    Me, I'm all for it. An equal number of witnesses from both sides, the leadership of the Senate decides whom to call :D

    You and I both. At least Aurora was able to fend off the liberal shift and elect Mike Coffman as mayor. There is still hope, but it's fleeting for this state as California's who no longer can afford California are moving here and bringing their politics and high cost of living with them..

    If that's what the Senators vote for at Phase II of the trial. Trump can still claim Executive Privilege and we can wait for the courts to decide. It would be awful to see Warren, Sanders, and Klobuchar unable to effectively campaign for months with the election less than 10 months away.

    Then you probably should have watched it and you'd know where you were wrong.. if you cannot get the details right, why should anybody trust you with the big things?

    I did watch all 100 Senators sign the Oath Book yesterday. Apparently not many people did. It was pretty boring, but it happened in real life.

    As far as "trust", you've got one finger pointing at me, and you have three fingers pointing right back at you.

    The folks the Democrats want to call, their conversations with Trump are covered under Executive privilege. The Biden's sadly are not.

    Funny, since only 99 Senators signed the book, as one of them was in Oklahoma...

    Funny that!! Facts matter... learn what they are....

    I'm simply pointing out that when you get the small things incorrect, you can easily get the big things incorrect as well...

    Yeah, I'm nitpicking, but some people (not you) simply don't recite facts on here...

    They need to be periodically called on it...

    Oy vey! If the 100th senator wants to be part of the hearings, he also will need to sign the oath book.

    Pick nits much, Ego Boy? :juggle:

    No worries they will all take the oath and be in the oath book before the trial starts.

    McConnell, "Any Senator who is not in the Senate chamber at the time that the oath was administered to the other Senators will make that fact known to the chair so that the oath may be administered as soon as possible."

    I guess Warren, Sanders, and Klobuchar will need to bend and spread 'em. The whining should be priceless.

    They should demand that Biden and Buttigieg stop campaigning out of "fairness and unity"....as if Democrats actually care about things like that. :roflol:

    Yep... If I don't pick the nits, it's possible nobody else will... and then somebody might believe what you posted.

    I'm a detail guy... details matter...

    Of course Inhofe will sign the book when he gets in town... and then you can say 100 Senators signed the book.

    Now it's obvious to why Pelosi waited. Just goes to show how the DNC will jack their own to make sure they get on the ballet who they want.

    That's the same dodge that McSally tried to use last night.

    Are you a yes or no when it comes to permitting more witnesses?

    Great! My car has a speck of dust on the steering wheel. When can I drop it off?

    I already answered that. If the Senate votes for witnesses during Phase II then we get witnesses. If not, we don't.

    Personally I don't really care either way. I'm voting on things like the economy, border security and free-market health care. So are most voters at the end of the day.

    The impeachment is a partisan sham, a distraction, and an embarrassment for the country.

    The bolded is the first time that you answered the question of whether you want witnesses. But if you don't care, then you will not mind if the Democrats convince four GOP Senators to join them in voting to hear from more witnesses.

    That's good enough for me.

    That's not my car. You missed a major detail. How can you be trusted with anything if you can't get the details right??? :nana:

    Well, is that picture you originally sent your car? If it is, seems you already have somebody working on that speck and attempted to recruit my services under false pretenses.

    If it's not, how can I prepare to get your speck problem solved without proper preparation?
