Grocery shopping, just paused to let my 4-year-old eat lunch. Did I miss Hurd's questions, and if so was he mostly or entirely disappointing in the "asking sincere questions" department?

I'd say that Hurd has been a disappointment but that would require that I ignore my operating principle that there are no good Republicans.

Biden has sat immobile on the Iron Throne of America. He is the Master of Malarkey by the will of the gods, and master of a million votes by the might of his inexhaustible calamari.

I had like...a modicum of respect for him during the Mueller hearings (and his opposition to the border wall among other things), but that's all gone because as the impeachment hearing continued he started to toe the line more and more...predictibly.

No, his counsel is Volkov I thought. I don't think Vindman's brother is representing him during this hearing.

No, his brother is a lawyer but I think is just in the gallery as a show of support.

Well, you'll notice I asked "mostly or entirely disappointing" not "disappointing or not"; I had hopes for him after the Mueller hearings, but I am not still thinking he knows how to reinstall a spine.

I thought Gym said it was from their depositions, but it seems really fishy that she would say something she knew there was a written record that disproves it?

The one trick the government doesn't want you to know about! Commit any crime! Order any murder! Get away with it simply by not using particular words while you directly and openly demand a crime be committed in front of multiple witnesses!

Jordan was trying to feed a narrative of events to the Lt. Col that made it appear he chose to alert his superiors randomly or in a biased manner, attempting to get him to agree for a sound byte, but the Lt Col smacked down that attempt and didn't rise to the bait.
