Witnesses are going to be called now and there is a phone call between Trump and McCarthy on the sixth that appears relevant.

I don't normally get into the politics thread because quite honestly, there is much I don't know. I found a Youtube video yesterday in which the Trup Lawyers showed the Dems had edited video's in support of their charges and arguments. This morning, that Youtube video has disappeared. I find that quite troubling.
I did find a little of it.This is but a small piece of the much larger video I saw or perhaps others viewed real time in their entirety. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDN1YU1903s Edit : Here is the video I saw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfJaxhA4sP8 |

Which is why we need bring in outsiders to break up the cabal. If not the flawed Trump then someone else, but our politicians should not be professionals. The swamp exists. It continually grows larger and more oppressive and now we're allowing secret cabals of bureaucrats and oligarchs to "fortify" election results. https://time.com/5936036/secret-2020-election-campaign/ |
No witnesses will be called. Everybody is afraid of the dirt that would be brought out. :haha:

Yep - they're more afraid of their own dirty deeds being exposed moreso than trying to "convict" a private citizen in a sham "trial." Constitutional scholars have already stated that Congress has no jurisdiction to impeach someone already out of office, let alone convict them. What could they possible do to him? The moment they try something that they think would be legally-binding is they moment they find themselves in a real court of law. |
It's been done before with a couple judges I think.

It's been done before with a senator, a governor and a secretary of war. The difference is that they *resigned* or were *expelled* before their term was up - *and* they were not convicted except in the case of a governor under a state constitution rather than the US constitution - whose wife became governor. The best part of the whole sham is that the constitution itself is abundantly clear "When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present." So - he isn't President during the trial but they are trying him for when he was President, so the Chief Justice needs to preside, which he isn't. Bottom-line - this is all kabuki theater designed to fund-raise for the Dems' midterms. |
Is rather amazing a culture of "WAP" and "itches & 0's" , a 98 billion a year porn industry that everyone became offended by private locker room talk when it was clear what he meant.

I don't know how an American prosecutor think or work in your national laws.
Here in Denmark or Sweden a prosecutor would not take a case to the court if s/he knows there none to very little chance for a verdict against the accused. Since the Dem chose to impeach former President, I presume they had a strong case against him. Either it wasn't strong enough or it was a case of back clapper among most of the Rep family. Markus |

Every GOPer who voted to impeach or convict is done politically. They'll all be primaried. Wait and see if the midterms don't result in a record number of independents being elected and a record number of MAGA-Republicans |

Not unexpected, still another nail in the coffin of the former Grand Old Party which has almost completed its tranformation into the Great Orange Party.

I just had to watch this again.
