Weeks after this thread started, the circus continues but are we closer to knowing if there will be impeachment? Do I need to get out my boat shoes and be prepared to dress above my station? Should my group og garden club ladies cancel the upcoming flower show next week and prepare to party with a potluck?
I don't know, they had some pretty damning testimony yesterday. It sounded a lot like this:

Why would they lead off with two guys who only heard about the call second or third hand? Why not start with the LTC we heard so much about?
There were therapy dogs stationed in sections of the House and Senate yesterday for the benefit of stressed out staffers. I wonder what to make of that?

The guys that spoke were the "bosses". Their direct subordinates reported to them.Originally Posted by LDAHL
The best thing I heard was... "We want to talk to the guy who started this!" The response was "Sure, put Trump right there, front and center!"
The lines of he said she said are a little difficult to follow, but it seems to me the ones with more direct knowledge have been blocked by the White House from testifying. I've wondered where the line is drawn for obstruction of justice.
The charitable answer would probably be that impeachment is a really serious thing so I can imagine why someone might think staffers would benefit from therapy dogs. A snarkier answer would be that republican staffers know, or at least are afraid they might know, how this is going to progress.
I thought Elise Stefanik was pretty impressive. We may be hearing more from her in the future.
I liked her too, her questioning was concise and effective. But I liked her even more once I saw how some of the media reacted to her. Matthew Dowd tweeted that she was a perfect example of how simply voting for a woman or millennial was no guarantee you'll get what you need. Also, when she was allowed a question in the closed, top secret hearings held in a Sensitive, Compartmented, Information Facility, the witness turned to Adam Schiff and said "I thought staffers weren't allowed to ask questions".
I think people will learn not to under-estimate or scorn her before this drama is over.

How serious can it really be? Isn’t it pretty much a given that the House will indict but the Senate won’t convict? It all seems pretty scripted to me. Is the suspense so excruciating that the participants need to pet dogs and interns to function?
