    For those interested in watching arguably the single best 100 seconds from Day One, I suggest watching the following: https://twitter.com/mmpadellan/status/1219807852698722304

    For those interested in reviewing the biggest takeaway from Day Two, I suggest reading the following:
    Cable News Pundits Fawn Over Adam Schiff’s ‘Amazing’ Impeachment Speech: ‘Very Powerful and Forceful’


    This is a thread for those watching the Second Day of the Impeachment Trial of Trump before the Senate. This will include the first day for the House Managers to start their 24 hours of argument. If you are commenting, please provide enough information for those who are unable to watch to make their own decision regarding your opinion or to at least find the segment in the video for themselves.

    You can watch the Live Link here from the Washington Post:

    Another day, another 391 million withheld...

    I've been hearing several reports that Senators on both sides are leaving the room during the presentations.... one gave an interview to Fox news (guess which side)...

    That's not cool... It's fine to get up and stretch and bend the knees (for those still capable), but ya gotta stay in the room, IMHO...

    Adam Schiff: "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am here to tell more lies, please sit down and for the next 3-8 hours, I will tell lie after lie after lie and we all know I am lying. But if I lie over and over and over again, maybe someone will fall for it. When I am done lying, Schumer, Nadler and others will get up and tell more lies. We are a bunch of hypocrites and liars and that is undisputed"

    lol

    There, I saved everyone a lot of time. :)

    Man, Schiff killed it on Day 2. I think his presentation was amazing and I'd love to see it get more attention. Lays it out clearly and concisely, and only those in the bag for Trump could dispute it.

    Democrats act like this hasn't been said a million times. It's like hearing the same stump speach over and over.

    It's not enough. That's why they need more.

    They are still digging for something... anything... they can use against trump.

    My teenaged son and I were watching some of the evening presentation. When Lofgren was doing her part on the scheme being exposed, 90% of his attention was on his phone. When Schiff was doing his part on the recap and closing, his phone was mostly down.

    Schiff's manner of speaking - pauses, inflection, sarcasm, head moving/eye contact, a little indignation, all play better than most of what I've seen from the other managers, although I admittedly only watched about 4 hours yesterday and most of that was Schiff.

    My kid asked me why Schiff was only a Congressman and not a Senator from Ca.... Wouldn't blow my mind if he changes that someday after this exposure..

    With the Russia hoax, they dropped a new conspiracy theory every few days. This is just the same neo-communist propaganda repeated.

    It's like Democrats are chanting "orange man bad" and "praying" it works.

    We are getting underway. The schedule will take place in roughly the same pattern as yesterday - Roughly 2 hour blocks with small breaks in between.

    Schiff said yesterday that today would focus on an application of the law to the facts for the First Article of Impeachment: Abuse of Power.

    Which really shouldn't take more than 30 minutes..

    Abuse of Power is covered under High Crimes and Misdemeanors..

    I was wrong... only took about 7 seconds...

    Interestingly, Nadler is already speaking within a few minutes. Yesterday, he was largely silent. It has been theorized that this was a result of his conflict with the Trump's legal team on the first night drew a rare rebuke from the Chief Justice for both sides to maintain decorum.

    To be fair though, he is the chairman of the House Judiciary and they were the ones to hear directly from the Constitutional Law Professors. And given that this is the focus of today's presentation, it makes sense that he should take a larger role.

    Not really relevant to today's proceedings, but I just read this quote from Trump.

    The man wants to protect geniuses like Musk (alive!), Edison (Not alive!), and the guy who invented the wheel (not alive and not American!).

    Shouldn't we just impeach him for being a ****ing moron?

    They are taking a page from Fox News. Hit them with the info as much and as repetitively as possible. Only way to penetrate.

    And they have lots they can use against Trump. Never hurts to have more.

    Works for me... If the Founding Fathers weren't so educated and well read, ****ing moron might have found its way into the Impeachment section, but I think they hoped Americans wouldn't be such suckers. Hey, it's not too late... We are always tweaking our rules...

    And very unlikely that clause could have been used before (except perhaps for Warren Harding... I understand he was in the ballpark)

    Fortunately, Donald J. Trump will never make his own protected list...

    Tip from Texas....

    Ted Cruz‏Verified account @tedcruz 2h2 hours ago

    Hour 23 of redundant impeachment arguments. For those following at home: Drinking game—every time House Dems say “drug deal” or “get over it”...drink a shot of milk!

    Why does it surprise nobody that Ted Cruz hasn't mastered the skill of telling time?

    When does Rudy get up there and show us all his evidence of crime by Biden? Surely that’s the cornerstone of their defense right?

    Waiting for Democrats to get to the part where they prove how Trump conspired to interfere with the 2020 election. Nadler is treating Senators (and anyone watching) like they're in a high school history classroom.

    He is going to start releasing it then there is Schweitzer's new book on the Bidens, Profiles in Corruption, that contains 85 pages of supporting documentation and zero unnamed sources.
