You were there the whole time, right? Just asking.

Yesterday:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
#ImpeachmentTrial Day 1 = epic fail for House managers. Used 13 hrs to grandstand, repeatedly taking rebuttal time just to delay. Attacked senators. Alienated their audience. Admonished by the Chief Justice for unprofessionalism. If this is best they can do, should just stop now
11:21 AM · Jan 22, 2020

How about last night?

Oh, pearl clutching.

There was hilarity and much mocking of this partisan hackery in some of the responses:

Imma need to see some receipts…..oh wait. You voted against producing documents and witnesses.

I just don’t get the blind devotion to Trump. Explain it to me please.

Total BS. Fail by all 53 Republicans to defend the Constitution and our democracy. If Trump is innocent as you all keep saying, the evidence would exonerate him. Anything else is basically pleading the 5th.

WTH are you talking about?? The HOUSE has a boatload of evidence, and the self victimized Senate are the ones unwilling to review the evidence, even to the point of not allowing it OR witness in a TRIAL. “Sorry”

My husband and I watched 90% of the Trump trial yesterday. Here’s what we thought: Dems seek the truth, Republicans are covering up Trump’s abuse of power and obstruction.

Americans want documents and witnesses. We want facts. We want the truth. We want a true and real trial. We don’t want a cover up.

Our democracy is worth it! #ImpeachmentHearings

They did a remarkable job. They are laying out a strong case.Why hide the documents that prove the truth? Why hide them? There is only one reason and it’s obvious what that reason is. You’re a lawyer. It’s obvious they are lying and don’t want those notes to prove they are lying.

What would we do without Republican Poutrage?

It keeps both the fainting couch and vapors industries alive!!

“I was GOING to convict, but your deeply uncivil language FORCED me to install Stalin!”

Just saw you on C-Span. Did you somehow miss every single intelligence agency agree that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump? Even Pompeo! This is about a corrupt man, being corrupt 24/7. You’re either too stupid for the senate or completely amoral.

It could possibly be both.

Correction: both counsels were admonished.

“I think it is appropriate for me to admonish both the House managers and the President’s counsel in equal terms to remember that they are addressing the world’s greatest deliberative body.”

Heh. And we should probably admonish the Chief Justice for his inaccurate statement.

#EpicFail of the @GOP. You just stood on C-Span and said that the special counsel found “no collusion.” He found open cooperation despite individuals who actually lied in their interview. He also found 10 instances of open obstruction. There is no call ”transcript” either. @POTUS

You know what is unprofessional? This tweet. At least pretend you are taking this seriously.

What did you watch?
The chief justice told both sides to cool it
“. . . to admonish both the house managers and the president’s counsel in equal terms . . .”

One side told verified lies and was unprepared.
The other side showed evidence from sworn testimony & were prepared.

Well, there is the cloakroom.

trump just said he had all the materials. If he sooooo innocent than why not release the documents and question Bolton, etc. You are the embarrassment.

Ah the WH Lawyers were admonished as well – you see Josh some of us are watching – tell the truth because we will call you on it! If you like I can clip Roberts admonishing both sides from CSPAN if you like!

Either speak like a professional, hold a fair trial, and decide the case on the merits, or resign.

Last I checked, the House managers played out the cards they have, namely the proven truth. The fact you don’t believe proven facts is on you. Mitch wants a trial with no witnesses? He doesn’t want to require the W-H to release the subpoenaed documents? Why? Trump has them.

Trump admitted in Davos this morning that he does have all the documents but Congress can’t have them? This is a mockery of a trial, run by a guy who loves breaking the rules and is proud of it. Will Mitch allow new info? Nope…He knows none of it is exculpatory. Nice try Josh.

That’s right. Cheat and brag about it. Puff up when you frustrate your opposition. Just remember, the president doesn’t care about the law and he doesn’t care about you.

Josh, you’re a contender to be the worst senator out there today. And that’s saying something. I don’t know how the hell you got elected, but as a Missourian, I’m so embarrassed.

