Wow. It started slow

[wryter2000]

It's ending with a bang.

I watched all of Watergate. The only thing mildly comparable to this was the announcement that everything in this Oval Office was taped.

1. My mom told me that the Watergate Hearings often got boring

and then something would get brought up that woke everyone up.

These people all belong in jail. They are traitors. They sought to destroy America.

2. They had their moments

Nothing like this.

7. I am out at the dentist, but it was all recorded so I'll be watching later!

Anything you want to share meanwhile?

10. If you have limited time, skip the first half or so

The judge obviously meant well, but his initial testimony was pointless and almost painful to sit through. There followed a general discussion of the Constitutionality of the VP overturning the election results.

The most compelling parts were about the pressure on Pence to submit and the very real danger he was in. And the judge made a powerful (if sloooow) statement at the end.

I'm sure all the good parts will be covered in regular programming, but it was powerful. Complete with the cliffhangers at the end. "In the coming weeks," Cheney said they'd be outlining the pressure put on officials in the states.

My ears perked up when she said "weeks," plural. I hope that means they're going to draw this out for a bit. IMHO, if they'd had a hearing yesterday, it would all have been forgotten because of the hearing today.

They are doing an amazing job, and bless Nancy Pelosi for keeping Jordan et al. off the committee.

8. The judge put me asleep in the first 10 minutes, did I miss anything?

Well not quite. It was slow at the start, but got much better!

11. The judge made up for it at the end

Same delivery, sadly, but he warned (insert ominous voice) that Trump et al. are continuing right out in public and that he might succeed in 2024 where he failed in 2020.

12. He sure as hell did! I loved his warning!
