Yes. Impeach and Convict. Right Now.

re: "Impeach and Convict. Right Now." (The New York Times, January 6, 2021)

 
Yes, in retrospect, the events of the past 24 hours, unimaginable four years ago, have a ghastly Trumpish inevitability.

If it is to salvage any shred of respect, the Republican Party's own members must themselves immediately initiate impeachment II of Trump to begin exorcising the moral corruption of Trumpism run rampant. The Republican cabinet should equally promptly move to invoke the 25th Amendment of the US's excellent constitution, which has, along with the judiciary, proved itself a bulwark against even the malignancy of Trump and his enablers spreading viciously fake claims as they undermined American greatness and smashed the United States' international standing.

Perhaps saddest of all is that 70 million Americans were taken hostage by the fake claims of the populist authoritarian perverting the rule of law to serve only his own ego, and perhaps his own rotting financial affairs. They deserve understanding and help now that the true nature of their hollow idol has irrevocably exposed its true nature.

Let the recovery begin, hopefully with lessons learned.
