The public impeachment hearings Wednesday will be a must-watch for Johnny Isakson, the retiring GOP senator from Georgia.Story Continued BelowAs top diplomats William Taylor and George Kent prepare to appear before the House in the first public phase of the inquiry, few senators said they had plans to watch most of the testimony on Wednesday.
“You should show him my schedule. I don’t have time to watch that tomorrow,” Sen. Chuck Grassley said to an aide, citing a Judiciary Committee hearing. “It’ll be worth [following] when they decide to give due process to a minority party the same way that we did when Clinton and Nixon” went through impeachment hearings.
It’s a continuation of a strategy Republicans latched on to last week as the House began releasing transcripts of its impeachment interviews and most GOP senators shrugged off a series of would-be bombshells. Many in the party now think there’s no point in even trying to keep up.
vote them out!
Historic day in the House? What's happening in the House is a joke. RepublicanHouse2020
Congress? Donall Republicans have the same opinion? They're afraid of the orange.
Observer. Republicans calling waste of time wrong Pass eight year they can fine a qualified candidate as president because they need to get rid off some bad apples in the party
You mean blocking all bills passed by the senate?
😡
When they refuse to protect our country GOP
SenateGOP senatemajldr MoscowMitch refuse to uphold their oath to the Constitution and defend the USA from threats both foreign and domestic. Shameful. Also, what business are they doing? House Dems passed 200+ bills that are in Mitch's graveyard. Do THAT work, gop!
BS
It's not a 'historic' day. It's a sham investigation, pre-planned down to the whistleblower for months. He's not going to be impeached. This is political theatrics. But yet we waste time and money on another hoax.
Good to know these people won't even listen to the evidence. They have already dismissed charges without hearing witnesses. Glad these jokers aren't the jury for any American's trial. They're so worried about the process being fair and yet they've already made up their minds. Sad
Sham
Today’s sorry GOP
If Trump is not impeached that will show the way to all next presidents that they can go farther then him. In a few decades the USA will be just like China, Russia and Arab countries where people have no rights.
This is so fucked up. A senate that wont do its job. Is there anything left to be proud of in American politics? NO
“Waste of time” is a profoundly accurate statement about serving in Moscow Mitch’s senate
Business as usual letting House bills gathering dust on MOSCOWMITCH's desk because he doesn't want to address America's concerns.
Just what business has the Senate conducted these last few months? I guess this means more of the same - doing nothing.
You mean no business as usual in the Moscow Mitch senate.
You mean MoscowMitch will continue to sit his pasty *ss on the hundreds of bills the House has sent over?
Disgusting bunch. None of them should be voted in again. They are not doing their jobs so they are stealing taxpayers money
Business as usual ? Meaning sitting around approving judges?
So 'business as usual in the Senate' must mean do nothing, right MoscowMitch? Still refusing to vote on House bills on sensible gun laws, prescription drug prices, health care protections, violence against women, environmental protections, etc.
No Vote Mitch’s day will be the same! Bills on his desk that he refused to bring to the floor for votes!
Just hope their constituents will be watching.
Which translates to not voting on 300 Bill's passed by the House.
You mean senatemajldr will continue to bring bills before the senate for vote...that “business as usual”?
senatemajldr If I went to work and ignored my job DUTIES, I would be FIRED! Do your job or GET OUT!!! You are suppose to be working for the people of the United States and upholding the Constitution, NOT dummying up to POTUS!
well said senatemajldr who sure knows how to waste time, in his do-nothing republican senate, where legislation goes to die, his obstructive arm of government. biz as usual, ho hum, yawn.
To MoscowMitch, business as usual means doing NOTHING! Why are your military records still under seal since 1967? What do they show that you don’t want the people to see? What are you hiding? Can it actually be worse than what you’ve done in the Senate?
Which means?
Mitch does nothing.. really..wow.
I sure hope so
'Business as usual'? In other words, doing nothing.
So,they're not doing shit today?
so Moscow Mitch plans on doing nothing again today. his legislative graveyard intact.
Which means the senate will be doing nothing. A usual day.
MoscowMitch: And we will be doing nothing as usual but pick our noses and eat what comes out.
Who know better about wasting time than MoscowMitch
Which means under moscowmitch nothing gets done
In other words they’ll be sipping coffee and eating doughnuts
Shut -up Moscow Mitch, you gave up on our country, but most Americans didn't.
Yes, because this country has become corrupted at all levels..
In other words; nothing getting done.
For all who are going to vote soon: remember Republicans don’t care about the truth. Remember how they were during Benghazi and Hillary email investigations? Rabid dogs. Now with Trump? Wimps
While still secretly keeping tabs on the Impeachment Inquiry.
Of course they will watch it, but not admitting it, kindergarten behavior
All roads lead to putin. MoscowMitch
Until forced to listen. History will repeat itself.
business as usual in the Senate with MOSCOW MITCH
One Vote Matter, Mitch Will Learn The Hard Way
If they’re not willing to hear evidence, they should not be allowed to vote.
If the Senate does not accept the evidence then every Senator who votes against removal should be subjected to a recall vote. ImpeachAndRemoveTrumpNOW
The arrogance....in the face of so much damage to our democracy, our diplomats, our NSC, our agencies...
That’s a bummer. Business as usual for McConnell means acting as the grim reaper and assuring nothing gets accomplished on his watch
What is “business as usual” in McConnell’s Senate ?
