One Word

Total Acquittal.

The one word that, according to TrumPutin, best describes the impeachment outcome.

A better single word is Total Assholes, one word that describes him, his administration, and the Republicans in Congress who suffer his foolhardiness gladly.

Or maybe Total Partial Innocence, the same verdict from Mueller, who found him guilty but protected by the DoJ cult led by Barr. 

Total Partial Innocence of impeachment, the official line descending from a perfect call and read the transcripts to no perfect call, definitely a quid pro quo, fear of witnesses and testimony, read the part of the transcript where Total Partial Innocence is plausible. The cream rises never rises in TrumPutin's world.

Or maybe Total Lies, the centerpiece of his administration, as well as his life. Not a stable genius, definitely a complete coward, not a businessman, yes a racist, and always a blowhard.

Stealing an Election the Right Way

The Republicans are adamant that the House didn't do its job, and that the investigation into TrumPutin and Ukraine is an attempt to steal the 2016, or the 2020 election, or both.

Of course, they forget that the 2016 election was already stolen, the Electoral College already taking the election out of the hands of the voters and giving it over to a handful of states where the Orange One used the slimmest of popular votes to take all electoral votes.

Now, that is the right way to steal an election, and more constitutional, according to them, than having to have the Supreme Court validate a dodgy outcome. 

Besides, they can use the Senate non-trial to illustrate how an effective quid pro quo really works: their votes to acquit a guilty leader in exchange for his stupid acquiescence to deregulation, travel bans, fine people in white nationalist thuggeries, drilling rights in the Arctic, fracking in North Dakota, Christian sharia ala Pence, etc. etc. etc. 

All TrumPutin has to do is wander around the country, inciting hate at his rallies, and let the Senate do its legislative work, making the world safe for autocrats, oligarchs, tax evaders, defense and wall contractors, and, of course, nepotism.

Make America Whatever, on a red hat.

No Need to Say It

So Lindsey Graham had an interview to say that he was not going to be a fair juror.

At least he was true to that statement, but ...

Lindsey, why do you think you needed to say that?

Why not have an interview and tell the world that you've decided not to be an unrepentant ass? Now, that would be news. 

It was obvious, from the time of your conversion from one who viewed TrumPutin as inadequate to the task of being even a pseudo-president, to one one who shrieks in support in order to secure golf dates with Rick Perry's chosen one, that you were never going to be a fair juror.

Crazy Lindsey, Moscow Mitch, Toadying Ted, Demented Darin, Red-Faced Rudy, etc. etc. etc. TrumPutin's defenders queue up to tell the world what an almost-innocent man looks like, if only he didn't do things that were against the law. And now they have Alan the Clown, Jay the Idiotic, and Pat the witness/attorney to back up their sycophancy with constitutional nonsense.

Never were the Republicans more devoid of character, logic, courage, or sense. Since yesterday, that is. Every day is a new record for stupidity for them.
