It has been written that the Roman emperor Caligula held the Senate in such low regard that he was considering appointing one of his horses, Incitatus, to it. He may have been on to something.
The Republicans in the Senate, in a brazen act of hypocrisy and political cowardice, let Donald Trump escape any political punishment for his actions/inactions on Jan. 6, while the minority leader admitted Trumpâs guilt.
Our senators have condemned America to the cancer of Trumpism and QAnon for years. In the process they have thoroughly weakened the Constitution (If you canât impeach a president for insurrection, what can you impeach for?). They have approved the âJanuary exception.â All the while hiding behind the fig leaf that they had no jurisdiction when the Senate had already voted that they had. Disgraceful. I am done with looking upon senators with high regard in general and the Republican Party in particular.
