The Democratic scheme to evict President Trump from office, which collapsed Wednesday when a majority of the Senate voted to acquit him of impeachment charges, was an extravagant waste of time. Sadly, amid todays feverish electoral polemics, rage has replaced reason.
Impeachment was always a fatuous and frivolous exercise initiated by House Democrats. Their constitutionally cited grounds were incurably weak and driven by a visceral hostility toward Trump.
Democrats who supported Trumps impeachment and conviction were motivated by an irrational but overwhelming desire to avenge their loss of the presidency in the 2016 election, obscuring their reason and judgment. The politics of hate now predominates in Washington. Vilifying Trump is a blood sport.
Not a single House Republican voted to impeach the president. Only one Senate Republican Mitt Romney of Utah, who was a Trump antagonist during the impeachment proceedings voted to convict the president on Article 1 (abuse of power), but acquit Trump on Article 2 (obstruction of Congress).
Romney has a complicated and contentious history with Trump. The senators vote was no surprise. Last October, before he had even seen much of the evidence, Romney said the presidents actions were wrong and appalling. Trump fired back by denouncing the senator and calling for Romneys removal. The feud has not abated and will surely persist.
Except for Romney, impeachment turned out to be exactly what it seemed a partisan smear driven by political animus and personal disgust of everything Trump. Americans recognized it for what it was. On the eve of Trumps acquittal, a Gallup poll showed that he had earned the highest approval rating of his presidency.

The absolute best part of this drama for me is that now Pelosi herself has committed a crime on Television punishable up to 3 years on prison.
Chair has ruled she tore up an official House Document.
No one is above the law, eh Pelosi?????????!!!!!!??????
She needs to held for it lock her up
“Partisan Democrat” is a redundancy, we know now there is no such thing as a non-partisan Democrat.
Those of us who do internet research must focus on one Cofer Black. After being head of counterterrorism at CIA, he was a foreign policy advisor to Romney on his 2012 presidential campaign while he served on the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, along with one Hunter Biden. I found it a bit interesting that Romney today, in addition to his public backstabbing, shrieked how Hunter Biden was in the clear and had done nothing wrong. Why would Romney say that without access to evidence? Did someone tell him to, or threaten him, or was Romney worried about his own connections to Ukraine? This low character is capable of anything.
Sounds like Romney has been outed as a partisan smear artist.
Nancy Pelosi defends ripping up Trump’s speech, saying it was just a “clump of cells”.

Gregg Jarrett deserves a lot of credit for exposing the sham impeachment scheme.
They should patch it back together and put it on display, like the Liberty Bell.
Tribe is claiming this was Pelosi’s personal copy..furthermore she is protected by First Amendment and Speech and Debate clause.
BUt I think this was before Chair ruled it an official doc
Are you sure that Shif and the Nad can be humiliated?
Democrats are incapable of feeling humiliated.
Wonder if the writer is any relation to the jazz pianist Keith Jarrett (?)
Sending some razor blades to my dem reps tomorrow.
Still waiting for someone to say who the "chair" is.
I’d love to see her nailed for that, I doubt she will but hope I’m wrong.
I can think of a few better ways to say what he is. :)
I’m thoroughly sick of Rmoney.
Rmoney can go suck an egg.
