I Think It's Been Asked Here - But I Didn't Come Across The Answer - Could It Be A Secret Vote?.....

Could the Senate call for a secret vote - so the Repugs won't have to go on record - and vote to convict him?

Is There Still Room In This Trial For Witnesses Or....

have they all agreed not to go there?

I Just Switched To CNN From MSNBC.....

I won't/can't watch Chuck and Andria. I sure wish MSNBC gets the message that whenever they have those two on - that people immediately turn off on MSNBC.

And There It Is - The Sound-Byte For Pence's Commercial When He Runs For President In 2024....

Pence was just doing his job. It was what was written and had to happen. He did nothing courageously. He was part of the aiding and abetting of Tr**p during his whole administration.

I hate to think that sound-bytes will be taken from this impeachment trial to promote Pence in 2024.

And We Watched All This Play Out In Real Time As It Happened And Did Nothing.....

This whole factual story being laid out by the House Managers in this trial - we watched as it happened in real time and did nothing.

We had to let the Capitol be stormed by insurrectionists and have 5 people die and countless others injured and maimed before we could even try to stop this insanity.

And now we are in the midst of another impeachment trial - and the MSM, the talking heads and even some U.S. Office holders are telling us that we can't get 17 Repug Senators to go along with the Dems to convict this despicable criminal.

They say - it's inevitable. He's going to be acquitted.

So next week - we'll be hearing from and seeing Tr**p come out of his hidey-hole - gloating and saying that he was exonerated.

Just think we watched all this happen in real time and did nothing. We did nothing. We let him get away with this.

I Hope That The House Managers Get Around To Telling The Repug Senators How....

Tr**p used them and took advantage of them to further perpetuate his lies and power grab.

We've heard here many times - that everything Tr**p touches dies.

The Repug Senators - that are sitting there as the jury in this trial - aided and abetted Tr**p.

They are the 'suckers and losers' that were taken in by him. That over his term continually 'circled the wagons' for him.

They were praised and equally threatened by him.

And Tr**p is sitting in Mar-A-Lago now watching this and is counting on them to save him one more time and vote to acquit.

Little do they realize - they're being touched by Tr**p - used by Tr**p - and they are destined to have their Party die at the hands of Tr**p.

Maybe if the House Managers can convince them that they are the 'suckers and losers' Tr**p uses - that they can be embarrassed and disgraced enough to vote to convict him and prevent him from ever holding office again.

Surely there must be 11 more Repug Senators that will go along with the 6 that voted yesterday to proceed with this impeachment trial that can be convinced.

Don't Tell Me That Tr**p Has Dementia, Is Stupid, Doesn't Know What He Is Doing.....

He is an evil genius. Cool and calculating. This whole thing was plotted out by him and his staff and the Repug Party all around the country - in D.C. and in the States - aided and abetted his plan to maintain the presidency at all costs.

I hope they mention his attack on the USPS and his appointment of DeJoy to cripple the U.S. Post Office and their ability to handle the mail-in ballots that Tr**p knew would be a disadvantage to him.

This was well thought out. Tr**p had help and support to carry this out. And he used his bully pulpit and the MSM to his advantage to lead up to the 'storming of the Capitol' and this insurrection and his treasonous ways.

I Wouldn't Be Surprised If Trump Fired His/These Lawyers Today......

They didn't do a good job representing him.

If You Think About This - Throwing Trump's Followers Under The Bus Works In The Repugs Favor.....

Tr**p's lawyer threw Tr**p's followers under the bus.

Here me out on this:

The Repugs fear Tr**p/Tr**pism/MAGA's. They have that fear because they feel that they need to be in TR**p's good graces or they will lose their job - lose their power base.

The Repugs are worried also - that Tr**p could form a 3rd Party to further threaten them.

Well - with Tr**p's lawyers throwing Tr**p's followers under the bus - it's like an arrow into these followers hearts - that Tr**p has thrown them under the bus to save himself.

It's Tr**p's MO. Deflect the blame on everyone else - but not shoulder any of the blame himself.

If Tr**p's followers feel betrayed by him and they dump him - that threat that the Repugs feel that Tr**p could end their careers; harm their families or start a 3rd Party - goes away. Tr**p will have no base with which to form a 3rd Party.

If they were smart now - they would vote to 'CONVICT' Tr**p in this impeachment trial and go that one step further - vote so he can't hold office again in this great country of ours. Put the nail in his coffin and end his reign of terror on the Party forever. They could do this now and get away with it and make Tr**p look like the scoundrel he is.

They should also go on record every chance they get and let Tr**p's followers know that Tr**p threw them under the bus. He betrayed them.

So very neatly - Tr**p loses his base support. The Re pugs remove Tr**p as the 'so-called' leader of their Party. Tr**p cannot ever be elected again and pose a threat to the Repug Party. And Tr**p fades into the obscurity of history as the worse president ever in U.S. History.

I Keep Saying There's Power In Numbers Here....

The Repugs had an opportunity with the 1st impeachment to rid themselves of Tr**p. They blew it because they let him intimidate them.

Tr**p not learning his lesson gave them an opportunity to correct the error of their ways and gave them the opportunity to again - rid the Repug Party of Tr**p.

Tr**p not having the pedestal that he's had the first time around is weakened.

If the Repugs in the Senate were smart they'd realize that there is 'power in numbers'.

Tr**p can't possibly take them all on and take revenge on all of them. They need to band together and vote to 'convict' Tr**p this time and once and for all rid Tr**p from the Repug Party.

They could crush him this time. Vote to 'convict' and then all of them come out with both barrels blazing and mount a verbal campaign against Tr**p aimed at Tr**p's supporters and all Repugs - that Tr**p is toxic to their Party and that he should be sent into the obscurity of history.

They can do this if they get themselves organized and come together as a Party and rally around the Country versus rallying around Tr**p and the Party.
