President Donald J. Trump was acquitted by the Senate on Saturday in his second impeachment trial. The final vote was 57-43 in favor of impeachment, but the attempt still fell way short of the needed super majority.
That is obviously serious — and good — news, but we’ll turn to a funnier note. While waiting on the impeachment trial to start, Senator Ted Cruz took to Twitter to share what was going on.
Thread: Chaos at the impeachment trial.
Dems had agreed to know witnesses, then House Managers changed their mind this morning.
Schumer blindsided. Pandemonium. They’re negotiating now to figure out next steps.

That’s not what we’re talking about, though. We’re here to look at some of the tweets Cruz made to pass the time. He shared some of the questions that didn’t make the cut to be asked on Friday, and it was … interesting.
2/x While we’re waiting to figure out what’s next, I thought I’d share some of the Qs in the pile that DIDN’T make the cut to be asked yesterday. (These are all real, from various senators, who will remain anonymous.)

3/x Q1: “Where’s the short, fat guy?”
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) February 13, 2021
4/x Q2: “Can we build the Keystone Pipeline if we add Hunter Biden to the board?”
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) February 13, 2021
5/x Q3: “To Manager Swalwell: Tell us about Fang Fang.”
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) February 13, 2021
6/x Q4: “(generic) Have any of the House Managers had sexual relations with a Chinese communist spy? Please explain.”
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) February 13, 2021
7/x Q5: “If we put him in a burlap sack & throw him in the river, and he does not float, must we convict?”

There were actual questions submitted by Senators. Speaking of chaos, Senator Cruz. Try to imagine how wild — and entertaining — things would’ve gotten, had some of these questions been allowed.
We need more of this from senators. Share some of the stuff we don’t get to see.
These are too funny to be real. If these are real, these guys are my heroes. They deserve Nobel Peace Prizes, or Oscars, or Pulitzers or one of the other silly prizes Lefties give each other when they feel a “thrill going up their leg”.
How dare they MOCK our DeMoCrAtIc process! In our DEMOCRACY! [Actually a Republic, but when does the left ever hold themselves to any standard of truth?]
Imagine how afraid the democrats are of the so-called 80 million votes their Prez got.
if they got 80 million votes, then why keep attacking Trump and Trump voters.
if they got 80 million without even campaigning, then why don’t they feel like they have a mandate?
Why? because they know a fraud was committed in the election and now they need to distract. daily.
I’m bummed Republicans opposed witnesses . They should have said, be my guest, then gone on to put Pelosi and company on the stand UNDER OATH.
Exactly.
My witness list
Nancy Pelosi
Eric Swalwell
Maxine Waters
Hunter Biden
Joe Biden
It would have been great TV…. the ratings would have beaten the Super Bowl.
These are pretty funny questions, but unfortunately many of the Republicans have shown their true colors again. In the immortal words of Dennis Green, “they are who we thought they were.”
While I still don’t trust Ted Cruz completely…I do find in this last year more respect for the guy. Given my respect meter for most politicians is less than the temperature in Minnesota…it’s something.
Glad to see there are some on our side who treat the vile, treasonous Dems with the utter contempt they deserve.
