SO FAR the Senate trial has been painful to watch. That's because, SO FAR it has only featured Democrats from the House still desperately attempting to create a case for removing President Trump from office. Today is the last day of their arguments, but I don't expect anything new to come forth...they would have brought it out in the FIRST two days, if they had it. (In fact, what they've said in the first two days was "nothing new," EITHER.)
This is not to say I've watched every minute of their ramblings....who, besides newspeople who are PAID to watch it all, could or WOULD watch it all?? Who in their right mind would WANT to listen to Hakeem Jeffries ramble on and on, if they wanted to STAY in their right mind....unless it was their JOB to listen to the guy? (Well, maybe stoned-out Dems who are not in their right minds ANYway.) But here are some things that have been reliably reported by those who HAVE seen all of this "Trial That IS a Trial (to watch)".......
1.) Adam Schiff (pictured above), one of the House Impeachment MISmanagers, actually spoke for 2 and 1/2 hours one day. 2 and 1/2 hours!! I don't know if the most eloquent orator in the universe could hold my attention for more than an hour! And from the clips I've seen, the guy is BORING. He was boring in the HOUSE, why'd they make him an Impeachment MISmanager here in the SENATE?? Doesn't make sense. If a guy is hitless and struck out constantly in the FIRST round of the playoffs, you replace him on your roster in the NEXT round, right??
Schiff constantly says Trump "wants to be a King" but a REAL King would never be brought to trial by THESE oafs.
2.) The Dems constantly claim they want to "call witnesses" as if this was a "real trial." They just don't get it that the Constitution gives the SENATE the power to govern this trial. They HAD their chance, in the HOUSE, to call witnesses. They blew it. And if they want a "real trial," let the Dem Senators who are running for President RECUSE themselves from voting, because of Conflict of Interest. After all, if Trump WERE removed it would help their 2020 Presidential prospects, would it not? You want a "real trial" with WITNESSES, let's have a "real trial" with RECUSALS.
3.) Reports are that even LIBERAL pundits are mad at Dem Senators for NODDING OFF during presentations by their colleagues. Who can BLAME them, though, from what I've seen? The most exciting part of this phase so far was when Jerry Nadler said that the Republican-led Senate would "cover up" for Trump, Trump's lawyer publicly SCOLDED Nadler, and Chief Justice Roberts rebuked EVERYONE. (Unfortunately, those fireworks happened around midnight on the first night, and *I* was long asleep, Lol!!)
I do plan to watch the proceedings TOMORROW, though, when Trump's lawyers begin to tear the Dem's "case" to shreds.
And because it's SATURDAY, I may just have time to watch ALL or MOST of it.
Note: Since Monday, when I announced here that we'd be going to the Trump rally in Jersey next Tuesday, we've changed our minds. That is NOT due to our Governor's POLITRICKS* (Lol, see Monday's blog), but it's because of something else. We have learned that 100,000 of those tickets have been ordered...for a venue that only seats 7,400!! It's great that SO many New Jerseyans want to support Trump during his trial, but the chances that we'd get in are VERY remote considering the fact that we live so far away and people line up for "first come, first served" seating at 5 am (doors don't open till 3 pm.) In short, we don't want to stand outside in the cold for 8 hours, then risk having to stand outside for another 5 hours and watch Trump on a SCREEN. You see, the tickets we have only guarantee the POSSIBILITY of entry, not entry, itself.
So, Lord Willing, we'll watch the event on TV in the warmth of our home, and I'll wear my new Trump shirt THEN!!
* Thanks to JOHN for "Politricks," Lol!!
