So fast moving. Here we go again....

I've been trying to follow this all day in between dealing with the kids. I'm sitting down to watch it on CNN for the first time and I'm so confused with how this works - yielding/reserving etc.

Doug lamalfa thinks Trump is pro life!

Can a lurker ask why on earth they can only talk for a minute? What are the rules about calling on someone else and giving them their time?

@TheSilveryPussycat

Andrew Clyde's mask is ill fitting, it keeps sliding down...

Well there's a metaphor if ever I saw one.

Bit late for it now, mind. Some Republicans' masks haven't so much slipped as been torn off and trampled in the dust months ago.

Across lives in the US and explained it really well at 18.43

Sorry that was for pontresina

Five members of Congress have tested positive for covid since hunkering down with their mask-refusing GOP colleagues on the day of the insurrection. Three are Democrats, two GOP.

Overall, more Republicans than Democrats in both House and Senate are known to have tested positive since the start of the pandemic.

GOP members refuse to accept masks offered.

Gosh.... apologies for being really really shallow here but...

the US has some good looking congressmen.

Unlike us....

You trying to say Michael Gove doesn't do it for you

Thank you, I will look back.

Glad someone else said it!

I think sadly it is because appearances are over valued.
Looking a certain way on tv etc is very important.
( and everyone have braces often at least twice 😂)

I've been dipping in and out. Has there been a single republican argument that isn't "but they rioted too" and "he's only got 7 days left"

Who is this guy with 3 minutes of waffle?

Very true.

But I'll put in my vote for my state's governor, Gavin Newsom.

Has anyone got a running count of those in favour of impeachment so far?

I'm watching but I've lost count and haven't seen it all

igotjelly how COULD you!! 🤣🤣 I could name more actually!

Across yes indeedy! But wasn't he married to Kimberley Gargoyle which is gobsmacking.

This thought occurred to me (about the goodlooking congressmen) after the gentleman from Hawaii with the beads spoke.

You have to feel sorry for Ivanka, the product of a troubled childhood, what with such weird parents who divorced when she was but a callow 10 year old and who were so unprincipled themselves she had no proper moral guidance at all.
Yeah, no, sorry, that's as far as I can take my empathy for her.

But I'll put in my vote for my state's governor,

Although very wealthy and possessed of plenty of sane policies I must confess mine isn't a particular looker.

But Obama always scrubs up well so it balances out kind of.

Ooh, I like mr hoyt. He even told Mrs speaker off.

When are they voting already??

Aaron Rupar @atrupar

It's been impossible to miss today that Republicans have been far more likely to jeer Black women who speak than anyone else

and

Rep. Moulton: "There are more troops right now in Washington DC than in Afghanistan. And they are here to defend us against the commander in chief, the POTUS and his mob.

Oops mr hoyer.

@Roussette

Lauren Broebart is ranting and raving.

Parliament is better than this.
