So-Called quote "acquittal" unquote

I don't feel good about today's so-called acquittal but I can't act all shocked and surprised. It's a political trial requiring a super-majority way beyond anything like what the Dems have in the Senate. This is nothing like a court of law with a judge, etc. I was a bit shook by the way the prospect of witnesses emerged, and then vanished in a puff of smoke, but it seems like some of the reportage jumped the gun there a little too. One way or another, everyone watching closely knew this day was coming. I fear the Dems may have blown the chance to inflict maximum political damage, in the short run, but the truth is that the midterms are so far away, in political time-scale, that it's really hard to say how anything happening now would truly play out by then.

For now, Trump is the only President to be impeached twice, and the only President to have a bipartisan vote for conviction in the in Senate - twice. He is the only President to lose the popular vote twic.e He has amassed 50% of the impeachment trials ever in American history. Corporate America is fleeing him like he is a the Virus itself. A competent administration rules the White House, the GOP is eating itself alive, and who knows what the future holds? We abide.
