Donald Trump proved himself unfit for Presidency, within minutes of Senators being sworn in...

...as jurors.

He was immediately on TV calling them a "hoax". He had interrupted other Democratic Senators on television and drew the cameras away from them and upon himself.

As soon as the Democrats had finished their small presser, he was ready to stop his presser, also.

He is a master media manipulator, if nothing else.

However, it harkened back to the day after Mueller had finished his report to Congress, and Trump could not resist calling the Ukrainian leader and attempting to extort him into giving a press announcement about starting an investigation on the Bidens.

No sooner than the jury had been chosen for his trial in the Senate, he was back on television yelling "Hoax!" "Hoax!"

It truly shows how unfit he is for the office he now holds.

helps him do this by immediately turning to him. Let him wait, most of us don't want to hear from him anyway and would prefer to hear others.

He is unfit for every role he tries to play.

Husband, father, businessman, golf partner, and probably many other roles he tries, and fails, to fill.

voted for Democrats and he'll either declare a national emergency to say the election was invalid or implement martial law.

He's not going to leave office. He ignores norms and convention at all times, including the law.

We are using the law, the legal code, the government. We have the smartest Speaker in many decades. We've impeached him. Are we on a path to win? We are blocked. It's an exercise in futility. Republicans will acquit then spend the rest of the year attacking Democrats. By election day it will be a horse race, if a crooked one.

Do we need a male attack dog on the campaign trail? What will awaken the people?

What would Winston Churchill do? It's a rhetorical question, to ask, so to speak ... what will change the outcome of this spaceship?
