Garrett Haake, Leigh Ann Caldwell, Heidi Przybyla and Adam Edelman, now have an outlet: fidget spinners.
Richard Burr, R-N.C., handed out the toys to several of his fellow senators in the chamber before Thursday's trial proceedings got underway.at its center that can be used to play with between the fingers. Sen. Richard Burr R-N.C., holds a stress ball as he walks to the Senate chamber before the day's session of President Donald Trump's impeachment trial on Thursday, Jan. 23, 2020.The toys could be a sign of some Republicans' disdain for the Democratic presentation against Trump.Sign Up
Everything about this government is horrible. Congressmen and women n both sides not bothering to do their job is not new. Half of them don't bother to read laws they vote on. They're all pointless hypocritical wastes.
wcsek We pay them to read, play and do crosswords instead of listening to important facts in an impeachment trial. Maybe they could have paid attention if we were allowed witnesses.coverup
They are worse then high schoolers
Entitled brat
Why would they soberly and seriously fulfill the solemn oath they took when they can play with a toy while ignoring the facts.
Republicans do your dame JOB And if trump is so rich! Why are tax payers paying for this?
👍🏿 SOME OF THEE STUPIDEST CHILDISH PPL LIVING! GOP (GROUP OF PUNKS)🤦🏿♂️🧹
GOP attention spans only last 3 mins
Fidget spinners are known Nazi tools of oppression.
Because they can’t master the paddle ball!
A child's toy for the children, how fitting.
Third graders should know better and their teacher would discipline them. Grown men and women certainly should know better. But consider the source.
I wonder what the judge would have said if I brought one to the last trial I was juror on? Contempt charges?
Because they're children. He should have passed around some Xanax.
What does that say about how boring & redickulious this kangaroo 🦘 court has become Schumer, Schiff & Nadler r a total joke & boring as hell u guys r done pack it in put an end to the grand standing PLEASE
Got to be boring. Heard everything before:
I guess fidget spinning is what you do when you are terrified of the truth and “decorum” prevents you from doing this!
It’s on par with their IQ, small things for small minds
Joe Biden: 'If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money'
Maybe they can shove it somewhere the sun doesn't shine!!
Keeps them from exploding at the lying dems.
Books and spinners at The 'trial' in the Senate. Proud to be American? 'Jury' already decided. How free are we Really?
I still want to know who actually paid for these. Tax dollars?
What are we, 12? Lol 🤯 dobetter dontblamethekidsthen
Why does this not surprise me
So Lamar Alexander could be “the great white hope”
That shows their mentality. Lolol. Children.
Regardless of what they believe, they should take this whole process seriously.
Shame on them
Yea, because this trial is a political stunt or AKA hoax.
A fidget spinner as they listen to democrats spin their sham impeachment
Who cares
They should all be forced out
They couldn't figure out how to work them either. Sad
It’s hard to know what to do with your hands when you don’t listen, think, or take notes.
This only speaks to their mentality. No ability to focus, then you should not be able to vote.
All the childish Senators that had fidgets should resign. The voters deserve better. This is our democracy that is in danger and these fools are playing with toys! VoteOutGOP
Shocking how CHILDISH GOPSenate senators are...if you're BORED, why not vote to permit witnesses? Bolton&Pompeo both claim they're willing to testify; they could have exculpatory testimony - why not permit them to tell their side? P.S. Grow up, GOP !!
Who cares as much butt kissing they’re doing for Impeached BIRTHER Trump they can stop 🛑 bending for a bit and play.
RIP GOP
Weren't those created for kids with autism?
This is how serious they take their jobs. We pay them how much again?
Disgraceful! And Collins was concerned about language on the senate floor? SMH!
Ok, so this was a doucbh move as fidget spinners are obnoxious, but I DEPEND on my fidget cube. I'm an adult with ADHD, and fidgeting helps me regulate my attention. I'd bet money that some senators also have undiagnosed ADHD, so this douchebag may have done the country a favor.
Shameful
Don’t boo, vote
Children. kodomonimitai
These republicans are disrespecting congress. If they hate their job so much , Resign
That’s why they love a Kavanaugh. He’s like bringing in the frat boy with the kegger to get the party started.
People, look at your paycheck. Look at the deduction for federal taxes. You are paying for these twits to play games on your dime!
While the Dims play with themselves
It's an act for the audience of their Lord and Savior Trump
Playing games....shame on the GOP TheyAllKnew
Pacifiers would be more appropriate.
where’s the story denigrating the Dems souvenir pens? Is this more FakeNews from the lamestream media? MattLauer is embarrassed for what you’ve become
Fidget spinners are great stress relievers. You do know that some people can do two things at once & pay attention.
Dems not being taken seriously.
This is outright contempt for the proceedings 😡! They have consistently proven their disloyalty the Constitution and the rule of law. I will not forget, nor forgive!
Fidget-spinning while Rome burns.
