The drama of the Senate trial is continuing, as the Democrats lose their collective minds, joined by six squishy Republicans to continue this Stalin-esque show trial. I feel that the glue of their unceasing hatred for al things Trump is all that's keeping the party from arguing amongst themselves at this point.
The point, of course, is to sully Private Citizen Trump so that he won't run for office again. Honestly, I could't blame him for fading into political obscurity and spending his golden years in semi-retirement.
Anyone with a lick of common sense can see the blatant unconstitutionality of this trial. With Senator Leahy acting as both judge and juror, the supreme moot-ness of the proceedings, we have to ask ourselves what the Democrats hop to achieve.
I know that for myself, this entire proceeding has revealed some flaws in my own voting record. I once voted for Mitt Romney; that will never happen again. I once voted for Bill Cassidy, and I'll not make that mistake ever again. Having an open mind is one thing, having an empty mind is something else entirely.
So, knowing that a conviction is all but impassible, we have to ask ourselves what the end-game might be. Next week, they won't have Trump to hate on anymore, and they will have to settle down and govern a terribly divided nation. For all Biden's talk of unity, I admit that I haven't seen anything that makes me want to give him the benefit of the doubt.
This week, the political process is like watching paint dry. It's pointless. Next week, what else are they going to come up with?

Donald Trump is going to haunt them for the next three decades.
Donald Trump, Junior.
Those of us that watched the sham of an election whilst the thugs cardboarded over the windows so the republican poll watchers could not see them cheating and the many other suspicious goings on that were video recorded all to be marked as " nothing to see here " by even the feckless supreme court have been effectively numbed to the tactics of the communist left . We are left waiting for the match that will ignite the fire . I was in a little country store yesterday [no masks to be found] and the three country folk were all talking about the new gun control bills the tyrants have came up with . Civil war was mentioned more than once . The persecution of President Trump [yes,he's still president in these hills] may just be the match the leftists are looking for . I sincerely wish it will not be so but here in the flyover country the talk is all about lost liberty and guns .
One of those squishy Senators is from the Frozen Freakin' North I call home. She needs to go and has since her daddy appointed her. She got soundly beaten in the primary a few years back but managed to run a "successful" write in campaign where anything even resembling an "M" was a vote for her.
So why can't a voter just write Donald Trump in ? The voter decides who their candidate is, not the political party (especially the opposition !!). People write in many different people, why not write in Trump ?
Maybe since they have changed the rules and are conducting an unconstitutional trial they will go a step further and call a simple majority a conviction and come up with some sort of an extreme sentence!
I'm not so sure they will settle down and get back to business. Business for the democrats has been anything but for the last decade, and especially for the last 4 years. I think there is a good possibility they will spend their time witch hunting and maybe making
Joe McCarthy look like a rank amateur.
It's more like watching paint dry after motor oil has been mixed in it - it never dries, but when you light it, it burns nice.
Unfortunately, I agree with BobF - it is likely they never will get down to governing; prosecuting your political enemies is easier...
