Today’s date is a rare eight-digit palindrome (reads the same, forward and backward), 02/02/2020 — the only one of its kind this century: The previous eight-digit palindrome like this was 11/11/1111, 909 years ago. We’ll only have to wait another 101 years for 12/12/2121.

@EJDionne is right: The Senate’s 51-49 “see no evil” vote is all about the GOP Cult of Trump, not about permanent presidential supremacy. No Democratic president could get away with lawlessness like Trump’s. Nor would one want to. Total asymmetry.https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-trump-51-and-their-challenge-to-democrats--and-democracy/2020/02/02/489ba60a-4602-11ea-bc78-8a18f7afcee7_story.html …Thanks.

It’s not just “poisoned.” It’s poison — capable of killing the democratic body politic and replacing it with an ugly authoritarianism. Here’s why:https://www.nationalmemo.com/dershowitzs-poisoned-defense/ …

“No American president before Trump would have dared to collaborate openly with foreign countries for partisan advantage. Trump has done so repeatedly, starting in the summer of 2016 with Russia and then with China, Ukraine and perhaps unknown others.”https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/02/opinion/trump-impeachment-trial.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share …

Paul Stookey (from Peter Paul and Mary) emailed a friend of mine months ago his amazing version of America the Beautiful (written 1895) with two inspiring new verses he wrote in September 2015 so relevant todayhttps://youtu.be/8V4w6EpSKo8

DO NOT SUCCUMB TO TRIUMPHANT TRUMP SYNDROME! Defeatism can be self-fulfilling. We have to get off our asses and work tirelessly to wipe him and his enablers off the electoral map this November

“Dems are warning Republicans they will be judged harshly by history. But in the meantime, the triumphant Republicans get to make history. ... the endless, futile wars, the obliviousness to climate change, the stamp on the judiciary.”https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/01/opinion/sunday/trump-impeachment-trial-witnesses.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share …

@Lawrence O’Donnell notes the 49 Senators who lost the vote on impeachment witnesses represent 19 million more people than the 51 Senators who won. And neocon@BillKristol — of all people — says “for the time being ... We are all Democrats now.” This time the GOP went too far!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

@AlanDersh’s clarification” = BS. Saying “a president ... seeking re-election ...is not above the law. He cannot commit crimes. He cannot commit impeachable conduct” begs the question: what conduct apart from “crimes” is impeachable if not what Trump did?https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/legal-issues/a-president-is-not-above-the-law-trump-lawyer-asserts-in-batting-back-criticism-of-his-impeachment-defense/2020/01/30/7b9b06ce-438f-11ea-b5fc-eefa848cde99_story.html …Thanks.

The travesty
@Milbank describes here was abetted by GOP Senators’ refusal to permit the press to show them violating even the rules of attendance.

“Rarely, if ever, has a political blood oath—in this case, a pledge to acquit a crooked President regardless of the evidence against him, and without even bothering to call any witnesses—rebounded so horribly, publicly, and spectacularly.”https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/john-boltons-book-is-making-fools-of-trumps-republican-enablers …

Senator “Murkowski has it partly right. But it’s not Congress as an institution that has failed; it’s Senate Republicans.

The “combination of jaw-dropping audacity and constitutional illiteracy now leaves a toxic residue: the impeachment clause neutered and the country in dangerous constitutional territory.”https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/our-president-is-unchecked-and-our-system-is-unbalanced/2020/01/31/575ecacc-4473-11ea-aa6a-083d01b3ed18_story.html …

@glennkirschner2 just asked a great question: Why call the thing we’ve been watching an impeachment “trial” when it wasn’t a trial at all? A bunch of statements by politicians on one side and conflicted lawyers on the other, with no evidence at all, is a “trial” in name only.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better.

Terrific piece — but I want to change “will reshape” to “would reshape.” We all have a duty to do everything we can to keep this constitutional madness from taking hold. Don’t let it become a self-fulfilling prophecy!https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/01/trump-lawyers-impeachment-defense-reshape-presidency-constitution.html …
