They never had principles. The people holding those offices were groomed to be caretakers for their masters’ desires. And, since principled people were not chosen in the first place, we have a GOP senate full of spineless wanderers who cannot actually tell up from down until they are told which is up and which is down on any particular day at any particular moment by their puppet master.

You are right. I keep hoping that someone will show some spine because it’s hard to think that more than half the US senate has been taken over by people who literally just don’t give a shit about the senate. But that’s a fantasy. I keep thinking that if the US collapses some of them will feel sorry, but I just don’t really have a reason to even think that. I think Mitch will just smile.

As someone once tweeted:
Washington Post: Trump shits himself
White House: The President would never shit himself
Trump: I SHAT MYSELF ON PURPOSE!

Look at Mitt Romney, the only one to dissent in the impeachment. He was never a paragon of principled stands, “I’ll fight you because my position is right!” He was always a panderer to business, the puppet masters as I described. He never cared about regular people. And yet he is the one with a hint of bone in his spine. He’s no hero for that dissent. A total anti-hero with a bit part.
And the rest of them? Lost. Irretrievable. Show them the door. They stink like last week’s garbage.

I wouldn’t completely go with “He never cared about regular people.” As governor of MA he was instrumental in pushing through universal health care for all children in the state. He did a number of other things on the state level that were definitely good for the masses, particularly the middle class. I agree he is not a bastion of principled ideals…but in looking at levels of grey, he’s certainly not the same shade as McConnell, Ryan, Gingrinch for example.

Legally and ethically? Absolutely. Is it going to happen in today’s political climate? Not a chance.

He can be impeached again and again for all his many crimes. But he can be acquitted again and again by the Republican majority in the Senate.

I think we’re in this place now where we end up coming across as praising people for doing things that we would have previous been angry at them for not doing. I saw a clip of people praising John Kelly for telling the truth about Trump and Vindman and I was like, “Give me a break,” but the person who was praising Kelly immediately said, “because that’s where we are in America today, praising people for just not lying to our faces.”
And that’s where Mitt Romney is. We’re grateful that Mitt just didn’t gaslight us. Romney stood up and said, “Yes, what is obviously happening is really happening, I saw it too.”
Romney appears to be a person who thinks you really are supposed to do the right thing, but who engages in some extremely motivated reasoning about what the right thing is. Obviously people like that can be awful people and do horrible things, but just knowing that at some point they will hold themselves to some line is a bit of a comfort. People like Trump, McConnell and Barr are rare sorts. It’s too bad the US electoral system seems to select for them so heavily.
