I guess this makes sense
I've paid zero attention to the "impeachment" stageplay.
After listening briefly to some "news", this is what seems to be happening:
Party D is colluding with Ukrainian officials to dig up dirt on party R, in order to prosecute party R for colluding with Ukrainian officials to dig up dirt on party D.
I guess this makes sense. It's like robbing a bank to get evidence that a robber robbed the bank, EXCEPT that there's nothing illegal or unusual about digging up dirt on political opponents. All politicians do it all the time, so there's no self-defense justification for acquiring evidence on acquiring evidence on acquiring evidence on acq
Question: Why do we pay politicians trillions of dollars? If they did something else as a day job, this convoluted theater of the absurd would just be a weird hobby like cosplay. But they don't do anything else. This is their day job.
