This is about right and wrong [View all]
I shall never comprehend all those people who state with certainty "this impeachment will get Trump re-elected, charge up his base, bring out the big donor bucks etc et al ". It is a nonsense. How can they possibly know how the average voter will react as more of the poisonous regime that is this administration drips into the consciousness of the typical American?
This is about right and wrong. Right? Law. Governance. Democracy. This is not just about Trump; it is about how the Office of the President must conduct itself.
Even if the republicans are demonstrably unable to distinguish between right and wrong, even if the impeachment goes nowhere because this republican senate is a bastardisation of morality, ethical decision making and justice. Even if they have enthusiastically sold their souls to a man that would throw them in front of the first bus to help himself.
Even if, all of this, there will be a reckoning. No-one, not even the cult that is Trump can be allowed to abuse the presidential office with impunity. America will not stand for it in the end. Once this over, when the dust has settled on this period on our history, for those who have perpetrated these attacks upon democratic norms there will be a reckoning.
Or am I just feeling optimistic cause season of goodwill and all that? Happy Christmas everyone. I am off to indulge in Christmas Crackers, Fizz and far too much food. Catch you on the other side. Much love to you and yours from across the pond.
