Today, the Democratic impeachment managaers’ opening arguments will conclude and it’s not clear how much more evidence, if any, they will be able to present.
I have missed a lot of the coverage today as I was posting and dealing with some other commitments. But I will be watching in a few hours (knock wood).
I have a feeling Rep. Adam Schiff’s closing remarks will be another knockout.
If you care to share any thoughts and observations, feel free to do so below, in our comments section.

@kevinkoster. I agree that the Senate GOPiggies will vote unanimously for not calling witnesses. Then they will acquit Mango Mussolini, blaming the House impeachment managers for presenting such a weak case. Profiles in Cowardice. Collins, Murkowski, Alexander and Romney. I would like to see House Democrats re-commence their impeachment inquiry if for no other reason that it will enrage Mango.
Finally, we can only hope and encourage Democrats to actually vote this election. This nation’s future is at stake.

It’s fairly certain at this point that the Republicans simply don’t care about the facts in this matter or anything else as relates to the Pence White House. They like the results they’re getting from Mike Pence instituting Ted Cruz policies from that incompetent administration.
Based on the comments of Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, I would not bet on even a single Republican rebelling from the rest of the 53 Senators. They’ll watch the angry Right Wing response over this weekend, and then they’ll vote with an easy majority to acquit.
This will be followed by Trump’s “Revenge” against the Democrats over the next several months, which we can only understand to be vicious negative campaigning and multiple draconian Executive Orders from Mike Pence. And it will all still come down to whether Dems show up in the swing states in November.

First time I’ve ever heard a ‘prebuttal’. And I doubt I’ll ever hear a better one. Late nomination: Schiff 2020!

Midnight Mitch has a new tactic, apparently. “Trump will just claim privilege over witnesses and then it will go to the courts and drag out for months and that will be just too much of a bore, won’t it, my vulnerable Republican friend. Let’s just put all this fuss and bother behind us…”
Read an interesting story about Mitch being kicked out of the army for sodomy, of all things. Not that we should have anything against mutually agreeable sodomy, obviously.
