I agree with you M.. Dems had nothing to gain... a possible Pyrrhic victory .. but not even that likely ... this was perfect for Mr. Trump... No idea why they did it... Maybe they missed the rules of engagement in this :(

What do we think ? zerohedge.com "It Would Be A Great Honor To Speak To You": Musk Seeks To Speak To Putin In the latest surprising development from the world's richest man, moments ago Elon Musk tweeted the official English twitter account of the Kremlin, i.e., Vladimir Putin, saying "would you like join me for a conversation" on the popular (and so far invite-only) new audio social network Clubhouse. He then followed up in google-translated Russian "it would be a great honor to speak with you." While we await for more context on this rather startling development, and the Kremlin's response to this startling invitation, we fear that Tesla may have just lost all future neocon orders. We also wonder if there will soon be a nice, little - or not so little - dachia on the Black Sea coast with Musk's name on it.

My get-go premise was that “guilty” would be bad news, and “aquittal” would be different bad news Bad news is bad news, and is not good news. And so, <<not guilty>> is “acquittal” <<Biden irrelevant>> would certainly be not-good news, because if so, then all eyes on 2024, before 2028, and before we know it, 2032. A lot of scorched earth policies and reverse-policies in a lot of years. economist.com Stiffing the piper Donald Trump will probably be acquitted of inciting an insurrection The evidence is damning but the outcome in little doubt Feb 8th 2021 DONALD TRUMP accounts for half of all presidential impeachments. He holds the unique distinction of having been impeached twice, compared with once each for Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton. None has been convicted at trial (the constitution dictates that the House impeaches a president and the Senate tries him). Mr Trump’s acquittal took place almost exactly one year ago; his second trial begins on February 9th. The evidence against him is perhaps even more damning this time than last, but his hold on his party is just as strong, and there is little reason to expect a different outcome. Mr Trump’s previous impeachment trial centred on whistleblower testimony, a complex network of diplomats in multiple countries and a mountain of evidence. This one hinges on something that happened in plain view: the invasion of the Capitol on January 6th by Trump supporters intent on stopping Congress from certifying the electoral victory of Joe Biden in November. Congress does this after every presidential election, and it is usually a dull, pro-forma affair. This year, however, supporters of the defeated president stormed the legislature, resulting in the deaths of five people, including a police officer. Well over 100 people have been arrested. At issue in this week’s trial is the extent to which Mr Trump bears responsibility for the seditious violence enacted by his supporters.
