'Appalling,' a 'national disgrace,' 'designed to hide the truth': Democrats blast McConnell's impeachment proposalfor President Donald Trump's impeachment trial"appalling," a"national disgrace," and"deliberately designed to hide the truth."

"This is just appalling," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told MSNBC's"Morning Joe," adding that McConnell, R-Ky., was seeking to turn the trial into"a farce" and that under this proposal it would be a"national disgrace."Schumer pledged to offer amendments to change the"most egregious things" McConnell proposed, pleading for four Republicans — the total needed to form a majority — to vote with the Democrats.

I see you listed the house first in your headline. Biased much?

selectedwisdom But lying is totally cool 😎 Carry on

Best part about all of this you Democrats and the media have lost your mind and Trump is winning winning winning

selectedwisdom Bwahahahaha

Watch what you guys say to each other that could be seen as divisive. Now, Republicans you can go back to covering up evidence so you can continue your fealty for the President.

Suck IT demtards.

Let me guess, he phrased his comments in an 'both sides' way instead of admonishing the side thats out and out lying and obstructing and playing solely to the cameras?

You should tell that to trump who doesn't speak in a civil manner.

Show us trump's taxes you weasel.

Roberts complicit in the conspiracy against the United States

'Remember where they are?' In Mitch McConnell's Senate, where nothing gets done? The Senate, Russian Collusion Central? The Senate that shoves out unqualified judges like a puppy mill bitch? Oh, yeah. LOTS of decorum in the Senate these days.

'World's greatest deliberative body' my backside it is.

The Senate has ceased to be a deliberative body. It is owned by one man, MoscowMitch. He blocked Merritt Garland. Refuses to allow legislation to be debated. Refuses to allow evidence and testimony in an impeachment trial.

Nothing the Trump lawyers have said is true, I can't believe judge Roberts hasn't thrown them out!

Fucking weak.

Does Justice Roberts remember where he is? He has the ability to do something he is allowing a sham a cover up! Roberts will go down in history as A LAWLESS SCOTUS!

Is this his idea of doing impartial justice? He swore too!

Sorry, Justice Roberts, but I am certain the US Senate lost that distinction the MOMENT MoscowMitchCoverUp became the majority leader and destroyed every pretense we had of any fair, democratic process in our government SenateCoverup

I haven’t watched enough to comment with certainty but did see Schiff lie over and over. Democrats will fail

World greatest deliberative body........ phew not at the moment......they are a laughingstock.

Yeah, they are in a place full of republican liars that sold their souls to protect a criminal, Donald Trump.

I place my confidence in God. When I saw Judge Roberts a few months ago getting on AF One with Pence, I wondered what that was about and asked myself, what are they plotting? Perhaps I have my answer. Not good.😠

Where are we? No where any of us recognize. So why be respectful? How can we reapect a flock of sheep following frump and dragging down OUR COUNTRY WITH THEM! They are covering a crime and know it! AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE FURIOUS!!! Disgusted, just disgusted.

As if Trumps lawyers care about it...

smakhanian Words without any meaning. Your action speaks for itself!!!

I missed that part 🙁

If you find this to be true Roberts then force them to present witnesses

Is this crooked judge for real ? CROOKEDSCOTUSJUDGESMUSTBEIMPEACHEDVIAAMENDMENTS SUPREMECOURTMUSTBEEXPANDED

Charge & try RadicalLeftDemParty for treason ie attempt Coup in this Republic as in 3rd world sh**hole.

I hope he does too.

pettifogging Really?

They know exactly where their pettifogging fannies are...

This is actually happening 🙄🙄🙄🙄

so, LIE as much as you want, but watch the language. what a joke.

The Dems spent the entire night burping out disgraceful attacks and lies

He’s also in trumps pocket?

“World greatest deliberative body”😂🇺🇸narcissism knows no bounds-not on any level-from man in street up to supreme court judges. 1stly”greatest”can’t be measured. 2ndly a circus is unfolding in front of the whole🌍eyes.The trial is a joke. Reality tv show. No actual deliberation.

With all due respect ChiefJustice, it’s no longer the world’s greatest deliberative body bc GOP have made it into a mockery, a clown show, & they have even done it to your own house that isn’t respected like it used 2 be because of how you got your last 2 justices & who they r.

The house did not lie lie trump cronies

John Roberts is a disgrace

Those Senators should act like they deserve respect. You should too “chief.” Corrupt- all of you.

All the lies. All the bullshit. There’s nothing great about this.

Why does it look like his chair is tipping over? Gravity of the proceedings

define.. greatest.

It’s a start

Yey!!! Chief Justice Roberts woke up! ImpeachmentTrial ImpeachmentDay

Well, not the Supreme Court and the Senate of 2020.

Up yours, Chief Justice. Trump's mouthpieces repeatedly lied in front of you and you know it

Shame Democrats fail to advance any amendment today

I am almost in TEARS watching our Democracy Die!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

What a joke. If only it weren’t so damn troubling. I guess even the judge is spineless. Wow. Makes you wonder.

sortaskeptical Seems like he should take his own advice.

Chief Justice Roberts must do more than tell the children to stop fighting. He represents the highest court in our country. He can SPEAK UP, he can demand DocumentsAndWitnesses to ProtectOurDemocracy

They're in a GOPCoverup led by Chief coverup Justice, grammar nazi John Roberts. Remember that.

Ah well America, it’s over. Even your Chief Justice Roberts is bought & paid for. How can he preside over such an obviously corrupt sham trial & only say that at the end. Rest In Peace Banana Republic-Now you understand what happens in corrupt countries. There is no rule of law.

Lawyers started it

So he finally speaks up and it's about something inconsequential and useless, but when it comes to a fair trial, he's not so interested?

Is he pretending to care? Or does he really care. How about the lies?

11thHour He’d be more impressive if he admonished them to focus on the TRUTH!

He did that so that it appears that he actually has something legit to do! Who. does. he. think. he's. fooling?

11thHour I missed what finally pissed him off?

Took him long enough to say SOMETHING!

Please use a split screen or crawler . Don’t mess up programming!

Let’s see how high this goes.

President left chair 🤨

Trump Impeachment Trial Set to Begin With Clashes Expected in the SenateThe Senate will open the impeachment trial of President Trump in earnest Tuesday by taking up a measure laying out rules for the proceeding, setting up clashes over the process at the very start. Is the media allowed to just point out how absurd this whole thing is, or do they have to pretend it is serious? WSJ must know Nancy is full of BS , right? There is nothing happening here. Three years nothing. o lord... I wonder how many democratic senators who represent Trump heavy districts will stand for what right or for what will give them better re-election odds. 🤔 best part about 'abuse of power': a blanket statement that's an opinion and not a violation of the law. some people are actually allowed to violate the law, like Crooked Hillary (perjury, obstruction of justice), Comey (perjury, treason) and the rest of the gang.

Trump sets off for Davos just as Senate impeachment trial heats upPresident Donald Trump, who took off from Washington on Monday evening, is expected to be choppering into Davos, nestled in the Swiss Alps, to mingle with business leaders and foreign officials on Tuesday just hours ahead of when the US Senate will begin his impeachment trial. Just keeps a camera on him. We all want to see the well earned disrespect he gets. He knows it's a pathetic joke & doesn't take it any more seriously than he should. History is written by winners, and will not be kind to the House Democrats. It's called fleeing the country...
