Initial Thoughts


By Zamboni

As you can tell, we're still feet-in-the-air from yesterday's masterful presentation by the House impeachment managers. But we have some thoughts that we can share before we see what today brings.

It's suddenly become clear that the Democratic Party has an abundance of fearless, brilliant Black women named Stacey. This makes us proud.

Claire McCaskill had to compose herself for a few minutes before she could discuss the day's events with Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC — completely understandable. The idea that Capitol Hill and DC cops were fighting with those Trump savages for hours is overwhelming, and Team Raskin made that very clear. However, not to quibble, but we would have preferred a bit more of (*sigh!*) MPDC hunk Michael Fanone.

Quick aside: It's Infrastructure Day at the White House!

Is there any doubt that had Officer Eugene Goodman not directed Mitt Romney away, the Trump mob would have killed him? Reminder that Willard was the Republicans' 2012 nominee. Additional reminder that the Trumpsters, as we know from the years we monitored them on Free Republic, have always hated him. He would have been dead.

Now we want to know what else happened — specifically, with the Trumpster lackeys who were installed at the Pentagon and who apparently refused to deploy the National Guard. (Remember that DC is not a state.) Ditto on any House members who toured the rioters around the complex the day before. Ditto ditto the Senators who delayed the certification (Hawley), or who received calls from Trump (Tuberville and, yes, Lee), or who are just assholes (Cruz). The House managers probably won't focus on their complicit colleagues, but they can tee up the questions for those who, in the coming days, will. We cats PURR.
