The Senate trial is going to be lit.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

We get to choose the witnesses! Imagine seeing all the Q people testifying they ransacked the Capitol, vandalized it, were prepared to murder the vice president and our representatives, for and at the behest of Donald Trump.


If we handle this right we can tar the whole rotten party for a generation or more.

[KS Toronado]

1. They'll just plead the 5th, we have plenty to present at trial.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. A lot of them are now mad at Trump for throwing them under the bus.

[KS Toronado]

3. True, good point, they currently are not happy with their fearless leader.

Or should I say fearful leader?

[OhNo-Really]

5. If they signed a plea deal don't they have

To reveal all their crimes as part of a plea deal?

[KS Toronado]

6. I believe so, but keep in mind tRump will be the first one going to trial

Impeachment is a trial, so we're going after the leader of the insurrectionists first, his followers
may not have even been to court yet, other than arraignment.

[Eyeball_Kid]

4. Cicciline will be on fire. He's a great talent as a rhetorician.

I'm looking forward to the trial. Cicciline will knock 'em dead.

[BComplex]

14. I've only seen him on MSNBC, so I haven't seen his action.

You say he's good? I'm looking forward to it!

[SleeplessinSoCal]

7. I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, but

I am certain the big money, be it foreign or domestic, is pulling McConnell strings. I think he is now captive to them and we'll see who holds more sway, dictators or billionaires.

[Mr.Bill]

9. I think McConnell, through providing some conviction votes

and some Senators being absent is setting himself up as the deciding vote for conviction. And he's going to want something very big for that.

[orangecrush]

12. Good point.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

13. ooh... I like your theory better. n/a

[Volaris]

16. He gets to keep the filibuster is my take on that...

ALSO, he gets the beginning of his revenge for trumps dumbass losing him his Majority.

If he ends up being the deciding vote, it will be a signal that hes about to go scorched and salted earth on these trumphumper motherfuckers...that there is BUT ONE Republican Party, and therefore ONE AND ONLY ONE money spigot...and it belongs lock, stock and barrel to Yertle the Turtle King.

Go ahead, magats. TELL the man hes wrong lol!!!

[lunatica]

10. Like, hasn't that been going on since President Obama's Inauguration Day?

This isn’t new.

[BumRushDaShow]

8. The fact that the option for "witnesses" is what is "lit"

When Turtle was in charge during the first impeachment trial, he unceremoniously torpedoed the idea in the Senate rules, which was unprecedented for any impeachment trial in the history of this nation (whether for a President or federal Judge), as every previous impeachment trial featured witnesses as a matter of course.

[BobTheSubgenius]

11. I can't wait...but I'm also wondering about expecting too much.

I'm very, very hopeful, but not super-confident.

[SayItLoud]

15. Hit them in the pocketbook

Making all GOP donors AND businesses aware, keep reminding them, of the murderous coup attempt and threats to Democracy... and that their continued support of tRUMP and the rePUKES who supported him, support him and enabled him will DRIVE $ away from their companies and PACS.

I do not think facts alone will get the 17 rePUKES needed to convict tRUMP ....UNLESS their donations dry up companies continue to cut ties with them.

[EndlessWire]

17. Well

I think a lot of time will be spent on his first defense. And that is, whether we have a Constitutional right to try him after office. The witnesses will be scholars and such.

And then, we will be able to present evidence about his part in the riot and attempt to overthrow the Gov. I am hoping that we can include his little tap dance with the Georgia SoS.

It is very important that we convict him, so to prevent him from ever coming back. Plus, as an example...we musn't lose our head of steam to try him and convict.

[KayF]

18. lol Trump done in by our star witness

[live love laugh]

19. I hope MSM doesn't bury it. nt

[triron]

20. Right now I can't see (MS)NBC or CNN doing that.

[live love laugh]

21. Yes it's NBC,CBS and ABC that I'm worried about since many don't have access to cable. nt
