Just two beverages are allowed on the Senate chamber's floor during the impeachment trial: water and milk. Here's why.

Well - they’re udderly-bored and the arguments are hard to digest.🥛🥛🍼🍼🍼 🍑mint

This is what they should do to get things done. Lock them in a room and don't let them out until they solve the problem. About every 8 hours shove a pizza under the door.

Then just tuck em in, read em a bedtime story and don’t forget the nitelite

What kind of thin water you guys drinking over there

No iced tea? Blasphemy!

No Tea tho. What a ‘tremendously wasted opportunity of the very definition

What, no Ovaltine?

Beer would be better.

Because they are better choices than gin and juice.

How about Prune Juice for old those old farts!

drinkin loads

This is mental. People without proper nutrition shouldn’t be leading a hoursssss trial. All they are allowed to eat is candy?

Children drink milk. Water or cold water shit tea if you under the weather but milk? Man I can’t imagine all that pent up gas up they ass

Because the Democrats will be crying over spilt milk when this ridiculous shit show is over...

Which one is it you drink to blatantly ignore everything around you? russianmilkbar moloko

Is the milk lobby running with this?

hope they are not lactose intolerant , senate could get stinky

Half these folks originally get gas from milk

Is this a pitch for the dairy industry?

Let's not forget the 'designated candy drawer'.

This is true, but nobody mentioned it was breast milk. Those Democrats, always kidding around ! Drink up suckers !

Why milk? Is there a historical reason?

No wonder Bernie sounds congested

I'm more curious about the water. It seems it's delivered to the Senators in glasses, not out of bottles. Is it tap water only? Is bottled water permitted? Are they allowed to drink their preferred brand of water? What about sparkling water?

Probably a contributor of milk hoping he doesn’t have to pay taxes.

Great source of tuberculosis, enjoy!

Shot in the dark, Senate rules lag in replacing old school dairy with new school booze, hookers and cocaine? Poor Bernie's still drinking actual milk.

One side is obviously drinking the devil's koolaid. Let Bolton testify!

I prefer to think this is a slam on Rep. Nunes. By DevinCow conspiracy. Do not correct me if I’m wrong.

It’s to keep people from being stimulated and unable to be alert.

Next time: “There’s no law that says a dog can’t play basketball” ruling caused the senate to become Air Bud.

Actual image from the Senate floor

Almond Milk or trash regular milk?

Give them Red Bull

The only thing more boring than milk is an npr story on milk.

Drinks of champions.

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

What if they're diabetic?

milk is gross drink

It's interesting that the dairy industry is dying.

Explains all the Senators who have been sneaking out... alcohol-dependent.

Omfg. Can I get paid to write this shi

The Republicans are already drunk on the orange Kool aid.

Supposedly, there were soft drink cans on many of the desks today.

Good. If Dem senators got drunk and did something stupid, they would blame it on the White Russians...

Great! A room full of lactose intolerant old farts.

This makes me a little nauseous

Milk? Americans are gross.

Big babies Drink Milk nytimes FoxNews

I love it

A glass of milk makes for a better nap.

Milk is for babies

Part of getting the farmers' votes and approval from the American Dairy Association.

Old men drinking stolen baby food. I support you Bernie but not when it comes to exploiting the helpless. You’re supposed to be a voice for the underdog. Protecting the vulnerable should transcend species. yourenotababycow speciesism

Ah yes, what better pic to use than that of Bernie toasting with milk during the impeachment of a Democratic centrist president who repealed Glass-Streagall, passed the 1994 crime bill and then pushed the war on drugs?

What, no OJ? (insert obvious acquit pun)

Christ who cares

Milk the drink of old men. Did they warm it up first? 😭🤣😂

I didn't know anyone out of elementary school drank milk.

Milk is terrible for you.

If this how senate usually runs no wonder this country is in shambles

Without yet having read this article, my guess is tRump and those other old men are lactose intolerant, and the Dairy Board of America has kompromat that would make the PeeTape look like a day in Disneyland. FullLoad

No coffee?

Milk and 🍪 cookies buds!

Waste of energy this.

This is dumb..to spend more time explaining this than the actual Article’s of Impeachment

Only seeing headline... I thought this was TheOnion

yet, Senators are drinking coffee. That fact is a great representation of our system. What good is a rule if you don't enforce it. The president is obviously above the law. Other than impeachment being a stain, what else is there?

Racist

Oh hell no. Must have caffeine

I’m sure they’re all wearing diapers.

Can you have chocolate milk? Let’s get to the real issues! Like strawberry milk!!!!

Trio of weird men.

Neat!

at least trumps finally helping farmers IMPOTUS

As Long as it’s not white Russians LOL
