    As the panelists pointed out, at their convention the Democrats pretended that the first impeachment of Trump never happened. It’s likely that in a few months they will also drop the second impeachment down the memory hole.

    It was a symbolic act intended to distract the Left from the fact that the billionaire donor class is actually in the driver’s seat.

    The panelists argue that the Democrats got what they wanted, and Trump got what he wanted (no shade thrown on 2024); and that the losers were the pre-Trump establishment Republicans who hoped to turn back the clock.

    It was a small win for Trump supporters, too. Trump's defense videos were a compilation of the slights and daggers they endure every time a Democrat pol gets in front of a camera. Fighting back is what makes Trump the hero to his MAGA followers. That's the courage he asked the GOP for...and only a handful have. He exposed them as self-interested and weak. No wonder McConnell is so bitter.

    Mitch guaranteed that a LOT of old line GOP donors (since 1960) won't $end in $upport when it goes to such feckless Party members who decide that the plain meaning of words is irrelevant---words like 'SHALL' and 'IMPEACHMENT' and 'AND'...No more. Thanks Mitch---your Saturday afternoon exit is a goldmine of fundraising for the anti-GOP #NeverTumpers who get to elide The Orange Man and The Nazis...No thanks.

    Why has NO ONE commented on Pelosi all but directly accusing Trump of pre-meditated murder? Her fit of pique was really ugly.

    I can’t give to fundraising committees that might pass along funds to Liz Cheney. (Ricochet’s #1 Democrat mole boasts he is taking care of her.)

    However, there are alternatives, like Osama executioner Robert O’Neill’s SEAL PAC or the House Freedom Caucus.
