Trevor Noah has some sharp words for bored senators at Trump's impeachment
An impeachment trial is a fairly important event, given that it will literally decide whether or not the president stays in office.
But some senators are apparently not all that enthralled. In the clip above, Daily Show host Trevor Noah recaps how some of them have been absent during Donald Trump's trial, or even leaving early.
"This is not a good look, people," says Noah. "Senators are just leaving the room and then doing their own thing in the middle of an impeachment trial? You can't just walk away. This isn't a conversation with Ted Cruz."
Noah goes on to emphasise that these senators are jurors in a trial against the president.
"You can't just go home early because you're bored," he says. "That's your job!
"Imagine if normal people tried to pull that shit in the middle of jury duty. Huh? If someone was like, 'Urgh, now I've gotta hear from the victim's wife?!'"
He makes a very good point.
We are allowing one guy to change our entire system and way of governing.
ReplyDeleteno we're not. We're allowing an entire political party to use any and every excuse to use the constitution and our tax dollars to play politics. Fixed it.
DeleteWe'll see if you sing this tune when the parties change and all this tolerated nonsense becomes a way of life.
DeleteCause none of them are taking it seriously
ReplyDeleteIt's political theater. None of it matters really. If you think otherwise, then you don't really understand what's happening.
ReplyDeleteit may be a bit of a theatrical display, but it does matter as it’s a required portion of presidential impeachment. If you think otherwise, you don’t understand Article 1, Section 3 of the Constitution.
DeleteI understand just fine. But this utterly is meaningless on multiple levels. First, it's a republican controlled Senate and they simply won't vote against him. So utterly meaningless theater. Second, if you believe there is any actual difference between the two parties, and that your vote counts, or that we are a variant of a democracy, then you are part of the sheep and you have bought into the sales pitch. We are an oligarchy run by huge corporations and the military industrial complex. Politicians and parties are part of the control system designed to keep the sheep managed.
Deletewe don’t follow the Constitution because we’re sheep, we follow it because we live in America. You don’t get to tell people what they do or don’t really understand if you don’t understand that.
DeleteThere is a difference between the two parties. If you don’t understand that, you’re delusional. If there was no difference, there would be no need for our current impeachment trial. If Democrats and Republicans were the same, then they wouldn’t have voted on party lines to impeach in the House.
Although there may not be nearly enough votes in the Senate to remove Trump, impeachment and its process are constitutionally necessary to attempt to remove him.
I’d rather be called a sheep and understand constitutional law than someone so overcome with self indulgence and arrogance that they thumb their nose at the Constitution and call people who understand it sheep.
incumbents enjoy a 97% re-election rate. Both parties will grow government and keep increasing your taxes. There is no difference. But you can keep believing what you like. I'd guess you also believe government is inherently good and is truly looking out for everyone. Tasty koolaid friend.
DeleteBecause the impeachment is a joke and theatrics. People cant accept hell win 2020 and country is powerful, doing well. They need negative control. If the Dems wanted a landslide win and most of the country hated him, then leave him in power to lose against the election. But we all know that ain't happening and why this must. Suck on those facts
ReplyDeleteYeah I don't care for Trump either. That guy has to go.
ReplyDeleteCorrect, if I pulled that on jury service, I'd be found in contempt of court. What this shows for Americans is contempt for their constitution and the USA electorate. It like watching a banana republic
ReplyDeleteThis is part of the problem. They are normal people.
ReplyDeleteLmao of course they walked out. Nobody’s gonna tell the real truth of how Schiff was telling the SAME stupid lie every impeachment trial day. The same lie he’s been telling for months now. Of course y’all wouldn’t know because the demoncrats know you idiots aren’t following the whole trial
ReplyDelete"It's a national security problem" You mean like a president tweeting where he is going to launch missiles? Or maybe a leader that threatens war crimes on twitter
ReplyDeleteOr, it's kinda like a presidiot inviting a Russian spymaster into the Oval Office.
DeleteThat kind of security threat.
Or how about a president who gave Russia classified information from Israel?
DeleteRep Jeffries: If you don’t know....
ReplyDeleteBlack ladies in the audience: now you know
Not only black ladies !!! I'm a french white yound woman and I did the same !! so good !!
DeleteAlso Hamilton fans. Except we’re mentally adding “ ...Thomas Jefferson has left the floor.”
DeleteInterviewer: Why are you so against John Bolton testifying?
ReplyDeleteTrump: Well, he knows certain things. Dangerous things. Like the fact that I’m guilty. That is very dangerous for me.
🤣🤣🤣 Love this comment.
DeleteHe could literally say that and not a single senator would change their vote on impeachment

ReplyDelete"Why are we here?"
ReplyDeleteHey. No. Let's not pretend this is a profound, philosophical question.
Judge: So how do you plead?
ReplyDeleteTrump: looks to lawyers
Lawyers: mouths ‘not guilty’
Trump: Hot milky?
Lawyers: 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
LMAO
DeleteThat's so hamberder!
DeletePerfect!!
DeleteListening to the Senate is boring, but Trevor’s recap is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteGrumpy captain crunch lol
DeleteOh come on! It was interesting the Republicans were so funny!
DeleteYou are so right i litturaly fell asleep at work today while listening to it
DeleteTrump is right "you can't have someone who is a national security."
ReplyDeleteThat is why he must be cuffed and caged, it's for the security of the nation !!
Deletelol
DeleteIt’s a killer when they have to actually spend all day setting in their seats as opposed to being on recess or just putting in a few token hours a day.
