I had to get some blood drawn this afternoon prior to my annual checkup next week

and the big screen TV in the waiting area that's been tuned to HGTV the few times I have had to visit the place was tuned to the Impeachment Trial. Everybody waiting (about 12 people) were seated opposite the TV watching it. Hear that, gop?

And who says that folks aren't interested?

...but then again, #MoscowMitch has done everything he possibly can to limit access to the Senate chambers. #MoscowMitch does NOT want America to see this trial, the evidence or the conduct of the GOP*.

TVs or have them tuned to variety stuff or house flipping shows. Given that I am in redland, that is ok with me.

Mine are giving me jaw aches. I actually have to massage them because of the pain.

Usually folks are sitting all over the waiting area with their noses in their phones. They chose to watch Schiff's very compelling opening statement.
