    Empty seats in the trial

    It was only day two, but the restlessness was palpable on the Senate floor on Wednesday as Democrats made their opening arguments against President Donald Trump.

    Senators were expecting their first recess at 3:08 p.m., roughly two hours after the trial got underway. But House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff declared around 3:15 p.m. that he still had 10 minutes left, and several Republicans — including a half-dozen who had been waiting near the door — bolted to the exits.

    As Schiff finished up his roughly three-hour presentation, there were as many as two dozen Republican senators out of their seats at once — a clear violation of the rules that bar senators from leaving their seats during the trial.

    “The end is in sight,” Schiff quipped on the floor, as senators began shuffling out of the chamber en masse.


    Even before that scheduled recess break, a half dozen Republicans had decided to stand in the back — like Sens. Tim Scott of South Carolina and Ben Sasse of Nebraska — rather than remain in their seats.

    A half-dozen Democrats, too, were in and out of the chamber. That includes Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who left the room three times — including once for more than 10 minutes. But nearly all Democrats remained in the chamber to listen to Schiff, even as some, like Sens. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), and Joe Manchin (D-W.V.), stood near the back of the room to lean against a railing or wall.

    The longer Schiff spoke, the more flagrant the rule violations on the floor. There were several whispered conversations, with several senators going in and out of the chamber every minute or so.

    Removing a sitting president that the American people elected, by a few radical Democrat Socialists in Congress, is not going to happen.

    .There is no crime and there will be no conviction.

    These radical Democrat Socialists and anarchists will pay a price in Nov.

    Default Trump impeachment viewers turned off by TV rerun: Goodwin

    As he stood on the Senate floor at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Rep. Jerry Nadler declared that he and his colleagues “will now attempt to tell you the story” behind their impeachment charges. Immediately, hearts sank and televisions went dark across America.

    It was only Day Two of the Senate trial and already Democrats were repeating themselves. In fact, they were repeating their repetitions. What’s left to say?

    Not much, but that won’t stop them from saying it. Again and again and again.

    Nadler’s turn to put his audience to sleep followed three painful hours of listening to Rep. Adam Schiff plowing the same ground repeatedly, which followed more than six hours of similar arguments Tuesday. And under Senate rules, they still had 21 hours to go!

    Their overkill oughta be an impeachable offense. And isn’t torture prohibited by the Geneva Convention?

    Allow me to outline the Dems’ dilemma. I’ll be brief.

    They don’t have much to work with. That’s their entire problem right there.

    Anybody who cares to know what all the Washington fuss is about has known for months the outlines of their charge that President Trump did something very, very bad in his dealings with Ukraine.

    If the particulars of the case escape you, that’s because they’re so small.

    But to admit as much would mean Dems have no case at all.

    And without a case, they have no election campaign, no donors, no hope of beating Trump and taking the Senate.

    Then the crazy wing of the party — which is now pretty much the whole party — would dump them for 200 clones of Rep. Alexandria *Ocasio-Cortez.

    America must be punished as Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer desperately try to turn this mole hill into a mountain. It’s not an easy sell, which is why they plan to use every possible second of their time.

    Their key strategy is a version of the Big Whopper. If something is false, saying it over and over can make it sound true to some. Because the nation is so evenly polarized, they don’t have to fool all the people, just enough to swing the election.

    The other sneaky feature of their case is language inflation. Obviously aware that the two articles they filed are weak, do not allege actual crimes and are headed to certain failure, Schiff and Nadler are raising the ante with sheer exaggeration.

    Schiff foolishly claimed, that the brief hold on arms for Ukraine last summer “sacrificed the security not only of our European allies but also our nation’s core national security interests.”
    You would think even a shred of honesty would compel him to admit that Barack Obama never gave Ukraine the lethal arms that Trump has — but you would be overestimating Schiff.

    For another example, Trump, instead of exercising his right of executive privilege by blocking key aides from testifying, was “defying” and “obstructing” House probers.

    “If this conduct is not impeachable, nothing is,” Schiff said, a strange claim since he didn’t actually accuse Trump of committing the Constitution’s defining words of “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

    Their inflation also included the destructive insistence that Trump must be removed now because he will cheat in the November election. In fact, both Schiff and Nadler seem to have just recently concluded that what they call the “entire scheme” was part of a plan to cheat by damaging Joe Biden.

    That logic led Schiff to say that the election cannot be allowed to decide Trump’s fate because “we cannot be *assured that the vote will be fairly won.”

    Thus, the party that has spent three years insisting the 2016 election was illegitimate has now served warning that it will make the same charge about November if Trump wins again.

    Apparently elections are fair only when Democrats win.

    Also, impeachment trials are fair only when Dems get their way, despite being the Senate’s minority party. Their appeal to the GOP majority is simple: let in all the witnesses and documents we want, or we will accuse you of a corrupt coverup.

    Any Republicans hoping to meet them halfway are deluding themselves. Today’s Democrats don’t believe in compromise or even honest *disagreement.

    They want everything their way or they will smear your character and try to destroy your life. Just ask Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

    Allow those words to sink in.

    This piece of mierda is saying that the American people do not elect presidents, a few radical, sulking, Democrat Socialists elect our presidents.

    Stunning.

    he is CONFLATING/INFLATING the request to look into the Biden affair as Trump calling for other nations to interfere etc -hence foreign powers causing election results.

    Schiff is nothing but the master inflater -stringing together various factoids/snippets based on his interpretation of events to construct such fairy tale narratives.

    IOWs he's doing what good liars do -
    finding a kernel of truth and spinning it and adding a narrative to is to show a fake conclusion built out of 1% cloth

    Exoneration is Constitutional.

    did they boot him for his vile accusations? i didn't think they did

    “I’m sad to say I see a lot of senators voting for a cover-up, voting to deny witnesses, an absolutely indefensible vote,” said Nadler, seeming to stumble for a moment through improvised remarks. “Obviously, a treacherous vote,” Nadler added, in describing McConnell’s open whitewash tactics and the actions of any senator who supported them. “A vote against an honest trial, a vote against the United States.”

    There is video of Nadler, el sapo (the frog) falling asleep in the House impeachment circus.

    He should be removed for sleeping on the taxpayers’ dime.
