Little man McConnell. It’s all you ever will be.

Drunk with power. He needs to be knocked down a couple dozen notches. He needs to be merely “Citizen McConnell.”

I would love to see Sen. McConnell demoted to Citizen McConnell and then Inmate McConnell. Then the slimy, evil, scumbag needs to lose all of his financial assets due to his extreme corruption!

Yes He does mind Justice Roberts. Now he wants you to be a good little sycophant, not call him out on his " I’m not a an impartial juror" and Declare Trump the bestest, and Most Innocent man to every be impeached.

McConell Prides himself on his subservience. So Justice Roberts you must agree with him RIght?

Bring in a bench so they can both preside.. Moscow Mitch will anyway so might as well do it up front where all the folk can see it.

This toon have have them sized correctly – we shall see.

He minds Rootin’ Tootin’ Putin and the Velveeta Voldemort. He minds big money. Anything else? Never mind. These guys make the Nixon Plumbers look like choir boys. In good ways and bad ways.

McConnell is the power behind tRump’s throne. He should be impeached for treason, then hanged.

Will Roberts allow Moscow Mitch to wear his Russian flag pin during the trial?

How can all these Senators take an oath to be unbiased and then turn around on TV and say they are biased? Are there consequences for Congressmen that sign an oath in the Senate Chamber and then say they won’t honor it? Are there consequences, Chief Justice Roberts?

Get ready, fellow citizens. We are about to see, in plain view under spotlights, just which direction this government will take our country.

Rat McConnell is doing everything he can to delay evidence and force Republicans to vote for crooked liar Trump.

Roberts COULD rein the turtle in, but doubtful.

“Sorry Justice Roberts, I have no mind.”

Have you seen Dershowitz’s book on why Trump should not be impeached? He actually says that Trump could allow Putin to grab away Alaska due to it formerly belonging to Russia and that offense would not be impeachable.

He also ignores that Article II, section 4 of the Constitution, after naming specific reasons for impeachment then gives flexibility by mentioning “other high crimes and misdemeanors”. In fact, without those words Clinton woould not have been able to be impeached (though the limits of the legal definition of sex caused him to be found innocent). The reason Dershowitz wants to ignore those words is to disarm the obstruction charge, of course, given that the entire nation witnessed many incidences of obstruction by Trump.

Oh, and he further wrote that tyrannical actions are not cause for impeachment.

See: (https://books.google.com/books?id=afaBDwAAQBAJ&q=alaska#v=snippet&q=alaska&f=false )

Of course, the Government Accountability Office DID say that Trump committed a specific crime.

As to McConnell, all he cares about is not losing Trump’s core in his own home state. In carrying on a sham trial he will sink a number of Senate Republicans in their own states, seriously damage the Republican Party (which, ironically, would probably win more 2020 elections if it did render guilty verdicts on the impeachments and (further) remove Trump from office), and far, far more importantly will erode the Constitution and our nation for which it is the foundation. The nation deserves a REAL trial with FULL coverage and extensive and inclusive use of witnesses and evidence. Actually, our nation NEEDS that.

It would be nice to see Moscow Mitch kicked out in November. He could then go on a quest to see if he could find his chin.

A strongly recommended read, with sound and highly knowledgeable opinions from a conservative Republican who is very worried by damage to the U.S. caused by Trump:
