The Heir opposes the Insurgent New Network's fatalistic hyperbole regarding votes on witnesses in the impeachment trial.  He will not forget how they dropped the ball on that network accordingly, the same way he now still holds it against them regarding their put down of Jerry Nadler regarding the Hope Hicks hearings.  They have no hope of living either down.  They cannot tell themselves that they just need to wait two weeks in news cycles and then act like nothing ever happened.  Even worse is how they still insist on having that hack Jason Johnson on half their panels.  They have no stalwart sense of law and justice as long as that guy's on their panels *and* they continue their fatalism.  Because you don't hear them getting behind the idea that if it's not a fair trial it's no trial at all, and therefore Trump was never acquitted because he was never really tried in the first place.  You also don't hear them acknowledging that Trump's impeachment status is a permanent stain on his legacy.  You also don't hear them try to find any hope in a trial on Trump after he leaves office.  No, they will today dismiss *all three of those notions,* and the Heir will forever remember they did so the next time they take the hopeless and cynical path.  Shame on them.

"Just as the Mentor said above: shame on them."
