... I'm good for 500 pieces most times. Any higher and the pieces are too small, it tests my vision and frustration level. I like the quality of Ravensburger brand puzzles best.

the Trump impeachment case is a 5,000 piece puzzle.

And 4,999 pieces are placed already, and all of them spell out "CORRUPTION".

BUT BECAUSE THAT 5,000TH PIECE IS MISSING, THE GOP INSISTS THAT THERE IS NO CASE.

They'll want to give the benefit of the doubt because the bottom corner piece is missing (being withheld).

Having grown up in Germany, I know the Ravensburger puzzles well....

Maybe having them put in front of you from a young age teaches you how to deal with stress and form patience.

they sell. The colors are so vibrant.

And yes I have a vision problem too. I wear glasses so I have to use a magnifying glass to see really tiny details.

But I have watched a good part of the impeachment hearings since Nixon.
Perhaps it’s a tradition. Though I’ll have to say, I never felt the need for the mute button, even with the Clinton hearings.
This is so over the top, it’s simply maddening.
