Republican votes on whether it is Constitutional or not be damned; they've already ignored their own due process. They wouldn't break the law unless they knew the outcome of this impeachment.
This is a shit-show and no good will come of it.
Don't get upset, we already knew this was rigged from the start.
Trump has to look powerless. The more helpless Trump looks, the more their narrative of him being a dictator fall apart. People are waking up. The Military will be begged to step in and take these asshats to jail as they make up fairy tales before The People.
No reason to look powerless. He needs to defend himself
You can defend yourself and still look powerless.
He is gonna put up a hell of a defense, I'm sure of it.
But it won't matter. THAT is what makes him look powerless.
Rather, it will make Congress look like tyrants.
When? If they impeach him then when?
