address the actual charges...or at least put the witness on the stand that can PROVE POTUS innocence....let's get it done and stop politicking just to evade
Tell em Mitch!
Yet did ABC report that Pelosi actually said NO proof of a crime is needed? Yes she did! On video! Your now guilty, with NO proof, that’s the new standard in the Democratic court of law!
Is Mitch at that point where he does not comprehend very well? Has he not even looked or heard of the new documents? How much money does Mitch & others stand to loose if Trump is taken out of office? These are the questions the media need to ask especially the loosing money one.
This guy senatemajldr is BS and truly shameful to the constitution and this nation really he is. Remove .
The charges are even more laughable and sinister attack on our democracy. Democrats. Are. Evil.
'That' is a disgrace for the country, how 'that' become senator is a clear sign that the political system has problems, HUGES problems. USA must elect presidente, by vote with a second round system, rep same thing. Just to end the non sence two party structure.
No, nothing says seriousness and impartiality like McConnell proudly announcing that he’s coordinating everything with the defendant’s legal team before the trial even begins.
quitcher bellyaching
Plz dont cover the uncovered
This is a strange complaint when the president has been impeached for corruption.
Oh, the bs is going to hit the fan.

MOSCOW MITCH SUCKS
Mitch mc Connell is a traitor
McConnell is a Smuck
Yes....serious business
I know you are not going to ask him this or investigate the possibility of it but: would you ask McConnell what did he and the other Republicans receive from Putin? Money, a promise to maintain power, it has to be something to help him pull off in America what he just did Russia
A ridiculous forcible fabricated impeachment!
Real journalistic story. This is why I don’t watch abc anything. You and the other fake news networks will be eating crow when the senate vote to exonerate the President. Out
McConnell is right-people aren't serious & sober today. McConnell isn't addressing the charges because it's hard to address charges that don't exist in codified law. Please list 5 people that have been charged with 'Obstruction of Congress' & 'Abuse of Power.' ImpeachmentWaste
Come on people. Surely we can all put aside bias enough to say it was an absolutely ridiculous and stupid move on her part. It played to equally idiotic progressives but they aren’t who will elect the next president. The middle of the road voters were not impressed.
Lady Lindsey and Turtle Face Mitch’s legacy is toast. Their protection of Orange Crush is going to be exposed once Trump leaves office, and a President with integrity does an investigation.
senatemajldr
Petty....!!! How about doing your job?
Just do your job! We want a fair trial with witnesses!
Mitch did not complain about Nancy giving out gold plated pens with her name on them, or the gold plated platters the pens arrived on. He was mockering her.
How about addressing the issues Moscow Mitch?
That fuckstick Mitch is not going to have a job soon! McConnellKnew
Hahahahaha
You sold your soul to the devil Mitch we the people are watching
Wondering why is this newsworthy? Didn’t get a pen, get over it, I think he’s jealous for whatever reason, who cares
Your boss gives out t-shirts & hats, wears an orange clown mask with a pillow for a belly.
Let the witnesses appear and testify, and even an old, corrupt scumbag like 'Moscow Mitch' will say the sun rises in the west!! Go Russian Team!!
I would totally pay for an ImpeachmentPen
Pure white evil
HouseDemocrats expending tax payers $ in “useless and hoax pens”.
Smoke and mirrors
The American people are sick of these political hacks and willl prove it in November.
Will the senators running for President recuse themselves Can they really be impartial?
Chucky is obfuscating again.
Trumps not going anywhere but to another 4 years you democratic liberal phuck heads.
MoscowMitch Individual1 ImpeachmentTrial
He needs to go
Democrats are going to lose the impeachment, The Pelosi show is over now it's the presidents turn, The charges are not crimes and the article of impeachment is not high crime or misdemeanor, Hearsay is not allow. It's a sham impeachment that will end fast,
'Back in 1998, Republican senators also kept pens as souvenirs after signing oaths for the impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton - although those pens had typos on the text inscribed on them, and had to be reissued.'
