Are they saying him openly, on live television, telling people to go take the capitol, isn't good enough evidence for when people took the capitol and claimed he told them. Live. On tv. That has been played on an endless loop for a month? That's insufficient? Oh. Ok.

More in-depth on the actual response, typo aside: He was still in office when he was impeached though, yes? This is the trial. The first amendment gives you the right to say whatever you want, but it doesn't protect you from legal consequences that come from your loud opinions. And since be has been impeached, which is the equivalent of an indictment, wouldn't it be a violation of his rights under the Constitution to go to trial to demonstrate his innocence?

I, for one, do not accept. Exactly. So she apologizes to his staff, who aren't going to say anything back to the boss's wife, but not to, ya know, the thousands of other people who were traumatized? The family of the murdered officer? The other police officers who were injured? Really showing her regrets there.

I didn't not follow the first installment of the impeachment chronicles because I was so mentally and physically exhausted post-midterms that I checked out of politics entirely for a good six months. TIL that Steve brought his binders in a Fresh Market bag and now I just really want a FM chicken and broccoli slaw wrap. They also do a good quiche Lorraine.

I just checked on my kids doing virtual school and one was doing a school wide moment of silence and it occurred to me that if Officer Sicknick had kids they would be in our county schools

Impeachment Part One had some really golden comedic moments. I'm tempted to go back to our old threads.

I remember doing the math after election day and I spent in the neighborhood of 80something hours in the the 3 weeks leading up to it on GOTV. I was basically like "gonna go crawl in a hole, wake me up for the 2020 primary."

Haha I had forgotten that George Kent's Nalgene briefly won the internet.
And every single one of us lost our minds when Bill Taylor spoke and sounded like James Earl Jones.

I had the thought yesterday that I can’t wait for the impeachment to start because I love me a good impeachment trial. And then I was like “who the hell have I become” and quietly hoped this is the last one of my lifetime.

Oh my god. I’m laughing so hard. “ Politics aside, if I saw a witness stride into a hearing with a full wide-mouth 48-ounce Nalgene Silo, sit down, unscrew the lid, leave it unscrewed (!!!), and proceed to take generous sip of it throughout his testimony whilst staring me directly in the face, I wouldn't even need to hear testimony. I'd be like, "Case closed. Lock them up. Whoever this dude says, lock them up. He's got the enormous bladder of a true patriot."”

He just left but I am not at all exaggerating when I say that he is one of key reasons I got through the past four years without locking myself in a closet and screaming.
