It's over? Yes it is over, the senate rejects impeachment - it's over - for now?

I am pretty amazed that any GOP voted for witnesses, but you know, ,Romney, and the gal from Maine, they are probably deep in some swamp type activity. Whatever guys, for now this is OVER.

thehill.com...


Surprised that I was the first, my apologies to those that can offer more sentences at this point, but I am pretty happy about this. At this moment, I am happier in a political sense than I was when the guy was elected. WHEN THE MUSICS OVER! Thank all of you out there for supporting this man and a leader that finally gets what has been going on for the last 5 decades. I hope to whatever God there is, that his mission keeps going without interruption.

Nope - just breaking due to GOP infighting, the final impeachment vote has been delayed until Wednesday, so Trump should delay the SOTU address until Thursday...

The Hill - Senate delays final impeachment vote until Wednesday

NB: The vote just taken was for the calling of witnesses, not for the acquittal.

In the words of Mrs. Lili Von Shtupp "it's twoo! It's Twoo!"

In response to the concerns of moderates who want to follow the model of the 1999 Clinton impeachment trial, which set up 25 hours of closed-door deliberations, Senate GOP leaders floated the idea of having time for deliberations starting Monday. But under one proposal senators would have gotten 10 minutes each to speak on the articles of impeachment against Trump.

Moderate GOP is certainly a thorn, however, this is simply finishing things off, in essence, each Senator will give their 2cents for 10 mins on the Articles, afterwhich, it'll ultimately be done by Weds.

Trump should indeed hold off the SOTU address until for maximum gloat.

I can't wait for the SOTU! I'm bummed that Trump won't be "vindicated" during it! But, there is no doubt we will be seeing Trump leashed like never before!

I'm sure it will be a sight to behold. Too bad it isn't Easter, so he could rise again! LOL

Not sure about those odds, but I am betting imaginary money that the 49ers will win on Sunday.

Who wants to bet with me that Trump will not wait and will give his State of The Union address on Tuesday?

Are we taking bets on the amount of days after acquittal, until he gets impeached again by the crazies in the House?
Its not over until the dems loose their majority. So vote wisely.

so this is the face of loosing poorly?

I mean, what does it matter? The Democrats lost.

The Senate not only rejected witnesses, but in order to maintain some parallels to the Clinton impeachment, they requested 10 mins apiece regarding the Articles before the final vote, scheduled Weds.

McConnell was just trying to end things, without deliberation, this afternoon, however the Moderate GOP felt a final closing opinions wouldn't hurt before the inevitable vote to Acquit.

Trump can postpone the SOTU if he wants as well.

You still LOSE.

So...more fake "bombshell" leaks to the NYT on Monday & Tuesday?

There is now speculation that Nancy Pelosi will not let President Trump deliver the State of the Union Address in the US House while he is undergoing an impeachment trial.

I think she is afraid to let him lay out all the accomplishments of his administration the day before Democrats vote Yes on impeachment. That will further illuminate how crazy they are

No, not at all. No one ever thought that the Democrats had the votes for witnesses, and no one ever thought that Mitch McConnell was going to allow anything but a no to witnesses. There was never a doubt in anyone's mind that Trump is going to be acquitted.

I'm a news junkie and waiting for the spin off show. Trump's vindication will be a grand volcano of gloat, blame and bluster, It promises to be very entertaining. Trump isn't anything if not entertaining. The SOTU address would be much richer and more entertaining if Trump could gloat his vindication during that speech.

It wouldn't hurt him, either or, none of that benefits nancy.

Great, we saw how that worked out for her last time!

That old bag has been squeezed too many times,
she really should give it a rest.

As for the vote to call no new witnesses, good on the
Republicans for sticking together. I think they are
all too sick of Adam Schiff.
