[corbe]

   I had to give up over an hour ago and smoke a joint the stupidity was beyond my comprehension.

Just want to go on record now, so I can pull this tweet from the archives later:

Trump will not be removed from office (obviously)

Trump will win re-election.

And Democrats will impeach Trump *AGAIN* in his second term

Because they are nuts

By another vote of 53-47, Republicans kill a Democratic motion to subpoena State Department records and documents for the impeachment trial.

This impeachment sham is blowing up quicker than I thought.

They brought knives to a gun fight.

They’re toast!

Not if the Dems lose the House.
The loss of the House would be a stake through the heart of all this 'impeachment' mania.

Lamar!'s DC
 phones never answered today, I called back to the local office and the dim bulb there said, "Yes, they're very busy today."

If he jumps ugly on this, I will make it my life's work to remove his name from every thing it has been attached to. I know of a state park that recently got his name on it.

That would be wonderful, but I'm just hoping that the GOP keeps the Senate.

"This is an affront to the House, which has full power to see these documents." - House Impeachment Manager Demings

If it's such an affront to the House, why do House Democrats want the Senate to fight their battle for them.

If the House is in the right, then stand up & fight!

I just want every Democrat to remember today, really take in how dishonest, ruthless and insane their whole #resistance sham has been

And remember it when Trump is celebrating his re-election, because the Democrats earned every second of 4 more years of Trump.

Every. Second.

@mystery-ak

And they SO desperately needed to run on a "Trump has been impeached,let's remove him from office!" platform.

This is a truly landmark year for the Dims. EVERY candidate they have for president is either an actual Communist,or a Open Borders Globalist. They are not even pretending to be pro-America anymore. When they lose to Trump,it may cause the collapse of the Dim Party because Clive and Chrissy Clueless are likely to finally wake up and ask "What the HELL was that all about?",and actually get answers.

They are already starting to lose black votes due to their favoring illegal aliens over blacks,and you can bet the farm that Trump is going to do everything he can do to shut down the flow of illegals into the country,and to give the boot to the ones that are already here.

Truth to tell,I think this is going to be a VERY interesting Presidential election because I honestly think the DNC is going to DEMAND Bubbette! Clinton stick her cloven hoof into the ring because ALL the other candidates are even bigger losers,and she MIGHT have a chance of winning if she can get Bubba cleaned up and out on the road to campaign for her.

Then again,neither she nor Bubba has ever ran against an opponent who wasn't afraid to identify them for the self-serving evil creatures they are,so this could be fun to watch.

Did Schumer just try to get a vote on calling one witness?  McConnell stood his ground and Tabled it.

None of us can figure out why @SenSchumer
 is making all these duplicative amendments. Best guess is the seven House managers each demanded time to argue on television. Four down, so don’t be surprised to see three more amendments. Typical politicians.

Well,you really didn't expect to see Chuckie get up there,shrug,and say "We got nothing" into the microphone,did you?

Not to worry,Dims. After all,Trump ain't the kind of guy that would try to get even.

My hunch is he's already one step ahead of them.

Dems are forcing these doomed votes -- to subpoena Mulvaney, etc -- for a reason.

The reason:

If they fail to get witnesses later, they will have put the most vulnerable GOP senators (Collins, etc) on the record opposing testimony from material witnesses.

NPR was complaining today that the way the Senate only uses one camera and focuses on the person speaking and doesn't show reactions of the others is unfair because it makes the proceedings look boring.

WTF?  This ain't entertainment TV you bunch of dweebs.

It's NPR. Their members are entertained by documentaries on 1930's trade union literature and United Nations conferences on sub-Saharan agricultural development.

Which is to say: the bar is set really low. So if a bunch of Zabar's-shopping, locally-sourced, non-GMO certified, grass-fed, fair-trade, citified neurotics claim to be bored by something, then you can bet that they are lying their skinny asses off.

Well, it might just have been the Scotch talking.
