We need witnesses!
No! Don’t let them call witnesses!
OK, you can have witnesses.
We can? Oh, you know what, never mind. We don’t need them.
:facepalm:
OK. We weren't gonna listen to anything they said anyway....
Why even ask for them, then? So that if the request was denied they could complain they were denied the ability to call witnesses?
The vote to allow witnesses was 54-46 in favor, which was not a good sign. Some Republican senators who were seen as possible votes for conviction voted against allowing witnesses. The Impeachment managers were then informed that Republican senators were ready to vote and go home for the weekend.
Less than two hours after the witness vote, the Impeachment managers told the Senate that they had no further motions. Three hours later, the acquittal was done.
The Impeachment managers simply threw in the towel, IMO.
The verdict was fully cooked before the trial. This was a process of padding stats after the outcome of the game was determined.
From a political standpoint, both sides got what they could reasonably accomplish. The loser is the constitution, since we've now determined that impeachment is impossible if both parties are intrenched.
Now I wonder at what point does the GOP splinter off into two parties, the Trumper Party of crazies and the 'Lincoln Party' of the former rational country club GOP.

That's awesome. Here it is...Impeachment Defense Lawyer Bruce Castor:
“Let’s touch now on the second absurd and conflated allegation in the House managers’ single article. President Trump’s phone call to Georgia secretary of state Ben Roethlisberger, surreptitiously recorded…”
Georgia's Secretary of State is Brad Raffensperger.

It's actually a blend of the two names, "Ben Raffensberger", but still funny.
Is Brad there? No dipshit, this is Ben...

Songs like Half the World would still suck. When the song is formulated as verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, solo, chorus it's really not meant to be just an instrumental.

Frampton Comes Alive.
Very underrated guitarist, but I honestly can't think of any worthwhile material that's not on that album.

KC not as dominant as they were last year; they let other teams hang around too long and that will bite them against Brady. TB by 3.
I like both teams but I'd like to see TB win. Ariens is a good coach and gets his prize (Reid got his last year). Plus it pisses Belichick off that Brady wins one without him.

Got my first shot today. How's everyone feeling after the shots? I feel generally crappy, but getting by.
Here's the kicker. Because I work for the gubment and considered 'essential', I got my shot a week after sign-up. But they haven't even contacted my 89 year old mother in law yet who's on the 20k waiting list. That's some f***ed up priorities. I wanted to give her my spot, but a) they probably wouldn't allow it and b) since I'm partially responsible for her care at least I'm vaxxed.
County vax process was well organized. In and out in about a half hour of going through the stations. They got 20k on the waiting list but are only getting 1-2k supply a week. They said they could do 6k a day.
Everyone else was getting shots in the arms, but they made me drop my pants to get it in the ass. I must be the exception.

Typical Shitastic Michigan in February. 3-4 inches of snow and gloomy AF. Go to work in dark, come home in dark.

Apparently the total lack of imagination that went into the music also went into the album cover.

Tokes on a joint...ffffffffft....dude I got it! We'll make the album cover with a 45 RPM adapter into 3 snakes!

RHCP...I'm With You.
Crappy album title, crappy cover, pretty mediocre album. Guess they only had a $20 budget for the album cover.
