Impeach Pit

Not much to add to what's been reported relentlessly.  Trump became the third president in U.S. history to be impeached.  

For all the cries by Republicans about "process," he is impeached.

For all the cries by Republicans of this being a "sham," he was impeached.

For all the cries by Republicans that this has all been partisan, ignoring that that holds even more on their end, since at least a few Democrats voted against impeachment, he is impeached.

For all the insistence by Republicans that no evidence was presented, despite all the evidence presented, he was impeached.

For all the cries by Republicans about how fast this has been, while themselves preparing a much-faster trial, he is impeached.

For all the cries by Republicans that only hearsay evidence was used, despite first-person evidence entered of Trump's words in public and his words on the summary memo of the call, and that the White House blocked first-hand evidence from being entered, and the reality that hearsay evidence is actually permissible in many cased even in court trials, he is impeached.

For all the insistence by Republicans that Trump didn't have a chance to defend himself, despite the fact that he was and refused it, he is impeached.

For all the avoidance by Republicans never attempting to defend Trump's actions and explain why what Trump did wasn't improper, he is impeached.

For all the insistence by Republicans that Democrats have wanted to impeach Trump for three years for all his many impeachable acts, this was actually just the first time they tried, and he is impeached, 

For all the arm-waving, and body shaking and shouting by Republicans, he is impeached.

For whatever Republicans do in the Senate, whether or not they call any witnesses or cover the whole thing up, he is impeached.

And for all the people who long-insisted that Trump was cleverly maneuvering Democrats to impeach him because it's what he wanted, he is impeached and it's clearly driving him up the maniacal wall, leaving over 100 tweets a day now, writing angry TWEETS IN ALL CAPS, writing a rambling 6-page manifesto against impeachment, and sending a beautifully-packaged Christmas card envelope to members of Congress that also included his rambling 6-page manifesto against impeachment for the holidays.

Trump always loves being the first at whatever he does.  Well, he became the first president in U.S. history to be impeached during his first term in office.  Before even completing his third year.

But this is not about Trump, who was impeached.  This is about the elected members of the Republican Party who enable him, protect him, fall on the sword for him, and are complicit in it all.

This is the man who Republican officials have chosen to walk off the edge of the earth for and fall into the abyss over.  The man they most-likely know is crazy, incompetent and criminal.  And impeached.
