Ever have one of those nightmares where it's your time to talk and everybody's looking at you, but you haven't prepared anything?
Rachel Maddow MSNBC

I've had that nightmare a million times, but never once where the amount of time I had to tread water and ad lib and fail and flail was **four hours**.

2. Where's the big cane to haul his butt off the stage. Schoen is just throwing shit against the wall,

hoping something will stick. And he keeps talking, and talking, and occasionally smiling (trying to be engaging). He's now swaying from side to side because he's boring himself.

3. And when what he's thrown falls off the wall....

He just scoops it up and throws it again (and again and again and...)!

4. That might explain

the rocking back and forth, which finally made me have to take a break from Schoen. My mom used to do that when she felt socially very uncomfortable and self-conscious. I think it's a self-soothing thing.

5. More like no matter how bad you do you know the republicans won't convict and you'll win .

7. ok, lets stop being so negative, I am an optimist and the Democrats have presented and increidible

case, they have done something I thought would be impossible, which is to put many republicans in shame.

So lets put our minds together and get that nice feeling that enough republicans will do the right thing and convict trump.

I know, I know, it is not easy, but we must keep our optimism alive, even Moscow Mitch understands the severity of trump's actions and the damage he has done and continue to do to the republican party and the country.

6. He should try using the cat filter

9. why do I suspect his prepared remarks are written in sharpie?

Proceed counselor.

10. My take on Mr. Schoen: "With all due respect, sir....."

The first 0:45 is all you need to watch.

"...you're beginning to bore the hell out of me."

(sorry to use Eastwood, but it was the best I could find.)

11. Somebody could've lent him Green Eggs and Ham.

Just sayin'.

12. Well that was some weird shit.......

The first guy reminded me of being at a convention of some sort where the speaker at the podium, who obviously loves to hear himself talk, rambles on and on to the point where you get the urge to run to the crapper for the duration.
The second guy was just.....weird. With his strange quirks of flicking his tongue around every couple seconds and the really weird mannerisms when he took a drink of water, one hand hold brings the container to his lips, the other hand brings the lid to the top center of his head.....I had a hard time concentrating on anything he said. Once I saw the tongue and drinking quirks I couldn't unsee them. I gradually fell asleep to the barrage of bullshit he was spewing.

14. catbyte....

Man - Rachel certainly has a way of saying things.....

[AC_Mem]

15. Did anyone notice

that when he would take a sip of water he would touch the top of his head? WTH was that all about?

The man was the legal representative of Robert S and Jeffrey E - that's all anyone needs to know about how far 45 has fallen.

16. Per what I read on Twitter

That attny is Jewish and normally wears a yarmulke, which would fall off if he were to tip his head back to drink. Comments said it was a reflex to do that even though he was not wearing one today.

[tblue37]

18. Not exactly. As an Orthodox Jew, he must cover his head when eating or drinking. The hand serves

in place of the yarmulke he isn't wearing.

[catchnrelease]

19. Thanks

Ah, thanks for the correction. There was some debate about it where I was reading, but glad to know the real answer.

17. How can EVERYTHING connected to Il Douche be somewhere between "tinged" and

"steeped in the surreal until saturation?" It doesn't seem possible, yet there is is.
