In some ways it's better that the GOP voted against witnesses. It makes it clear they–along with the material fact witness who led Trump's defense–engaged in a cover up, contrary to wishes of all Americans. It also means they Own Every Single Crime Trump commits going forward.

Feels like a fair number of Americans would be fine with Chinese or Russian rule as long as there was beer, porn, snacks, and sports channels – and if they felt their new overlords were not looking down on them for trading liberty for beer, porn, snacks, and sports channels.

It's extraordinary. As if they had lost rather than won. As if they were grieving rather than celebrating. The UK is going through all this because it is what they wanted but, still, they are consumed by anger. https://t.co/UXIOrnVvtX
