28. It was exactly what Pelosi knew it was going to be. At least she waited for a slam dunk case.

I had three people at work look at the headline... Acquittal. And all three state their disgust and surprisingly their surprise that Trump was acquitted. Each ones reaction had me flummoxed for a moment processing their surprise. Each time I asked, where is the surprise for you. Republicans stated well in advance they would vote in this manner. Didn't allow witnesses, or documentation.

People just do not follow what is happening in the nation, politics.

One is a Republican. My boss. When she said something, I was ready to cut her off because I did not want to hear it. I was surprised because she had expected Trump to be impeached. She was on our side. If she felt that, I know our Republican GM felt the same way.

That was the big surprise for the day> Two strong, fox news watching Republicans were disgusted with the Republican vote. I had no idea how Republicans see this because I refuse to listen to them. It was interesting.
