[nolabear]

[orangecrush]

1. First post!

The House is about to put Uncle Sam's footprint right on Donnie's wide orange ass!

[nolabear]

4. Thanks! Apparently they're going to be asshole about it.

Oh well...we know who they are.

[orangecrush]

12. They can boo all they want

Doesn't change a damn thing.

The GOP during Nixon at least conducted itself with decorum and respect for the offices they held.

These assholes are trying to turn it into a high school football game.

[dalton99a]

2. Do it.

[geardaddy]

3. Fuck those booing assholes.

They're booing Schiff. They can fuck right off.

[Takket]

7. zero respect for our rules...

[Hermit-The-Prog]

11. They disrupted. They were not disrupted.

Russiapublicans are despiccable.

[geardaddy]

14. Bingo.

[crickets]

5. The speaker is having to gavel everyone quiet so Schiff can speak.

More than once. So rude.

[underpants]

9. They are like dashboard believers

Talk radio

[hlthe2b]

6. There is a delay for those of us streaming. Is McCarthy the last?

[nolabear]

8. Schiff up now. I think that's it.

[crickets]

10. We used to stand up to Russia and Putin,

Ronald Reagan used to stand up to Russia. BURN!

[geardaddy]

13. Yes

[bdamomma]

39. Adam Schiff

[NJCher]

15. ATTN NBC: GET THAT SPLIT SCREEN OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[marybourg]

16. All my local stations have cut away for news, including the PBS station.

[nolabear]

17. It's TIME!

23. Did you hear the Rethugs claim they won the voice vote?

[Kali]

43. they do seem top think LOUD means...something

[ancianita]

22. I really wanted a roll call vote. Still, I'm just glad it's begun.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

25. I wanted an amendment and vote on length of prison sentence.

[ancianita]

29. Wasn't that for yesterday?

[Habibi]

24. Dumb q: what does "NV" mean? nt

[Hermit-The-Prog]

26. Not Voted

[Habibi]

32. Oh! Like it's a countdown? Not voted *yet*? nt

[Hermit-The-Prog]

35. pretty much. It's actually "No Vote", but I expect all to vote on this item.

[geardaddy]

27. The one Dem Nay vote has to be Colin Peterson.

[BumRushDaShow]

30. It may be Jeff Van Drew (soon-to-be-former D-NJ).

[geardaddy]

34. Ah yes.

Now there are 2 Dem nays.

[StevieM]

36. Jeff Van Drew has not officially switched parties yet.

He and Peterson will both vote no.

Actually, there are now two vote from Democrats against impeachment.

I think there will ultimately be three. Tulsi Gabbard may ultimately vote no too.

[geardaddy]

40. Ah, Tulsi

You mean because of her ties to Putin?

[BumRushDaShow]

28. ****VOTING NOW********** 1ST ARTICLE***** 15 MINUTE VOTE ***********

[Hermit-The-Prog]

31. are you sure it's not a vote for (a) Sanity or (b) Insanity?

[Blaukraut]

33. Isn't there one Dem who will vote no on 1 and yes on 2? n/t

[nolabear]

37. Two, apparently. Van Drew and another. I forget who.

[Blaukraut]

41. I saw one Dem on MSNBC saying he was only going to vote yes on article 2.

Can't remember who it was, though.

[crickets]

38. MSNBC Chris Hayes made the point about the differences between the parties

as we've watched them speak: that 90% of the Republicans are angry white men while the Democratic party reflects the diversity of the country. He was articulate and it was a great point and the Brian Williams just jumped to another guest to change the subject. It was so chickenshit of him, but luckily another guest piped up to remark on it positively later.

It's a point that deserved to be made.

[Lifelong Protester]

42. Yay!

[BumRushDaShow]

44. Almost there for Article 1 - need 216 (for majority since there are 4 vacancies)

[Sugar Smack]

[nolabear]

68. Gabbard votes Present.

Her career’s over.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

73. Hawaii deserves better.

[crickets]

70. Tulsi Gabbard has voted present. pffft

MSNBC guesses she wants attention, but moving on, she doesn't deserve it.

They noticed the single Republican yea vote and are looking in to it.

[uponit7771]

71. Gabberd votes present ?! WTF ?! REALLY ?!

[Mersky]

72. Ugh, gabbard voted 'present'

[gristy]

74. Is this just the first article? They will vote on the 2nd article today, yes?

[BumRushDaShow]

76. Yes about to do that now.

[crickets]

78. Nancy is not giving 15 minutes on this one. FIVE MINUTES, PEOPLE!

She will take no guff from the peanut gallery either. Good for her.

[BumRushDaShow]

83. They usually do that when they know everyone is still there.

[crickets]

92. Ah, TIL. Good to know, TY! nt

[IcyPeas]

[padah513]

77. They started to clap

Nancy shut them down. She is a boss

[gristy]

79. so cool to see Pelosi handle that gavel! :)

[Mersky]

80. Nadler called for the roll call vote!

I like it.

[crickets]

85. Me too. Why let it be a complaint? Let be a call for showing all the votes.

Dems knew they were going to roll call vote anyway, so why not ask first.

[Mersky]

99. I really enjoyed seeing a broad smile on his face.

Has been hard fought.

[nolabear]

81. Who the hell voted nay on obstruction? Gabbard and

[Mersky]

84. Another is probably drew from NJ

[BumRushDaShow]

89. Gabbard has been voting "present"

[llmart]

82. Republicans are going to behave like asses throughout the entire process.

I would be ashamed of myself if I identified as a Republican these days. Seriously. What a bunch of rude people. Just like their idol.

[crickets]

86. 216 needed and only 211 recorded with time at 0 - c'mon vote!

eta, whew. that's better. Tulsi still votes present, little twerp.

[gristy]

87. at 0:00, the yea's are trending for article 2

Yea: 211
Nay: 147
Pres: 1
NV: 72

On to overtime!

[H2O Man]

88. Yip-yip-yahoo!!!!!!!!!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

90. if it's by electronic device, what's taking so long to plug 'em in?

[crickets]

94. CSPAN or MSNBC can't remember which sez

Apparently they are not all voting electronically. Dems are using their red cards and Repubs are insisting on voting directly with the clerk.

eta the card is electronic.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

95. IOW, typical Russiapublican delaying and disrupting tactics

[crickets]

96. Yup. All the way to the end. nt

[llmart]

91. Fat Lady Just Sung
