I got a nice new TV recently and I didn't want to be tempted to throw things at it.

For one, Sekulow was all over the place from Mueller's hearing/report to impeachment. I couldn't keep up with his dodging in and out of each of those. Examples he showed as being ignored by the Democrats weren't always familiar to me and I am eager to learn if I am right. For one, some of Sondland's testimony. First time or second? He basically wore me out.

But, Cippolone just brought a chuckle from me when he mentioned the meeting in Poland with Zelensky that Trump had to cancel because of a hurricane in the U.S., so Pence went, instead.

Since when has Trump been interested in hurricanes, aside from marking up weather maps?

What a pathetic bunch.
