Is this one of those times Sundance where we mustn’t look away? I don’t think I can bring myself to watch it.
I’m with you.
It is an incredible farce. That Congress spends time on this tells you all you need to know about them. GOP is playing the game as if there was any reality to it!
Watch this hearing and tell me how the GOP is on our side and we should work with these bums! This is why we need a maga 3rd party!
Welcome to the taxpayer funded Trump smear. The first order of the day is to call it unconstitutional because the Chief Justice is absent from the proceedings.
The Chief Justice IS required to preside in the Impeachment of the SITTING President..there may be merits of this case to be argued in the future..better to recuse himself now.
2nd:
Everything they’ve done since “the coming down the golden escalator” is an exercise in testing to see how much taxpayers will go along with!…how much taxpayers will allow them to get away with! They, like children, will continue to push until they no longer get their way.
Taxpayers must find a way to cut their money!
I was hoping that CTH would post the Shampeachment. I will read the comments. Watching those unworthy to shine President Trump’s shoes commit all forms of defamation and deception against him is more than my constitution can take today. From the President’s side, I hope this is truly going to be the reveal of The Big Ugly we had always hoped to see.
This shows how low the country has sunk. Add to this the DDR like no mans land border around Congres. It has now become normal fact of life, media don’t even talk bout it anymore. Who would have ever think this would be possible prior to 4 November 2020?
It is the DC swamp that has sunk so low, it may sink so low it will disappear into depths of the Earth. The country will be watching from the sidelines as it goes under and cheers will be heard around the world. It will make an awful noise as it is sucked into the Earth.
A giant SUCKING SOUND…
there will be a giant sucking sound going south.
… when [Mexico’s] jobs come up from a dollar an hour to six dollars an hour, and ours go down to six dollars an hour, and then it’s leveled again. But in the meantime, you’ve wrecked the country with these kinds of deals

Louder with Crowder is doing a livestream (if you need some levity!) on youtube.
Got it on — thanks!
Thanks Amy. This is the only way I can endure this fiasco.
Keep in mind this Stalinist styled show trial has NOTHING to do with anything President Trump or the thousands upon thousands of engaged and informed Americans did in DC last month and EVERYTHING to do with the continuing attempt to cover-up the outright theft and nullification of votes for over 74 million Americans – the biggest crime in US history . . . . . AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT except the fools who want to be fooled.
Exactly. I will not dignify this sham by watching, knowing it is an attempt to punish me for my MAGA vote.
Coup, and treason.
If you put aside this election and examine before and after the election dates, you see two distinct factions. Them, us! They made no excuses before, Biden said it was a fraud before it was even
started.
Now, see how they have barricaded themselves in, said trump would do that, remember? Why did they say that? Why impeach? Why 14th if they fail?
He is still president until he concedes or they get him out.
There is no easy way out once the momentum turns, and it will.
Pray? Yes pray, it moves mountains. “The prayer of a righteousness man avail much” and we are the righteousness of God through Jesus shed blood.
All we need to verify their motivation is to hear them say that they are after Trump supporters to save the nation! Echoes of Hitler after he executed about 6K of his opponents! He went on to kill off millions. Sound familiar???
Criminals putting DJT in a Communist style shaming sham trial. They can all go fk themselves.
A.R. my man!
We already know that the Rats are human filth. I am interested in the seppuku by the duplicitous GOP. Today marks the end of the Republican Party. May it burn in hell.
Turtle goes through these motions as if it was normal.
Impeachment because he is still president. They know it, fence proves they know it.
This will end badly for the traitors I suspect they have no clue what they are doing, well, I know they have no clue. They have extended in pride, way over their place of true power.
I hope and pray you are right.
Good point. If they want the shampeachemnt that bad, then they have to overturn the election to get their day in the Senate.
I also wonder if they are impeaching because they are precluded from legislating. They got nothing better to do.
