Yes, and when the legislative and executive branches disagree on things who settles it? That's right, the judiciary branch.Quote:

The tears of the next 4 years will be so delicious. As someone once said, our cup runnith over.Quote:

Here is my faithful summary of Lamar Alexander's statement..
- Trump did it.
- Trump's behavior was inappropriate.
- We have ample proof that he did it. We do not need additional witnesses.
- It was not bad enough to remove him from office.
- No Republicans voted for the impeachment in the House. Impeachment only works when there is bipartisan support.
- The voters can sort it out.
Alexander's full statement is available at https://www.alexander.senate.gov/pub...t-witness-vote
This is going to be the most controversial paragraph from his statement..
Quote:
It was inappropriate for the president to ask a foreign leader to investigate his political opponent and to withhold United States aid to encourage that investigation. When elected officials inappropriately interfere with such investigations, it undermines the principle of equal justice under the law. But the Constitution does not give the Senate the power to remove the president from office and ban him from this year’s ballot simply for actions that are inappropriate.
Imagine a bunch of BacKKKlashes and Serans, but in Congress.Quote:

Watching the media already lose their minds over the expected vote against more witnesses is one of the best things ever.
Ever notice it’s always on Republicans to “do the right thing” and side with Democrats? Like the default position is always that Democrats are right so whatever they do is good and Republicans better “get on the right side of history.”
That's because republicans are usually too spineless and chicken shit to stand up for anything and let democrats walk all over them in hopes that they'll one day be in the cool kids club, despite the fact that 99% of those tard democrats aren't cool at all.Quote:

Yeah I'm sure it had everything to do with that, and not the whole Coronavirus becoming more of a global issue. Oh, and corporate earning reports rolling out.
Yeah no, definitely senate related. You dumb fuck.
He'd have to tune out of CNN to realize there is an epidemic going on. You know, where the Chinese have literally quarantined several cities of approximately 30 MILLION people.Quote:

But yeah, it's the senate basically arriving at the conclusion we all literally knew they would, because a majority vote won't ever happen. Yeah. That's it.
Also, I actually made a little money today, net net. Amazon up 7+% was great. I had a trigger to sell @ 2k, and son of a bitch it blew right past that this morning.
THANKS TRUMP. Even when China threatens global apocalypse, I am making money (paid for new running boards on my truck and about 1K extra in the old trading account). Not a monster gain, but I'll take it.
I see Romney of course sided with the Democrats on the witness issue. Is Romney the biggest butthurt loser in the history of politics or what?

LOOK HOW SOMBER THEY ARE.
Also, look at Camala's OH NOES face when Schummer shushes her.
This is a very somber moment for our country. No one WANTS to impeach Trump.Quote:

Schumer to Chief Justice John Roberts: Did you know that in 1860 the then chief Justice in the Senate impeachment trial of President Johnson cast tie breaking votes?!
Roberts: Bitch are you for real? Of course I know that shit! He cast tie breaking votes to adjourn! Get this shit out of here!
I may or may not be paraphrasing the exact wording of this conversation.
Again the Democrats come off as little children trying desperately to be taken seriously at the adults table. Going back 160 years for precedent in which the chief justice cast a tie breaking vote to adjourn and using that as evidence that Roberts should cast a tie breaking vote for something that is actually serious and important in this trial?
You're retarded. Also:Quote:

I ain't tired of winning yet and don't think I'll ever get tired of it.
Why do I think if I look that up on Politifact, they will actually have analyzed it.Quote:
