The comments on social media are right-on tonight. "The Unabomber wrote better letters than this." "And he said Greta Thunberg had anger management issues?" "No one gets more upset than a narcissist who's being accused of something he actually did." "That letter was written by an insane person whose keepers should be ashamed of themselves."
That last one really resonated with us. We know from personal experience that letters from the President are gone over (and over and over and over) with a fine-toothed comb before they ever see the light of day. At least, that's how it used to work. Whoever on the White House staff allowed this piece of foolscap to go out needs to give his/her taxpayer-funded salary back. Several times.
But of course the main point about the letter is projection. Classic, classic case. With Benedict Donald, every accusation is a confession.
Are Senate Republicans just going to let this go by, too? Let's call their attention to the following Washington Post/ABC poll:
- 71% of Americans say that Trump aides (Mulvaney, Bolton, McGahn, et. al.) should testify at the Senate trial
- 55% say that the House proceedings have been fair (not a "coup")
- 49% say that Trump should be impeached and removed (versus 46% who say no)
While we've noted that Willard Mitt Romney continues to serve as the GOP's leading profile in cowardice, he's not up for re-election next year. We wonder instead, then, what Cory Gardner, Richard Burr, Susan Collins, Martha McSally, Lisa Murkowski and Joni Ernst are thinking in their secret heart of hearts. When will enough be enough?
Benedict Donald brought this on a Republican Party that, quislings that they are, decided to embrace him in 2016 and try to ride the tiger. Will they stay silent until they're inside that tiger? Or will someone have guts enough to jump off? It could only take one. We cats HISS.