Still many cases going to courts on this ‘coup’ The msm will not even whisper a word of this.
Really? There are a gazillion crooks waiting to be approved by the Senate for Quid Pro Delusional Joe’s illegitimate Swamp gubt.
And they are all on hold, till shampeachment #2 ends. 🙂 🙂 🙂
… don’t need legislation… all you need is ” a pen and a phone”!
Well they certainly have created some “pens” in Washington. Sort of pigpens
No offense to pigs

Why the 14th amendment on an ex-president?
I think you are right. There is really no logical reason for this impeachment and trial…. AND… PDT was impeached for something they manufactured themselves, deliberately… and likely in order to be able to bar him from holding office– returning as POTUS to his lawful 2nd term.
The impeachment– and stopping Trump from holding office was never about 2024…. its about now, not some remote possibility 4 years from now.
The only logical reason they are impeaching and going forward w/the trial now is stop PDJT from returning to his post/WH as the lawful/true POTUS they know him to be.
Of course, that is the Congress committing a crime — obstruction of justice, among other crimes.
This is about their own survival. They fear Trump.
…and MILITARY…. know about it will se whats going happen next–3 -7 weeks…..
Excellent points. Pray it be so.
The gop seems hellbent on committing suicide so we will have to see.
”This will end badly for the traitors (…)”
Unfortunately, this is not what I’ve seen over the last four years.
Remember pride was lucifers downfall. I’m part will be theirs as well.
I have found no answer to my question. Why is the fence there and why are the NG still there? Who ordered this to continue? Biden? It’s a complete waste of money. Except for the golden children of Antifa and BLM, I haven’t seen one attack on DC from anyone else. What is the point of all this ‘guarding the palace’ garbage?
The fences are for show to propagate the narrative; the false narrative that MAGA is a violent movement. The fences are props for the fake story that MAGA followers are rioters.
I can’t bear to watch it.
You defame my President; you defame me.
I can’t even watch it.
So apparently today is a redundant vote to determine if the senate should proceed with their inquisition. Is it a 2/3 thirds majority or a simple majority to move forward?
Simple majority. They’ll be shy of that though.
I think so too, but creates lots of programing for the Mockingbirds
The danger of putting President Trump back in the news is that his popularity will go up even further in the polls. The Trump boomerang in action.
Yes, more free publicity for his great policies. They never learn.
“As a dog returns to his own vomit, So a fool repeats his folly.”
Proverbs 26:11 NKJV
The Democrat fools can’t help themselves.
we need to put the blame where it belongs: The Senate Republicans. Specifically McConnell. The 1st shampeachment was his show entirely. This one he shares with his buddy Schumer. Make no mistake, this staliinist show trial is being taken seriously because of McConnell. If he had told the truth and labeled it a show trial and REFUSED to do it, no one would care about it. The D’s might have FORCED the Senate R’s to go on with this time wasting farce, but EVERYONE would know its a FARCE.
instead, McConnell’s attacked Trump, let 5 RINO’s vote in favor of the trial (giving it bi-partisan cover) and pompously intoned how “The Senate” will take this nonsense seriously and might even convict. And NO, McConnell is NOT playing 4-D chess, he’s NOT “secretly” on Trump side (aka our side). Nor is he forced by the Constitution to do what he is doing.
McConnell will be remembered as a traitor to the values that are the foundation of our great republic. There is no virtue left that McConnell has not trampled in his vanity. I embrace Kentucky as my adopted state – that does not include McConnell.
I’m always astounded by what a creep McConnell is on a PERSONAL level. Yes, I understand politics is a hard business (Truman said “if you want a friend in DC, get a dog”) but as far as I can tell, Trump put McConnell’s wife in his cabinet, helped various Senators get elected, and always patted McConnell on the back in public. Yet, McConnell couldn’t wait to trash Trump after Jan 6th, showboat with Joe Biden, and support this stalinist show trial. The meanness – on a personal level – is rather disgusting.
