TropicalDingdong,

Is anyone even paying attention to these impeachments?

I feel like Don’s trial is sucking so much wind out of the room, these aren’t even getting footnotes.

The whole purpose of this “impeachment” was to distract the country from Trump’s woes. They tried to keep the focus on Hunter/Joe Biden, but that fizzled out, so they needed a new target. Mayorkas was just the ticket (especially funny after the GQP downed the most friendly border bill they’ll ever see)

TropicalDingdong,

The whole purpose of this “impeachment”

Yeah I agree, but damn if they haven’t done a shit job of selling it. Also, when your key witness the whole thing is predicated on goes to jail for lying about the key claims of them being a witness…

Its a veritable nothing-burger feast.

Bread and Circuses for the base

TropicalDingdong,

This clown tastes funny.

Bakkoda,

That’s sort of the intention though. Make as many impeachments seem as meaningless as possible so you don’t remember Trump’s being dismissed immediately. Normalize impeachments. Normalize criminal trials. Normalize civil trials.
