• Stop and think about it: In just about 15 hours, Donald Trump will be out of the president s office (hopefully and rightfully) forever. It s been a horrific four years of corruption and cruelty, but it also exposed how easily our democracy can be taken away and it came pretty damn close. Now our challenge will be taking what we ve learned about ourselves resiliency as well as ugliness and build a country that recognizes our successes and crimes, and doesn t just play pretend at democracy, but actually works at it. Now, let s read some news.

• Justice is served. AGAIN! Donald Trump has been impeached for an embarrassing and historic second time for the traitorous crime of incitement of insurrection in which he encouraged his simpleton followers to storm the nation s Capitol which led to the deaths of five, including one police officer. Even better, along with 222 Democrats, 10 Republicans (not heroes, just buttholes who happened to do a single, decent thing) voted in favor of impeachment, which may not sound like a lot but it s a clear signal that the GOP s lockstep with Trump is definitely stumbling.

Just on @MSNBC: During a briefing on security threats, House Democrats were reminded that the purchase of a bulletproof vest is a reimbursable expense.
• NBC News is reporting that 50 armed DHS officers were just standing around with their thumbs tucked inside their butts, as violent domestic terrorists swept through the Capitol. Apparently they were waiting for deployment orders that never came. (LOOKS HARD AT DEPARTED DHS CHIEF CHAD CHODE WOLF.)
• Meanwhile US prosecutors are PISSED about the failed coup and are vowing to make hundreds of arrests that will not be limited to Trump s rioting gang of simpletons (which we trust will also include simpletons such as Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley).

GOOD MORNING, PORTLAND! Chill out, what ya yellin for? Lay back, it s all been done before. LET S GO TO PRESS.
• Why, good morning, déjà vu! The loser who just can t stop losing, Donald Trump, is set to lose again today as the House tees up to impeach him for a humiliating second time. However, what s different about this go-around is that there s the faintest whisper of a possibility he may be convicted by the Senate. The impeachment debate kicked off today after the House formally asked mewling mama s boy Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment, to which he promptly replied, Mew! Mew! Me am afwaid of Twump, so me say NO!
