    For those interested in watching arguably the single best 100 seconds from Day One, I suggest watching the following: https://twitter.com/mmpadellan/status/1219807852698722304

    For those interested in reviewing the biggest takeaway from Day Two, I suggest reading the following:
    Cable News Pundits Fawn Over Adam Schiff’s ‘Amazing’ Impeachment Speech: ‘Very Powerful and Forceful’

    For those Interested in reviewing some of the biggest takeaways from Day Three, I humbly offer my take here: http://politicalforum.com/index.php...in-senate-day-3.567196/page-6#post-1071368071

    This is a thread for those watching the Fourth Day Day of the Impeachment Trial of Trump before the Senate. This will include the third day for the House Managers to conclude their 24 hours of argument. If you are commenting, please provide enough information for those who are unable to watch to make their own decision regarding your opinion or to at least find the segment in the video for themselves.

    You can watch the Live Link here from the Washington Post:

    So...the total amount of viewers from those three channels (what? You didn't want to include Fox? Geeze, wonder why) watching the Impeachment was 4.07 Million?

    Yes!

    Against 10.95 million watching soap operas. Soap operas beat the pencil-neck by a mile! :applause:

    I wonder how fewer viewers will the House dog and pony show get today in favor of Trump at March for Life? Wanna make a prediction?

    You won't.

    I can't imagine what they are going to talk about for another 8 hours.

    Edit: well, I guess i'll have to imagine what, because I'm sure as hell not going to watch them ramble on, I have learned recently that when it comes to politicians talking that have the patience of a gnat.

    While the Senate is waiting to start the trial, C-SPAN2 is broadcasting a Joe Biden rally live, instead of just taking calls from voters like they've been doing. Nothing like free media for a candidate.

    They're supposed to convince the Senate that Trump "Obstructed Congress" today. The balance of their time for Article II.

    Definite snoozefest.

    March for Life is definitely more interesting and positive.

    The anti-Abortion crowd wants to hear from a woman who bragged about grabbing women by the ***** and accused a reporter who asked him a tough question of bleeding from her whatever.

    They still care about morality, right?

    Just so we are clear, he "fought back" by ordering every current and former employee to keep their mouth shut and from handing over a single document.

    No. They used an OLC argument delivered orally in October which supposedly was based on a dissenting opinion from an unrelated case issued in December.

    Yes, except for the Memorandum of the Phone Call that Trump and his legal team still call a transcript. The one that proved Donald Trump cared only about investigations against his own political rivals.

    Wake me up when they say something new.

    The Democrats are still desperately digging for new info because the case they have has been made a billion times and isn't cutting it.

    The collective has no interest in diplomacy. They see you as resources they can consume.

    Neither of those PDFs were the justification used by the Trump administration in order to justify stonewalling all of the subpoenas issued before the House formalized the Impeachment Process.

    That decision was based - according to their own legal brief - on an OLC argument delivered orally in October which supposedly was based on a dissenting opinion from an unrelated case issued in December.

    He fought back telling the House if they wanted to infringe on executive privilege and the executive branch go to court. They said they didn't need it so they didn't.

    Indeed.

    What works for Donald Trump, won't work for the Dems.
