Republican Senator Rand Paul kept flipping to his crossword, Senator James Risch seemed to fall asleep at 5:30 p.m., Senator Tom Cotton had a glass of milk, and Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries quoted Notorious B.I.G.'s 'Juicy.'
The second day of Trump's impeachment trial was full of weird details that will certainly add color to future history books. Even so, Late Show host Stephen Colbert noted that the momentous trial still couldn't beat Mr. Peanut or Gritty on Twitter's trending topics. "We're doomed," he sighed.
Colbert was impressed with Rep. Adam Schiff, who "took to the well of the Senate and played the hits," clearly laying out the case against President Trump. However, as expected, Republicans continued to Republican, blocking every attempt to allow further evidence in the trial.
It was as though they thought not seeing it meant it didn't exist, like babies who haven't learnt object permanence. Which would actually have explained the nap time and milk.
"Oh come on, why are you rejecting all information? Aren't you the least bit curious about about all the crazy shit Trump did?" exclaimed Colbert.
"Everybody wants to find out their boss' secrets! Take it from me, you don't want to learn it from a Ronan Farrow article!"
