John Bolton signified he was willing to testify at the Senate Impeachment Trial, that Senator McConnell would move Heaven & Earth to wrap that sumbitch up quick, and he did by Ghod.
Oh course McConnell shredded the US Constitution in the process and likely had to make some bloodcurdling threats at Senator Collins, but he got the job done. "High Crimes" only exist when democrats are in office I guess, the Constitution can now rest on its laurels assuming the GOP ever leaves office.
But mostly Trump still has his job tonight out of sheer fright, Lamar Alexander and his useless ilk couldn't stand up to the imagined death threats etc, they are scared of Trump in a childish helpless way and in that sad cringeworthy fear the Two Party System enters its death spiral.
Or not.
In the face of all these challenges I still assert that only a living democracy sworn to a Constitution and the Rule of Law can regenerate itself in times of deep degradation. Given that McConnell has suborned the US Senate on his behalf, we can expect Donald Trump to do everything in his power, legal and illegal to hijack the 2020 election, and if he succeeds in that Heaven Help Us.
But even in that final extremity, there is a light and a way forward, we are being tested by Inscrutable History and We Must Not Be Found Wanting.
"Fellow-citizens, we cannot escape history. We...will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation."
Abraham Lincoln, 1861
