Miles Archer
(18,837 posts)Now it's not a maybe.
No Super Bowl victory lap with Hannity.
No smirk-fest at the SOTU.
I don't even want to SEE the damned SOTU...he KNOWS what the outcome will be on Wednesday. My guess is that he'll be even MORE belligerent if he hasn't been "fully exonerated" by McConnell.
Habibi
(3,598 posts)ETA: For the first time since his "election," I'm kind of looking forward to him losing it during the SOTU. At least we'll have that.

(86,842 posts)he's gonna hang himself. This is the genius of timing! And I love Speaker Pelosi for it!
She's got his number and a the joy stick in hand for this next week. And she really didn't have to say anything since the Trial began.
Miles Archer
(18,837 posts)He'll have Speaker Pelosi and Adam Schiff in attendance. He will not be able to resist taking shots at them, direct or indirect. He's walking into the lions' den. He will lose it, one way or another.

(86,842 posts)so you know he'll shit on the carpet.

(25,987 posts)Let him make a fool of himself - again. To see him do so in front of both houses of Congress and the world suits me fine. Then Senators have to vote after such a show? It might not change a thing but it will leave the Repubs looking even worse than they do now.
Good.

(10,275 posts)If hes dumb enough to try and turn the US Congress into one of his stupid MAGA(t) rallies, he will get fucking KILLED in November.
Dont forget, the last time a republican government was this incompetent, a black man got elected as punishment. This time, it will be a socialist or a woman.
'Please proceed', Misters McConnell and Trump.. you idiots lol!

(15,179 posts)was a tiny bit concerned about the optics of running a fake trial, hurrying the ending just so The Orange One could crow at the Super Bowl, Hannity, and at the SOTU.
He doesn't care enough to actually hold a real trial, but he may be trying to minimize the looks of it.
Dunno. Oh. And Fuck You Mitch.

(34,661 posts)getting in his face during a meeting this afternoon,shortly after Moscow Mitch announced Votes on Guilt or innocence would be held on Wednesday afternoon. Remember,it is all about the Rethug Optics,knowing the blow back is immense.
leftieNanner
(15,179 posts)I've always thought he was a bit of a weenie, but he has stood up nicely during this process. There's not much he can do with a 3 member deficit. But that will all be different this time next year!

Dems also get to offer 4 amendments tonight.
I suspect McConnell did not have the votes in his own caucus to proceed with a plan and therefore needed to negotiate with Schumer for Dem support. Otherwise there is no way Dems would've gotten the extra days and ability to present amendments.
And, really, who knows what can happen in the next 4 days or so with news breaking so quickly that could change everything?
