As Rep. Zoe Lofgren approached the Senate lectern late Thursday with her trial presentation in hand, she paused and did something surprising

Then there’s the more blatant attempts to lighten the mood, like New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries cracking a timely joke on baseball legend Derek Jeter’s entry into the Hall of Fame. Rep. Jason Crow followed up to Jeffries’ with a retort of his own on Friday: “I can only conclude this is only a New York Yankees problem,” he quipped.

“We have adrenaline going through our veins, and for those who are required to sit and listen, it is a much more difficult task,” Schiff said Wednesday, the morning after Nadler’s late-night comments that irked senators,. “And, of course, we know our positions. You have the added difficulty of having to weigh the facts and the law.”

Some senators chalked up the tonal switch to a change in scenery: House lawmakers, they said, were simply adjusting to the more high-minded ways of their own chamber and the weight of the task at hand. “I think part of the problem with the impeachment managers is they think this impeachment trial is about them. And hence we got a lot of repetition because everybody’s got their 15 minutes of fame,” said Sen. John Cornyn .

"The idea that a politician says he can't serve anymore because he's been so self centered -- I find that to ring hollow."

Because poll numbers weren’t going their way

You have to talk to them like they are your kids or someone who was brainwashed by an evil person and try to reason with them to show them how wrong trump is and how he is going to hurt our country if we don’t hold him accountable.

Let's see what happens and what the GOP approach will be. I'm not at all convinced they mean what they say.

Dems have been fairly polite and playing by the rules. And the Senate republicans flat out declared they have no intension of removing Trump before they even heard the case.

Wow now the Republicans are snowflakes!

WAY more flies with honey than vinegar.

Pro-trump Politico.

So, TheDemocrats HouseDemocrats SenateDems once again acquiescing to GOPs as they have been doing for decades, which has resulted in the right-wing growing more powerful and media like politico being the slapping hand for the GOPs.

Did they call his manager?!? GTFOH! Voting to continue to block witnesses and documents (Obstruction of Congress), and voting to not enforce lawful subpoenas is indeed a cover-up. Where is the lie? Well... they would be actually.