Not historic: infamous.
If the Republican Senators had put half the energy they've put in defending a corrupt, very impeachable, traitorous president, they would've passed bipartisan legislation that actually would help the majority of Americans. The Senate under McConnel & the GOP has hurt our country.
lol
DitchMoscowMitch 🇷🇺💰
The GOP are Russian asserts and agents. They are all traitors.
Then they will whine they haven’t been given information
LOL. That is what they say. Of course you cannot believe Moscow Mitch and business as usual means over 200 house bills will go unattended.
They all know what the hearings will show. It’s their constituents that will watch and hopefully when 2020 rolls around they’ll vote their rear-ends out of our lives. We don’t care about them watching. They know the potus is a low life punk con. LOCK HIM UP!!!
senatemajldr is one of the worst “things” to have ever happened to our gov’t. He has totally abused the privilege of his office over and over and over. ComplicitCorruptGOP McConnell Disgraceful
Business as usual? Mitch will do nothing. He’ll obstruct and assign non fit judges for life terms.
They can’t handle the truth.
That shows how little respect republicans in senate have for constitution ignoring their responsibilities to vote on bills or impeachment. Trump and mcconnel are the do nothing people they accuse democrats of. They pervert the whole federal structure of government to appease self
Senate has not been doing anything, so yes business as usual.
Maybe MoscowMitch will pass one of the dozens of bills the house has passed so far? Maybe he’ll look into passing the Safe banking act? Probably not, he will continue to push judges through instead
Your days are numbered too Mitch. Bye B
It is a historic day in the House. They move forward with a fake impeachment with no plan for the Minority or Defense fairness. They don't have an actual crime and they are taking second hand opinions over actual evidence. Where is the High Crime? What are the facts? Fairness?
Then they will say they were left out🤮🤮🤮🤮
THAT SHOULDN'T BE THAT HARD OF A DAY LIKE ANY OTHER DAY... JUST SITTING AROUND WITH A FINGER IN THEIR ASS NOT DOING ANYTHING IN PATICULAR...
By business as usual he means continuing to ignore the hundreds of house passed bills on his desk while getting unqualified judges approved.
Right, because the pass no laws!
Senate Republicans are traitors, enemies of the American people.
In other words, nothing going on in the Senate...
Doesn’t care, not with an approval rating of 18 %. -Politico
Suuuuuuuure. 😉
So nothing will be done, right?
Such an immature attitude. But maybe they can vote on the several hundred bills already passed by the House. Especially one to address election security.
VOTE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE TRAITORS OUT
So the Senate will do nothing.
😂. I bet SenateGOP will be the first ones complaining.
Moscow Mitch is getting his money out of town.
Mitch mean NO business as usual. Congress is doing absolutely nothing.
arcturus300 Senate Republicans be like:
Wanna bet?
Business as usual in the Senate is a do nothing Senate because if Moscow Mitch
Complicit. Corrupt. TRAITORS
First the GOP want public hearings and now choose to ignore it. They have abandoned America, Constitution and the People, and have chosen to protect their cult leader AgentOrange aka PutinsPuppet . They are the ultimate Traitors.
Then why write the article to inform everyone that planned on ignoring?
So in other words, your asking us to protest ..
Waste of time if the Constitution is meaningless.
'Business as usual in the Senate.' - translation: 'We do nothing.'
Just like Jim Jordan ignored the rapes of attletes at OSU. Can ignore it, but it won't go away.
Man...what do these losers do all day? Both parties!
Maybe they can vote on a few of the 200 bills sitting on MoscowMitch's desk.
SenToomey , as a constituent this behavior is rude & childish & disrespectful to me. I know you tow the Mitch line but I expect more. And, judging by all the Senate hasn't done, you all have nothing better to do tomo than pay attention to the hearings!!! We are.
All MoscowMitch’s senate does is ignoring American people will anyways.
They don’t do ANYTHING in the Senate! Mitch is a failure!
They have to protect the party. The United states be damned
They have nothing but time in the Senate with MoscowMitch at the helm.
So, they’ll do nothing.... again!
Business as usual is doing nothing.
Senate Republicans haven't worked a day since taking control. Nothing of substance ever leaves MoscowMitch 's desk; so nothing to do. Better than a Mafia no-show job.
Hard not to detest that arrogant old prune. Very hard.
GOP argue that Trump can do whatever the HELL he wants...
So nothing will get done because McConnell won't bring any bills to the floor. Perfect.
Yeah. Not passing any legislation must be really hard work.
Business as usual? Not voting in anything? Aight...
Historic? LMAO
The very first question tomorrow, hopefully: 'Why did Hunter BIDEN announce he was quitting his lucrative, $50K/month job at Ukraine's Burisma Holdings on October 13, 2019? Not because of the stench, right?'
Criminals choose business as usual, and ignore police beating down the door.
White racist hard headed bastards !! It’s funny, how do you raise your children with morals and values when you act the way you do in our government and defend trumps actions ? How ?
The problem with business as usual in the Senate is Moscow Mitch blocks every bill from passing and nothing gets done.
That's yet another dereliction of duty to his sworn oath of office from Mitch McConnell. VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare
It's a kangaroo court.
So in other words they'll be sitting their fat asses on a stack of legislation the House passed.
