For the record, my initial reaction was that I wasn't a fan of another impeachment process this late in the ballgame, with only days to go before Biden's inauguration. He himself has tried to distance himself a bit, knowing he's going to have his hands full with the rest of the mess Trump's left behind..... without having to also deal with an impeachment process. That was my initial reaction.

Yes... I'd like Trump out of the WH as soon as possible. Like a child bad loser, he's dropped all pretenses of even going through the motions on trivial stuff like COVID-19, and has bunkered himself in his little office... alternating between alienating his few remaining friends and allies.... and treating puppet Pence like a lap dog (worse really... because you don't slap lap dogs around). He's turned on those who have defended him all these years... all because of the cardinal sin of finally seeing reality and throwing in the towel (and quietly advising him to do the same). Sorry about the following parallel (you're not gonna like it obviously). But we've all read about Hitler's last days of life, where his delusional visions of victory caused the death of thousands of German soldiers, while he remained in his bunker... until there was nothing left to do but take his own life.

Yes... I'd like Trump out of the WH as soon as possible. BEFORE he continues doing the vindictive things he's doing like the mass pardons (even to convicted murderers) and fucking up foreign relations whenever he gets the chance. Like the awful tenant who leaves the leased apartment a mess to thumb his nose at the incoming tenant or the owner... Trump is doing his best to make things as difficult for Biden as possible from Day One. I want Trump out the White House before he can do ANY MORE DAMAGE.

But, impeachment? C'mon man. If there is any other way to prevent Trump from running again, then I'd go for that instead. Someone's gonna have to explain to me what possible good is going to come out of a second impeachment process, when all the first one did was make Trump more of a martyr in the eyes of many. This one is going to turn people yet again... who knows in what direction. Heaven knows some people nowadays seem to have their brains on a swivel... as evidenced by shifting popularity numbers and all that.

And yet... the permanent damage to American society is done.

One just has to look at this Neanderthal of a Representative from Georgia and her pathetic attempts to bring impeachment articles against Biden, to see this shit is beyond repair.

Any time for the next few months that I hear a politician claim that "this isn't who we are"...... I'm not going to be able to suppress a chuckle and raised eyebrow.

Those are empty words by now.
