I Just Noticed Something On MSNBC Re: Impeachment In The Senate....

It said: Supermajority of 67 votes needed if all 100 Senators are present.

What if let's say 29 Repug Senators don't show up for the trial? Does that reduce the supermajority of votes needed to impeach to around 47?

Am I interpreting that the right way?

Anyone Here Going To A "No One Is Above The Law" Rally Tonight?.....

Do you have any ideas for signs?

Has John Bolton Been Interviewed Since He Left The WH?.....

I don't think I've seen any comments attributed to Bolton since he left the WH. I believe his lawyer may have made some comments but not Bolton himself.

Am I right about that? Do we have any comments by Bolton on the record? How has he managed to keep low and out of the clutches of the press?

Rudy's Ploy To Give Repug Senators An Excuse For Voting To Acquit Trump......

Beyond a reasonable doubt. I don't know if that applies in this Senate trial for Trump's impeachment but - Rudy will be putting up all sorts of smokescreens and info in the form of his documentary to give Repug Senators a way out.

They can say that with Rudy's info (be it fact or fiction) that they can't vote Trump out because - the case wasn't proven 'beyond a reasonable doubt'.

That's what I believe Rudy's role is in this whole mess.

Rudy Is Said To Be Making A Documentary Film In/About Ukraine.....

probably related to Burisma & the Bidens.

Obviously Trump knows what Rudy is up to and in fact he may have ordered Rudy to do just this.

My questions are where is Rudy getting the money to make this documentary? Film crew he has to pay? Access in Ukraine? Who is financing this production?

And So The Corruption Continues....

So Moscow Mitch is coordinating his Senate moves with the WH. Says the Repug will vote to acquit Trump.

A juror working with the accused. Sounds corrupt to me.

I Keep Hearing Dem House And Senate Members Say When Interviewed "No One Is Above The Law"......

as it applies to a president (Trump).

Unfortunately - I believe that until there is a legal rendering that definitively states that 'No one is above the law' that a president (Trump) will keep pushing the envelope committing all sorts of crimes and will continue to get away with them.

I'm beginning to think that it is a tactical error on the part of the Dems for not taking a legal route to once and for all get a legal rendering on this topic.

So The Vote Is To Impeach And Trump Immediately Shoves It In Our Face By.....

having Rudy show up at the White House.

He didn't even take a minute to let the fact that he will face impeachment sink in.

Should We Expect Going Forward Any Surprises Or Bombshells From The Dems Re: Trump Impeachment.....

Will there be (for lack of any other word) an October Surprise from the Dems that would cause Repugs to have to acknowledge that Trump is a criminal and should be impeached?

Or will we all be demoralized when Trump gets acquitted in the Senate and Trump becomes even more emboldened to take more criminal liberties as president?

We All Know That The Repugs Purposely Drew Out The Proceedings Today So That The Vote To Impeach....

would have to be taken very late at night so that very few Americans would be watching the historical vote. Trump probably gave them instructions to make sure that as few American TV viewers as possible would be watching when the vote to impeach was taken.

It was a great move by Nadler to adjourn the meeting till Friday morning to mess up the Repugs plan.

It was funny to see Collins mug the cameras after that calling out Nadler for adjourning the meeting because the Dems were manipulating the timing of the vote.

Womp!!! Womp!!! Turn about is fair play!!!!!
