    Johnson insinuates that the impeachment trial is a distraction from asking what Pelosi knew and when she knew it about the Capitol riots. As if she played some part in the events.

    It is naked and cynical partisanship, to the point of parody. If we already know that there is no path to 66 votes whatever the evidence, I am not sure what the point is of moving forward at this point in time. I probably would have pushed harder for it to be initiated before he left, but now I am not sure what the message will even be for future Presidents. But if you have Johnson saying stuff like this, it seems to necessitate a trial if only to lay out facts.

    Johnson is, likely, in a dogfight for election in Wisconsin next year. Being a crazy right winger in Wisconsin is different than Hawley in Missouri or Cruz in Texas, much less Tuberville in Alabama. I'm not quite sure what happened to the GOP in Wisconsin. It's a much different party than the one from my youth.

    This appears to be the thesis behind why Trump will be acquitted:

    These guys have created a different set of Rules for them verses us. And they don't even try to hide it.

    It's an amazing bipartisan phenomenon on the Hill. No rules apply there!

    It's the great mystery revealed. Vote 'em out, they say. Knowing no single election will change the results enough to make a difference. By the time difference comes, they'll be retired.

    And the new batch that was voted in will be welcome to their ways and so no change is made.

    doesn’t matter anyways.

    the establishment owns the leadership of both parties.

    Does Biden have anything to do with gas prices and it costing me much more to fill my tank?

    been rising since december due to OPEC and friends cutting production in anticipation of weak spring demand.

    so: no.

    Oil was not making much money due to the pandemic. they are adjusting to align with demand and make some money.

    Yeah I’m sure he’ll enact some policy to affect it but any president is along for the ride on that for the most part

    We've had some pretty low gas prices due to the pandemic. As demand increases, you can bet prices are going to go up to cover the low year.

    She may have thought this was some sort of "orange man bad" operation that she could game. It never was.
