The American tradition of impeachment is, admittedly, not quite as
old as its equally venerable tradition of giving away command of one of
the world's most powerful country as a first place prize in a popularity
contest. In other words, it has been something the Republican party has
had to contend with for a sizeable fraction of its existence.
So it should come as something of a surprise that Mitch McConnell was unsure if Trump would have time to review the case. It is even more surprising when you consider that Trump had to have his presidential briefs converted into picture books through the judicious use of staplers in order to get him to read them.
Meanwhile, McConnell sent Democrats flying in confusion as they struggled to get their heads around being in concurrence with Mitch McConnell as he declared Trump had incited the violence at the Capitol. They were quickly consoled as McConnell attempted to declare the impeachment unconstitutional. Crisis averted: there were still enough mistakes being made to guarantee the Democrats another term.
It is, perhaps, worth noting that this is America's second impeachment against Trump, making Trump the first president to be impeached twice. Maybe Trump will add that world record to his CV.
With the aforementioned motion to declare the impeachment unconstitutional narrowly failing with a 55-45 split, however, it is becoming more and more unlikely that the impeachment will be successful. But, with Trump-Deutschebank relations rapidly deteriorating and Florida state able to sue Trump if he stays at Mar-a-lago for over 3 weeks, it seems there will be no shortage of entertainment as Trump faces court case after court case over the coming months.
Meanwhile, on the opposite end of the spectrum, Biden has spent the better part of his presidency so far signing executive orders to reverse the effects of the executive orders signed by Trump (Oh! The irony!). It would have been interesting to read the drafts for those executive orders: from 'stop preventing Africans from getting contraception', to 'cancel that part about burning down the Capitolstag'.
For the duration of Trump's many legal cases, however, we can laugh at his troubled relationship with his lawyers. After splitting up with, and refusing to pay, Giuliani, he has also managed to enrage those lawyers willing to disgrace themselves by representing his at his impeachment trial.
It has been officially denied that the aforementioned collapse of Trump-lawyer relations was due to his repeated attempts to put his denial of the election result at the centre of his case. This, of course, means that it probably was due to his repeated attempts to put his denial of the election result at the centre of his case.
