Well, it was a huge gamble, but she was right: Donnie did self-impeach. Thanks to the whistleblower, we found out about it.

He will be impeached. Will he be convicted by Moscow Mitch’s senate is the question. Twenty R senators are needed to vote to convict, and all D senators even the squishy ones from red states.

That’s right. He has no choice. It’s like a jury saying no, we don’t want to hear the case that a prosecutor has brought.

It turns out Speaker Pelosi is better at politics than Twitter is. Next time I think I know better than she does, I will try to maintain a sense of intellectual humility… maybe I am wrong. I think the world could use more such humility, not less.
