Mitch McConnell set up the rules for the Senate’s current impeachment hearing so that there would be an early vote on whether to call witnesses, or simply proceed to an up or down vote on impeachment. Either way, the result is foreordained, just as the impeachment process itself was foreordained when the Democrats captured the House in 2018. The president will be exonerated.
The vote on whether to proceed with witnesses apparently will take place on Friday. I assume that McConnell thought it would be easy to get 51 votes in favor of terminating the Senate proceeding, but John Bolton’s ill-timed and ill-advised tell-all book

It's past time to end this farce. And while they are at it they should expel this lying, evil insult to humanity Adam Schiff. He has been lying all the way through the Senate hearing and every one of the House members from Pelosi all the way down to the bottom of the barrel knows it. What and who does it take to start censure proceedings and removal of this slug?

The radical Dems playbook never changes. Last second bomb shells: Justice Thomas, candidate Trump, Justice Kavanaugh to name a few. These people ruin lives and families at the drop of a hat. Pure evil as they lie and bear false witness. The mainstream media is in cahoots with them. Media=Democrats.

McConnell should have shut this show down the day after the worthless articles were marched over to the Senate. They don't call him "The Turtle" because he looks like one.

Time for the referee to throw in the towel and call the fight as the other side will fight until further brain dead.
Interesting piece of trivia: If the Republicans take back the House in January 2021, as they should, the first order of business --- namely H.R. #1-21 --- could be a bill to rescind the impeachment vote take the year earlier! They vacate their own order and overrule themselves. The 2018 record stands as a footnote and the world will get the message. In fact, the new House could vote to investigate Schiff, Nadler, et. al . and even censure them.
Karma can be such a mean queen.

It has finally occurred to these rino Republicans. Until the impeachment trial is ended there can be NO Senate business conducted. The House joke has effectively shut down the entire Senate of the USA.
No judges can be approved, including a Supreme Court judge.
If Ginsberg should die and Trump appoints a replacement, they could conduct no advice and consent.
Then if they steal the 2020 election, they can put their judge in.
It finally has hit em between the eyes.

"I think it’s important to hear from Mr. Bolton,” Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) told reporters Wednesday. Why is that, Pierre?
And as for you, Bolton, you little weasel, having sold your soul to the left, maybe Ukraine can offer you a job spying on the Trump campaign.
Shut this circus down...now.

Two points that Collins and others need to make when on camera:
1) A prosecutor does not go into court and demand the jury get to the facts of his/her case and call witnesses - it is the prosecution's job to make their case.
2) The chief justice is not there as a one man court to make decisions regarding witnesses or anything else. He is nothing more than a moderator. The person enforcing Robert's rules of order does not get to vote in the proceedings.

We can't rest easy until this is shut down. Even then, expect "new revelations" all the way to election day.

Regardless of political persuasion, if we had responsible leaders, impeachment would never have found its way out of the House. There was never any crime. Instead we had people playing power politics instead of governing. If this is all the Democrats can do, they aren't fit to govern. These hearings have been a farce. This isn't an impeachment hearing, its a coup.
Said it before, and will say it again: End it now!

If San Fran Nan announced tomorrow that she had seen an apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary who mouthed the words "quid pro quo" in support of Mr. Trump's removal from office, it would not surprise me. And half the country would believe the old gas bag (i.e., San Fran Nan) -- including Chuck Schumer, who would then pledge to convert from Judaism to Roman Catholicism. THAT is less far-fetched than what ye ole Democrat Party is saying about Mr. Trump.

What they don't understand and have no fear of, is one day they will stand before a Holy God and answer to Him. Repentance is what is needed, just like the thief on the cross.

I would say so, if the amusing Sen. Scott from Florida is releasing a hostage video. He speaks for a whole lot of people in this nation, I hope he realizes that. Not just this current farce, but the entire three years of this presidency.

If Mitch doesn't shut this down tomorrow I'm seriously considering its time to pack up the Grand Cherokee and start driving to D.C. If TK and I swap drivers and keep going, we might just make the Capitol by Monday. How would our august elected "representatives" react to 3, 4 or 5 rallies-worth of citizens showing up in front of the Capitol and surrounding the White House? He's fighting for us and, by God, we're ready to fight for him!
MAGA - Our President is staying right where he is!

Hinderaker must be kidding. When the swamp / Left exist on a diet made entirely of farce, any real effort to pull the plug on it will have to overcome swamp creatures fighting for their lives to prevent it.

Also pull the plug of the democrats in November. They are beyond a disservice to our Country. I consider him a lying traitor. Overall, I have never seen such a large group of uncouth democrats in my life. May they all get one way tickets hell, in steerage class. I am in great hopes this farcical impeachment trail is over by Saturday, with Donald J. Trump vindicate, INNOCENT.

This is a fake trial. The House Managers seem to have been fed the questions IN ADVANCE. How, otherwise, would they be able to play selected videos when they're asked a question as Crow is doing right now? And how come Nadler, Lofgen and others go to the podium with pre-written answers which they READ while keeping their heads down and eyes focused on what they've written? WHEN did they have tome to write their 5 minute responses? Fake, fake, fake! No wonder the Managers all have bags under their eyes. They were up all night writing their responses to questions that would be asked today.

Just end this farce. Now the excuse is Bolton's book. Next week it will be something else the demRats have under the table. The criminals in congress do not realize how angry the country is. They are pushing us to the limit.
