DONALD TRUMP WINS AT IMPEACHMENT

Preziduhhhnt Trump loves to proclaim himself a winner at all times. To hear him tell it, he wins at everything he does, always. Well. as of last night, he can add yet another win to his vast list of dubious accomplishments -- he won at getting himself impeached.

Winning BIGLY!

Congratulations, Donald, you did it! There's been lots of Presidents but only a few have managed to get themselves impeached. You now belong to that very exclusive club. Not only did you get yourself impeached but you won the vote by a landslide! How proud you must be! But this is no time for the Prez to rest on his laurels, there's many more victories yet to claim. There's still so many more lies to tell, so many more scandals to detonate, so much more corruption to commit and less than a year to get it all done.

But wait, isn't there a Senate trial to be had?

Yes, there is but Mitch McConnell has already confirmed his intention to run a kangaroo court once the articles are sent to the floor so here's what I'd like to see happen; Nancy Pelosi is refusing to commit to a time when she'll turn over the articles of impeachment to the Senate so I think she should hold onto them until after the 2020 election to see if two things happen:

 - To see if Trump is re-elected
 - To see if the Dems can take control of the Senate

If those two things happen, then send the articles to the floor for a trial. That way, the Dems can deny the Repubs their rigged trial where they will just rubberstamp an acquittal for Trump and they can also remove Trump shortly after he's re-elected and spare this nation any more of that maniac's psychotic leadership.

Since there's nothing that precludes the Dems from pursuing this strategy I think that's the plan we should go with. If that means that we then have to deal with a President Pence, well, I didn't say it was a perfect solution, just the best one we have.
