Okay I finally figured it out ...

If you have a football team or a baseball team or a basketball team
that has four extra players ... Know what I mean?

Four more players than the other side on the field or floor at the same time
the team with the four extra players is going to win

Same with the impeachment hearings in the US Senate going on right now

The GOP has four extra players and a couple may cross over to the other side,
but the GOP still has the numbers to stop this impeachment today

An investigation trial where complices of the accused can vote to have no witnesses questioned anmd no evidenmce seen and checked that could harm their man.

Hilarious. 51 chimps in a freak show.

A group that knows the game is rigged and the rules are meant to allow rigging, and although haviong no majrity nevertehless starting it.

Hilarious. 47 chimps in a freak show.

Two Republicans posing as having understood this and disagree to play by rigged rules.

2 chimps learning about the meaning of evolution.

America has made a ridicule of itself with this performance. Insisting to be the moral and political role model for the world, is no more an option.

I see the peanut gallery has chimed in. This "impeachment" was nothing more than a hatchet job from the start.

For someone who is innocent, there sure seems to be a lot of hiding and pants sh!tting.

Be ready to reap what you sow GOP.

Trump impeachment: Failed witnesses vote paves way for acquittal

US President Donald Trump is set to be acquitted in his impeachment trial after senators voted against calling witnesses or admitting new evidence.

Democrats hoped four swing Republicans would vote for witnesses, which would have extended the trial without in all likelihood changing its outcome.

In the end, only two of the four Republicans voted with Democrats.

The trial now moves forward to a vote on whether to acquit President Trump, which he is all but certain to win.

I think they stand to do pretty well. They might even get control of the House back in November.

That's gonna cut both ways. The next Democrat president may get the same treatment.

Or maybe, just maybe, we might start to see candidates that haven't compromised themselves getting there.

Nah!

Keep in mind, the democrats are determined to get him out office, they would vote to convict no matter what. They want witnesses called but no matter what the evidence showed, they would vote to convict.

Republicans just the same but inverted; they want to rub their chins and consider the evidence but with or without witnesses, they would vote to acquit. Anything short of credible video evidence of Trump saying "I want to get Ukraine involved in our elections" they would vote to acquit.

No different than the last impeachment. Clinton was caught red handed perjuring himself in a grand jury testimony but the Democrats decided to acquit him regardless.

Facts don't really matter in either case.

I wish! Hillary Clinton refuses to be served Tulsi Gabbard’s defamation lawsuit

Oh, I agree with you and held no illusions that Trump would be removed from office as a result of his impeachment.

What bewilders me is the GOP senators and Trump's defense saying there's not enough evidence or no first hand witnesses, yet they vote to not introduce new evidedence or witnesses. If Trump is innocent, the evidence and witnesses would be in his favor.

Again, there sure is a lot to hide it seems. Both Bolton and Parnas, by their own words, would have been willing to testify under oath. Trump's impeachment stigma will not go away this way and GOP, being short sighted as usual, will (in a reasonable world) suffer from this.

What impeachment stigma would that be? The impeachment from start to finish has been a completely partisan undertaking. All it shows is that his political enemies hate him a lot. Well good I say. They can continue right on hating him until he leaves office in 2025 and I hope they choke on their hatred.

But would Biden and Biden been willing to testify? Old Joe was in charge of Ukraine policy for Barack Obama when the drugaddled jr Joe was getting a no show job from a Ukrainian company that was considered crooked.
