While Trump said months ahead, if he loses it's fraud. Trump always knew ands never believed the election got "stolen" from him. He just instagated and riled up his naive following, who, if you watch recent copium videos, still believe his maniacal and hysterical lies. They actually believe the garbage from his mouth.

[@drmantistobboggangonzodr3961]

Some Republican congressmen said their minds were already made up before the beginning of this impeachment and before the last Chump impeachment as well. They shouldn’t be able to participate. If I was selected for jury duty and said that, I should not be a juror. It’s ridiculous how blatant the partisan BS is. They no longer even attempt to hide their corruption or their contempt for the people and their belief that they are above the law. It’s disgusting. Honestly I’m sure that the majority of Democrat congressmen and women are just as partisan and already have decided to vote by party on any issue before seeing all the information on it out of their partisan politics, greed and desire to hang on to or increase their power. Very few seem to show through their own words or actions that they care about the well being of their constituents who they seem to forget they are supposed to work for, particularly at that level (local politics are not as bad although there is plenty of corruption there as well.). They actually work for their campaign donors, lobbyists for special interests, the NRA in the case of Republicans and some Democrats who both take money from them.... and it is no secret. As far as I am aware no Democrat has had the arrogance or stupidity to come out and say they have already made up their minds. It doesn’t matter, though. It only means in most cases that they know how to play the game better. Due to gerrymandering, etc. (much of it perfectly legal yet still reprehensible) they don’t seem to even think they need to court votes anymore it seems.

[@julianwaugh968]

Hey if they were in a classroom Their total disregard for the legal proceding is an affront to the people they do not want to hear the truth, their minds are already made up it is shameful and perhaps shows their complicity so in fact they become accessories to the crime Bring back public hanging for a bit

What really annoys me about the "doodlers" is not one of them went out and tried to talk to "their people" instead they hid and expected people like officer Goodman to keep them safe. Cowardly hypocrites the whole lot of them.

[@theresadeleon5067]

Since they negotiated not to show what the "jury" are doing on camera, whomever is speaking should call them out for not paying attention, putting their feet on furniture, etc. If this behavior wouldn't be allowed in a court of law, it certainly shouldn't be allowed by supposed honourable senators during an impeachment trial.
