Trump Impeachment Tag

I was traveling much of this week, so I didn't watch that much of the Democrats' presentation of their case in the Senate impeachment trial. I saw bits and pieces, and checked in from time to time on Twitter. The dominant presence was Adam Schiff. It seemed that almost every time I turned on the TV, he was talking and talking and talking.

If you've watched any of the impeachment trial on TV this week, you know that it's been an incredibly boring affair. In spite of this, the hosts at MSNBC, who are deeply emotionally and professionally invested in the outcome, are annoyed that members of the Senate aren't sitting on the edge of their seats.

Mitch McConnell released a resolution to be introduced Tuesday that sets the schedule for the Senate impeachment trial. (Trying not to laugh) The proceedings will start at 1 p.m. each day (to accommodate the Chief Justice's day job schedule), and go for 12 hours. Rinse and repeat. Whoever said Mitch McConnell doesn't have a sense of humor?