SNL
What Else You Gonna Do During This 'BULLSHIT' Impeachment Trial !!
.
Sad when spinner toys are more interesting than democratic bullshit, right liberal fascists?
VoteThemAllOut2020
gop senate they are getting restless,,with all there cover up trial/. no witness's, no evidence,no documents/. a total cover up of their oaths of office,,some gop are even exiting/. they are tired of their scam/. is that allowed,,when not on break for their potty run/.
I wonder if GOP senators will start applauding the defense team when they start spewing Russian propaganda.
Really out of touch
They are making a mockery of our courts! Shameful!
How to keep a court Justice Roberts
That's actually awesome, it's nothing we haven't heard before. Senate shouldn't allow any witnesses and just can these articles...it's like koolaid wit no sugar, ham wit no burger...Cereal with no milk...realDonaldTrump
They need a figet spinner
Children, not serious minded Senators. Do they care about our country? Do they care about a President who abuses his power? Apparently not.
These jerks are acting like sullen, sulking teenagers who've been told they can't have the family car tonight.
Are these the official impeachment spinners?
Because they’re children.
Hope they don’t have seizures.
That’s almost as bad as cedric RICHMOND watching golf.
Almost like they arent even paying attention and have already made up there minds
Democrats are abandoning rule of law and equality before the law in pursuit of partisan political expediency - dividing America in undermining its legal system in a way Russia could never have achieved
Old school
Well Diane Feinstein got up and left early Wednesday night. But of course NBC doesn’t say anything about the democrats leaving or democrats fallen asleep. But In reality this entire sideshow by the democrats is a LYING boring snooze fest of BSHT.
🤣
DO YOUR JOB OR BE REPLACED!
Is this not some Justice Roberts should have admonished them for? We pay these Republican Senators salaries. They should be ashamed. SenTomCotton LindseyGrahamSC
Our politicians... you all make us so proud
Abolish the Senate.
SenateGOP this is how our tax payers money is been waisted. TrumpImpeachmentTrial TrumpIsGuilty ImpeachAndRemoveTrumpNow
thank you for telling us! GOP Shame on you! Sorry if we tax ur patience. Don’t worry it won’t last. November is around the corner.
It's hard to take The Horrifying Truth shoved down your brain. Did they also have ear plugs in there?
They can't take the Naked Truth knowing they too will have to LIE under OATH. They are taking one for the Teflon Don-ald. A slight Spiritual Dent perhaps on the chin? Eh?
Saw that. We ask children to sit still but not our elected officials, they have made a mockery of the Senate Trials, beyond shameful.
Love it their turn is finally coming
GOP Corrupt party .Liars on power.Stop that
We pay these senators $1,074.07 every day that they’re in session, the very least they could do is honor the constitution and sit up and listen! Why do they hate our country? How many hardworking, patriotic Americans could use a daily grand-plus to show up to work?
Yet this is the END. Welcome to Zoombieland
YANGSURGE
So disrespectful
Yeah another waste of taxpayers money.. playing with toys while pretending to do their “jobs”
Sick witch hunt really sick & boring so boring, people are falling over sleeping.
VOTE THEM OUT!!!!!! GOP
Can you blame them. Three days of opinions, beliefs and partisan hate.
COVERUP!
Pretty much tells you all you need to know about the real “mental” age of some of them, doesn’t it! And now you know why they accomplish so little while collecting their paychecks (and lobbyists $$!) While waiting for their unbelievably inequitable retirement benefits.
Is this the same as leaving during hearings? I allow 10 to 12 year olds play with those, while we are having a discussion. Is there a way to be a therapist for Congress? I'm open to both, as clearly need something.
Cheap childish games that only go to prove that they are incapable at even a pretence at their 'impartiality', if they can't take their job seriously they should be removed like any one else would be if they were to flout the rules of the workplace.
Aren't Republicans the ones that made the rules of no phones during the impeachment trial so there be no distractions. Seems like a sham me.
Are they 5 years old with no attention span. Crazy.
That’s all they’ve been doing for 3 years.
Meanwhile at home the American people are 'turning' the channel.🤨
They are openly shunning their job responsibilities. What sort of employer would tolerate an employee shunning their job responsibilities and playing with fidget spinners on the job? They can't even sit and listen as a basic job requirement.
Who’s buying them?
Your tax money hard at work for you, fellow Americans.
Just what the spin doctor ordered.
xrp😁
Is that the new cult trend or what?! Our store still has a few hundred left over!
Yes I heard, that's how much respect they have towards the constitution.
It’s tactics and you’re being played
Yeah well it's just like when your coworker puts it on speakerphone so the entire office can hear about his cherrywood flooring. No one cares.
Or maybe, I don’t know...listen Learn something, take notes, pretend to care for the people you represent?
It is time to behave as adults- guess that the Republicans didn’t get the memo doyourjob
What are they? 12?
We live in the absolute stupidest timeline.
