As the comments on that site show, there are some people who just keep parroting the party line (cult’s line, I would say). They even deny or come close to denying that the House of Rep. has the impeachment power. They might have a point about partisan but they ignore that it should apply just as much to Republicans as Democrats. This critique completely collapses, of course, in the face of the near complete stonewalling by the White House, the complete lack of fact-based defense by the House Republicans, and the public statements by Mitch McConnell that he was in perfect alignment with the President’s legal team and was definitely not impartial. If this were a jury trial outside the Senate, he wouldn’t be allowed on a jury. What he should be partial to is getting at the truth for the sake of the country, not avoiding calling witnesses that Trump didn’t allow to testify (itself arguably an abuse of power) who could settle the matter one way or the other.

wtf dean? kids? “number of lies in Trump’s letter”
