When I was a kid I found a scrap of paper in the parking lot of my elementary school. Someone had written “Every Trial Can Be Burned Into The Fight!” on it. I carried it around in a wallet until it fell apart. Then I wrote it myself and carried that one until it fell apart. I still do this.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