Yes, it looks personal.
He may be jealous on a gut level, instinct.
PTrump has such an attractive, imposing presence. McConnell, on the other hand, is repulsive.
If he’s that unpopular, why can’t Kentuckians get rid of him? Seems that SOMEBODY would run against him. What about the your attorney general there. I really like him.
Maybe they have/did. Wasn’t one of the pings from C to KY? per Mary (?)’s presentation.
And, wasn’t there headlines in a larger KY city newspaper stating that the vote count was stopped in the middle of the night?
Maybe we need to go back and watch pillowman’s video and pay attention the red states that were pinged… might find answer to, why some are going along with this.
But the RNC ALWAYS says, we need every last R vote because look how bad the Dems are!
The RNC has kept Mitch in there. No one else.
❤❤❤❤❤ so much truth
So, when are Schumer and McConnell going to impeach Obama for the shooting of 12 Dallas Police Officers and killing 5 by a BLM ACTIVIST who was incited by Obama and the news media with constant false rhetoric over the Ferguson “Hands Up Don’t Shoot” hoax. President Obama incited ANTIFA and BLM riots all over the country. Where was the impeachment of President Obama?
ObamaSon.
A more sound charge legal would be Obama’s extra-judicial assassination of American citizens abroad.
The constitution specifically prohibits Bills of Attainder.
And, given that Biden was a party to that star chamber decision-making process, he should also be impeached.
Now that Biden is back in office, his personal papers should no longer be protected, as he claimed in the Tara Reade sexual assault matter.
Maybe Judicial Watch should start subpoenaing some of those records.
They just did, in the last day or so. With the Delaware Supreme Court.
About the same time that pink elephants start flying around in the sky
They can’t impeach someone who isn’t President. They know he is President. They are dumb, showboating and evil as the day and endless charade are long.
Very Important Question Can anyone tell me, definitively, if Biden is IN FACT the President? I am not trying to be ridiculous. The Inauguration, the National Guard and the flurry of Executive Orders certainly lead me to the conclusion that something is wrong. Lastly, the quick Impeachment and the stampede to have a trial certainly lead to my belief that Trump is in fact still President.
Lin, is that you ?
My thoughts, which are free to you so consider your cost, Is that Joe Biden is President of the defunct D.C. corporation and President Donald Trump is President of these United States of America. President Trump’s claim may take another election.
I’m with you and pray it is true.
Well I think we can all agree that “none of this seems right.” But let’s occam’s razor this for a moment.
The information about the huge amounts of election fraud is coming out. The military takeover in Burma due to election fraud has them VERY freaked out. And recently Time Magazine is “trying to get ahead of the story” by trying to spin the conspiracy as “fortifying the election.” and lots and lots of junk like that.
Put all of those things together, and I don’t come up with “Trump is still president” first and foremost because one has to be sworn into office to have a second term. So since Trump was not sworn in, he’s not president. And since Biden was sworn in, he is president.
As information comes out into the public consciousness (despite their best efforts!) the legitimacy of Biden will eventually get to a point where something is likely to happen… or perhaps that is simply their greatest fear keeping them up at night. By trying this shampeachment angle, they want to prevent the election results being awarded to Trump in the near future by rendering him ineligible to hold office once everything comes out.
But the simple facts are, Trump isn’t president because he wasn’t sworn in for his second term. And that’s a requirement. The legitimacy of Biden is another matter for debate and discussion.
Could he have been sworn in secretly? Although secret, honestly? Who says the president has to be sworn in on tv?
But the one wierd part about this “swearing in” —
It was done while President Trump was still the POTUS?
There was MORE THAN ONE weird part! What was presented to the public for consumption had a lot of fake parts. Anyone else catch that the military didn’t allow Fake Prez to touch the wreath at Arlington? Anyone else see the photo of Bill and Hillary that was so obviously NOT Bill and Hillary–unless they have changed heights, etc. Especially Hilldog–didn’t even look like her, even with the mask up to her eyeballs. So many other things. Something is not right.
