I feel like next up on the journey to “I guess I have to like Mitt Romney now” is him actually cold cocking one of the deplorable senators.

And we’ve circled back to “Well, maybe it will make Trump mad?” Great.
I’ve been kicking about a way for dems to message the impeachment trial when GOP comes up with their disingenuous bullshit
GOP: This is a yuuge waste of time. We need work on things that really matter: COVID, budget, etc.
Dems: You’re right. If y’all weren’t being so corrupt and unwilling to convict an obviously guilty man, we wouldn’t be having this problem. This should have been open and shut days ago. If you just did your jobs, we could move on to that other stuff.

If it gets him to testify, sure.
This is my understanding. Both sides will likely get same number but each witness has to be approved by a simple majority.
The republicans can offer up a ridiculous list of witnesses but as each is voted down by both sides it’s going to be even more silly.
Good news is senate is recessed next ten days so wouldn’t be working on anything else anyways.
I maintain they should vote on Mitt Romney’s legitimately good child credit legislation.
I think the House Managers have control of the ball, and the defense won’t be able to call unlimited numbers of irrelevant witnesses.

The jury is brazenly corrupt and the the people who worked with Trump to encourage insurrection are publicly intimidating potential witnesses twitter.com/kyledcheney/st…
Rep. Taylor Greene unloads on Rep. Herrera Beutler, calling her fellow Republican “a tool as a witness for the Democrats” and warning that Trump allies “are watching.” https://twitter.com/kyledcheney/status/1360633404912504832/photo/1

Can MTG be removed now for openly threatening her fellow house members?
“Philly Delphia” may be the worst part about that entire outburst.

Lol @ “decided.” Don’t mean this as an attack against your post, just the concept of this being any kind of decision by McConnell. It’s not a decision if he was not considering any other option besides acquit. There’s not a word for this in English, but I imagine there’s a German word that describes the unmasking in a Scooby Doo episode where at the end of the episode the police officer pulls off his own mask to reveal he’s the villain just before he strolls back to the precinct.

Here for lolz. Embarrass the crap out of them. They more they say they threaten to call 300 witnesses the more shook they are.
Make em squirm. They will still acquit but give them the big F U and then do some good work post acquittal wo the “Philly Buster”.
