Trump's impeachment: 'The cowards stand aside'

Trump's impeachment: 'The cowards stand aside' 

Trump is like a wounded animal, acting out of fear. He knows his world is crashing in on him, even as he manipulates the crowd with the finesse of P.T. Barnum. Reports are that he only realized there may be consequences after the impeachment trial was over. The Democrats should have taken a clue from the President's lawyers and stopped the impeachment. A simple majority is all that is needed to declare him an insurrectionist and force him to get 2/3rds of both chambers to serve. If his daughter-in-law, who has designs on a Senate race, was part of the conspiracy, she can also be banned. 

The scenario for the coup is not that hard to suss out. Kill enough members to have the remainder change the result. No one made the connection, so the Republicans adopted the party line. They do not fear Trump. They know his finances are about to self destruct, and with them, his support. The pro-life movement will find another useful idiot, whose racism they can tolerate in order to maintain the lie that violence will result in saving the babies - and not just those identified by Q.

This impeachment is a very human story. The House lashed out in pain. When it became clear that Trump had been defanged for the last two weeks of his term, other options should have been explored. They still can be. The people who put Trump in their also have a reckoning to do - and it was not just the White supremacists who forced Trump onto the nation. There is enough blame to go around. The Bishops helped create this monster of a movement and they must help tear it down.
