Is there an asterisk after Trump’s name yet?

“I do not believe no matter what was said today and even what has been said, this is not a solemn occasion,” Collins said very quickly. “When you go looking for something for three years, and especially this year since January, you ought to be excited when you found it. I was thinking about it. Why do we keep calling this a solemn occasion when you’ve been wanting to do this since ever since the gentleman was elected.”

Gentleman? Bro, you really need to get your head out of his ass for a few minutes.

It clearly shows that they fundamentally don’t understand the gravity of the positions they hold. It’s all a zero-sum game to them. I win, you lose. They don’t view it as an institution to be respected and supported through good times and bad. It’s just a vehicle for their own personal enrichment.

They know that if the positions were reversed, they would be dancing in the streets, rubbing the Dems’ faces in it.

Oh boy! I think I’ll get me some of this. Watch a bunch of overpaid goofs debate an impotent forgone conclusion. Fascinating.

What are my feelings toward this? Well, anger that we have The Man Who Would Fuck Up Being King in the Oval Office and a bunch of lickspittles in the highest legislative body in the land.

For anyone who has missed it, here’s a catch-up on the day’s proceedings:

Random Democrat: Up is up, down is down.
Random Republican (with indignation): Up is down! Down is up!
Random Democrat: Up is up, down is down.
Republican (with indignation, spoken in a drawl): Up is down! Down is up! Durde wurde gurde! Wurde urde gurde!
Random Democrat: Up is up, down is down.
Republican (with indignation, spoken in an auctioneer’s machine gun’s fire): Up is down! Down is up! Durde wurde gurde! Wurde urde gurde!

Seriously…you’d think someone took away their slaves and then told them they were slowly becoming a minority or something…

Man, I love it when the Stephanie Grishams of the administration say Trump is working, and his fierce concentration on the tasks at hand preclude any possibility of his paying attention to stuff like an impeachment debate, because what a workaholic, and then he tweets and makes them look like asses there I said it.

I’'m not sure this is a “live” blog. It seems to be at least 40 minutes behind.

At least there’s enjoyable parts to our descent into a racist, fascist hellscape…
