Clowns.

Ken Star is such a hypocritical asshole

 

[Maddness]

Ken Starr trying out for the next season of Law & Order. I guess he's taking his shot.

"The House traditions could have been honored."

Yeah just like how McConnel has really been keeping up with those Senate traditions eh?

In 400-ish votes three of the articles were divided by 10-20 votes...so bipartisan.

 

[Yerffej]

Could Roberts just put a halt to everything and say "Okay, enough bullshit call some witnesses"?

 

[julian]

Glad that nonsense is over.
....oh so now it's just going to be about how the House is garbage. Cool. It's amazing how little defense they have. They're not even trying to defend the president's actions.

 

[CaptNink]

LOL PENS!!

 

[nny]

"lawyer pens?"

"lawyer pens??"

 

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

As a talking head on TV, Sekulow looks quite slim, but here, boy he chonky.

 

[NihonTiger]

The pens.

THE PENS.

Sekuluow: Look at that bitch Pelosi smiling and joyfully putting out a pen.

Yes he can. But technically, the GOP can just vote to overrule that!

Technically there's no rule saying he can't. But he isn't.

 

[RoKKeR]

So much drama about the process, and zero substance. Shocking.

 

[Doober]

Ukraine didn't know that Trump wanted to withhold aid therefore no problem!

 

[Lonestar]

Sekulow going with the "look at these people eating crackers like they own the place" defense. Handing out Pens. THE CHEEK OF IT.

 

[fade]

they are distributing PENS

 

[skeptem]

I love that somehow Ken Star's argument is that "if you really think about it, it is against the Constitution to impeach a president!"

 

[hitme]

Yes he can. But technically, the GOP can just vote to overrule that!

There's uncertainty in the rulebook as to where GOP either needs a majority or 2/3 vote to override his decisions.

From what i gathered earlier, it was a 2/3 vote during the Clinton trial.

So much focus on the call but scared to call 1st hand witnesses about what was said before and after the call.

November 2020 you guys, we gotta go in.

[skeptem]

Oh how the support flowed! It was only on hold due to his concern for the corruption!

The same crap as before.

"Everyone has expressed great corruption!"

 

[skeptem]

For all their concern about putting words in the mouth of the President, they sure are happy to do so to defend him.

 

[Lonestar]

I don't know that Trump knew what Ukraine was until he found out they had Oil. See IGOR'S SOUNDCLOUD.

 

[The Chosen One]

I just love how Bolton is the big elephant in the room during this guy's entire argument, which basically invalidates everything he's saying.

 

[thecouncil]

I like when the defense is like, "why didnt tell you this bit of defense evidence?" and it's like, 'um, because they're the prosecution?" lol. like, do they know how trials work?

 

[Doorman]

Between July and September, did any other nations even commit to giving more aid? I feel like this is an excuse that can blow up pretty quickly.

 

[Deleted member 2533]

The US needed to wait to send aid because they need Europe to lead. Great argument.

 

[Gabe323]

All it would take is a single memo or email from the admin to verify all of this but it doesn't exist.

 

[julian]

"Let me tell you other nations whose aid was withheld. Maybe look into those?"
Okay?

I literally was just thinking this. Their job is to sell their case, obviously they aren't going to say things that aren't relevant to their side.

...Same way the defense is not disputed literally anything.

 

[Gabe323]

Please talk about how Rudy was the country's best option for rooting out corruption.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Isn't the fact that the aid was eventually released w/o any change also.....destroy they're own argument about burden sharing and corruption?

 

[Tarkus]

The house managers didn't tell you this. Why not?

they suddenly and coincidentally got very confident in Ukraine's lack of corruption.

similar to Trump's sudden and coincidental interest in corruption regarding Joe Biden.

 

[julian]

Uh, that's not an invitation? What the hell? If there's no date, it's just words.
