Would it be a good strategy to get the Chief Justice more involved with the trial?
For example, by asking for a few more motions than the Chief Justice and the Republicans might be expecting? The element of surprise, from Sun Tzu.

1. I don't think you can make Roberts get more involved than he wants to be
He has the option of referring questions to a vote by the Senate. If he's flooded with motions, I suspect he'll simply swat them over to the Senate and the Republicans will quickly dispose of them.

3. You may be right... just brainstorming.
....and it was a very light shower.
But the idea was one related to warfare. Perhaps not the best way to frame it?
:lmao: Kentuck thinks he and the dump can tell the Supreme Court what to do. This is nothing new, of course.

2. Or maybe challenge a couple of their lead lawyers and put it to a vote.

10. I know about the process....we win on election day
It's not a matter of surrender....it's a matter of math.
There aren't 67 Senate votes to remove the Dumpster....and never will be with a R majority Senate.......it's math...not love, war, and politics.....MATH.

13. What if Dumpster's crew says...we want Hunter testimony to show it's fair?

The only storming going on there is when you pull your head out of your ass.

What a DUmbass. He’s a shining example of all of them. They don’t want fair and impartial. They want guilty no matter what.

Your only surprise would be the absence of light emanating from your anus no matter the brilliance from above.
Wish with one hand, keep diddling your sister with the other.

5. I was speaking of war from a viewpoint of surprise.
The worst that can happen is that it be ruled out of order.
The point is to disrupt and confuse your opponent.
Some hopeless act of desperation is what he has in mind. Their nominee is going to be Creepy Joe, Pocahontas, or the liver spotted old Red from Vermont. Whoever it is, President Trump is going to schlong them worse than Hillary. I'd feel hopeless too.

Brilliant, kt! Even the MSM wouldn't be able to make that look pretty. And then Roberts says, "Overruled!" Or "You are out of order!" Or "Adjourned!" And if he says the latter and there are no more hearings, what would the Dems have accomplished?
A year ago I would have said that the Dems are not stupid enough to try anything along the lines of kt's "brilliant" idea. The past 4 months have me wondering if they just might be that kind of stupid.
I do not see a possible end to this that does not damage the Dems. And Pelosi's 1 month delay made clear to anyone willing to recognize it that the Dems' supposed urgency was just fauxny shtick. Either at some point Trump will be retained by Senate vote or the Dems wangle to stretch this out for the whole year, demonstrating again that their hasty sham-poo-chment was a partisan farce and pulling antics that will be ugly to all but DU-grade Prog-voters. The least damaging thing would be to have the vote for-against Trump next week so that the Dems can campaign on less self-destructive talking points.
Sometimes I wonder whether Pelosi moved this whole farce forward in the hopes that the crazier Dem Reps would be voted out of office and the Dems' House caucus could start to rebuild with less crazy. Her slinging wacky accusations this week of McConnell-Russia Collusion has me thinking that she really is all-in on this and probably needs 72-hour involuntary commitment and testing for dementia. Not that I think that would happen or claim psycho-atric expertise.

Kentuck sounds like the kind of person who if he were a football coach would punt on 2nd down so as to disrupt and confuse his opponent.
Heh.

It was actually reality pissing on your parade.
Just because your party's a chinese fire drill right now, and trying to look brilliant by quoting some ancient Chinese warrior is not going to save your party.
Your glorious leader san fran nan ****ed up with this whole thing. She let her hatred of Trump ruin your already crappy party.

One would think that having a Senate trial coming up that the DUmmies would be doing an Irish Jig.
Instead, they are as angry and depressed as ever!
Love it!

The bottom line is this - this impeachment is a lost cause. And if the Democrats try to impeach him again, they are likely to lose the house.
-- It'll be painfully obvious that this is indeed a witch hunt, and many more will be turned off by it all.

There was also this Kentuck gem this morning.

Prepare yourself: You are about to be OJ'ed.
Mitch McConnell has already said he is ready to work hand in glove with the White House Counsel.
"If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit".
Just like with OJ, they look to confirm their pre-conceived notions.
All the evidence said OJ killed those people. It wasn't just the glove. It was the blood on OJ. On his clothes. In his vehicle. His confession as he sought to escape on the Expressway. There was mountains of evidence. Yet, the jury acquitted him.
With Trump, there is also mountains of evidence. It is everywhere. Even in places he keeps secret.
But, in the end, OJ walked.
At least, for a while.
If the impeachment is $hit, you must acquit! :lol:
Kentuck is a true post whore.

Do we have a thread just for our favorite nicknames for leftist figures? Because that would be hilarious.

Some of the ones I've seen in this thread have actually made me LOL and I'm alone in my office. People walk by and look at me weird.

An exercise in futility.
