From Garry Kasparov:

The truth in front of our noses: Donald Trump’s behavior is disgustingly corrupt and impeachable, whatever his defenders do or say

It was foolish to hope that Donald Trump would be cowed into better behavior by the start of impeachment hearings last Wednesday. His type never admits wrongdoing, never apologizes, never changes for the better. Instead, they smear their accusers, attack the witnesses, and cause as much chaos as possible to distract from the growing pile of evidence against them.

Along the way, they drag their supporters down to their level, obliging them to twist the truth and contort their morals to defend the indefensible.

Thanks to the live feed of the hearings from the Longworth House Office Building, those with strong stomachs can watch this performative debasement in real-time. Just listen to the Republican congressmen during the hearings as they reel off denials, fabrications and distractions while never attempting to refute the core of the allegations against their master.

And how could they, since Trump’s lawyers, officials and Trump himself have already admitted to it all?

1. He is one of the consistently ugliest people, for the most part, I have seen in US politics in

my lifetime. I am still stunned he still has so many supporters, which tells me a lot about some of the US population.

2. Just pick any day of the week, he could be impeached

several times a day, every day.

3. He didn't get there on his own, give credit to the GOP

The GOP is just as corrupt and vile as DFT. They are the cesspool he rose from. Without decades of increasing levels of corruption, he would have been a minor footnote in the 2016 election. Because of the corruption of Nixon, which was never punished, the GOP knew they could get away with anything and there would be no repercussions. Then they found that they could weaponize the impeachment process and use it on their enemies like Bill Clinton.

Along came such vile creatures as Reagan, Newt Gingrich (Contract on America), two Bushes, Cheney... You get the idea. The GOP is morally bankrupt and has been that way for decades. Think of all the bogus labels they have put on themselves:
* Fiscal Conservatives
* Moral Majority
* Family Values

I could go on, but I am preaching to the choir here, so I won't. You get the idea.
