Moscow Mitch Is The First to Blink

January 21, 2020 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Okay, so remember that 24 hours of opening arguments had to take place over two days?

McConnell amended his organizing resolution for President Trump’s impeachment trial by giving each side three days to make their opening arguments, which can last for up to 24 hours, the same amount of time given to the prosecution and defense during the 1999 impeachment trial of President Clinton.

But, in exchange for blinking, he ordered that …

 

 

What about the kool-aid?

  1. No coffee? Cruel.

    Rep. Adam Schiff, et al, have been kicking Moscow Mitch Mc’Roo and his klan’s sorry lying asses all over the Senate chamber.

    Of course it will still end as the fanciest, most expensive kangaroo court in history, with Comrade Dump crapping his way out of it.
    Notice how ‘TPTB’ conveniently slipped Donnei out of the way over to Europe, and his tweeter has been mighty quiet too, so far.

  3. Wonder how many senators will suffer a case of the dt’s or shakes with such an extended time of sobriety?

  5. Well mitch’s plan to protect susan collins is in place.
    As I read it to call and present witnesses will require at least 3 votes.
    The first to even consider any witnesses
    the 2nd to consider a specific witness
    3rd to issue a sibpoena to a specific witness
    4th to decide whether witnesses information, after secret deposition, is relevant.
    So by mixing and matching vulnerable senators votes they can claim to have voted for a witness on any one step and then vote against witness on different step.
    With partisan judge sworn to protect his tin god demented donnie to break any “ties” that means that on any motion moscow mitch can allow up to three (or four depending on how dediciated munchkin from west virginia is to protecting demented donnie) to appear to vote for allowing a witness on any 1 step of the process while ensuring that in the end no witness appears.
    That will be the protection clause for vulnerable r’s in the impeachment rules.

    And Sen. Lisa Murkowski waffles all over the place. She says she is voting against calling witnesses because she for calling witnesses. I call bullshit.

  9. Milk?
    Is that so Republicans can cozy up with a Pure White Russian (hold the Kahlua) while they think no one’s looking?

    It’d be a twofer. One for the base (white) and another for the videotape blackmailers (Russian).

  10. The Surly Professor says:

    Has this kind of milk or water restriction ever been placed on the Senate floor before? I can understand for filibusters restricting Senators from wearing paisley bathrobes and setting up cots, mini-fridges, and stoves while reading the complete works of Dr. Seuss. But for an impeachment trial?

    I can also understand requiring Republican Senators to restrict their killing and eating of small children and the poor to their offices, but this is the kind of rule I’d find it astonishing to apply to any group of adults. Is there any history of this in either the Senate or House?

  11. 3 days?
    Did Moscow Mitch suddenly cotton on to the fact that holding the trial during prime time — when people are free to watch — wasn’t such a good idea after all?

    Oh, sure, they’re on the floor at 7 PM tonight, when it was too late to change the day’s schedule. But what do you want to bet that the Democrats, at least, will be relegated to standard work hours from tomorrow onward while Republicans will get prime-time air?

    As to the milk & water ruling —- hey, Rick Scott is involved, so it’s bound to be hinky.

  12. Let’s call him Moscow Mitch McCoverup. Or as someone else said today, Midnight Mitch.

  13. I will leave the watching of this to people with stronger stomachs.

    The bovine feces smell still permeates through the cable feed…

  15. Sandridge @ 2:
    “Notice how ‘TPTB’ conveniently slipped Donnei out of the way over to Europe”

    All the closer to Russia. Depending on how the trial goes, he can just hop over a border or two, with the help of his good friend Vlad, and hole up for the rest of his miserable life.

    Oooorrrrrr —– this could happen:

    I’ve had one since beta in ’15, even the government types use it [D, R, and furriners too] for the really secure stuff [IE: WH peeps].

    Your email is kept unbreakably encrypted on servers way inside/under a Swiss mountain.
    About the safest stuff you can find.

    “ProtonMail is an end-to-end encrypted email service founded in 2014 at the CERN research facility … ProtonMail uses client-side encryption to protect email contents and user data before they are sent to ProtonMail servers, unlike other common email providers such as Gmail and Outlook.com….ProtonMail is run by Proton Technologies AG, a company based in the Canton of Geneva,[7] and its servers are located at two locations in Switzerland, outside of US and EU jurisdiction.[8]… Initially invitation-only, ProtonMail opened up to the public in March 2016.
    Data centres
    Architecture of a ProtonMail data centre.
    ProtonMail maintains and owns its server hardware and network in order to avoid trusting a third party.
    It maintains two data centres in Lausanne and Attinghausen (in the former K7 military bunker under 1,000 meters of granite rock) for redundancy.[38][41][42]
    Since the data centres are located in Switzerland, they are legally outside of US and EU jurisdiction. Under Swiss law, all surveillance requests from foreign countries must go through a Swiss court and are subject to international treaties. Prospective surveillance targets are notified and can appeal the request in court.[citation needed]

    Sandridge @ 16, I’ve also been with Protonmail and VPN for a couple of years. I love my email address xxxx@pm.me! So easy. I’m definitely a believer and wish more people I know would move over to it. I’ve shared this information often, but you are the first person who also talks about it! Nice to meet another pm user!

  18. 1smartcanerican @17, Yup, a geek for ~55+ years, pro & rec.
    I openly encourage PM just because*, the sneaky ones hiding stuff only whisper of it [yeah, rethugs use it, even ykw].
    I used to use PGP and others long before, but PM makes it easy.

    * If people only knew how intensively they’re spied on [and have been, going back many decades– but crude and limited until recently…].
