  1. If they don’t watch the videos, then they should be disqualified or recuse themselves. They’re not fit to judge competently.

    1. The problem is they are immune to the shame. They will only be shamed by people they donโ€™t matter to them. Polarization means their base will support them regardless.

    2. @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.

    1. 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.

    1. @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

    2. @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! ๐Ÿ˜‰ see what i did there l.o.l.

    1. you have that backwards open your eyes. you missed the last 35 years of america being sold off to the rest of the world

    2. @SPUG Rich One of the biggest profiteers of the selling of the United States is currently undergoing a trial in the Senate.

    1. 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.

  2. The congressional equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and singing la-la-la-la-la …

    Freaking ostriches, the lot of them.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

    1. @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.

  7. GOP jurors trying to ignore evidence presented at trial? Not complying with their duty as jurors? Are they disqualifying themselves?

  8. This is heartbreaking
    Senators Scott Cruz Rubio
    deplorable cowards busyness with papers instead of
    due diligence to protect democracy

    1. We need to focus our efforts for the 2022 midterms and expand the majority for Dems in the House of Representatives and the Senate.

  9. They have been turning their heads and denying reality for years and years. Now they lose everything forever. ๐ŸŒŠ
