But thanks for making this about me...I'm sure you don't want to extol the defense the WH has put forth so far as it's pathetic at best.
If the WH lawyers are pathetic then they are just keeping with the impeachment theme to date because the whole exercise has been nothing more than pathetic.
Yeah, use that narrative. Should serve you well. 
I think you are smart enough to see that this is not going well for the democrats and is not going to end well for them. If they do have anything on Trump they have bungled the process so badly no one but true anti Trumpers have any faith or belief in anything they say.
And they've bungled it so bad, when he wins reelection he will have dictatorship level power because they won't be able to try it again.
I don't know. The democrats have repeatedly shown a degree of stupidity and ineptness that has not been seen to date. It wouldn't surprise me to see them try this again regardless of how damaging the current process is to them. The only hope is to see them soundly defeated and them losing both chambers along with the presidency.

RE: Senate Peach Mints Thread
This lady is falsely classying the documents issued by Schiff as subpoenas.
The Supreme Court hasnt decided yet if they were lawful subpoenas. The President maintains only the judiciary committee has the power to issue the subpoenas

Im actually starting feel sorry for Schiff. His argument is sounding even more and more shrill and ridiculous. Then the fat chick thats up next once again played the "We have overwhelming evidence" card while doing what? lol....Claiming they need more evidence.....these poor souls have no idea how stupid they look.

RE: Senate Peach Mints Thread
The Democrats are getting exactly what they want here.
Trump is "impeached".
They have served their base by impeaching and done it in such a way as their failure to remove Trump can be laid on the Republican Senate. Their base is not only happy, but fired up over this.
They did all this far enough ahead of the elections that they can quiet it down in districts where they need to pull independent votes, but close enough to the election that they can use it in districts where it can help them.
They have done exactly what they set out to do.

They don't care that they don't have any evidence... because they know there are lots of people like Tom out there that will carry water for them no matter what they say.

I agree; however, they failed massively when they didn't consider Trump's base getting fired up and ALSO that many Indy's are now on Trumps side due to the impeachment nonsense.

"...The Democratic case against Trump detailed in the much more extensive House impeachment report shows how language can be used to compensate for shortcomings in the evidence. A careful reading of the report shows that its authors – not unlike those who wrote the Mueller report to suggest guilt they couldn’t prove – are convinced that thin allegations can be bulked up if repeated often enough.
The repetitions that immediately stand out in the House report are the adjectives that dismiss the president’s defense well before that defense is made. Assertions or questions involving Ukraine made by Trump or his attorney Rudy Giuliani are typically prefaced with the words “debunked” or “discredited,” and usually followed by the characterization “conspiracy theory.” “Debunked” appears 22 times in the report; “discredited” 15 times; “baseless” 16 times and “conspiracy” 56 times....
One can choose whether to refer to the House impeachment report’s false quote as debunked, discredited, or baseless."

History, and legal scholars, will not be kind.
They just EVISCERATED Adam Schiff.
This is beautiful to watch.
Well, and it just happened again.
Was waiting for pencil neck to drop to the chamber floor and hold his breath and bang his limp fists.
Just call the vote. What a joke.

Was their intent to fire up the Republican base and give up any credibility with independents?

RE: Senate Peach Mints Thread
"Trump lawyer Patrick Philbin says it is "stunning admission" that the Democrats have shown up and said they need more time for evidence and subpoenas and discovery.
He says if a litigant showed up in court on day of trial and said they needed more time to build a case, "they'd be thrown out of court and the lawyers would probably be sanctioned."
He accuses the House managers of asking the Senate "to do their job for them."
Aaannnndddd.... Schumer's first ridiculous amendment is tabled (AKA killed).
Here comes the 2nd...

Agreed.
And as such, it's plainly, simply a political stunt. They may have played it just as they intended, I'm not certain in the least that it yields the outcome they are hoping for. I know my freshman D rep is running scared already, and she doesn't even have a declared opponent yet.
