I have never been more ashamed of being an American in my life. This is such a freaking clown show. The world is watching how dysfunctional our lawmakers are.

You didn't hear when last night Adam Schiff said "Let's have a trial we can be PROUD of!"

I don’t think they’re dysfunctional. This is about a naked struggle for power. It happens *everywhere*. The difference here is that we do it without violence, either openly or in the background, and none of the players ends up in an unmarked grave.

The fact that it’s all very civilized doesn’t mean that the players are supposed to sit around congratulating each other on their awesomeness. The differences have to be thrashed out, and that is what is happening here. And the net result will be decided, after all the wailing and gnashing of teeth, in November of this year. With luck, it will be followed, year after year, by similar decisions in any number of Novembers for centuries no fewer than what preceded this coming one.
