🍑 Here we go. The Impeachment trial of Donald John Trump continues

1/
McConnell said he expected several hours with one quick break in the middle.

2/
Cipollone plans to be done by dinner time. First Philbin will speak, then Sekulow. After that Cipollone will return.

Already I am bored

3/
Oooh. Though he calls Dersh's presentation "complete and compelling," Philbin feels the need to add on to it.

4/
Yawn

5/
Listening to him is like taking a sedative. I feel like I could get my teeth drilled without pain if the dentist piped in Philbin through the ceiling speakers

6/
Okay. I'm out of here for now. Will catch up on these arguments later.

Have a book to write.

🍑 The impeachment trial convened at 1:14 pm. Today the senators will ask questions of the House Managers and the president's defense.

Here's the card upon which they can write their questions

1/
During the opening prayer, Chief Justice Roberts looks troubled

2/
Each side will alternate with answers kept to 5 minutes.

Susan Collins is first. "I send a question to the desk on behalf of myself, Senator Murkowski, and Senator Romney."

💚 Warren in Muscatine, Iowa

“This is a hard time for our country. But I'm here today with you because I am filled with optimism. And the reason for that optimism is because I believe. I believe in you. I believe in us. I believe in the America we can build together.”

1/2
“I believe we can build an America in which every person has value. That we can build an America in which every child has real opportunity. That we can build an America where the most important part of democracy is not money, it's people. I believe in the America we can build”2/2

Every time I hear the Invocation by Chaplain Black, before the Donald John Trump Impeachment trial begins, I am overcome with a swelling heart at his words. He’s telling us daily, what should be done.
I wish everyone understood this.😔
Today’s Invocation by Chaplain Barry Black.
1/28/2020 at the Impeachment Trial of Donald John Trump
He begins:

Oh Lord. You are a rock of safety. Protect us in an unsaved world.
Guard us from those who smile, but plan evil in their hearts.
Use our Senators to bring peace and unity to our world.
May they permit godliness to make them bold as lions.
Give them a clearer vision of your desires for our nation.
Remind them that they borrow their heart beats from you each day.

Today is the first day of arguments (without witnesses or documents, in an historic Fascist First) in the Mostly Moot Impeachment Senate Trial of Donald John Trump. So I will start a new thread here. #ImpeachmentTrial
Since the Repubs have set the rules so that no actual deliberations will take place, I'll tend to go a bit meta in this thread, writing of the background and intentions as well as noting whatever comes down with the gavel. #ImpeachmentDay
The trial started with an absurd display of piety, as a minister intoned a prayer to his god, claiming that he was omniscient ("You know our thoughts before we think them") but then reminding it of its duty. I suppose the god is getting old and forgetful then #ImpeachmentTrial

This thread will explain the step-by-step process of the House of Representatives transmitting articles of #impeachment against President Donald Trump to the US Senate. #ImpeachmentTrial
Wednesday, January 15, 2020 at 5:30 pm, Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, signed the articles of #impeachment while flanked by the 7 House impeachment managers: Schiff, Nadler, Lofgren, Jeffries, Demings, Crow, & Garcia.
Early morning, Thursday, January 16th, procedures are implemented to recognize the solemn event about to transpire. Capitol police wear more formal attire and limitations on movement & ‘no walking and talking’ restrictions are placed on the press.

🤯“Manu, you’re a liberal hack. I’m not talking to you.” That’s Arizona’s unelected senator @SenMcSallyAZ dripping w/ fear & loathing, choosing to smear veteran @CNN reporter @mkraju, to avoid answering his question about #impeachment trial evidence. Sad.
There’s so much awful in @SenMcSallyAZ’s attack on @CNN reporter Manu Raju, but what’s striking to me is how she calls him by his name, while refusing to even look at him, during her walk-by smear. It’s as if she’s a nasty Twitter troll who thinks it’s fine to demean & intimidate
@SenMcSallyAZ @CNN I agree, Arizona voter. Republican Senators have 1 last chance to show they serve the PUBLIC—not the GOP or the president—in this profoundly serious impeachment trial. Choosing party & Trump over facts & country is a death blow to our democracy. Blood will be on GOP hands forever

This is not hearsay.

@realDonaldTrump was the first and best witness in this case.

@realDonaldTrump admitted to his wrongdoing and corrupt intent on national television.

@realDonaldTrump IS the smoking gun.
@realDonaldTrump His obstruction of Congress and blanket directive to deny us even a single witness, a single document, is unprecedented. Yet, in spite of that obstruction, multiple patriots came forward and provided damning, corroborating testimony.
@realDonaldTrump Understand the seriousness of what this means: @RealDonaldTrump has solicited foreign interference before. He is doing it now. He will do it again.

The smoking gun is already re-loaded and whether or not it gets fired—that is up to us.

Okay y’all, here we go (again). The Senate is voting on #Trump’s bill to reopen the government.

#ShutdownVote
Doesn’t look like it’s gonna make it, y’all. It needs 60 votes to pass and we’re already at 46 No votes.

Shocker.

#Trump #ShutdownVote
Now for the Dem’s bill to reopen the government. It already passed the house. Likelihood it will pass the Senate? Slim. Likelihood it will get signed by #Trump even if it does?

Well, I’d say slimmer, but dude wants to go on TV next week, so who knows?
