"The main negative to hearing more witnesses is it will likely stretch the impeachment fiasco to many weeks."

Gee... I wonder if the Dems actually realized that that would be the case....

Apparently according to Nadler “the Senate is on trial as well as the president”

Did I miss a memo somewhere along the line?

Considering the trailing Democrats that the party doesn't like would be stuck in the Senate for the duration instead of campaigning in Iowa and New Hampshire, I think they do.

In the photo of Pelosi signing the papers to send the impeachment to the senate, why is Pelosi smiling?

I'll tell you why.  She is doing this for fun.  It makes her happy that she is sticking it to Trump, regardless of the outcome of the impeachment vote.

Such solemnity. Such prayerfulness. I'm sure she's just relieved that the burden is on to the Senate, and out of her hands.

Solemn and serious event.

On the bright side, after Trump gets an easy win later this year, we'll be pushing through more judges that know what the constitution is, and maybe we'll even get a hearing protection act and some other things to wipe that smile off her face.

What a dichotomy yesterday, eh? Images of Laughing Nancy Pelosi signing impeachment articles with her monogrammed pens on a silver platter, to be given out as souveniers, vs images of Trump signing the China trade deal. I understand by the end of next week, he'll also be signing USMCA.

How does he not walk away with the 2020 election? JMO, but I highly suspect China finally accepted this deal because they too, think Trump is a shoe-in. I believe a part of their strategy to this point was stalling until this year in hopes of a pushover dem getting elected. Now they are looking at cutting their losses.

Also slight tangent, but I thought this was as interesting as it was funny:

https://twitchy.com/dougp-3137/2020/01/15/ouch-jeopardy-contestants-come-up-empty-on-identity-of-democrat-impeachment-circus-ringleader/

None of the contestants could identify Schiff. Now I may be wrong, but I would say that Jeopardy contestants are above average in intelligence and well-read. I'm not sure  I know what this might mean about the population in general, but I can't help but think impeachment may be much lower in the public's consciousness than I thought, or that the media (both left and right) would have us believe.

In an honest, free and fair election Trump's reelection would be a no brainer. The shitshow on turbo-steroids we are going to see this year is gonna be epic. IMO the dems were so sure of a Hillary win that they hardly engaged the fraud machine at all. For 2020 they've added turbos, nitrous, afterburners, and stolen the hyperdrive technology from Area 51. It's gonna get "interesting".

IMO, the did do that in LA and New York which is obvious when you look at the precinct by precinct map.  I might be more widespread this time.  We will see.

Remember when Trump handed out pens some in the media ran with the story that Trump was sending a message of violence because the pens looked like bullets?

Rand Paul threatens fellow Republicans with explosive witness votes
https://www.politico.com/amp/news/2020/01/15/rand-paul-witness-votes-impeachment-099407?__twitter_impression=true
Quote
Paul says if four or more of his GOP colleagues join with Democrats to entertain new witness testimony, he will make the Senate vote on subpoenaing the president’s preferred witnesses, including Hunter Biden and the whistleblower who revealed the Ukraine scandal — polarizing picks who moderate Republicans aren’t eager to call. So he has a simple message for his party: end the trial before witnesses are called.

“If you vote against Hunter Biden, you’re voting to lose your election, basically. Seriously. That’s what it is,” Paul said during an interview in his office on Wednesday. “If you don’t want to vote and you think you’re going to have to vote against Hunter Biden, you should just vote against witnesses, period.”

Sounds like he is trying to put pressure on the weaker Republicans who are tempted to side with Democrats on hearing more witnesses. 

Quote
After hearing opening arguments and questioning from House impeachment managers and the White House counsel, the Senate is expected to take a vote on whether to consider the witness issue at all, according to senators familiar with McConnell’s plans. If the Senate agrees to hear witnesses, every senator will have the chance to force a motion seeking testimony.

The poor reporters are complaining about a metal detector installed forthe impeachment hearings.

Quote
Installing a magnetometer means the Senate trial will have a soundtrack of “beep, beep, beep” as 90+ reporters walk in and out all day. There is no additional safety or security brought by bringing such a device into reporter work space

Yet they think it's a good idea for everyone else.

For the first 187 years of American history, exactly one president, Andrew Johnson in the 1860s, faced impeachment. In the last 45 years, three presidents have... Put another way, only one of the first 36 presidents had impeachment brought against him, but three of the last nine have.

Quote
Consider that from 1787 to 1992 the Constitution was amended 27 times, or roughly every seven years. Since 1992 there have been no successful amendments. For most of American history, Congress was able to conduct its positive duty of amendment often, but almost never its most negative one, impeachment. Now the exact opposite is true.

He didn't say 3 were impeached. He said 3 faced impeachment. I guess one might find talk of impeachment in other administrations.
