Yes, we know that Benedict Donald was just acquitted, but get this: It's the most bipartisan guilty vote in impeachment history, and the 57 Senators who voted that way represent two-thirds of the American people. Neat! Here are a few other observations.
We don't know what happened to that prepared acquittal statement that Bill Cassidy was spotted with yesterday, but apparently he ripped it up and tossed it in the trash. He should have saved it for a museum exhibit of historical oddities (you know, like McGovern-Eagleton buttons).
Looks like for the next four years, if the Republicans piss him off — which they're sure to do — Joe Biden now has the right to send a mob to storm Capitol Hill. That is, assuming he uses the word "peaceful" once.
(Hahahaha, Joe Biden wouldn't really do that. We think.)
It's perfectly fine that the House managers decided in the end against calling witnesses. That was today's version of how they handled the Mike Lee dust-up the other night: avoiding a drawn-out partisan sideshow that would have overwhelmed the ultimate result, both in history and in the headlines. Besides, Congresswoman Beutler Herrera's statement got entered into the record, and, impossible as it may seem, Kevin McCarthy looks even worse than before.
Isn't it fabulous that Trump is off Twitter? He must be steaming — especially since Mitch McConnell just got up and said that the House managers had proven the case.
Finally, speaking of the House managers, we're busily thumbing through our thesauruses (even though we don't have thumbs), looking for synonyms for the word "magnificent." Stacey, Eric, Joe, Diana, David, Joaquin, Ted, Madeleine, and especially, Jamie — you guys are catnip, tuna and tasty mice, rolled up into one. We cats PURR.
