Stupid, pointless impeachment trial of Secretary Mayorkas dies a quick and merciful death.

[Tommy Carcetti]

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.

[hlthe2b]

1. The first photo of MTG's "sad" reaction posted will earn our forever appreciation for the schadenfreude!

[Tommy Carcetti]

3. Between this and **GASP** Ukraine actually getting the aid it desperately needs...

...Marge is going to be very sour today.

Thoughts and prayers.

[dchill]

16. Can't spare a square.

[Tommy Carcetti]

2. And it's done.

Kaput.

That's all she wrote.

Finito.

Finished.

The end.

[Lovie777]

4. Greene will blame it on "woke"..........................

anti whatever Greene believes, laser something and dick pics.

[honest.abe]

5. 51-49 to adjourn the impeachment trial. With that, the Mayorkas impeachment is over.

[bullimiami]

32. 49 Republican fools voted to continue the farce?

Yet they wouldn’t vote against Trump in his impeachments.

They are truly lawless.

6. Shallow observation

Mike Lee (R-MAGA) has a shaved head. Did get head lice?

[Tommy Carcetti]

7. He's testing out his new Lex Luthor look. nt

[mountain grammy]

24. That made me laugh

must be the vodka

[RussellCattle]

8. Shallow, but funny.

[onenote]

10. He shaved his head back in September

[blogslug]

18. Well

I'm still gonna tell everybody he had head lice

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

22. I just want to hear him deny he had head lice, just like LBJ would have said n/t

[Raven123]

9. I have mixed feelings about this

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.

[Demsrule86]

27. They would have slimed the president and myorkas...so I am glad it ended this way...

makes margie look like a fool.

[Raven123]

30. I'm less focused on MTG

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.

[littlemissmartypants]

34. Why waste the people's money and time on it?

[Raven123]

36. To force the GOP to listen to one of their own

Make them respond to her. They can’t 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.

[littlemissmartypants]

38. It seems likely that that would just be feeding the beast,

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.

[Demsrule86]

45. To each their own...but no matter what I am glad it is behind us.

[Augiedog]

11. If it had been me receiving that mob of intellectual nincompoops I would have had a trash can at hand for their litter.

[mountain grammy]

26. I also thought "trash can" but for different reasons

[Bev54]

12. I am happy to see they dismissed this quickly.

The republicans so wanted to keep this going for their talking points.

[peppertree]

13. Moscow Marge couldn't manage a peach stand - let alone an impeachment

She'd steal the profits - and then claim the "Gazpacho police" did it.

[louis-t]

23. She couldn't even manage a peach tree dish.

[maxrandb]

25. She's what we in the Navy called a "Seagull Manager"

Flies in, starts screaming, shits everywhere, flies off.

[littlemissmartypants]

35. Perfect description. ❤️

[riversedge]

31. *

[Warpy]

14. Moscow Maegie will shriek like a banshee into a bullhorn

on the Capitol steps about how everything is so UNFAIR because the DDEP STATE won't allow JUSTICE for a JEW!

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.

[dchill]

15. Damn! And she probably took extra 'roids...

... just to get ready to be tagged in!

[NBachers]

17. Republicans are circling the drain that goes straight to fucking hell.

[spanone]

19. Eat💩 Mitch McConnell

[NYC Liberal]

20. Good. The Republicans wanted to use the trial to make campaign speeches

No need to waste time and taxpayer money on this political stunt.

[Emile]

21. Instead of pointing their finger, why not pass

immigration reform with their house majority?

Oh I forgot, Trump wants a wedge issue.

[SergeStorms]

29. The messiah says....

NO! The idiot actually thinks he's going to get elected again. 🙄

[SergeStorms]

28. It was a tale told by an idiot....

full of sound and fury,
signifying nothing.

I love Shakespeare. 😁

[ChazInAz]

39. And all our yesterdays...

[SergeStorms]

41. "The Scottish Play"....

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.

[ChazInAz]

43. As an actor,

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]

44. I've done a few plays myself.

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.

[Takket]

33. I was kind of looking forward to watching MTG make an absolute fool of herself

Trying to actually lawyer lol

[mahina]

37. Could we talk for a minute about them giving her so much power?

They were going to let her be the impeachment manager? Why are they giving her the reins?

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

[calimary]

40. Works for me!

ALL of that works for me!

[MineralMan]

42. "You are dismissed..."

Next agenda item, please...
