#1 Just wait... there is more.

Indeed, Schumer and his colleagues have prepared the way to characterize any move to limit the trial’s scope as an effort to hide wrongdoing from the American people. “To engage in a trial without the facts coming out is to engage in a cover-up,” he said Monday.

The bottom line is: Republicans should not believe for one minute that the campaign to remove the president will rely only on the case Democrats have built in the House. Schumer and other party leaders will scramble for new information to throw at the president, and at Republicans, until it is over. The GOP, and the White House, need to be ready.

#6 But wait, Schiff-for-brains told us this was a matter of a clear and present danger to the nation. Now it’s only that if the Senate lets them have a massive new fishing expedition trial for television? One could almost think democrats are lying manipulating bastards who care only for the raw power to rule a socialist totalitarian nation, the Constitution be damned.
Gosh, if that were true wouldn’t they qualify for the “domestic enemy “ in their oath of office? What should be done if that were true?

#7 What should be done if that were true?

Armed popular march to congress to tar and feather them and run them out of town on a rail would be a good start.

#8 Wait a short while and they will return to their communities to beg for votes. Much easier to tar & feather them locally.
