MedCram COVID update

I can't stand Chauvin's attorney.

I'm just now catching up on testimony and have to skip past his, then watch the prosecution's rebuttal testimony. What I noticed today is that Nelson does almost all of the talking when he cross examines. All he wants from the witness is confirmation of his twisted attempts to create reasonable doubt, so he says what he says and all he gets is a yes or correct from the witness.

basically, he uses his time ostensibly examining the witness to testify. Is this objectionable? I certainly find it objectionable, but I'm not a lawyer.

so no witnesses.

it's a done thing. i hate this.

over the weeks of watergate hearings, many, many republicans changed their minds about whether he should be impeached and convicted. we're losing that. this rush job sucks.

Jamie Raskin just made me cry.

911 happened less than 2 months after my daughter was killed.
Jan 6 happened the day after he buried his son.
what i remember from 11Sep2001 is walking around feeling as if lead had been poured into my veins. it was so heavy.

I just want to hug him. I don't think it can be overstated how much courage, love, and patriotism he is proving by even being there.



watch if it you can; his speech was just before the first 10 minute break. not on youtube yet.

well, one thing remains the same.

i still can't listen to republicans and their BULLSHIT hypocrisy.
i have high blood pressure.

So I'm ready to go to sleep.

It's going to be so refreshing to wake up tomorrow without that constant sense of dread and wondering WTF he did last night. you know who i mean.

President Biden, sleep well, much to do.