That’s all you got? No arguments or denying substance of allegations?
When you can’t defend the facts, you attack the process.
Brilliant strategy josh, oh and very worthy of the “r” behind your name.

The fail was the Senate not voting for Fairness. #ImpeachmentTrial #ImpeachmentTrialRules We the people are watching. Fox News is not our only news source.

Remember that Oath you took…we all do. I can assure you that I will do everything I can to make sure you don’t get reelected when your time comes up. I’m sick of the cover-ups and it’s clear you’re up to your neck in this crap.

I voted against a fair trial and to do my job to protect the constitution because @RepJerryNadler was mean to me….. Forget facts, forget what’s right, forget what the American public deserves and wants…. a Dem was mean so I will do as they accused me of, a cover up

Oh, que up the #GOPFauxOutRageMachine
You are so afraid of Donald Trump you are incapable of doing your job as a Senator in a CO-EQUAL branch of government. Resign your position. We Missourians need a real Senator with a spine.

We had one. Once.

Go figure, the Senator from the Show-Me state standing behind the President who refuses to produce documentation or allow witnesses.

As a Missourian who voted Republican in 2016…that will not happen again in 2020. I am embarrassed that you are my Senator. Stop playing partisan politics and seek the truth no matter where it leads you.

He said “”It is appropriate at this point for me to admonish both the House managers and the president’s counsel in equal terms”, why did you leave out “the president’s counsel” in your discussion of the admonishment?

He’s a partisan hack? Just a wild guess.

The Chief Justice was clear in his comments that he was speaking to both sides of the case, not just House Managers or the president’s team. And some of the mis-truths from the defense team were pretty galling if you track these things. And I do.

Hawley, you have shown that you don’t care about impartial justice and only want to continue this partisan cover up. If you had any integrity you would resign into obscurity.

This constituent is embarassed to have you as a senator.

Do your job. Look at the facts. Quit twisting things and take your oath seriously. The Democratic prosecutors are laying out the facts. The @GOP is spewing rhetoric. And seriously? GOP senators hiding out while Schiff was speaking?? Grow up.

The other side of the coin is that you and all the Republicans are stonewalling, disallowing the admission of witnesses and documents. America wants a fair–keyword: FAIR–trial, and we’re NOT getting it.

The epic fail belongs to Trump’s lawyers. And Roberts wasn’t just talking to House Managers.

“I think it is appropriate for me to admonish both the House managers & President’s counsel in equal terms to remember that they are addressing the world’s greatest deliberative body.”

too bad Roberts doesn’t think it’s his job to admonish the republican members of the “world’s greatest deliberative body” when they walk out of the trial against the rules.

i am a part of the audience and you alienate me daily.

Ouch.

Epic fail is by you and your fellow cult members that only care about covering up the crimes of Trump and keeping your power to enrich yourselves. Resign since you lied already about being impartial. No trial has no documents or witnesses.

You forgot to mention that the Chief Justice admonished Trump’s attorneys. You can’t lie by omission. If this is the best you can do, should just stop now.

Epic fail on senate republicans. Nothing more to be said.

Moscow Mitch put together rules that would make sure this remained the biggest coverup since the beginning of the Republic. The whole thing is Pettifoggery at its best!

Maybe everyone could examine documents and listen to witnesses. You know, examine evidence like how legal proceedings work in the US. Just a thought.

Both. And trumps lawyers straight out lied about things and had to be fact checked. We are watching. We saw you just want to coverup.

With all due respect, Senator, I listened to the entire thing. Can you please tell me what constituted “attack”?

It was a very good presentation. I would know because I saw it. The American people aren’t stupid they can see it for themselves.

Allow witnesses and documents.

Yes, Josh Hawley was an epic fail for working to continue obstructing justice of a criminal president on behalf of dark money donors who love their tax breaks & obliterating protecting of their workers & the environment to increase profits

There’s that.

Uh, what were you watching…cause this wasn’t just on Fox. And specifically, what case like this have you tried as a lawyer?

Well?

You must not have been watching the same proceedings as I was.

There are rumors.

Stop defending the indefensible.

Oh look, Josh Hawley is attacking the process again.

