We've done this. Impeaching him doesn't demonstrate that we are a country of laws in any meaningful way.

We haven't done this. Not like this. I think you are failing to take into account the torches and pitchforks that completely reshaped the political environment in this country, literally overnight. Nobody, but nobody, predicted the landslide that crumbled away from underneath the rotten Don last night.

I have no idea what will happen next, but I don't think the dozens of millions of citizens who voted blue last night are going to want to be told, "Sorry, there's nothing we can do about the crook. We just have to wait until the clock runs out and he's good and ready to depart with his loot."

That undertow won't fly against the blue wave, to chop up a fresh batch of metaphor slaw.

I also think a number of cowardly feckless Republicans have just been put on notice that their hiding places have been discovered and they're going to be dragged into the glare of the spotlight by the heels. If you are a Republican Senator who's up in two years, aren't you going to be trying to save whatever shred of your ass remains?

Sounds like you disagree, Al, and that's cool, baby.

I'm going to enjoy contemplating a return, or an expedition, to the America they used to tell us about in elementary school.

Take it easy.
