I’m all for accountability, but this impeachment trial to nowhere while the Biden agenda stalls out before it even gets started is peak Democrats.

I think they should drag it out for a couple years like the Benghazi investigation. And when pubs scream about the length, scream at them for being traitors.

And when pubs scream about the length, scream at them for being traitors.I agree, committee investigations that allow people to grandstand on their own time won’t really accomplish much either but that’s fine. They absolutely should table the impeachment, pass the stimulus, and get their committee chairs seated. Right now McConnell is trying to hold them hostage by playing hardball on the rules but he knows that manchin won’t go along with him for too long so it is just a short term play to delay Biden’s agenda and see if the Dems eff it up and start working the “problem solvers caucus” to stallmomentum for stimulus. So far so good for Mitch.I can kind of appreciate Mitch's stance/play on rules. Like why not ask the majority to put themselves in a negotiationing position with less power and leverage straight up before you have to negotiate/message for 2 years? It even falls within a priority of giving them less time to govern as a majority.

The Florida bar told Lin wood he needs a psych eval
The Georgia Bar’s proceedings are the latest consequence Wood has faced for his post-election actions. The attorney has been removed from a separate case in Delaware where he represented former Trump advisor Carter Page over his “toxic” post-election litigation. Nicholas Sandmann, an 18-year-old from Covington Catholic High School who gained attention for his viral standoff with a Native American elder, also fired Wood as his attorney on Tuesday. MSNBC host Joy Reid has asked a New York federal court to remove Wood from a defamation case against her, and Mercer Law School is facing pressure to remove Wood’s name from a courtroom at the school. Dominion Voting Systems, which has already filed two $1.3 billion lawsuits against attorneys Powell and Rudy Giuliani, has suggested it may pursue litigation against Wood for spreading baseless election fraud claims involving the company’s voting machines, though nothing has yet been filed.
Somewhere in the equation is McConnell and a bunch of non-MAGA senators who actually don't want to see a shitshow from Trump's side.
No chance he will now. That was a stupid move if they wanted him to testify.