Really? That’s your takeaway? I guess you missed a lot hiding out in the cloak & dagger room

You’re embarrassing yourself. And you’re embarrassing us.

My high school debate team would have wiped the floor with Trumps team, and we sucked.

Ouch.

But they have evidence, Josh. Lots of evidence.

And on and on…

One of Missouri’s dim bulbs is making a mark.

Today, from the great Charles P. Pierce:

Josh Hawley Is the Thirstiest Man in Washington, D.C.
In a town full of thirsty people, Josh Hawley is crawling across the Kalahari. Meanwhile, he and every other senator knows the president* is guilty as sin.
By Charles P. Pierce
Jan 22, 2020

WASHINGTON—Let me tell you something I know for certain. Listen, for this thing is true. There is a rookie U.S. Senator named Josh Hawley. He comes from Missouri and he is a Republican. He replaced MSNBC’s Claire McCaskill, who was a nominal Democrat, because Missouri is one of those states that has steadily lost its mind over the last two decades, which we’re not supposed to notice because it is impolite to all those nice people who carried the prion disease into our politics. Anyway, in a town full of thirsty people, Josh Hawley is a man crawling across the Kalahari. And this is the thing that I know for certain. The most dangerous place to stand in Washington D.C. is any place between Senator Josh Hawley and a live microphone….

[….]

Around midday on Wednesday, there was a bank of microphones and an exaltation of television cameras in the basement of the Capitol, where the little trams disgorge senators on their way to the chamber from their various office buildings. This is prime quote-stalking territory, even with the ludicrous restrictions that have been put in place, especially for these impeachment days. The microphones and cameras had been lined up for a scheduled press conference with the House managers of the impeachment trial. They were running a little late. Meanwhile, Hawley got off the tram, spotted the microphones and cameras, and reacted like a wolverine in a meat locker. His closing speed was nothing short of stunning. He was already at full boil by the time he’d reached his mark.

[….]

The people in the first rows of the galleries leaned over a little further, and the people in the rows behind them stretched and craned their necks. Down and to Schiff’s left, Mitch McConnell was holding the arms of his chair so tightly that his knuckles went bloodless and his lips were clenched tighter than his fingers were. You could not have pulled a pin out of McConnell’s ass with a tractor.

It was only a moment, and it passed, and McConnell soon slipped back into the placid mien of The Man Who Has The Votes. But the president* is guilty as sin, and they all know it, and they all know they can’t do anything about it because more senators don’t want to do anything about than do want to do anything about it. But the president* is as guilty as Jesse James, and they all know it. Every one of them knows it. They have to decide if they can live with that knowledge, and the tragedy is that they get to decide whether we have to live with it, too.

Go. Read the whole thing.

January 20, 2017. A protest rally and march from the Liberty Memorial in Kansas City, organized quickly via social media, with over a thousand participating:

Women hold up the sky…and are a force in the streets.

Fuck Trump.

Our hands are bigger than yours.

Not my pussy…

Tiny hands, huge asshole.

It feels like a lifetime.

Actually: Articles of Impeachment [pdf]

What a maroon.

Well, they tried to impeach Ben Franklin when he was president for inventing electricity. They’ll stoop to anything. Still, America is the oldest and greatest country ever

Definitely not in the loop, eh? Not the best timing.

Yesterday afternoon:

Rep. Jason Smith @RepJasonSmith
Speaker Pelosi knows her #impeachmentsham was a fraud. Her work was so sloppy and negatively received that Senate Democrats are asking her to not send the #ArticlesOfImpeachment over to the Senate because they lack any evidence and it is not something they want to vote on.
2:02 PM – 2 Jan 2020

There was much hilarity in the responses:

These people all testified about what they knew. We watched them on tv. It wasn’t a sham. You are lying, like all of the republicans. Party over country.

Have your boys testify if you aren’t scared of truth coming out. Can’t have it both ways.

so tired of @Gop #Fairytales. Too much evidence to claim innocence. #CallTheWitnesses #RemoveandIndictTrump

I see @SpeakerPelosi has taken up residence in your head.

you don’t keep up with the news, do you?

