The GOP (republican party) is preparing to dump the House Articles of Impeachment in the trash bin of history. We expected this. This is how political bosses deal with truth, fact and history. They disrespect what is uncomfortable for them.
Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina continues his romp to protect the damaged king. He insists he can and will change the Senate rules governing impeachment trial processing. He wants to change the rules. The guy who claims Democrats have done this for years. Wrong. The Democrats have not changed rules unless bipartisan agreement has been secured. Not the case with GOP. They do what they want when it fits their point of view. How they get away with this is a mystery. The opposition party has steadfastly stayed with compromise, cooperation and gentlemen practices. That is the culture of what both the House and Senate were built on over the centuries.
Madmen do their thing when inner demons call. We are witness to this now.
So, the trump dirt will be swept under the rug soon, maybe as soon as this week (January 10th) or by the following Friday, January 17th.
This will happen because they can do it. Nothing stops them. Not decency, certainly.
The GOP now owns donald j trump. He is there leader and values standard bearer. He admits the wrongs he has done and even gloats about them. And the party of Lincoln thinks nothing of it. It allows the accused full sway over their party and their government. What they don’t seem to realize is they now own all the problems of the USA. These problems emanated from the George W administration, repaired in the face of full opposition of the GOP during the Obama administration, and torn apart during the current trump reign of shame. History will have a field day with this.
With no admission of their guilt, the GOP appears ready to cover up history in some way or another. Wonder what this will look like. Wonder how they will spin this garish failure of standards, values and principle. But hey, education appears low on the priority list of the GOP. And most social issue for that matter.
I am beyond mystified. How can decency be so absent in our government? The courts? The Senate? The House? The White House?
The checks and balances are gone. The government Of, By and For the people is hanging by a thread. Where have We The People been?
Is this our future? Is this what we want? Government by special interest groups? Government of the wealthy? Government of the power seekers?
Why?
