Today I Heard The Impeachment Trial Called A 'Cover-Up Trial'.....

We've always heard that 'the cover-up is worse than the crime'. We are finding out through Bolton's book and the Parnas letter - that virtually everyone was in the loop. I just heard somebody on TV ask the question: who wasn't in the loop.

Today 51 Repug Senators voted for no witnesses and no evidence be included in this trial and right now - most probably - on Wednesday the same will vote for Trump's acquittal.

The question that comes up - are the Repug Senators that voted/will vote - considered accomplices of this cover-up and could they be prosecuted for being participants in the cover-up?

It stuck in my mind since it is so simple yet accurate. We should always call it what it is. "The Cover Up of Donald tRump", not "The Presidency of..." or the "Impeachment Trial of...".

I personally can't wait until he IS covered up (with 6' of dirt on top of his shiny, tacky gold leaf coffin).

“gilded” tombstone that has black cats on it and says “He grabbed one too many”. I might add some splashes of yellow paint for the urine effect.

I made a life size mummy and sarcophagus with my old 6th Grade class and I put it out on the curb while cleaning house and someone asked if they could take it for Halloween. It was well made and large and hand painted (by me). My students could even fit in it. Fat Donny would never fit in it. He would need a piano box-sized sarcophagus. Of course it would be spray painted and not gold leaf since he is basically broke.
