The Hill ^ | 24 Jan, 2021 | SEN. RAND PAUL (R-KY.

Sometimes in Washington, the powers that be will embark on a little bit of political theater. You can always spot it, though, if you look closely enough at what's real and what's not.

In the last days of the presidency of Donald Trump, the Democrats and a handful of Never Trumpers banded together to insist he be impeached, again.

Send somebody dressed like this to defend Trump.

Or, just have all the Republican senators walk out.

Any GOPe (Mitt?) who stay for the farce, primary the hell out of them, make them persona non grata in the party, totally shun them.

If no Republicans show up for the trial, then the Senate will convict with an unanimous vote.

It is more than a farce. It is unconstitutional malfeasance and everyone participating should be impeached themselves. No Bill of attainder.
