #
TABLE (KILL) REQUIRING CHIEF JUSTICE TO RULE ON MOTIONS – McConnell moves to TABLE

For years, Republican extremists in the Tea Party & “Freedom” caucus have called the Democratic Party the “Democrat Party” as a slur. They’ve normalized the slur over time.
From now on, fine. Lexicon wars it is.
There is no Republican Party.
There is only the Trump Party.
She thinks that’s a slur? It’s appropriate because Pres. Trump has given the Republican Party new life and some Repubs in Congress the courage they lacked to do the right thing. The Trump Party will MAGA.
Exactly!
SENATE RESOLUTION # 488 – RULES FOR DELIBERATING & VOTING ON ARTICLES
AYE – 53 NO – 47
SO – Our President and we the people have to endure more grandstanding and propaganda by the Senators through and past the SOTU!!!
So, do I understand it correctly.
– Senators can submit stuff to the record and make ten minute statements.
– Wednesday, they vote to acquit. No long winded nonsense Wednesday,
No new stuff can be submitted, but whatever the Senators want to say in their 10 minutes of air time will be recorded in the Senate record, becoming permanent.
Thank you LP.
All will turn out just fine. It is a shame it won’t be over for SOTU. But that is another shitty move by cry’n Chuckster.
Trust POTUS to turn it to his (our) advantage. Everyone will be tuned into the SOTU address.
^^^ One of the many great attributes of President Trump… W I N N I N G 😉
Senators must submit depositions explaining their votes – Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
CONVENE on Tuesday, February 4th – (Did I get that right?)
SENATE ADJOURNED!
Romney not invited to CPAC.
If Rat Romney votes to impeach – he may be recalled – or at the very least – a one term Senator.
If things get bad enough – corruption revelations ensnare him – he may be out sooner.
🤗🤗🤗 That freaking weasel 🥶🤮😈🤮🥶😈
Thanks, TIM!!! Was looking for something to clarify what McConnell said – 🙂
👍
I have been considering the implications of this vote happening after the SOTU.
President Trump will have the most breathless, bipartisan audience he has had or likely ever will have for a SOTU address.
At this SOTU, it is the perfect time to Declassify all of the pertinent information concerning the accusations made against him. President Trump is totally media savvy. No one can just walk away from the disclosures. It will be the perfect time to lay out the Constitutional reasons why this impeachment does not meet any of the requirements for impeachment. There will be videos on the big screen and 500 page handouts of evidence with references to more evidence and documentation.
It is also the perfect time to disclose all of the foreign contributions received to sell out our country again with videos, audio tapes and documentation that has been gathered over the years.
The doors will be locked and guarded and the arrests will be televised on live stream TV.
I am ordering more popcorn.
I’m with you. Not a bad thing for the vote to take place after the SOTU.
No talking points for the Dems – other than what they’ve been parroting. POTUS gets to tell the country how good things are, and maybe POTUS can allude to what the People weren’t told – or what’s coming.
With the vote after the SOTU, the Dems can’t whine on national TV about how the trial ended. They can mention it, but it won’t have been completed. They won’t be able to vent their full righteous indignation because they won’t want to come across as losers to the voters before the process is complete, IMO.
Exactly. I believe McConnell might have steered even this to minimize Dem damage.
This I would totally absolutely love: “It is also the perfect time to disclose all of the foreign contributions received to sell out our country again with videos, audio tapes and documentation that has been gathered over the years.”
Well, it does fit in with the “State of the Union” concept – the corruption that stole money from American taxpayers – and POTUS is trying to stop said corruption on the part of elected officials. 🙂
This SOTU may have the largest audience ever.
Love the way you Elizabeth🤔🤔🙂
It would be lovely, but theyd have to coordinate with each fbi and military office around the country to make the non attendee arrests and for riot control. Plus, it would really have to be air tight so as not to get the nuts to try to suspend the election altogether.

Colleague Kimberly Anderson says McConnell leaves Senate chamber looking pleased. Had a big smile and gave a thumbs up
Must have irked elitist Pergram to make such a remark.
Flep News Round Up has been neglected today with the Impeachment garbage & could use some comments!
Per Larry S. I’m still fond of McConnell.
“What does this tell you? That Minion is gonna acquit. And if he votes to acquit, something tells me Manchin at least will join, perhaps both Enema and Jones.”
“Senate approves final framework to finish trial next Wednesday
The vote was 53-47”
@LarrySchweikart
“You can bet @realDonaldTrump
will have choice words for the SOTU.
And guess what? While NO ONE was watching impeachment, the whole USA will be watching him Tuesday night.”

So, it is interesting that ROBERTS made this ruling, not the Senate rules.
He could have screwed us folks, and didn’t . . . this time.
But I’ll take the win.

Maintaining perspective: The Dems have fired their weapons and come up empty. Keep in mind POTUS’ has yet to fire his.

Something to think about.
The Dems just lost their biggest weapon. Trump will be acquitted on Wednesday.
Trump on the other hand has kept his powder dry. He has Barr and Durham, possible indictments, Biden investigations, Rudy docs to unleash at will for the next 9 months😏😏

Better than all that: he has now totally discredited both the Special Prosecutor AND the House impeachment crap. Those will be totally ineffective again.
If I was a DemoKKKrat I’d be wetting myself.
Trump is about to be unleashed.
Replying to
@LarrySchweikart
Yes , I noticed at his rally yesterday that his speech was much more focused on four or five big campaign issues. It was a different tone from the Monday rally. He is entering campaign mode and he has all his weapons intact to fire at will.
So Susie ‘the Snake’ Collins voted with Mitty McTraitor… along with EVERY single Democrat.
I hope somebody is keeping score.
It’s a fine opportunity for a late entry outsider to challenge both of them.
It could be anybody, and they would beat either of these two.
All another Republican would have to do is say the same thing in every campaign speech:
My opponent votes with the Democrats against MAGA and my opponent tries to jam a knife in the president’s back at every opportunity. I will never do that, I will support the president and I support MAGA.”
Then roll on to the next campaign stop, and repeat. 👍
Spam-Binned!
Ah, yes. CLUB RINO!!!

Pelosi still trying to fashion her own reality. “Impeachment is forever, no acquittal.” Someone needs to wake her up. Hopefully things are coming that will do just that.
Should we all buy stock in Kleenex. 😄🤣🤣🤣
