Till the fat lady sings, guys

I'm happy, yes, and hopeful. But I wonder how deeply the DOJ is in Trump's pocket, and if they'll let his threatened lawsuits go through up to the Supreme Court, and how power-hungry his appointees there are, and how long they'll tie things up. You'd think 290 votes would be unarguable, but Trump is not known for his grasp on reality.

What I really want to see is his venal erstwhile cronies scrambling to get away from any association with him before the *other* lawsuits start happening, but I don't trust they will. Moscow Mitch has never shown any regard for  accepted procedure; why would he change now?

IDK. You'd hope that some of his cronies would see the writing on the wall, realize that they don't need to pay back their debts any more than he's ever paid back any of his and that, in fact, he only drags him down - and let him hang.

From your lips to God's ear. But I'm afraid it'll be more them hanging together to avoid hanging separately.
