(53,061 posts)23. Brilliant as usual. This week was a great week for Democrats.
Next week will be a great week for Democrats.
Soon we will pass the most popular legislation in 50 years. When Covid 19 stimulus passes at the same time Covid vaccines start rolling out in big numbers and Covid infections drastically fall a new optimism will become infectious. By July we will return to normal life and there will be a lot of pent up discretionary spending.
In the meantime Trump and company will start facing a cascading waterfall of depositions, both criminal and civil. Trump will eventually get on a plane to Abu Dhabi to escape the legal avalanche coming his way. That is why he became so desperate to remain in office, it provided immunity.
Decades from now people will see this as the beginning of a good age where the US economy started pursuing a Green New Deal and internal combustion engines became the endangered species.
Just as no one in the Middle Ages perceived that they were in the MA, nor expected the Spanish Inquisition, no one thinks they are in the Good Old Days at the time.
Twenty years from now we will be watching the 10 anniversary of the Rock Opera "Trump American Facist in his Own Words" and we will laugh until tears roll out when Trump's defense team sings that "I had to change my opening because the House Managers were so good" or "Don't impeach him, indict and imprison him".
Up next? Justice, Fulton County GA, Style.
These will someday be known as "The Good Old Days".

I admit, I was disappointed in the outcome even though I knew that they wouldn't convict.

Thank you many times over. Your thoughts are needed here, as some are indeed quite agitated....

looks like the managers got a knock out and Trump's side dug a ditch and buried themselves
