For Senate Republicans, boredom is strategic. For American television viewers, it’s inevitable. Nothing new to see here is a pretty good PR talking point for the GOP on Day 2 of the House presentment on impeachment, and they’re mainly staying on message, The Hill reports: Republicans are bored — and they hope the American public shares

Meh. Nadler’s a tool and ineffective in his role (which is why Schiff is guiding the Democratic case, not him) but I can’t take this argument seriously given the circumstances of the trial.

I don’t know about you, but I’m a little tired of Rep. Adam Schiff and the Democratic horde’s portraying every charge against President Donald Trump as Trump’s effort to interfere with this or that election. In his opening statement at the Senate impeachment trial, Lead House Impeachment Manager Schiff, puffed up with false indignation, did

A leftover from yesterday that’s gotten a surprising amount of attention online. I’m sure he’s right that 45 Republicans or thereabouts would support a motion to dismiss, or do whatever else Trump wants them to do. But has that ever been in doubt? The trick isn’t convincing a large Republican minority in the Senate to
This is a new one.

Sure, but would Donald Trump’s legal team reject a motion to dismiss at this point? Jay Sekulow, lead attorney for the defense, says he “I don’t rule out anything,” but this sounds very much like marching orders for his client. Trump has champed at the bit to go on the attack ever since the House began
Hardest Hit: The “Muh Principles” Crowd There were a lot of conservatives in 2016 who were neither Trump enthusiasts nor vehement Never Trumpers.

To cleanse the palate, it feels like the right moment culturally for Planters to finally phase out Mr. Peanut. This is a populist era. Not for us, a top-hat-sporting, monocle-wearing peanut aristocrat. The new Mr. Peanut should be a peanut of the people. Blindly trustful of authoritarian leaders. Skeptical of expertise and vaccines.
