4 hours of closing arguments I believe, then a vote afterwards.
On point 2, nothing. This will set a precedent for all future presidents to do the exact same thing with 0 repercussions. At that point, do we even have a democracy any more?
Perhaps we should have both men testify under oath to clear this up... not that oaths mean anything to Trump.
Drugs and TV man. Drugs and TV. Just like Bradbury predicted.
I just can't with this.
no, no. You're right. House can do whatever they want, I was speaking from the trial standpoint. I think they'll still be digging up shit as long as more oversight happens. We have tax returns and McGahn still going through the courts.
This is unironically the reason why this doesn't happen. It's way easier for that stuff to happen when a gigantic % of the population is within a few hours distance of the capitol.
Four hour debate on witnesses, then a vote on witnesses. Then the call to vote for convict/acquit, though Democrats can make motions and delay this call well into the night if they want.
With this Bolton story hitting and other buzz regarding possibly delaying the final vote, the timeline isn't totally secured yet.
Imagine America, 1963
"We should march on Washington!"
"but, America is so big :("
She has literally zero reason to vote yes. She wants to keep her seat she votes no. Mitch gave Collins permission, he absolutely said no to Murkowski. They aren't going to risk Roberts standing up however unlikely.
A significant chunk of the population does live within a few hours of the capital. America has had mass demonstrations in DC before. And there ways to protest other than going to the capital.
The problem is that it isn't the people vs the state, it's half the country against Trump's half, and they've been brainwashed and have all the guns.
If Trump gets a second term, SCOTUS is lost for the rest of our lifetimes. Bigger fish.
Just imagine all this in terms of murder: You have a serial killer than enjoys killing and has explicitly accepted the murders, and also inferred directly or indirectly that he will do it as many times as he can. Then, there's his defense not only accepting all charges, but are willingly allowing him to continue to do it but now without any worry about consequences.
Of course a person that enjoys killing, is a serial killer, and has no remorse will do it again and again!
Trump is that guy! Trump is the guy that won't stop because he sees nothing wrong with it, and if the does know it's wrong, he doesn't care. how can you have an ENTIRE Republican Party following him blindly. I would accept half of the Republicans, maybe many are involved or benefited from him, but ALL of them? HOW??
The worst part is that 95% of the Republicans (either Congress or Senate) know that there is nothing beneficial for them in supporting Trump! They have absolutely nothing to gain, and actually much more to lose!! This is the biggest mind-blowing fact that's happening, not the sham trial.
If Democrats win the Presidential election, can the president throw everyone (possible) in jail, starting with Trump?

This proportion looks very, very different in most smaller countries.

There's a stat about the % of population involvement that you need in order to get protests to get changes in response. Reaching that level is radically more difficult because of the combination of sheer size and population density involved.
Murkowski announcing that she's against witnesses, most likely.
Nadler so far hasnt showed but all the other house managers are there. I hope they keep him off today so the doesn't screw schiff again.
Now now, let's not oversimplify the matter.
We all know there's a real reason setting the US apart from all other nations that absolutely prevents them defending their values:
They have work in the morning.
Don't forget losing our jobs and health insurance as a result.
Nadler's wife just got diagnosed with cancer, so if he's missing that's likely why.
Nadler isn't there today, back home tending to his wife (cancer).
It's pretty much over, Republicans just blocked another attempt to call witnesses.
Congratulations, America, your country is, fucked.
Congratulations, America, your country is, fucked.
Their viewpoint is basically "If the abuse of powers comes from our party, then of course it is the best for the country."
Oh little Marco, this will haunt you when it is time for re-election.

Fahrenheit 451 really did turn out to be the most accurate dystopia
Absolutely cannot wait for more trash to leak out and for them to clutch their pearls. Just bad people.
My brain cannot process that comment. I understand that is the general opinion of the GOP, but Holy shit.
IF it was a Democratic President, they would of already thrown him in jail, and would be trying to impeach the Vice-President.
We need to work so we can have health insurance, and a lot of us live in right to work states where we can be fired for no reason. Come on now, let's not shame poor people for being shackled to capitalism and kept one accident away from being financially ruined, homeless, and without any health care. That shit is tired as fuck, thanks
2 - 4 hours to debate witnesses before the vote. Possibility of more votes for specific witnesses or documents afterwards if Schumer wants to hammer away tying republicans to this disgusting act. Closing arguments tomorrow and likely rolling over to next week before the final acquittal vote. Some rumblings Republicans might stretch this out all the way to Wednesday, but I doubt they will let this go on that long. It'll likely be over on Monday or Tuesday before the SOTU.
