missizzyYesterday morning I had actually assumed the trial would resume on Monday. I'm not sure why, I just did. So the verdict happening came as a shock, though the outcome, sadly, did not. And when I'd been having a good day, too.
So now the Democrats have everyone pissed at them, and for that reason alone you wish they had put out the witnesses. Hell, if the Senate Republicans really had threatened to block everything in retaliation, well, maybe if they'd made good on it, that would've finally gotten the holdouts on board for abolishing the filibuster. Now we have to hope they do enough and the people trying to get the vote out on the ground do enough to at least hold the House in 2022, or Biden'll be the last president ever elected by the people.
Hell, now I'm nervous for March 4, since that's apparently the next date for potential revolt. It'll be harder now that the Pentagon's out of Trump's control, but still.
