So, SOTU is Tuesday, Vote on removal Wednesday...

...Well done, Dems!

I see that Speaker Pelosi and her crew are playing this out perfectly. Moscow Mitch thinks he has the winning hand, but he is being beaten every day, and it is a beautiful thing to see.

Investigations and public hearings will continue, more evidence will come to light, and more and more of the GOP will get caught up in Trump's criminal behavior.

The baton will then be passed to us in November. If we do our part even half as well as Speaker Pelosi, the blue tsunami will sweep out Trump and the GOP majority in the Senate.

No pardons. no wiggling off the hook this time.

punctuated with insults, lies, and grievances. He could just as easily Twitter it in and let CJ Roberts read them as soon as they fall out of the ether.

-- Trump's speech will be vile.

BUT -- it would be even worse, much worse, if he were acquitted before The SOTU.

like an Ipecac IV. But he'll do that anyway, whether it's warranted or not. And that's why I'll just leave him to his mini-MAGAt rally and watch SpongeBob SquarePants or something.