Those e-mails.

Ummmmm, did you just wake up?
The truth is crumbling your lies and trump’s defense on an hourly basis.
Please stop your perverse need to please the criminal in the WH and do your dam job.

Dick tweet. But one must consider the source. The Party of Liars (Republicans) can’t be trusted and are therefore irrelevant

Sham? You worship a corrupt criminal.

You’re a waste of space.

Resign

You are out of touch with reality!

Actually, they appear to be considering additional impeachment action. And now Trump is doing exactly what he accused his predecessor of doing. Starting a war as a distraction and to boost his support going into a election.

Fake Representative.

Sycophant works, too.

Who are you again??

You think your constituents are stupid? There’s more and more evidence to support impeachment everyday. Read the unredacted emails Jason. We see you. #CorruptGOP

E-mails. The irony.

Everything you said is a complete and total lie. Stop treating your constituents like they’re idiots.

Maybe you should pull your head out of Donald’s ass you wimp

“Thoughtless Sycophant” would be a much more family friendly turn of phrase.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

This afternoon:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Dems said impeachment was URGENT. Now they don’t want to have a trial, because they have no evidence. In real world, if prosecution doesn’t proceed with case, it gets dismissed. So on Monday, I will introduce measure to dismiss this bogus impeachment for lack of prosecution
2:07 PM · Jan 2, 2020

Some of the responses:

Does this mean you support have a real trial with witnesses? If so, tell McConnell. If not, you’re a hypocrite with this tweet.

lol bruh I went to law school with you – you know this is trash please stop

You are such a bootlicking hack. Happy New Year.

Hawley is such an elitist with no respect for his voters. Per @KagroX “The articles of impeachment were adopted on December 18th.vOn December 19th, the Senate went into recess, and @HawleyMO and his colleagues left Washington, and haven’t been back in session since.”

Congratulations! You’re a big fat liar because you know this isn’t true.

Lack of evidence?! That’s laughable. Why is the president refusing to allow witnesses and refusing to release any documents? Because as today’s document dump proves, Trump is guilty and everyone knew it.

The fact that you claim to be a Constitutional lawyer in your bio & you would put out this bullshit is absolutely pathetic. You have absolutely no clue what serving your Country & upholding your oath to the US Constitution really is.

Sad little man.

pretty brazen tweets given today’s revelations, sir. if you are so excited about it, come have a town hall. i live in the kansas city area. would love to hear your thoughts in person. i would call and ask for one, but no one answers the phone in DC.

Hawley is not really the Senator from Missouri. He represents the (unknown) political interests that own him and he will do what he is told even when it’s downright embarrassing like today.

The articles of impeachment were adopted on December 18th.

On December 19th, the Senate went into recess, and @HawleyMO and his colleagues left Washington, and haven’t been back in session since.

Or, and I’m just spitballing here – you could support a real trial with witnesses.

If you want a trial, go ahead and call witnesses. Call the Pentagon officials who were told to block Ukraine funding even after they questioned the legality of it.

Sir, this is Trump University Law School

Hey man, did you see the emails that were released today?

Probably NOT. It’s hard for them to keep up.

They’re pretty slow readers. And they skip the parts that make them feel icky.

It wouldn’t have been taken up in Senate until next week regardless. Stop the gaslighting!

Have you ever told the truth in your life?

Finally a republican willing to be Trump’s lackey and help him obstruct justice.

It looks like the KoolAid is strong in the Show Me state. So strong you don’t want to hear witnesses testify. It must be the “please DON’T show me because I put party over country” KoolAid.

Dude, the news drops are just killing you.
Plan on more and more coming out, because the Orange Chaos Mobster has a history of this kind of thing.

Disgusting. Everything stated in the whistleblower complaint has been confirmed by witness after witness. Hawley part of conspiracy to prevent further documents and testimony Trump is hiding.

Cracker Jack called. They want that law degree back.

Ah, elitist.

Lol there’s “no evidence” because your boy is obstructing us from getting it.

