11. Good question.

There HAVE TO be consequences for this shit. If this happens and there’s no price to pay, then it’ll keep on happening.

If there’s any doubt, look at trump. That impeachment is probably the first time he’s faced an ACTUAL penalty for his shit. And this one will stick to him like tar and duct tape for all of history. In every history book, wiki or other online reference source, EVERYTHING. From now on. And all the spinning and dancing and waffling and lying and baloney-spewing and bullshitting and distracting and deflecting and “what-about’ing” and other assorted excuse-making and water-muddying will NOT change that. It’s a FACT. And that’s what it will ALWAYS be. It’s the kind of fact from the REAL reality world outside the Pox Noise/trump/GOP bubble-world.

This is no “wish sandwich” - as the Blues Brothers would say - where you have two pieces of bread and you wish you had some meat. The republi-CON version of that is: you think (or “believe”) if you just keep calling it that, something will somehow magically appear between those bread slices to transform it into a legitimate sandwich.
