Public Impeachment Hearings Start Today. Does anyone care?


It is 51 weeks until the election for president, all representatives, and a third of the senate. Today is the first day of the open hearings on impeaching the White House bully, who attacks everyone who dares to disagree with him, calling them names, belittling them any way possible. Yet most polls say that 70% of potential voters have made up their minds about impeachment and question how many will even watch the hearing. It seems that the nation is the most polarized since the McCarthy era. The polls say that those that support the president will stand with him regardless of anything he does. I do not understand supporting a bully. It appears that most of the Republican house members and senators are afraid of the president and his supporters. This means that regardless of any impeachment in the House, the trial in the Senate is a foregone conclusion. There will be no conviction, and the bully remains until the next election. The race for the Democratic nomination for president is a joke. It reminds me of what Will Rogers said. "I'm not a member of any organized political party.... I'm a Democrat." Amazing how things stay the same. I doubt if any Democrat can bring the party together and get enough independent vote to get elected. I expect that we will have a dysfunctional government in Washington for at least five more years. Perhaps, even more dysfunctional than now. I keep thinking about moving out the Estados Unidos, but more on that tomorrow.
