I want y’all to appreciate the genius of this move by McConnell, the craftiest sum a bitch in the senate https://twitter.com/jason_donner/status/1353860374509056004
They need 51 to vote, 67 to convict

McConnell made sure only 3 GOP show

McConnell and the senator from Kansas, clearly against impeachment

and Romney, for impeachment
McConnell isn’t going to do anything to drag it out

he’s denying them their preferred optics

hes cut the number of speeches in half

and I have no doubt he will speak, powerfully
He couldn’t stop it but by Republicans not even showing up and denying the dems their preferred optics...

McConnell has done everything in his power to delegitimize the entire process

hes made them look like a kangaroo court, because they are
Even in the history books, in any photo, the chamber will be half empty. The refusal of the GOP to even waste their time showing up will have to be noted in any history book

no Chief Justice. Half the senate absent

it is brilliant
He’s the Leader of the minority

hes made them look like asses

and he’s holding them hostage tonight
