Yeah, we're nearly to the point where Trump actually COULD gun down innocent people in Times Square and Senate Republicans would eagerly makes excuses for him.

What if it was behind the scenes **** ? Like he ordered his goons to murder a reporter like Kashoggi ?

With a “suspicious” name like Kashoggi, it might play quite well to his fan base.....

Almost, nah, we're there or rather here. I bet if it happened some Republicans would even blame the victims or maybe Pelosi. They or she left Trumper no choice but to act.

Senators aren't allowed to speak during the trial, so Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren can easily watch the trial on C-SPAN from Iowa, New Hampshire or South Carolina, and text any questions they have to Chuck Schumer, who would then submit the questions in writing.

The problem is that if they are absent, Moscow Mitch will likely have enough votes to force through the changes he wants.

She seems nice.

When you get a direct question, attack the reporter:

Manu- “@SenMcSallyAZ, should the Senate consider new evidence as part of the impeachment trial?”

McSally-“Manu You’re a liberal hack I’m not talking to you.”

Manu- “You’re not going to comment?”

(Walks away)

Sanders is right that it wsan't the time and place. But if Warren is that bothered by this, I'm surprised she wasn't more aggressive in the debate.

We don't allow women to be be aggressive. The media would have called her "shrill" and "emotional". Sanders supporters would have wondered how she can have PMS at her age. Etc.

i would just wonder why she was acting like Hillary. i still support Warren. but this crap with Bernie is seriously disappointing.

You're absolutely right, I should've mentioned that in my post as well. Still....I'm disappointed she didn't press that issue. Even if it means wading through that **** from Sanders and the media - I think it could have been a galvanizing moment for her.

Conversation overheard at lunch today. "You see those pens Pelosi had for the signing?" "So disrespectful" "Imagine if they did Obama like that"

LOL

I am somehow thinking those people are selectively outraged at "disrespect" Considering they think trump is a victim of it
