Mitch McConnell Is Trying To Blackout Trump's Impeachment Trial

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans have proposed a series of media restrictions that would make real-time reporting impossible at Trump’s impeachment trial.

Sheryl Gay Stolberg tweeted some of the proposed restrictions:

Among the limits that Senate Republicans want to put on reporters is a ban on electronic devices in the Senate chamber, which means that there will be no live tweets, videos, or reports from the Senate while the trial is going. Reporters will be limited to pen and paper only, which would make real-time reporting of what is going on inside the chamber away from the camera impossible.

Speaking of cameras, Republicans only want one camera with no audio present when Democrats officially deliver the articles of impeachment.

4. They've got a lot to hide.

And their fear is showing. This is not how honest people act. And it's certainly not how winners behave. Republicans are circling the great vortex of doom. Bring on the big flush.

5. They'll never get away with it.

7. They will.

Our new not hope is high turnout to vote the orange fuck out.

6. Cult behavior 101: stop the flow of factual information.

Keep everyone in the dark. Remind them that YOU are looking out for their best interests. Invent your own reality. Push it daily via Fox and hate radio. Frighten people, then declare your way is the ONLY way to be safe.

8. Can't have paper ballots

But when it comes to impeachment - it’s back to the 19th century. Sigh.

9. Did they do this during the Clinton impeachment trial?

After all, the Repugs keep saying that trial as an example.
