Always eager to innovate, Cheez Doodle has invented the Office of the Former President, a position that none of the 44 real presidents before him believed was necessary. Now I wonder if Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Bush 43, and Barack Obama will ask themselves why they didn't think of that. I suppose it's the sort of self-indulgence that can only be enjoyed by the one individual who lost the popular vote in consecutive elections and was impeached twice in his single term.
What a flaming asshole.
Update 11:05 AM Tuesday: My current understanding is that conviction in the Senate on an article of impeachment requires the vote of two-thirds of the members present. If that's correct, it seems like the simplest solution would be for at least 25 of the (R) members to boycott the trial. The fifty (D) members could then vote to convict Cheezy, and vote again to prohibit him from holding office in the future. The (D)s would be happy, and the (R)s wouldn't be required to vote against him. Everybody wins.
Evidently, the video evidence is bad news for Cheezy and his enablers. I hope every second of it is shown on national TV, so Americans can clearly understand why those (R) senators are desperately trying to prevent the trial from happening. It has nothing to do with the Constitution.
