McConnell putting off impeachment until it was "unconstitutional" is exactly the amount of hypocrisy I expected from the GOP.
Not GOP the N A Z I.
I mean - except it makes no sense that it would be unconstitutional and the document itself doesn't support it being unconstitutional.
Honestly, even if they don't convict they should clearly state that it *wasn't* because of a question of it being 'unconstitutional' to convict after resignation.
@@redbarchetta8782 The National Administration of Zombie-like idiots
@@egamruf And even if impeachment post-term was unconstitutional....he was impeached *during his term.* The House impeaches, not the Senate. It's an Impeachment Trial, not a Trial Impeachment. You don't get away scot-free after defrauding your company just because your contract expired and you don't work there anymore. You still have to go stand in front of a Judge, to determine punishment (or lack thereof).
It gets better: Schoen made a lengthy argument about how putting it off until Trump was out of office was a tactic by Pelosi to deny him the usual judge for a Presidential impeachment.
Castor: Impeachments are supposed to be rare.
So are Capitol sieges, yet here we are.
No no, he's got a point.

A message to America from the rest of the world:
Stay out of our businesses if you can't handle your own.
How sad that the most powerful nation in the world can’t conduct a simple trial and present enough evidence to convict , but the verdict is left up to Trumps supporters. WTF!!
Lindsey Graham, during the impeachment of Bill Clinton, “impeachment is meant to bring honor back to the office”. Also, in 2016, “if we nominate Trump, we will lose this party and we will deserve it”.
Convenient how now he doesn't remember saying any of that stuff, and ignores it if he's reminded of it.
And the House Impeachment Managers were caught doctoring evidence several times on this case which is far more serious than anything you just said, but keep putting your fingers in your ears and closing your eyes like a child.
MORON you know so very Little

@@briancrooks5982 You're so funny. Go find someplace that any of those people encouraged people to riot - they were encouraging peaceful protests. In the second place, go find where any of those people encouraged their followers to go attack the Capitol building and overthrow the democratic process.

So some "Jurists, after swearing an oath, failed to look at the evidence being presented? They need to be removed from the proceedings, or made to watch it in its entirety, or be removed from their Jurists duties, and not have their vote count .

Exactly! Post & Remember all the names of the Republicans who have sided with Drumpf through all this & vote them out of office when the term is up for re-election. Remove any Republican from federal office permanently who was involved in the insurrection & the rally right before it.
Are all the Democrats perfect? Hell no. Same goes for Republicans But it’s easy to see ones which actually care about democracy, upholding the constitution, the American people as a whole & doing the right thing. No unity without accountability or something like this can happen again.

When they said Trumps lawyers would get 2 hours to defend.. Ugh.. Let's just say I put them on mute after the first half hour when no real laws or points were made. Maybe they thought that if they talked long enough and repeated enough times, just maybe it might brainwash senators to believe their malarkey.. Or put them to sleep.

Alternate take: Cherish every moment of knowing your are superior!
We're not, but that doesn't allow us to be naughty ALL the time...
I feel like that is because of the lack of how kids are raised and what is expected of them as adults. Schools try to teach kids today to respect others. But schools don't really emphasize how. And its hard to enforce kids when parents don't add to those teachings. There is also the sense of entitlement. Some of that entitlement is just from being naive and not having to deal with hardships. With no hardships, there is the lack of understanding the sacrifices others have to make. Or a reason to retain that knowledge.
Also, as an adult, there is nothing to stop or create consequences, except for crimes. With the poor quality of jobs, its easier to tell your boss to screw off and find a new one than to deal with something they don't like to do. And easier to leave because the job doesn't respect their workers by providing benefits and raises. You don't like someone? Well then you can easily block them out of your life. Doesn't matter if they are your brother or sister, mother or father - Blocked in a split second and then distance themselves from the particular person. It could be for anything stupid. Like what you wear, what you look like, how you act, how you talk, how you walk, etc. Also, it is easier to find things that you like or prefer. So, people close their minds to other opinions. And if they can't except it.... then oh well...
I'm just confused on how people care more about themselves than others. I guess when you reach the peak of youth, you have nothing else to do but play games on other people's lives. Aka Ego and power. Like these people in the government have money, nice homes, nice cars, and enough to retire. And yet, they don't leave and don't care about anything but their egos. They wouldn't have to worry about egos if they did the right thing for the general public. Ironically, a fair number of them have been married at some point. They choose stress over going somewhere nice to retire and not worry about endless bickering. At this point, you don't even need to make sense in what you say.
I think there's probably a name for that condition in the DSM 5.

@Peter Lorimer What other systems? I'm talking about a system where all legal parties work with the evidence to determine guilt or innocence and that we don't create a side who has a vested interest in hiding or destroying or misleading evidence.
If one sides job is to keep someone out of jail and the other sides job is to put someone in jail and one side is smarter, more charming, or more charismatic then that side is probably going to win. Where is the justice in that system? How is it any better than no system.
Excellent point
Impeachments are rare. The last one (before Nixon, Clinton, Trump) was spaced by a150 years hiatus. To grant 2 to one man is unthinkable.
I wonder if those Senators were ashamed or if it was a bit of PTSD, because they had to know the optics of looking away. Maybe they thought it'd be better than the optics of boldly looking at it.

