    He could have walked into the House proceedings at any point and testified but he only cares about himself.

    Fuck his base. They don’t matter and should never be considered on anything ever.

    You pretend like there's variance in his base. Fuck off with catering to them one bit

    I said when he was elected there was no way he was leaving office without either a general strike and massive action in the streets (meaning citizens will have to be willing to lose their jobs and their lives) or an economic collapse where the other wealthy power brokers start losing money and push him out.

    I'm more convinced of this today. There is no fucking way he's leaving office if he loses this fall (if there's even a fair election) and the GOP controlled Senate won't do anything about it.

    yeah, it's our fractured and broken "base" (if there even is one at this point) that I'm worried about.

    so trial is being held up right now because Mitch is arguing with Trump over when to finish the trial. Obviously Trump wants it now and Mitch is pushing for next week.

    Yes, this is what Claire mccaskill said on msnbc. Basically Schumer will start throwing stuff out again unless a deal is struck. Mitch needs 51 votes to change rules though.

    It’s strange that the coverage of this is almost universally framed as if Republican senators voting to hear witnesses is the equivalent to voting to kick trump out of office.

    So the best possible outcome now is Bolton going on air before a vote is taken. Won’t happen, but that would be awesome, because they are on record not to hear him and will have to hear him before the vote is taken. Never happen though.

    They couldn’t even do the easy vote for witnesses - knowing that they completely control the witness list. They could have voted for witnesses and only called Hunter Biden.

    They couldn’t even do that.

    They already know he is guilty and will acquit anyway. Having that openly corroborated just makes them look like even bigger feckless goons.

    It's just mind blowing that this has to even be voted on. Presenting fucking witnesses and evidence is essentially what a trial is. The founding fathers done goofed.

    There’s nothing that stops the House from subpoenaing Bolton, have him testify publicly, then resubmit a new article with the new testimony is there?

    Just listened to this. This guy fucking sucks so much. He still says he doesn’t support using the words “lie” and “racist.” “It’s more powerful to just put it out there and let the ready come to that realization.”

    You’ve learned absolutely nothing, dipshit.
