As Twitchy reported, Impeachment Task Force member Alyssa Milano was sad that she wasn’t allowed to take her phone into the Senate chambers, nor is she allowed to take notes. But what about the poor Senators who have to sit silently and are limited to water and milk for hydration?
Sen. Rick Scott tells me the rules only allow senators to drink water and milk on the Senate floor during the impeachment trial

Aren’t these the rules all the time, not just for impeachment?
— Olivia Nuzzi (@Olivianuzzi) January 21, 2020
Yeah – but senators finally asked the rules this week. And they’re all like: WTFF?

No flasks, guys.

Does almond milk count as "milk"? Because there are policy implications. https://t.co/81XopCfe7t

Big Milk lobby at it again. Don’t eff with big milk

Next they will argue if chocolate milk is OK….

I would have an espresso shot in my milk.

Remember, warm milk at bedtime makes you sleepy? Is the strategy to put all the old geezers to sleep so they miss half the trial? I guess if they already know how they’re voting, they might as well snooze ?

Water and milk? I hope they brought in a fridge, after 12+ hours of testimony I wouldn’t trust that milk.

What is wrong with these people?

Can they get a juice box after naptime?

White claws count as water though

No caffeine. Insane. Mitch literally wants them to fall asleep.
— Wolffie Wolf ? (@WolffieWolf) January 21, 2020
The “rules” prohibit coffee? Someone should challenge that one.
— Pacific (@LifeWithoutLack) January 21, 2020
No coffee, they need coffee and whiskey.
— Slygrammy5 ?????? (@SharonCoryell3) January 21, 2020
We need an immediate delivery of espresso bean cookies.

Is there a history of rules dictating *type* of beverages in the chamber? This sounds like a power move sort of thing.
— Ron Garza (@RonJohnOnline) January 21, 2020
I heard that’s normal rules. Can’t imagine trying to do this without caffeine.
— Jan Vickery Lillemo (@JanLillemo) January 21, 2020
The lack of caffeine will be problematic.

Considering these hearings will take place in the “dead of night.”
Good thing this dude is not involved. pic.twitter.com/kRx1gGSyUq

Good thing Pelosi isn’t a Senator then.
— Mtnlover (@Mtnhiker55) January 21, 2020
Expect constant trips to the bathroom for Pelosi for the vodka bottle she hides in the back of the toilet

Huh!?!
Starbucks missed opportunity pic.twitter.com/04JilAtoKA— Opinionated? (@OpinionatedEYE) January 21, 2020
What about for the rest of us.
— FreddieQ (@Freddie_Q) January 21, 2020
Thank God scotch is OK for drinking for those viewing!
— Mark Stern (@mfstern) January 21, 2020
I’d be demanding bourbon. Mitch should go along with that.