Information about the fake election has to continue to enter the public sphere. Trial by public opinion if not by court. If a critical percentage of the public thinks fake joe is illegitimate, it should cause the fake joe hoax to collapse. That is my theory.
All I know is that something weird seems to be going on.
Late to the show this morning. I’m asking . . . I’ve looked and can’t find right now . . . Isn’t there wording in our US Constitution that if there is foreign interference in our presidential election (paraphrased), that the election results default to the current President until . . . ????? Also, didn’t the “Supremes” rule on that language last year or did I have a dream???
Purest contempt for these jackals.
God Bless You, President Trump!
I believe they will present a ton of lies about President Trump and then won’t allow his attorney’s the opportunity to present their defence. Then impeach him. We keep under estimating these traitors to our detriment.
Agree 100%. There is no one to stand against the Dems as the Republicans are with them. Also, what’s to keep the senators who will not be running for office from voting with the Dems against PDJT? The five who initially voted for impeachment, plus the six that are retiring and have nothing to lose would make 11 … only another 6 would have to flip to reach the 17 threshold of GOP senators who would have to join the Dems for impeachment to go through and then for the senate to vote to bar PDJT from ever holding office again. The number (17) to flip keeps shrinking.
Exactly. The jurors vote on admissibility of evidence, something that is, or should be, the sole province of the trial judge, In they case, though, the trial judge is also a juror.
Bingo. The passive belief that “they” couldn’t be that traitorous has to stop. They are and they don’t care if they are and who knows it. No one has ever stopped them and they are clever enough to game the system very handily while our side floats around complaining and playing limp wristed defense. They do what they want when they want to and have since Obama made his false entrance into the executive office. We cannot underestimate what lengths they will go to to get their way. Ever.
The railroading of private citizen Trump violates a couple clauses regarding impeachment. One) The Chief Justice shall (mandatory, as opposed to may)) preside over the impeachment of a president. Two) the remedies upon conviction being 1) removal from office and 2) removal from office plus can’t run for office again. Private citizen Trump is out of office so his situation can’t satisfy removal from office plus banned from office. Both conditions have to be met.
However, it is a kangaroo court and a railroad job. The rules and rules on motions will be such as to not allow a defense for the former president. Folks, the defense will not be entering the territory of election fraud, even if the defense team wants to go there. Bottom line is that the vote and conviction has already been determined regardless of any witness, any testimony, any defense argument.
Zydeco, you bring up one of the many reasons I insist on teaching grammar: the distinction between “shall,” “will” and “may.” Our language is glorious; words matter.
Thank you from another grammarian. I taught ESL to university level international students for years. They learned far more English grammar than our own students do.
Would love for Lin Wood and Sidney to just sit at defense table. How cool to see those two stride in
Not very.
Has Sidney commented on Judges Sullivan’s retirement?
I bet she doesnt at least for a bit
I hope they bring up, EARLY on, that we are here today because Nitwiit Tehran Nan threatened a President and told the Vice President to force him to resign or else, like the MOB BOSS that she is. AND it is not the first time she has threatened either of them.
I hope there is a montage of her and Chuckie’s threats against the President, including his about not messing with “intelligence” because they will come after you. A YUGE threat that was, in fact, what they were ALL DOING, then, now, and seemingly ad infinitum.
I hope there is a clip of “Chuckie” threatening the Supreme Court of the United States.
The Democommunists are not going to allow video clips, at least from the defense.
President Trump should go golfing!!
Won’t watch this sham.

Thank you.
Thanks as always to Team Sundance for their heroic work providing us with truth, information and analysis during some of the darkest days of our Republic.
Here’s a link to a great article from AT regarding the TIME magazine article that details how the Commie Leftists stole the election.
