QOTD -- Profiles In Cowardice


"There are not 20 Republican senators with the courage and integrity to protect the constitution and the nation from the most dangerous and demagogic president in history. Led by Mitch McConnell, they are engaged in a concerted cover-up of some of the most outrageous conduct ever committed by high-level government officials. Even so-called moderates like Susan Collins and Mitt Romney cannot be relied on to grow a spine and conduct a fair trial." --  former Labor Secretary Robert Reich on why the Senate won't convict Trump, part of his "Trump Impeachment Trial: What You Need to Know," in The Guardian.  Not only are there not 20 Republican Senators lacking courage and integrity, there isn't a single one.  Not a single tribalistic, self- serving one.
