Live from Washington DC it's.......The Mad Fuhrer of Mar-A-Lago's Impeachment Special Part One Clarifications/Corrections and Thoughts

Hey!  I know day two of the House Managers making their case for convicting the Mad Fuhrer of Mar-A-Lago hasn't gotten up and running yet but I thought I'd offer a thought or two as well as start with a clarification.

In the last post I said yesterday was day three of the impeachment trial.  While it is technically true (Friday being the naming of the House Managers and the House walking it over to the Senate and Tuesday being the rules day and the Repubs voting against every offered amendment, yesterday was the first day of the Manager making the case.  I also want to clarify that the sitting in silence while the cas eis made was a Senate rule, not one of Addison the ZTurtle's rules (though, like much of the Repubs cases, it's hard to tell) along with some other rules such as Senators being only allowed to drin kwater or milk while in the Chamber.  I want to apologize if anyone was confused by that.

So far, the House Impeachment Managers seem to be doing a steady job, making the case point for point between their speeches and a combination of Powerpoint graphics and video footage from the House inquiry hearings as well as other visuals (including some with the Mad Fuhrer of Mar-A-Lago speaking on the issue).  It has been both jaw dropping as well as educational for many (to be fair, there's so much out there that, even for news hounds, it's hard to keep track of it all in news reports).  Their linking it to rule of law and what the framers of the Constitution may have meant was also a good touch.

As for the Repubs....they'r acting like Repubs for the most part.  While a couple of Senators have found the case to be eye opening (including Repub Sen. John Kennedy of LA), many seem to be taking little breaks to either go to the can (though it seems a little excessive) or in a couple of cases z(Sen;. Blackburn of TN and MO"s new Junior Senator Josh Hawley (a/k/a:" Senator Joshy) do interviews with right wing media sources (apparently without consequences though doing so is supposed to lead to them getting arrested if done when they should be in the chamber).  While some have reported that a few Senators on teh Repub side might be moved by the Dems case, it'll be later on when we learn if that is really the case or more BS designed to make us think that moderate Repubs still exist in either House of Congress or not. 

So what to expect today?  The HOuse managers will continue to make their case and, since I have to be at the paying job tonight, I'll have to wait until sometime tomorrow to catch up on the highlights or lowlights of it.  So far the Dems are making a clear and solid case.  Unfortunately, given that the Repubs are so into winning at any cost that they think rules no longer apply to them, the question remains over whether turth, justice, and rule of law will matter or not? 

We still have more days of this so we'll have to see it unfold to see if anyone on the right wing puts country over party or not.
