Jerry Nadler must have missed the day in law school where they teach you about persuasion. The House Democrat made a critical error early in the trial of President Trump. He didn't just say that Republican senators, who voted to begin the proceedings without calling witnesses, were part of a cover up. He said they had committed treason: "So far, I'm sad to say, I see a lot of senators voting for a coverup. Voting to deny witnesses and obviously a treacherous vote. A vote against honest consideration of the evidence against the president. A vote against an honest trial. A vote against the United States."
Easy, Tiger. All Republicans did

He held back admirably for a lefty. Hr refrained from calling them racist, sexist, misogynist, transphobic, and haters. It had to have been hard for him as all those accusations seem to go together. He also didnt tell them to educate themselves or list off his college degrees. And he didnt call anyone a teabagger.

He got his law degree at night school. His history at Wikipedia shows he is one of the 7 most liberal in the Congress. I had forgotten his effort to impeach Bush and Cheney. A real piece of (bad) work.

The Demos are not looking beyond calling witnesses at the moment. Their plan is ALWAYS to get their proverbial toe-in-the-door. Once they do, they count on the media to carry their emotional arguments forward, poll like crazy, and then use selective polling results to say that the American people demand whatever it is the Demos want. They KNOW that getting Trump removed from office is hopeless so right now all they care about is the witness issue. Never mind that they told us previously that their case was a slam dunk---and now they claim they need more testimony.
Each Manager has his own style and Nadler's is to shame Republicans into voting for witnesses under the guise of "fairness." Sounds very much like a childhood poem I learned about The Spider and the Fly...

I cannot understand the Democrats insistence on calling witness's.
If they call witness's the Bidens an Obama, Muller, and others will appear and it will be a feces storm they will wish they never asked for.

Jabba the Hutt wasn't interested in persuasion. He was all about bullying and intimidation and having things his own way. Jerrold the Hutt is no different.

As usual, accusing the Republicans in the senate of doing exactly what he and Schiffhead did in the House. I often wonder why they don’t spontaneously combust when they pull these stunts.

There is plenty with which to disparage Nadler. Going to night school should not be one of them. Unless you have parents paying your ride, night school may be your only option. Having to work days, then doing years of going directly to class followed by hours of reading and study beyond that, is a Herculean task.

This impeachment trial is a "mainstream" Dem play to cover its collective butt from the AOC hordes coming over the horizon. The UNIPARTY has a major problem when the usual right-wing extremists are joined by the left-wingers. There's not enough left in the middle to maintain social docility, and the extremes are demanding their stuff, and more. On the "right" people are still deep into "security", whether border control or pursuing our 20 Year War in Iraq/Afghanistan. On lthe "left" it's about $$$, dissolving the shackles of overpriced education and massive student loans, saving the planet, and free medical care, not to mention "ending hate" and "division".
The UNIPARTY profiteers have been able to hold the middle over the years, and now their success as "conflict managers" is catching up with them, like a spreading fire. Both sides have portrayed themselves as defenders of right, protectors of good, and honorable persons. They are being exposed as profiteers, all of them, and they are losing control of their world. The barbarians, formerly useful idiots, are soon to be at the gates on both sides of town.

They had their chance for all the witnesses they needed when this was still in the House. As McConnell says, No Do-overs. You thought you could browbeat the GOP senators into bending to your will. You didn't reckon with their traditions, and how they protect their own power. Like the lawyer said last week, You aren't in charge here, this isn't the House.

Many years ago, Nadler looked like Jabba the Hut, now he just acts like Jabba. EVIL.

I know it isn't "fair" to criticize someone for their appearance. That said, what was pelosi thinking picking these two garden gnomes to represent the house on impeachment? I think she was intending to sabotage the process. Nobody could ever take these two freaks seriously.
