Still trying to wrap my head around the fact that the American president just wanted to personally rock up to the doors of Congress with an armed mob.

Trump certainly seems to be taking today’s testimony in stride.

The silence was deafening

I think even those talking heads were dumbfounded

I do wonder if he is going to get so very mad that he ignores all his lawyers advice and does give testimony.

Teump just the type of person to think that he could lie under oath and he’d get away with it - he might not even think he was lying.

It should perhaps be pointed out here that Hamilton was talking absolute, grade-A wham when he wrote that. The following post-conquest English or British monarchs were deposed (as in removed rather than defeated and killed on the battlefield):

Edward II (relatively peacefully)
Richard II (relatively peacefully)
Henry VI (twice, though with considerable violence both times)
Jane
Charles I (after a trial, albeit with considerable violence beforehand)
James II (peacefully here but with violence in Ireland)
Edward VIII

There is rather more evidence that our system for removing terrible heads of state works better than this impeachment nonsense; even the convoluted means by which popes are deposed has actually managed to depose them.

They will still toe the Trump line though, spineless cowards

Off topic but always felt extremely sorry for Jane Grey, from the limited amounts I read her parents sounded awful.

Was Edward II the one with the redhot poker?