Maybe she should have given you a pen in order to sign all those congressional bills that are gathering dust on your desk.
Hey senatemajldr have you seen the stupidity that RandPaul is up to? He’s slandering RepAdamSchiff w fake evidence from the RitzCarlton.
Mitch just because you think the Democrats are wrong does not give you a pass on your lack of respect for the constitution especially the separation of the three branches and the right of house oversight. Mitch do your job!
SenSchumer is a noisy angry man that has zero regard for the legal process he is walking all over. Shame on ABC for not covering what the senatemajldr had to say about the charges against President Donald J Trump.
Why don’t you retire, resign or just quit. You deserve a long vacation. It must be exhausting being so petty.
Why do GOP keep painting impeachment to be like a nuclear weapon. No, it's called getting fired because you can't do your job. Happens everywhere
So how do you plan on apologizing to your viewer when THIS hoax blows up on you?!?!
Nothing says “fair trial” like declaring how you will vote ahead of time. Oh wait maybe a juror colluding with the defendant is a better example
It’s ok when fucktard does it though
MoscowMitch can't very well address the charges. The only thing he can do is cover his ears with his hands and sing LALALALALALA as loudly as he can. senatemajldr is going down in history. Down, and down, and further and further down.
Has to be the creepiest scene ever of Nancy & House gang having a signing ceremony w/ all smiles for politician impeachment of Trump. So creepy. Time for hard working, reasonable folks to turn over the HOUSE this fall. Current House w/ weird leaders is not working for us!
GOP focusing on the wrong things. Everyday the GOP shows why they shouldn’t have been elected. You are not representing your constituents. Your self interest is very visible.
Our government is a shit show wth
Yep the delay was brilliant. More and more evidence has been brought forth to the people who will be voting you out in November.
GOP are PUPPETS
CUM-ONN, VWATT R DA GHARGE’Z UGAYNZT DRUMP, AN R DA GHARGE’Z, RYCHU’Z, AN TRU? IV DA ZSENATER’Z GANT ZSEE THRU DA EVYDUNCE, IV VWATT DA PREZYDUNT IZ B-YNG GHARGED, THYN BRYNG ONN DA VWYTNEZSSES. 😎🇺🇸👽
$2K for each pen given out at taxpayers' expense.
And what is wrong with giving away pens explain
Right, handing out souvenirs like tax cuts for the wealthiest and corporations....seriousness, sobriety, and the fleecing of the tax payers.
Is this “Everything I do during this, I’m coordinating with the White House,” aka Trump* enabler, senatemajldr? The truly sad and fascistic thing is, you really meant it. Donald John Trump* was impeached on December 18, 2019 for the AbuseOfPower and ObstructionOfCongress.
jannsloan
And Dems won’t address Biden’s corruption.
Does anybody besides me get freaked out when SenSchumer uses his creepy Rod Serling voice to try to scare us?
That’s all he’s worried about , platters and pens 😂😂
He has NO ANSWER for the charges.
that party animal think no way my way stuff, think more a cadillac, golf, stocks
McConnell ate a lot of crow for previously declaring the impeachment would be dismissed.
You are much more serious about your duties!
If they ever rank the Senators, Schumer should be ranked last.
Elections have consequences. Bitches!
The closed foot hearings in the house that didn’t produce one first hand witness or could produce one real crime was very open and honest America - Chuck
MOSCOW MITCH IS A DISGRACE
'...finally ready to defend their impeachment of the President of the United States.'
15% left-handed.
The democratic senators running for president need to revise themselves from the impeachment trial.
senatemajldr pen didn’t burst into flames?!
It’s serious now
Severally.
12 humans with left hands signed.
They can sign a book but will Republicans have a fair trial? Where’s Graham his mind is made up he should not be there.
Shits gettin real...
This is like watching a movie that we already know the ending
It's a straight up Rico Act. Write up the whole trumpy administration for that now! Stop pussyfootin' around Media
