4. All you have to do when you make a post is to click on the "smilies" tab at the top of your post

That will reveal all of them - and the little ... tab at the bottom reveals a whole second assortment of DU smilies.

5. I am convinced that it wouldn't have mattered how much evidence the impeachment managers had . . .

. . . Republicans were simply unwilling to convict Trump for any reason whatsoever.

6. I couldn't agree more, I think that was blatantly obvious

I watched quite a bit of it (at least the presentations from the impeachment managers) and I thought what they documented was both shocking and compelling. As for the Republicans, we watched them ignoring the presentations, doodling, playing checkers, anything but taking this seriously and doing their jobs. They already had their "orders..."

7. Karl makes a good point, I wonder how many outtakes they had

before Trump could utter what was deemed "acceptable?"

I imagine that's gold insofar as determining the vanity manatee's intent.

Thanks for the thread Rhiannon.

8. All he's reported so far sounds absolutely toxic to TFG

And what's yet to come sounds devastatingly worse. When he was on Colbert the other night, he said that the White House photographer had photos of Pence in hiding in a cement room on January 6th. He hasn't been able to see them - yet - but they can't remain inaccessible forever. What TFG is attempting to prevent becoming public are not his to decide on. They are part of the historical record - like those from any other administration and belong to the public.
