Thoughts on The Impeachment Trial
Feb. 7th, 2020 06:33 amHi everyone and happy first Friday of February. Once again this week's highlight is ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
talkpolitics . I've been more or less captivated by all the impeachment coverage, and I recently discovered that I can listen to C-Span on my Amazon Echo. I'm finding C-Span to be a very good resource, not only in the accessibility department but also because of their coverage. Regarding the impeachment trial itself, everybody with whom I've spoken lately predicted that the entire thing would be worthless and I think that was definitely the case. I didn't listen to it all the way through yet. I listened to enough of it to come to the conclusion that the impeachment managers appointed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi did a very fine job making their case for President Trump's impeachment and/or removal from office altogether. I thought Ms. Pelosi herself did a nice job carrying out her responsibilities during the trial. Based on what I've read and heard about Donald Trump from his very first day, I think he should have been impeached and/or removed from office right away. But he was acquitted of all charges, and I guess we're just gonna have to deal with that. It will undoubtedly be pretty difficult for the Democrats and others against Trump to move ahead and get things done, but somehow they'll just have to do it.
I think that does it for this week. Take it easy everybody and talk again soon.