Hawley is an embarrassment to Missouri. Don’t expect honor, integrity, sense of duty, decency, honesty or putting country first. He is all about his own ambition.

If permitting witnesses would exonerate Trump, you’d vote to do so. Instead, you’re violating your oath and helping Trump rig his trial.

Spin it however you want, sycophant, but no one is going to trust you unless you allow a fair trial to happen.

Good Lord. You are a Senator?

And on and on.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

They’re like that.

Yep: “We’re on an express elevator to hell, going down!”

Yep:

Public support for Trump impeachment at all-time high: Poll
Public support for Donald Trump’s removal from office is the highest it has ever been, according to a new poll. Fifty-five percent of those asked said they were in favor of the president’s conviction by the Senate, a figure that shot up from 48 percent the week before.

This afternoon, via Twitter:

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
Since day one, the Democrats’ efforts to impeach the president have been completely driven by politics.
via @FaceTheNation
[….]
2:14 PM · Dec 22, 2019

Some of the responses:

“Since day one” is not really a very good refutation of the FACTS that Trump extorted an ally fighting Russia to start an investigation on one of Trump’s political opponents. The only reason Trump’s scheme didn’t work is that he was caught. Do you disagree with these FACTS?

Vote to convict, Senator. You know it’s the right thing to do.

Missourian here. It’s not political, he broke his oath. The only ones playing politics here is the right. Whipping votes in the house and now making it clear they will not be impartial in the senate. You have no integrity.

And your reticence to debate legislation is too.

You could ask #MoscowMitch about that.

Merrick Garland. The Constitution. Congressional Oath. #IMPOTUS

I think they were driven by the president breaking the law.

No. They’ve been driven by Trump’s continual invitations to foreign nations to interfere in our elections on his own behalf.

Liar

I can’t believe how far you have fallen, and all this to protect the type of man we teach children to avoid.

Nope! Driven solely by his corrupt and illegal behavior. Most corrupt president in history.

Uh, no. He is impeached because he violated his oath of office and obstructed a legitimate congressional investigation

Pretty much the same way you carry yourself. Always political not what’s best for MO.

No. Bringing charges against a POTUS who bribes or attempts to bribe a foreign leader to interfere in a U.S. election is NOT political act.

No, but your protection of Trump has been entirely driven by politics and cowardice. Vote to convict and remove when the articles get to the Senate.

Furthermore, considering what you treasonous pack of racists did to Barack Obama’s nominees you have no room to talk.

how about a town hall to discuss? if you are SO confident he did nothing wrong, you shouldn’t have a problem explaining it to us in person.

Not gonna happen. Ever.

Missourian here. Respectfully, the Dems are honoring the facts. The president needs to be removed from office.
Country over party.
Dignity over dollars.

Pot? Oh, Pot? Do you hear the kettle calling you black?

You suck.

You would be factually incorrect. Many communities offer free/low-cost adult ed courses in subjects like American Gov’t, Civcs, etc.. Might want to look into it.

The odds of sounding like an uneducated fool, as you do here, would decrease dramatically.

Ouch.

You have turned your back on the Constitution and the country in order to protect a criminal potus and your corrupt party

No Sweetie, I want him impeached because he’s an unethical putz.

Senator you are tarnishing you’re reputation and I’m so ashamed of my state.

Bullshit! The guy is corrupt as hell! Aren’t you from the show me state? Show us the witnesses. You dishonor the process!

He has worked himself into impeachment like a lemming on a cliff.The Russian back channel, firing Comey & guessing giving more secrets to Putin than just Israeli information.
You are covering bc he has done far worse than we know at this time. But, you know.

Still waiting for an actual town hall meeting by you.

Senator, I live in Missouri. And you are full of crap.

Driven by the fact that he’s an unrepentant criminal. That makes you an accomplice.

You’re a liar

That was blunt.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

Well, then, impeach this!

It happened.

We thought we’d take a first hand look. In a state that turned in 2016 by the smallest of margins and which is suppressing the 2020 vote by purging hundreds of thousands registered voters:

A lot of empty space. Is bovine suffrage a thing now in the upper midwest?