As the author says at the end- let’s hope that President Trump’s lawyers include that article as a big part of his “defense”. The TIME article lays it all out in excruciating and undeniable detail- THEY STOLE THE ELECTION.

I still can’t accept this is happening in the United States of America. We have been transformed, rather we’ve been disfigured. Before we get to the end of this path there needs to be serious push back.
That option has been eliminated.
Found this link from another post.

At 12:53 there is an Antifi removing Capital barrier bike rake. Trump was not finished at this point.
Look at the scene in the Rotunda Fox keeps showing…it’s cops versus guys with beards, backpacks, and gas masks…pure Antifa
Remember, there is one final piece of work McConnell has been tasked by his paymasters to do here, to get rid of Trump permanently. Yes, he successfully stymied MAGA for 4 years, engineered a massive fake criminal investigation of Trump collusion with Russia, fabricated an impeachment trial and finally approved a stolen election that ran Trump out of the WH. It’s a pretty good body of work by McConnell, but his paymasters have one final demand: Remove Trump from presidential politics forever. That’s the cherry on the sundae for the Uniparty and the people who pay them. Much as McConnell destroyed the Tea Party, he wants to completely destroy MAGA, and this impeachment is designed to do that. The CCP also demands certainty. They’re used to certainty of action from their employees. I don’t know how McConnell is going to square this circle constitutionally, but you can bet he’ll take whatever he can get.
It’ll require at least a dozen members of the R wing of the Uniparty to vote for it, and they will be marked accordingly. That’s the only thing standing in McConnell’s way right now, and is probably the reason so many of them are announcing retirement recently. They’re signaling that they’ll vote for it, giving McConnell encouragement to seek a few more and get rid of Trump forever.
The vote and conviction is pretty much a done deal no matter what defense, testimony, or argument is made.
Seriously? You’re a breath of fresh air. Not. How do you know for sure that it is a done deal? Have inside info? I’m not one for false hopes, but you are quite the negative nelly all the time.
The pimp needs 17. Probably about 5 are a given and the cheapest whore will be Romney. Like you say, the 4-5 retirees will probably vote for. So that leaves about 6-7 he needs to pimp out. I would imagine the GOPutz party has about 1 week of life left.
Don’t forget, as you point out the GOP senators who are whores, and I’m using that term as a descriptor like you did, not cursing, so are actual voting members of the party. Forget the Never Trumpers, although they matter. I’m talking about the lazy azzhats who can barely bestir themselves to vote, let alone educate themselves.
They are why we have the Uniparty and they don’t have much of a memory.
The crooked media is running this sh!tshow just like it orchestrated the removal of Richard Nixon nearly 50 years ago.

Also streaming on RSBN……………..support RSBN, they have been loyal MAGA since day 1. PBS/CSPAN, not.
Let’s queue up Obama for the next impeachment.

We could do Bush and Biden too. Need to control the House.
The minute it starts I hope process servers- serve every one of them with a notice of intent to sue for violating Trump’s rights. They should not have legal immunity to strip citizens of their rights.
I would rather eat a bug…
SAY THEIR NAMES:
RINO Liz Cheney, Wyoming
RINO Anthony Gonzalez, Ohio
RINO Jaime Herrera Beutler, Washington
RINO John Katko, New York
RINO Adam Kinzinger, Illinois
RINO Peter Meijer, Michigan
RINO Dan Newhouse, Washington
RINO Tom Rice, South Carolina
RINO Fred Upton, Michigan
RINO David Valadao, California
RINO Susan Collins, Maine
RINO Lisa Murkowski, Alaska
RINO Mitt Romney, Utah
RINO Ben Sasse, Nebraska
RINO Pat Toomey, Pennsylvania
Censured by their states GOP so far:
RINO Liz Cheney, Wyoming
RINO Ben Sasse, Nebraska
Any others?
