Has anyone heard ONE WORD that even attempted to rebut the Democrats' evidence or factually

contradict their assertions of Trump's wrongdoing?

I would love to see some talking head display a chart divided by a vertical line down the middle. The left side would be labelled "Evidence of Trump's Impeachable Conduct" and would be filled with numbered bullet points ending with a lengthy quote from the July 25th "transcript" and the "Russia, if you're listening---" quote from the campaign.

The right side would be labelled "Evidence Rebutting or Contradicting the Entries on the Left Side of This Chart". That side would be totally barren of any entries.

They yell and scream about Spanky's "innocence", deride the process, bash the witnesses. He's guilty as sin and then know it, but won't admit to it.

Only Republicans can do that...except that they don't. They purged all of the intelligent Republicans from the Party in the 80's. So, they can conduct indictless investigations, like Hillary, in advance of the 2016 elections - bring on "0" indictments - but benefit from their "investigations" by electing a crooked President.

They, only they can investigate....which we know they won't, unless it is a Democratic President that they want to kneecap.

The organized crime party....with Putin's approval.

So much so that that guy Buck had to bring up Kathy Griffin and Robert DeNiro because they dislike Trump

I wish someone would scream out what about trump calling the FBI scum. Why, oh why isn't he held responsible for anything?

As for presenting a rebuttal, MAGAts’ idea of “truth” comes from Rush, who rants daily; then Tucker, Hannity and Laura bring the rage and disinformation at night.

Up is down, Trump is sent by god, he’s “owning the libs,” which is paramount to the cult.

This entire travesty is about as Orwellian as things can get.
