We already know the ending

Sat., Feb. 1, 2020

We are glued to the TV following the Senate impeachment trial of President Trump, while being certain of the trial’s outcome. It’s like going to a movie of a book we have read or viewing the movie a second time.

The documents and testimony would appear to create a Pandora’s box of unethical behavior and corruption. This could damage individuals certainly, but also it could produce a loss of faith in the Republican Party itself. Few of us want others to know we got into Mom’s purse when we were kids.

So this will pass and the coming election will reflect on the kind of country we want.