We are witnessing the greatest hypocrisy of our time. From Obama, “they bring a knife, we bring a gun” to Schumer “Intel has more ways to get you”…to Maxine threatening those in Trumps Cabinet and it goes on and on.
Dems always accusing others of what they themselves do and the fake news is in on it.
okay so now you learned how to do it.
so, Start calling them domestic terrorist and asking where our military is…..
If the Democommunists are not challenged point-by-point then everyone should just go home.
its time for violent verbal opposition to make it clear we are our last words settling this, or it goes to the next level
Speaking of threatening “Trump’s Cabinet”, remember when McConnell’s wife got out of their SUV and confronted a crowd trying to harass them. This was about the time Sarah Sanders and her family were run out of the Red Hen in Lexington, Va, another little commie enclave.
And remember Steve Scalise shot at the baseball game, and the multiple attempts to injure and intimidate Rand Paul
At least we can now all see how irrelevant and useless the so called Republican party is and has been for many years. McConnell and his enablers are a disgrace and it is a very sad day for what was once America !
President Trump should sign an EO today for something frivolous, and of no real consequence, just to trigger the outcry of, “He can’t do that because he’s no longer President!”
Giggle, giggle……(✿◠‿◠)
This is all about defining DJT as a white supremacist and, of course, all of us who voted for him and America First policies. That the ACLU dropped its advocation for Free Speech and, instead, jumped on the racial justice bandwagon is all one needs to know. Race card rodeo on steroids from here on in.
They must know that doing that sort of thing breeds real hatred where there was none before. It is in me and mine. Nobody who is of good will will tolerate being called a white supremacist, racist, N@zi, KKKr, etc. over and over and certainly will not tolerate being told they are guilty of evil just because of their pale complexion. B.S.! Enough!

Why do I feel that like I’m watching a “show” down in a John Wayne movie?
Giddyup!!
You’re going to be very disappointed. It’s a complete railroading job and there’s a double heading aimed at Trump and supporters.
I watched the first Impeachment farce
Not going to watch this.. there is no reason to watch this.. the rules say.. the Uniparty decides what evidence is allowed to be ‘relevant’. That’s the word ‘relevant’. So if is any truth .. it will not be allowed to be submitted..
Forget any voter fraud.. any cross examination.. in the end they will present the same information the house collected previously.. and vote..
What I do expect to hear…
White nationalist insurgent,, over and over again.. the necessity to disarm.. this is not about PDT.. this is setting the Narrative for the future.. Gun Grab..
MAGA
The Democrats 75 Impeachment Lies
This Breaks it down nicely.
“The truth is just beginning to be uncovered.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsOXMi1E0tQ
The point of this ‘trial’ on incitement for insurrection is not to convict the President for incitement.
It is to convict all of his supporters for ‘insurrection’.
Not directly. The point of this trial is for the Uniparty, heretofore know as the Political Mafia because they ARE criminals, to demonstrate to every politician in the country the cost for betraying said Political Mafia. It is a horse head in their bed.
Right! They want to exterminate millions for the “good of the nation”….sound familiar?? (Hitler)
Instead of a real prayer to God, they are reading words of a poet instead of the Bible
I’m not sure they could hold a Bible without their hands burning.
Satanic preacher blessing the sham impeachment trial.
Soviet Show Trial! Commie Dems and RINOs!
Every Republican, if they had any courage at all, would REFUSE TO WEAR THE DAMN MUZZLES.
5 or more are full out Commie Dems.
PBS receives millions in taxpayer dollars, then calls the pro-Trump DC protestors “a mob”
Glad that a few are voting NO not to accept the rules!
Senator Chuck Grassley (R) IA is part of the problem and needs to be primaried.
Did anyone catch how Jodi Ernst voted?
Didn’t he say he was not running for re-election a while back? Or am i confused.
Can’t wait to celebrate “Trump Acquittal Day” for a second time.
Maybe they should make it a national holiday.
