Impeachment: Senate Trial 1.31.2020
I think you ought to know I’m feeling very depressed. Funny how just when you think life can’t possibly get any worse it suddenly does. The first ten million years were the worst. And the second ten million: they were the worst, too. The third ten million I didn’t enjoy at all. After that, I …

Impeachment: Senate Trial 1.30.2020
I talked to the computer at great length and explained my view of the universe to it. What happened? It committed suicide. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s the end of the United States as a Republic and the beginning of a Fascist Dictatorship. A referendum on merging the posts of Chancellor and …

Impeachment: Senate Trial 1.25.2020
Today the Republicans attempt to defend themselves. Because (as mentioned below) they really have no defense and are simply pounding the table, today (though they’ve had 3 full days to panic) will be brief, 2 – 3 hours. As you are watching please remember to monitor your blood pressure, take care not to damage anything …
