      It’s a trick that Republicans can only use once, because if it succeeds they’ll have tainted the idea of impeachment for a generation. They don’t care because they’re playing for all the marbles, trying to permanently cement one-party rule. Shit like this is one of the reasons why I call them the American Taliban without a trace of irony.
