Just another data point in how much of a hypocrite Graham is. He and Bolton are the brand of war mongering interventionist. Just shows that even John fucking Bolton is more principled than Graham.
Seems very likely Mitt and Collins vote for witnesses. Will there be two more? Even so White House is going to do everything they can to keep Bolton from appearing
It was about the GOP cancelling their presser today, otherwise they may be asked about Bolton. Fucking cowards.
I kinda want to say yes but it's republicans so most likely no one does. What bolton said would end most presidencies. Especially when he gets on the stand and says the same thing under oath.
From a DK email: At the start of the impeachment trial, U.S. senators took the following oath under penalty of perjury: "Do you solemnly swear that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of Donald John Trump, president of the United States, now pending, you will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws, so help you god?" Senate Republicans, however, have blown off the proceedings. A few hours into Rep. Adam Schiff's presentation on the first day, there were 21 empty seats—while other senators were clearly not paying attention with fidget spinners & crossword puzzles. We don't have video footage, because Mitch McConnell prohibited TV cameras from showing the senators during the trial proceedings. At least two Republican senators—Josh Hawley & Marsha Blackburn—even stepped out of the gallery in the middle of the trial, to do live interviews on Fox News. And in the case of Blackburn, she even tweeted out insults about a key witness during the trial—when the Senate rules say she's not supposed to have electronic devices in the gallery. Your Republican senators need to be reminded they took an oath under penalty of perjury. Send them a copy of the oath they took by signing the petition. Click to send them the oath
Is there a threshold of polling that shows people want Trump removed that makes the senators rethink this? Like if we get to 75%+ does it change the math for any of them?
Gotta give Collins credit for the master class in deflection and faux seriousness. “Hey I was gonna ask those guys for witnesses later this week all along.”
The calling John Bolton a Liberal snake motherfucker in order to discredit him play hit fox this morning
Oh ffs. I feel like I'm probably one of dozens of ppl in this state that would vote against him Spoiler
did yall see that trump sent this tweet about 2 hours after Obama's tweet got over 1 million likes? he's so goddamned petty and jealous, it'd be funny if he wasn't buttfucking this country to hell
He trusts whoever is on the other side of the glory hole. At least they finish quickly so his knees don’t get too sore.
I have a strong disdain for Maggie. I’m sure she’s a good journalist, but it seems like she’s constantly playing games.
Had a bunch of trumptards on my TL post shit like “who cares he was an accused rapist” and “hOw MaNy TrOoPs HaVe We LoSt” type shit. So badly wanted to post Trump’s tweet there along with reminding them that Trump is a serial predator but they have mashed potato brains and it’s a hopeless discussion.
She so uncritically accepts whatever her sources tell her without realizing they are constantly manipulating her to discredit the administration’s critics. She’s more than willing to turn herself into a Manhattan version of Sarah Huckabee Sandra to keep her access.
The thing that makes absolutely zero sense about the senate trial is this "need" of witnesses. They're pretending as if people didn't give testimony in the House investigation. But somehow when they do it in the Senate, it will be different. If I was a democrat, I would just use my time to re-read those testimonies from the House investigations.
