    I think this impeachment spectacle has been highly entertaining. I just watched Nancy Pelosi place her hand over her heart and recite the Pledge of Allegiance during her designated 3 minutes of speaking time during the Rules Committee debate. Now I wouldn't be surprised to see Antifa groups singing God Bless America during their regularly scheduled rampages. These are indeed interesting times.

    Well the problem is the Russian thing has too often been used for crazy ridiculous nonsense. Remember when Daniel Ellsberg was accused of being a Russian spy for release the Pentagon papers, well neither do I as I wasn't alive then, but yea wolf has been cried many times before. And Nixon was paranoid, still I'd take him in a heartbeat :P

    The funereal outfit was a nice touch.

    Yes it was, and the patriotism and love of our republican form of government as professed were truly heart wrenching. It was so moving she was allowed to go 2.5 minutes over her allotted one minute of speaking time without being stopped as every other speaker has. I may disagree with her on most things but man she can do theater as well as any thespian.

    Who was it who said that politics is show business for unattractive people?

    I was issued a directive this morning from corporate in LA. No talking on the floor or on site off the floor regarding the Impeachment proceedings. This one was hard for me to carry out but another supervisor who I owe big time held a brief meeting for me this morning.....they don't have the issues I di with such a directive so I found a way around having to directly deal with it first thing in the morning.

    I have heard nothing of the proceedings as of this moment but the keynote speaker at the event I am supervising is speaking so I will break away and Google.

    Regardless.....for you intelligent folks with political convictions of whatever stripe.....this is a historic day regardless of outcome. Rob

    I beg to differ. I personally find Mayor Pete a very attractive man. Rob

    I was referring to the actual, you know, hearing. On the one hand we had a measured and credible witness. On the other we had a shrieking man child and his angry defenders.

    I realize that pledging allegiance to this country isn't a republican thing these days, but how far has the republican party fallen that they consider people doing so to be "entertaining"?
