No they were scheduled until mid-March and now I read that they are staying for the balance of the year. The Biden Administration is setting up a Green Zone. Cowering behind barb wire and metal detectors they are scared of the people that elected them…supposedly. Maybe all the parents who can’t send their kids to in-person schooling will rally next.

When the TDS dies down, the clown show that is the Biden administration seeps into the publics mind, the cable news lay-offs bite deep and hard, the astroturf NGO’s lose their funding and the court challenges wind their slow tedious route through the Judicial system maybe their fear is well-placed. Trouble is at some point they have to go home. What do they do then?

McConnell has opened up the possibility of endorsing continued prosecution in the civil court arenas, so the fun is just starting – as is the re-election campaign.

___________________________________________

On Saturday, the U.S. Senate voted to acquit former President Donald Trump of high crimes and misdemeanors, specifically of “incitement of insurrection.”

The vote came along partisan lines, 57 to 43, with seven Republicans joining the 50 Democrats in voting to convict Trump. Sens. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) voted with the Democrats to convict Trump.

I had hoped they would call witnesses. Such a humiliating circus that would have been. And fun to watch.

That they were humiliated by the defense yesterday was not enough. Some of the dopes in the Senate wanted to call witnesses. Yikes, they seem to have no ability to understand what happened to them and what was coming if they called witnesses. Lindsay Graham said on Hannity that, if they called witnesses, he had a list of one hundred people he wanted to hear from. At least six months would have been required for such an exercise. It may well have been Graham’s vote and comments that woke the dopes up. Too bad, I have a good supply of popcorn laid in.

The statement of Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA) will be read into the record and the Senate will move on to closing arguments.
