Impeachment |OT|

On the ABC stream they're saying people got told off for spitting out sunflower seeds and chewing tobacco in the chamber.
Oh, I know. I mean turnabout is fair play, but at this level of consequence, I can't even imagine what the news cycle would be like.
CNN has a small collection of "courtroom" drawings from the Senate which include a happy Marco Rubio writing with a quill and another drawing of a spittoon.
I think this is a whole lot less likely than my last five copies of Control giveaway. But I'm throwing it down. If the Senate votes to remove from office, I will give away five copies of Doom: Eternal. Or if he resigns. Or even if he decides not to run for reelection. Rip and tear Era, until it is done.
Probably PC. I'll decide after he's removed from office and we're all dancing in the streets.
I wonder if Vegas takes bets on this as I'd place my life savings against all three. (Dying of a heart attack wouldn't count)
There's actually a website for this I think?

If we're talking things that will never happen if he gets removed I'd buy 5 people a next gen console lol
Nice of you either way.
What was the trigger for the Control giveaway? Can't remember
Don't remember why I first made the pledge but I said I would give away five copies of Control if he was impeached by the house.
Ahahaha. I will smoke 25 era members up at my shitty apt. , and cook them dinner if Trump resigns!
As someone who works at a theater, both those types can fuck off.
Thought everyone might enjoy this given some of the discussion in here.
bahahahahaha. I'm laughing to keep from crying
Oliver should run that simultaneous screen of all of them in his premiere.
They cant exactly argue on the facts because they arent in dispute.
The White House is calling Schiff a liar, while simultaneously letting that wraith KellyAnne Conway float about the W.H and get interviewed? Come the fuck on.
I've been home watching and I somehow must have missed this. This is amazing. He just wasn't paying attention and must have just grabbed something he thought he heard to be indignant about.
Just watched that. Amazing stuff. He goes hard on it, too. Just a total fool.
This whole thing feels like such a farse. He has the majority so he can get away with it. That's all it comes down to.
Seems that way. I don't know how Republicans will be able to compare and contrast Sekulow and Schiff and go "yeah, I'm going with the guy who complained about lawyer lawsuits." At least it seems like (according to Chuck Schumer and others) that Republicans were paying close attention to Schiff's presentation. Even a partisan hack like Lindsey Graham reportedly congratulated Schiff.
It's very easy actually. They just have to ask themselves which one is a Republican.
Yeah. They'll only compare and contrast which "side" each is on. What actually gets said won't factor in to anything.
I'm hoping that maybe, maybe a miracle might happen and by the end, after being forced to sit through all most of the House Members case some might do the right thing. But it's a very, very thin hope.
I always think the Dem team is doing a good job. Laying down facts, timelines, and easy to digest points. Then you get angry dude on the Rep side arguing in passion over a thing that wasn't even said by the Dem side.
Then I wait until the newscasters come in and chime their opinions of what happened. They almost always say the Rep side has no defense for anything that is being said, but the Dem side is too word heavy and they aren't arguing anything we already haven't heard before.
I very much dislike the "impartial" analysis every news network seems to have to abide to. When one side is clearly in the wrong, it should be easy to just state as such without trying to dig into one sentence the Dems said that they don't like. Guess that means I shouldn't watch these things on cable for my blood pressure.

For the people plugging into this constantly, yes....there's really nothing "new" coming out of the Dem side. We know the story, we know the facts, we know what happened.
But most of the public isn't listening to all 8, 9, 10 hours of this "trial". They're maybe plugged in for an hour here or there. That is the group that this is trying to reach to. the "casuals". So yes, there is a lot of repeating of things. There is a lot of hearing the same facts over and over and over again.
It's necessary for what the goal is.

Not to mention that some of the "casuals" are in the fucking chamber itself.
I had just resumed listening in the car when this happened so I had missed Val Denning's opening statement when she was talking about the FOIA lawsuits. I was scratching my head all day wondering what this dumbfuck was talking abour.
Wish this was getting more coverage because it plainly shows how fucking unpreprared and ill equipped Trump's team is. They even doubled down on the "lawyer lawsuits" misreading when they were asked about it later.
The less prepared the president's lawyers are and the more they look like bumbling idiots (especially compared to the house managers) the worse it will look when the Republican senators try to acquit the president. So it's really important that moments like this get as much airtime as possible.
House managers continue. The President's team won't start til next week.
We find out next week. Likely not because Republicans are too scared someone might make them look bad.
