McCaskill: Some Republicans 'Tried To Busy Themselves' During Capitol Riot Video | MSNBC
If they don’t watch the videos, then they should be disqualified or recuse themselves. They’re not fit to judge competently.
@Tessmage Tessera yeah they should rename it. Something like the Nationalist party
They’re not fit to judge coz they’re co-conspirators.
I did not know MSNBC was short for massive objectivity or massive something
@Lucy Loft Or the Nazi party, since that’s apparently what they’ve morphed into.
@Tessmage Tessera Hopefully forevermore
They think they’re immune from shame, but this is coming back to haunt them.
They have no shame.Its more important to make them pay
The problem is they are immune to the shame. They will only be shamed by people they don’t matter to them. Polarization means their base will support them regardless.
@Rob Porter Unfortunately, you could not be more correct. Our Senate has been corrupted, and there is no way they will do their Constitutional duty and convict Trump. If they do, it would not surprise me that all the Trumpists would storm the Capitol again, which my possibly turn out to be their excuse.
@Nancy Ross blah blah blah bad Repubs or Bad Dems, I say the latter if the primary topic
the democrats brought this on by not acknowloging the fraudalent election
They can’t and won’t be impartial publicly displaying to ignore the evidence. Disgraceful!
So they do have some semblance of conscience . Use the video of them “busying themselves”.
Some republican senators looked away wile the presentation of the evidence of the torture cop????? WAO!!!!!
They should be forced to watch their supporters in action.
We need to focus our efforts for the 2022 midterms and expand the majority for Dems in the House of Representatives and the Senate. There are senate seats in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Florida ready to be picked up. Heck even try to pick up senate seats in Iowa or Missouri.
This has been their strategy for the past four years.
Willfully ignorant. And gaslighting the American people.
@Paul Wilson Wingnut cultist, what a gullible embarrassment. Lmao.
@v35tan27 Yes that is a leftist, we can play this into infinity, whatever it takes
@Paul Wilson its not democrats that outnumber you, that you’re fighting with, its AMERICANS who don’t worship trump, that will see justice done, our country repaired, and you deplorable insurrectionists roundly rejected
Demoncrats aren’t willfully ignorant,they can’t help it!!!!!!! LOL
@David Eby uhh… Ok. So condescension doesn’t sound good with a southern “bless their hearts” kinda thing (but im sure you cant help it sweetheart; you’re ignant, just as God, public education, fox and Facebook made you! 😉 see what i did there l.o.l.
They sound like a guilty person
The GOP hates America and is trying to tear it down.
Hold on you mean republicans right
you have that backwards open your eyes. you missed the last 35 years of america being sold off to the rest of the world
@Progressive Humanist Everybody can ring their senate offices. Just and idea …
@Emilie Jenkins yes
@SPUG Rich One of the biggest profiteers of the selling of the United States is currently undergoing a trial in the Senate.
If they can’t watch, they aren’t worthy of their office.
They can’t watch because they don’t want to show emotions. They were raised to show emotions means weakness. That’s how republicans are raised.
Voters have long memories and they will remember this cowardice, come 2022 and 2024
QOP senators can’t watch because they’re trying n failing to hide their complicity
I agree with this
The congressional equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and singing la-la-la-la-la …
Freaking ostriches, the lot of them.
Anyone ever get called for Jury duty?Basically if there is Bias in the Jury pool those members are let go From the Jury,not allowed to Serve.All socalled “senators” displaying a lack of Interest in the Evidence should be Disqualified. IF THEY ARE Not,it will be more Proof the Supreme Court must be Expanded…which I have said many times.
No one is Entitled to seat on a Jury.
Its horrible that anyone can condone this act of treason and hate. A President who wants to be ruler so bad that he applauded and loved the people who did this.
No you cannot let this go on.They all need to watch it over and over again
My hope is some of them will be shuffling papers in their defense trial for Insurrection and incitement of violence themselves. So sick of these repugnant fake republicans.
Imagine if this was a criminal trial within a court of law, and some members of the jury refused to watch while the prosecution was showing important evidence to the court. The judge would stop the trial and admonish the jury, or even replace uncooperative jury members. Honestly, the Republicans make me sick. Their party deserves to be destroyed for what they’ve done.
They’d be in contempt of court
all you said is so true
You keep force feeding your own cult, this is all about political power
@Sam Harris do you ever say anything relevant to the conversation? Your only argument is “I know you are, but what am I?” Are you six? Grow up, cry baby.
GOP jurors trying to ignore evidence presented at trial? Not complying with their duty as jurors? Are they disqualifying themselves?
because nothing will change their minds.
Lock them up!
They wish…
This is heartbreaking
Senators Scott Cruz Rubio
deplorable cowards busyness with papers instead of
due diligence to protect democracy
Trump really should be arrested and charged with murder!!!
IT’S A TRIAL OF REPUBLICAN SENATORS as much as djt..
“we can see for miiles and miles and…”
We need to focus our efforts for the 2022 midterms and expand the majority for Dems in the House of Representatives and the Senate. There are senate seats in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Florida ready to be picked up. Heck even try to pick up senate seats in Iowa or Missouri.
They have been turning their heads and denying reality for years and years. Now they lose everything forever. 🌊
