I’ve often wondered why there were only two articles, and fairly squishy subjective ones at that. What President hasn’t been accused of abusing his power or obstructing Congress?

If his enemies truly believed some of their own claims of treason, corruption or worse, why not take the time to secure enough evidence to indict him for that? Why demand a degree of thoroughness and impartiality from the Senate that the House did not demonstrate? And then why decide to delay such an urgent matter? Did it take that long to order Nancy Pelosi’s commemorative pens?

This whole thing smacks of bad theater to me. I’m guessing that if Trump manages to win re-election we will see a sequel. That is, if the Democrats retain control of the House. I hear AOC is working to “primary” some of the more moderate members, so we may see a more serious effort next time.
