"Clean Up on Aisle Three, Bob..."
So much has happened since last we blogged politics that a bit of catching up is in order...
Let's see...on December 18th, 2019 Trump was Impeached for Obstruction and Abuse of Power.
(...imagine...)
Nancy waited a bit to send the Articles to the Senate for Trial and possible Removal, which unhinged Trump and the GOP in the Senate...all of whom were bitching (at first) that everything was going too quickly...
Now bitching that everything was proceeding too slowly.
(...seems to me they would complain if they were hung with a new rope...groan...too soon for Epstein jokes, eh???)
In between all of this Trump decided with a bit of help from his minions to assassinate one of Iran's top generals.
(...well THAT can't be good...)
Who in turn launches a dozen or so missiles at an Iragi base housing US troops
(...because...yeah...what did you think was going to happen...)
And Trump declares that no one was hurt...no harm...no foul.
(...except 34 are hospitalize now , after the attack, in Germany with Traumatic Brain Injuries...and he LIED TO US...again...)

Who saw that coming?
On the same night of the attacks a commercial jetliner wandered into Iranian Airspace and was brought down...everyone (167) onboard dead...
(...oops...)
And Lev Parnas
(...of the political duo "Lev and Igor's Excellent Adventure to the Ukraine"...)
decides to say "Fuck it" after Trump disavows even knowing him and do an information dump
On live television.
With documents and texts and phone records.
And information that appears to include surveillance and alludes to possible assassination talk regarding Former Ukraine Ambassador Yovanovitch...
(...holy batshit....)
Pretty sure Rachel Maddow came...live...on the air.
(...can I get a cigarette over here...)
And Nancy and Crew hand delivered the Articles of Impeachment together...processional...down the hall...across the Rotunda...into the Senate chambers...
(...just like delivering a Papa John's pizza...)
And SCOTUS Chief Justice John Roberts swore the Senate in...reminding them of their oath of office...
(...whew...)
And now we wait.
Trump's legal team is forming including
(...wait a minute...that can't be right...)
Alan Dershowitz, Ken Starr (and Pam Bondi)
If some of these people sound familiar...think Epstein's legal crew...oh and Clinton's BJ.
Even Monica Lewinsky weighed in (seriously) this morning with a single line
"You've GOT to be shitting me."
(DIRECT QUOTE)
Tuesday begins the Senate Trial.
So we will see where it all goes from there...
More anon.
