It is real. Impeachment is fact. It is history. Mr. Trump has been impeached twice. Acquitted of the first round of impeachment, but impeached nonetheless. The second impeachment is authorized. The Senate trial is underway. Will they acquit or convict? We do not know, but we have strong feelings that acquittal is near.
That is a shame. The unmooring of our national character,
values, and trustworthiness will be complete. We will need to rebuild our
reputation as a reliable friend and ally on the world stage.
When we sign our name to a world peace pact, trade
agreement, or moral conviction that steadies the world community, it needs to
be believed. Together the global village can do much. It requires many nations
to stand together against ignorance, bullies, selfishness and militarization,
to build a peaceful future. Also to build a planet that sustains itself and its
living creatures for eons ahead.
No one country can do all of this alone. Together we can do
it. 10 world powers or a 190 nations signing an agreement makes it possible.
One standing alone does not.
Nor do international agreements work very much if the mightiest
nations absent themselves.
Impeachment matters. Impeachment is accountability for bad
behaviors. Behaviors that detract from our norms, our word. Our reputation.
Without that there is no trust. There is no peace.
Only death and destruction.
Senate; do your duty!
