Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Please Practice Self-Care

These impeachment hearings are going to be packed full of lies and stupid arguments. Trump's lawyers aren't making a case to neutral jurors, they are making a case to brains pickled in years of Fox News - one worm-ridden brain in particular.

Trump will be acquitted in the Senate.  This was always going to happen. It won't happen because the Democrats failed to pull off some Aaron Sorkin inspired bullshit.  It won't happen because they don't have a strong case. It won't happen because what Trump did was OK.

It will happen because the GOP prizes party loyalty above constitutional government.

So, don't invest your emotional energy in this disgraceful display by the Senate GOP.

Register someone to vote instead.  That's our only hope.
