A Sham Trial In An Age of Treason

The Republican-fascist party will make the trial of the most criminal chief executive in the history or the country a sham, a rail road engineered to give them an excuse to do what all of them wanted to do all along, let him off.   The fight over the rules of the trial, the manipulation that the Republican-fascist leadership of the Senate working with the guilty party, Trump and his TV lawyers, have put out to cover their shameless asses is worth having, it's worth anything to expose their criminal collusion with the Trump crime mob as it was to expose the part the House fascists have played in getting the mega-gangster off. But even covering their shame isn't the goal, they might earn shame, they won't feel it.  You think Susan Collins has ever felt a second of shame over her career of lying and faking and aiding the worst of her party while having to strike a pose of "moderation" so the Republican controlled Maine media can gull the gullible in my state so as to put her lying, posing, hypocritical ass back in office.  You think Mitt Romney or Murkowski has ever felt a moment of shame?  I mean, Dershowitz, Trump's scumbag FOX-Harvard  lawyer has, no doubt, now given Trump the idea that he might get his Trump Tower in Moscow if he gives Alaska to Putin, you don't think he'd try that if he really believed he could get away with it?  He's delivered him the rest of the country, or, rather, the Republican-fascist Supreme Court did. 

I don't, not for a single second doubt the outcome of the sham of shame that the Republican-fascists are starting in the Senate today, I have outraged many a liberal online since c. 2002 by pointing out that the Constitutional impeachment provision of presidents is a sham, itself, one that hasn't removed presidents who have brought us into terrible wars and terror campaigns that have killed tens and hundreds of thousands - as I pointed out even the vote on the Nixon impeachment articles rejected the one in regard to Nixon's invasion of Cambodia, the death count of which is in the millions, one introduced by Congressman Fr. Robert Drinan.  That the removal of an American president by impeachment is a fraud, in itself.   No, the only way to end the criminality of an American president is by voting them out of office, which is why allowing the media to lie is especially important in this regard, something understood by the Republican fascists, but a horribly dangerous truth which a devotion to First Amendement fundamentalism blinds American liberals to.  

I hope the Democrats in the Senate make as big and effective a stink about the sham that the Republican-fascists are mounting as possible and I hope the House keeps investigating, pressing the legal campaign to force the testimony of Bolton and the rest of them in the House, arresting anyone on a legitimate witness list who refuses to show up.   I think that after this sham it's worth experimenting with that unused but present power in the Constitution, what have we got to lose that will not be lost if they don't try it?
