This whole thing is such a ****ing clown show.

Schiff warns of Russian attack on US mainland, as Day 2 of Trump's Senate impeachment trial concludes

Schiff has no problem working with Russians. And I thought that working with foreign entities to obtain dirt on your political opponent was a big no-no.

Schiff insinuated that Ukrainians died because military aid was held up for a few weeks which there was never any data to back that up. Also Schiff and the Democrats claimed that it was a threat to our national security which is a load of crap.

How come there was never that concern for our national security when Obama refused to send military aid to Ukraine when the Russian/Ukraine hostilities were at their peak?

There is no more of a threat now than there was back then.

Oh, and 24 hours over 3 days for opening statements?

Absurd.

That does sound like an absurd waste of time. There were reports that Schiff basically began repeating himself throughout the course of opening statements yesterday.

 

[HoughMade]

I have tried a bunch of jury trials, a bunch with more complex issues than the impeachment.

Once, once, we had 90 minutes for opening. In most longer trials (over a week) we get 45 minutes, 30 minutes is common and even 15 minutes is not unheard of.

Heck, on Law and Order, they do it in like 2 1/2 minutes.

This is politicians in love with their own voices, not a statement designed to introduce your side of the dispute.

Absurd.

Made for TV and to create soundbites for ads. I suspect that in their arrogance they think they will win the PR fight even though they have consistently lost it based on polling, not MSM adoration. My thinking is McConnell is giving them plenty of rope to hang themselves with...

HoughMade I have never witnessed a real trial are all this boring?

I think the Senate is in the process of officially discovering 'this impeachment is crap'. 'WTF do we do with crap?'No Senate has ever had to deal with such a crap impeachment before so they will be setting a precedent for how to deal with crap impeachments in the future. This may become important if there are more of these crap impeachments or if they even become common.

I think they issue summary judgement aquitting the accused of all charges, thus setting a precedent for future bull**** impeachments. The people who will be incensed by that won't have their vote changed in 2020 but future generations would thank [STRIKE]them[/STRIKE] [the senators]

This is why you don't do opening for 3 days. After about 30 minutes, you're repeating things.

...and some trials are boring, but most are at least moderately interesting.

More complex than the justification for removing a nation's leader, the most powerful person in the world, based on ambiguous language from a 200+ year old document? That's a tough one for me to see Hough.

Are you still at it?
Man do you have a bad case of denial..... among other things.

I kinda thought my comment was non-partisan, simply explaining the seriousness of an impeachment trial. Oh and my name isn't Egypt.

I was on a couple juries and since I don't see trials very often I found the whole process fascinating.

It's a difficult issue, not a complex one. There's a difference.

It sounds like you might be referring to a valid impeachment trial with crimes and stuff and not this dog-and-pony political farce going on now.

“The President's misconduct cannot be decided at the ballot box, for we cannot be assured that the vote will be fairly won,” -Adam Schiff says during his opening statement.

"Impeach him or else he'll win" kinda gives the game away

Yes. A really good one.
