i ripped off the band-aid, and there was nothing underneath.
fast work, conclave.
at the time the stakes of Trump's second impeachment did not seem so high. of course he should have been convicted and removed, obviously. but Repubicans' cowardice felt like passing the buck on a symbolic act, rather than putting the republic at risk.
