Adam Schiff rebuked Republican senators for walking out of Donald Trump's impeachment trial on the second full day of the Democratic case to remove the president – but at least 16 senators weren’t even there at the start of his remarks for the historic trial.

Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina presented some of his colleagues with fidget spinners to help them pass the time – in a gesture that underlined the GOP's talking point that the trial is dragging on without presenting new information.

The children's toy, which features three plastic arms that can be spun around a center, is touted as a stress-reliever and sometimes recommended for kids with attention-deficit issues.

'I'm not sure the chief justice is fully aware of just how rare it is, how extraordinary it is for the House members to be able to command the attention of senators sitting silently for hours or even for minutes, for that matter. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the morning starts out every day with the sergeant-in-arms warning you that if you don't, you will be in prison,' Schiff said as he opened the second day of Democrats' arguments in the case against Trump.

I watched Schiff say this LIVE he fully intended to say YOU MUST LISTEN to me or the sergeant of arms will be called and you will be jailed.

We all crack jokes on here about Schiff. We all wonder if this is real life...

But the truth is Schiff is a psychotic POS narcissist that has the media saying he is a great orator.

It is so bad....how bad is it you ask? It is so bad that the GOPe are sick of this mother fricking Schiff.

That famous Patton speech? You know, from real life and the movie? 5 Minutes long.

gettysburg address? 5 minutes long.

There really is wit in brevity.

Nobody will remember anything Schiff said today.

This hasn't just backfired on Democrats, they've suffered a reactor meltdown.

Today is Burr's turn to do the meal he is having Carolina BBQ with full fixins. Probably from Smithfields or MOES BBQ, imagine the delivery bill.

He ordered in locally.
quote:

Each week a different Republican senator hosts the lunch, which is always a favorite event. This week it’s Burr’s turn.

The Tar Heel State Republican is hosting a “Carolina Cookout,” according to a menu obtained by CQ Roll Call. The Intelligence chairman is serving up what looks like a Fourth of July feast.

Hamburgers, hot dogs, baked beans, coleslaw, sweet potato fries, mixed green salad and potato salad will be offered. And because there’s apparently never enough candy or sweets for an impeachment trial, Burr will also be serving up ice cream sundaes.
They are only allowed milk or water while the trial is underway; it is funny watching the aides serve them at their little desks.

theyre a jury hearing a trial.

If you were a juror hearing a trial what do you think would happen if you got up, walked out and gave a live interview on cable news about it? After swearing in and giving an oath that you would be fair and impartial, mind you.

Tell me what would happen to you or any of us, then what should happen to the Republican senators.