Insane Rodent: I'm not sure that trump's defense attorneys ever heard of the "Best Best" program.
Yeah he should help biden since he likes children so much, and you all voted for him dispite mounds of evindence! But at least he is not Orange richt?
To be fair, that is your job as an attourney.
To Bruce Castor: " “At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.
Everyone in this room is now dumber having listened to it. I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.”
😂😂😂😂😂
omg YASSSSS :D
How can Mr. Colbert describe our Congress as bathroom? This is so disgusting and disrespectful.
Just once I'd like to see the rebuttal lawyers open by saying:
"Sure, sure!!!" In a sarcastic way...
Can we still sell Florida?
Wait a few years and it will be under water.
Looooooool
Why don't we do like Bugs Bunny did and saw it off.
does anybody want it?
Oh how I hope the play Susan Collins words "I'm sure he has learned his lesson now" after the last impeachment.
Susan Collins is currently voting to impeach.
Find 12 other Republican Senators who are not of the 5 voting with her and Romney to change their minds.
@@evannibbe9375 We'll see what her vote is regarding to or not to convict. I guess she's safe to vote to convict since she has 6 more years until re-election to shake that off that vote.
@@evannibbe9375 She was one Senator that people expected to vote against 45 last time though, that's why her words about him learning his lesson should be haunting her
Sane republicans please call your senators and tell them to impeach!
I didnt vote for Collins but she has done some helpful things for the state. Lots of independents up here.
should bring back the auto tune memes and do a remix of her words over the capital riot
It's about preventing the rewriting of history.
I remember listening to to Castor, and thinking "what is this guy talking about? It has nothing to do with the trial".
Turns out, I was not the only one. LOL
“Words have power” is a pretty bad argument to make when your client is on trial for incitement...
Ha , well done none.
I hope they end up using that against him lol.
@@gorrillawarfair I know I would.
And when he can't even spell most words properly.

If the Republicans had done their job the first time, there wouldn't have had to be a second impeachment.
I actually McConnell was president during trumps **term! No ifs, ands or buts him and Lindsey Graham were president during that time! trump**,was just the mouthpiece. Trump got played by Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham!,!
We all know they were using him to push through their judges. The rest of them showed a lack of moral and ethical courage.
I halfway agree with you. But I think the 6th would've happened sooner & we'd have had to have the same second impeachment & then possibly a third & so on & so forth.
Acquitted! Victory! The swamp WILL be drained.
The "Try having s*x it's way more fun" Got me rolling! 😂
Republican senators after the first impeachment. “Trump has learned his lesson”, 2021 you know what happened on Jan 6.
Alas, that lesson he learned? That he could really get away with whatever he wanted. Jan 6 is a direct result of those who gave him a pass last year.
"I believe the virus has learned it's lesson "
Sen S Collins
@@rascallyrabbit717 trump is a virus isn't he. Elected one - but it spread .. how many were in the White House - making MillionS $$ .. of hard earned Taxpayers money .. while we go hungry - they laugh at us. Did WE the PEOPLE learn our lesson yet ?
Yep. Our latest video of hope and justice you may enjoy czcams.com/video/zToRRTT7Jc4/video.html

When you know your client is guilty, it’s hard to find smart lawyer who would be willing to take the job. You end up with Frito, the Costco educated lawyer.
Frito Pendejo!

Costco has some semblance of standards. Although they need to do something about their pillow collection.
Yes we all know Trump is guilty of inciting an insurrection....
Thanks for your read
How is the weather in the US? Here sunny but chilly cold. God bless America always!
Meanwhile , out in the real world, any reasonable jury would unanimously convict in less than an hour, lunch included.
well only if they weren't allowed to wear their hoods in the court/jury room
For sure! But in Rump's bizzaro world, nothing is fair, nothing is predictable by good, moral people.
I feel like Stephen's monologues have improved during 2020. The lack of audience, that laughed at literally anything, has really forced the team to improve.
Agreed
I agree... I prefer this show without an audience
Bot
Yeah it’s like now the crew is trying to make each other laugh instead of the audience.
All he does is shit on Trump. He has practiced doing that so much he should be an expert. The man might be a little lost without being able to mention Trump. What’s good about Biden? He’s not Trump. That’s the campaign.
It's the Pitts for me 😂😂🤣
Not sure why this popped up in my feed (in 2022), but I'm all for it! I miss this intimate, casual, no audience noise, format. Though, I realize Stephen is a comedian, and the live audience is like a drug that no one will feign a "war on"
I wish they could rerun these "A Late Show" episodes either once a week or when he goes on vacation, etc.
The GOP senators are going to put their own political self-interest ahead of America's interests. Wouldn't be the first time.
Yep, most of them won't vote for impeachment because all they care about is their own re-election. Selfish scumbags and traitors.
But it should be their last.
@@jasonarthurs3885 It should, but it probably isn't. Most Republican voters either don't care or are too dumb to understand what's going on.
@@Mortac well, they wanna ostracize themselves from society like that they can. Younger generations hate these people. It’s over for them. The only danger we have is a repeat of 2016 of Trump somehow runs again
Haven't they been doing that for well over a decade?
ok, that was the best Don and the Giant Impeach opening yet
Absolutely. Don should hire the Giant Impeach as his defense counsel.
"This is what I wore to work today" as he's dressed like he drove his boat to his country club
POOR CASTOR, HOW UNPROFESIONAL, VERY UNPREPARED. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
