Natches didn’t blush his moral compass
Doesn’t function in reality very much
Moving like a tag team in the final
Seconds he and co-conspirators made their rush
It’s just a game
When you’re preoccupied
And the flame
Of burning fear’s inside you
When you think you’ve won consider damage
That’s been done to things much bigger than you
And how it hurt everyone
Winning is your singular preoccupation coloring
Each thing that you do and you say
This to the extent that jettisoned is all you learned
Back in your grammar school and from your mother

". . . It’s a country where many who felt powerless have a new champion, where much frustration has given way to excitement and where politics has become the greatest show on earth. Here men in combat helmets and military assault rifles now patrol the streets outside a golden residential tower in midtown Manhattan. And almost every day at about the same time they let pass a street performer who wears no pants, tight white underwear and cowboy boots, so he can sing a song in the lobby for the television cameras with Trump’s name written in red and blue on his butt. It’s an America of renewed hope and paralyzing fear, a country few expected less than a year ago. Because of Donald John Trump, whatever happens next, it will never be like it was before. . . "

". . . President Donald Trump mocked teen climate activist Greta Thunberg on Twitter Thursday after she was named Time magazine's Person of the Year, calling her win "ridiculous" and suggesting she take anger management classes. . ."So ridiculous," Trump tweeted. "Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!". . ."
[Senate Majority leader Mitch] McConnell declared: "Everything I do during this, I'm coordinating with the White House counsel. There will be no difference between the president's position and our position as to how to handle this to the extent that we can." . . . In an impeachment trial, the Senate essentially acts as the jury, while the chief justice of the United States is the presiding judge. So McConnell's comments are essentially the equivalent of having a courtroom trial at which the defendant is coordinating with the jury before the proceeding even begins.. . . According to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll, more than 7 in 10 Americans think top Trump administration officials, such as acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former national security adviser John Bolton, should be allowed to testify before Congress. That includes 64 percent of Republicans and 72 percent of independents. . . A bipartisan consensus like that is extremely rare. . ."

Two hands wrapped tightly
Round a perspiring glass
I see a little tear
That I hope won't last
I’m wishing that what appears
Will disappear fast
I should have stopped myself
From speaking my mind
But just like a children's toy
I had to unwind
Now look at the consequence
It wasn't the time
Hindsight's gold
So I'm told
But could not admit
Hindsight's gold
Truth as old
As the pyramids
Always the last to know
And always behind
Shoot from the hip react
Behavior all mine
I was raised to know better
But still I decline
The last thing I want to see
Is that tear on your face
The last thing I want to be
Is the villain whose case
I’ve assumed by default it seems
And lives in disgrace
Can an old dog learn
How to do something new
Many times been burned
Understand it but
Just can't follow throught
Some kind of malady
Or some kind of curse
Whichever's afflicting me
It can't get much worse
I can't be concerned much more
And I'm not the first
I’m sorry for what I've done
And what might still come
I’d like to just disappear
But where would I run
There's nothing to show for this
My lesson is done
