Is it the fog of war? Power-hungry men, mostly, lying and cheating to retain power.
I feel duty-bound to listen to proceedings in the Senate impeachment trial, but it's nonsense.
Today Democratic senators are asking questions to which they know the answers. They're just asking the House Managers in order to give them the opportunity to speak for removing the president.
Republican senators are asking the president's legal team questions carefully worded to give them the opportunity to say the president has done nothing wrong. Presidents can't be removed for abuse of power, says Alan Dershowitz.
MSNBC commentators are frantic about 45 getting away with bribery and abuse of power and obstruction of Congress--thus giving all future presidents permission to do the same. Heaven only knows what Fox commentators are saying.
I've been feeling glum all day--after being encouraged yesterday by several Senators apparently planning to vote for witnesses and documents.
Meanwhile, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court sits there silenced.
Even the senators are quasi-silenced--they can only submit small cards, each with one question on it.
John Bolton's book will come out on March 17, revealing what his testimony would have been if Republicans had not succeeded in quashing witnesses.
Three years ago on November 8, 2016, I thought things couldn't get any worse.
I was wrong.
Women thought that demonstrating against the new president in January would help things.
It didn't.Many of us thought impeachment was our best course of action as dt began restricting travel from seven Muslim nations.
We were wrong. Impeachment has occurred, but the Republican Senate refuses to hold a fair trial of the two articles of impeachment.
"A Republic if you can keep it," said Benjamin Franklin.
It's looking as if we can't keep it.
