Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsStupid, pointless impeachment trial of Secretary Mayorkas dies a quick and merciful death.
Both charges have been dismissed.
Now voting to adjourn the trial.
Marge Greene, who was supposed to be the impeachment manager, will undoubtedly have a sad.
Womp-womp.

(5,631 posts)I agree the charges were ridiculous. However the GOP once again took cover behind the wall of procedure, escaping an embarrassing presentation by the District of MTG and having to vote on the actual charges, on which I believe many would have sided with sanity.

(5,631 posts)I am more focused on whether the GOP would vote to convict. Now they can just hide behind the motion to dismiss charges as a procedural issue, which how they manage to avoid confronting decisions.
I just see this from a different perspective.

(5,631 posts)Make them respond to her. They cant run away during a trial.
I actually agree it is a waste of time and money, but we seem to let them get away with too much and frankly this far into general election season, I doubt much legislation is going to get done.

(23,622 posts)providing and empowering the attention they think they deserve. What does it really accomplish?
They already listen to their own to the extent that they've created an echo chamber. They are just spouting disinformation and outright lies.
I wouldn't want to be an elected representative of The People giving time and energy to them to do that. Bringing to mind the phrase "stooping to their level" plus it seems petty. Certainly, undignified.
What's the point of having our legitimate government representatives signal boosting babbling insanity? Because that's all they're capable of doing, insane babbling.
Their insanity doesn't deserve legitimizing and that's what giving them a platform does.
If someone has a disease does it make sense to find out what caused it and do more of that to make one's self even worse? No, if you want to heal and feel better you do what it takes to overcome the illness by killing the cancer, infection, virus or whatever.
The Republicans are the perpetrators of all that is sick in our society. I believe they will have to be starved to death of the things that form the foundations of their sickness.
They certainly don't need to be encouraged to create more sickness and chaos.
Our leaders are duty bound to do what's good, right and helpful for our society. I don't want them fighting culture wars just to make a point.
That behavior in the grand scheme of things doesn't help us and will probably only hurt us in the long run.
Plus it's a huge waste of time which is the most finite resource on earth we have.

We'll see how far that gets her. One hopes it will supply her with a one way ticket back to GA where even people around Rome have their limits when it comes to being embarrassed by their Congresspeople.

(19,222 posts)is one of my favorites. It puts the unbridled pursuit of power in its proper perspective.
Donald Trump would do well in reading it, but he'd never understand it and attempting to explain it to him would be exasperating, and fruitless.

(2,648 posts)I've performed in several productions of this, and it's my favorite play. Got murdered (and came back) as Banquo, played a Witch, the keeper of Hell's Gate, the doctor, spearchuckers and extras.
And that speech is one of the most powerful Will ever wrote..."Have lighted fools the way to a dusty death."
How's Coleman?
SergeStorms
(19,222 posts)And yes, "The Scottish Play"" will always be my favorite.
Coleman, Coleman, Coleman.....what to do about Coleman? 🤔 The last time I saw Coleman he was caught in a riptide, floating out to sea clutching an inflated plastic mermaid, a Tommy Chong bong, and a 40 oz. bottle of "Old English" malt liquor.
I called the Coast Guard, but they said, "we're busy", and hung up. The line has been busy ever since, and I wonder if they're blocking my calls.
I have bigger bad guys to fry right now, so I'll try again later. 😉
Break a leg.

It would be harder to get her to give up and quit if those chicken shits keep giving her control over anything.
