Apparently Dershowitz bought himself a seat in the press box because of his insane rantings last night. Angus King says he didn’t see him on the Senate floor and he was not among the President’s lawyers who answered questions during the first segment of the proceedings.
In a sane political system, that would actually be an effective mechanism for enforcing congressional subpoena power, don’t comply? You get the boot.
“Dulcet tones” just hit the impeachment trial
And you told me I was a fool to put that on my bingo card!

If you recall, Trump came after her when she testified that Trump told Pence not to attend Zelensky’s inauguration, a vital part of Trump’s scheme to extort Ukraine until they agreed to announce an investigation into the Bidens.
She also said she listened to the July phone call and thought it was “inappropriate” and politically motivated, and that she believed a reference by Zelensky to a company tied to former vice president Joe Biden’s son Hunter, Burisma, didn’t make it into the rough transcript of the call.
Instead of Pence, Trump sent the three amigos: Rick Perry, Kurt Volker, and your favorite and mine, Gordon Sondland.
From Linsey: “Why was the standard for investigating Trump lower than the standard for investigating the Bidens?”
Mad respect for being able to listen to this. I caught some on NPR on the way home and I just wanted to yeet the WH clownsel and Republican senators into space.
It’s just so fucking embarrassing our country has come to this, and even worse that idiots fall for it.
Somebody’s been getting a boner listening to Schiff talk
Good question Mr. Graham, why DIDN’T the republican controlled house investigate the Bidens?
You’re on a deserted island with conspicuously hollowed out coconuts and Carrot Top. I’m telling you, those coconuts would start to look very attractive. Then you would remember Carrot Top is a prop comedian, but by then, it’s too late. You’re in the Truman Show.
Holy shit. Warren with the throw down

Robert’s just sitting there after reading the question, jaw clenched, slowly nodding. Nice one, Liz.
