    In August you all are invited to the Clark County Fair here in SW WA where you may stand in a long line for peach ice cream at the Dairy Wives booth. The real stuff.
    My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!

    Came back to this, thought I typed your name wrong or posted the picture showing left hand threads (the thing I was working with them, via email on).

    Rob, since (at least as far as I know, today) he wasn't impeached in the Senate yet, you can't wear the full outfit, so put that on a t shirt. and have some fun with it, since you don't have big orange out.

    So after several days of senate trial several republican senators groused to the press that they wished there was new evidence. After those same senators voted multiple times to not call witnesses or allow additional documentary evidence. Apparently they think voters are super stoopid.

    And then trump bragged about obstructing congress saying “we have all the material”. Perhaps one of the reporters should have pointed to that and said ‘there’s your new evidence.’

    That seems to be a fairly common belief. Else why the three days of tearful, portentous opening remarks aimed at preventing the voters from interfering in the next election.

    Are you talking about the tears republicans were shedding when their coverup was pointed out to them?

    i was thinking of awesome Adam's choking up over the gravity of the situation. I think Rep Nadler accusing anyone who didn't vote his way of treason was a rhetorical masterstroke that changed the hearts and minds of anyone still awake at that point.

    Considering that 70% of americans wanted a real trial with witnesses and evidence, the republicans are right to be crying when it was pointed out that they are engaging in a coverup and that their heads will be on a pike if they don't suck up to their leader. They all took an oath to uphold the constitution during this trial and they've all been purjuring themselves ever since. Hopefully at least a few of them will, next november, suffer the fate that caused those tears of fear.

    Isn't that the whole point of political theater?

    If they'd agreed to an actual trial instead of a coverup they wouldn't have set themselves up to be the subject of democratic political theater. In other words, they brought it upon themselves to have their lack of integrity put in the spotlight.

    Except for the more rabid partisans on both sides, I suspect these histrionics will be long forgotten by November. I doubt the mass of voters reporting they favor fair trials will express a great level of outrage that the Senate followed precedent and did not comply with the House managers’ demand that the Senate exercise a great deal more diligence than the House did.
