Dinosaurs died like a hundred million years ago and yet he's still here, I'm not sure we ever will? At least he's upholding our values and principals though right? RIGHT?!
Like this is totally expected and everything but just hearing it so brazen is beyond maddening.
He's happily boasting on TV that the trial is going to be a sham and he's actively colluding with the accused party to acquit them. The entire system is fundamentally broken.

I think it's become clear that things are only going to get worse. These guys only care about the career they are enjoying, not the people.
They don't even care about their careers. All that matters to them is making sure people suffer as much as possible.
Tom Daschle stated today he coordinated with the Clinton White House during his impeachment trial.
So, it's not without precedent.
It's all political and always will be.

Seriously...I've never despised anyone more. Fuck the GOP and their supporters. I don't understand how you can justify any of this bullshit.
He's trying to get the few that dislike the current admin to vote for him.
I don't know if I can bring myself to follow this as closely going forward. It's going to make me go insane.

If the USA exists as a unified country under the current Constitution in 15 years I will be highly surprised. The undemocratic Senate is going to destroy this country eventually unless it becomes proportional to the population of the country. Moscow Mitch would not even have a majority if the Senate had fair representation.
so since he is openly stating obstruction and collusion will happen, cant this legally (not saying it will because republicans) happen
In a normal reality, this would be enough to remove this garbage, shit-heel, dirtbag, traitorous motherfucker.
For something to be illegal it has to be forbidden by a law.
This is all that defines the Senate trial.
"The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. 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.Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States; but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law."
This is a political process and playing politics isn't illegal.
Mitch is the danger. While Trump has been in office, he's been swearing in federal judges left and right for lifetime positions. Even if we get a progressive president in 2021, they'll run right in into Mitch's goons.
This dude is a complete monster.
No. But the precedent was set by the Dems.
This is why when shit like this goes down, there needs to be laws set during the "off years" in between political show trials to make them more bipartisan by law, rather than partisan based on the whims of the majority party at any given time.
Hopefully the entire impeachment process in the senate wakes up a significant portion of the electorate next year. It's going to be truly disgusting to see unfold.
