    They just keep shooting themselves in the foot, and only stopping to reload...



    I'm not sure if these people are this STUPID, or so ARROGANT that they think they can foist this crap on "the American People"....

        And the defense attorney would quickly object to this nonsense, the Judge would sustain the objection and instruct the jury to disregard the idiotic argument, but.... as we well know, juries often "latch onto" whatever the judge tells them to disregard.

        The Democrats are repeating this crap because they hope the American people (the jury) will buy into it. The Senate didn't.

          The problem is, as we've seen among members of our own small community here, there are some people who really are stupid or ignorant enough to believe it. It's why I say that idiot politicians don't bother me as much as the fact that the people who vote for them are even stupider.

                            • That's just the old liberal trick of accusing others of what they themselves are guilty of. Our Founding Fathers actually warned against the sort of impeachment spectacle the Democrats have put together.

                                Tomorrow, Trump will explain what he has done for you in the last year. Remember to root at the appropriate times.
