House impeachment managers: We told you dumb*sses he was corrupt

The House managers in Donald Trump’s impeachment trial — Adam Schiff, Jerrold Nadler, Zoe Lofgren, Hakeem Jeffries, Val Demings, Sylvia Garcia, and Jason Crow — just wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post in which they point out that Trump is just as lawless and corrupt as the day he was *cough, cough* acquitted following a witness-free Senate trial.

In other words, impeachment (and acquittal) simply taught him that he can be a bigger asshole than ever and Bill Barr will back him 100 percent.

A few excerpts:

The president was not changed by impeachment. He is as lawless and corrupt as ever. But his wrongdoing has far greater consequences given the acute challenges facing the nation, the failure of those around him to curb destructive impulses, and the continued unwillingness of many members of Congress to serve as a meaningful check and balance as the Founders intended.


Come on! That’s not fair. Susan Collins is very concerned.

In just the few months since the impeachment trial, more than 110,000 Americans have perished from a pandemic, tens of millions are unemployed, the world has turned away from America, and protests over police brutality and systemic racism have erupted nationwide. Yet Americans looking for leadership find none in the White House. Instead, this president and his administration take actions that rend the foundation of our democracy.

His acquittal has emboldened him and the Senate Republicans bear the responsibility.
