‘Schumer failed to include a rule banning collaboration between senators and counsels for the House and (Trump) because he assumed that no senator would be so lacking in basic ethical standards that they would do such a thing.’—@LucianKTruscott

1. It is high time for the Dems to understand we are dealing with sociopaths.

Who will stop at nothing to maintain power and wealth.

3. If only the Democrats understood things as well as you do

Maybe you should send them an email explaining it to them.

[Irish_Dem]

5. Right, I have been meaning to send off some emails to Joe.

Might as well include Schumer and Nancy.

[StarfishSaver]

8. I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

[Irish_Dem]

16. Yes they can give me a medal in appreciation.

12. A DU member posted something from the Rude Pundit.

One line said something like “You can’t win a game when the opponents have wiped their asses with the rules”. An excellent synopsis of how we should deal with republicans, there are NO rules that they won’t break if doing so gives them an advantage.

17. Why can't every one see we are dealing with sociopaths and enablers?

And must act accordingly.

2. Is that jury tampering?

[Takket]

4. believe it or not... there is no such thing in an impeachment trial

[StarfishSaver]

7. No.

They're not a jury and this is not a criminal (or even a civil) trial.

[StarfishSaver]

6. This is not a criminal trial. It is a political process.

But, by all means, let's have Lucian K. Truscott, screenwriter and novelist, tell Democratic senators how to do their jobs because they couldn't possibly understand any of this as much as he does.

10. LOL, Exactly

9. It doesn't matter.

If they would have made it a rule repubs would do it anyway.

[StarfishSaver]

13. And even if they didn't, they're still going to vote to acquit

There's no point getting all worked up about any of this.

18. it's amazing how often one backslaps DUers

who may think that our Democratic leaders have made a wrong move. It IS possible that they have. They are not perfect or all-knowing. They are, however, sometimes apt to make political calculations that are expedient, while not necessarily the right thing to do.

[StarfishSaver]

19. I haven't seen anyone backslapping DUers who may think Democratic leaders may have made a wrong move

But I do challenge DUers who speak of our Democratic leaders as if they're stupid and/or cowardly, and aren't nearly as committed to doing the right thing and don't know as much as the people who haven't a fraction of their information, knowledge or experience, are making their decisions in ignorance, and need to be educated by them on how to do their jobs.

11. Another Point Missed by the Esteemed Lucian K. Truscott

If there were such a rule in place, and Republicans wanted to break it, they would have just done so by ignoring the rule.

[StarfishSaver]

14. Exactly
