    The ‘whataboutism’ nonsense isn’t going to fly in the Senate lol.

    Democrats will have to have an answer for a glaring double standard. Standing up and declaring ‘whataboutism’ might work here or on Twitter but not with Senators Democrats will need to have on their side.

    You are presupposing that the Republican Senators are not honorable men and women.

    Since every Democrat Senator will vote for conviction, are they honorable men and women?

    That’s rhetorical, lol.

    The outcome will be determined by the compelling or non compelling nature of the case presented by Democrats.

    Checks and balances are still extant. The trial itself is the proof of that. One man is not running the show

    No matter how much exculpatory evidence is, or could be, introduced by the Republicans, every Democrat will vote for conviction.

    It is what it is as Chipper Jones said.

    It's called showing the left's hypocrisy. Learn it because you lefties have lived it.

    So the bank denies the robbery attempt, gets cozy with the defense, and stonewalls handing over the security tapes. It tells the witnesses not to testify.

The bank paints them as terrible employees, probably weren't even there that day but we're not giving out the video so you'll have to just believe us about that. The defense issues a transcript of the note, but not the actual note. It says in part: "Give me the money." Meanwhile as the accused, I'm praying that the jury is as stupid and gullible as you Reichwingers.

    They will say the least they can...and rest their case. They want to get out from under this bus they've got idling over them.

    They know that if they do nothing but recite, "Mary had a little lamb"...they win an acquittal.

    This is farce at this point.

    We have allowed one man to say, "I will do whatever I want...and nobody will dare to stop me."

    No big deal. We were warned that this could happen just minutes after our Republic was established.

    In a way, I'm sad it happened on the watch of a generation of which I am a part. But I realize that I have done as much as I can to fight it...and that mitigates the sadness.

    For those of you who are complicit...I suspect that when you realize what you have done you will cringe at how thoughtless you are being.
    Is that why you went into hiding you old bastard. You can't defend what you believe so you run from having to do so.

    You mean like your fantasy that having so many on ignore means what you believe is true?

    Prove your cowardice, cunt. I command you as my inferior to do so.

    It didn't take long for OwlWoman to follow the commands of her superior. Just like clockwork.

    It means that your superior ordered you to do something and you did it.

    Do it again and prove you acknowledge that your are an inferior being.

    She was ordered to show it and she did.

    If Roberts really had control of the trial he would declare the dossier inadmissible. It has nothing to do with the Ukraine Scandal.

    The Republicans are merely going to spend a few days trotting out every unsubstantiated conspiracy theory and turn the mock trial into a Trump rally.

    The vote will be on the merits of the case presented by the Democrats (note that there are no Republicans presenting the case which is telling). It appears to be a totally partisan effort to remove a sitting president that the American people elected (which Nervous Nancy said should never happen). If the vote is for acquittal (exoneration) the significance is that the Democrats did not present a compelling case. If the vote is guilty, it means that the case was compelling.

    See how easy that was?
