Here is an idea. The senate decides to let the defense go first and Republicans spend a week or two explaining what a farce this whole thing is. Then, just as the Democrats are to make their feeble case (again) Trump resigns handing the government over to Pence. He would say it is for the good of the country to stop this corrosive partisan warfare. The Democrats will be flummoxed and not sure what happened. Trump would appear gracious, magnanimous; “the bigger man” who stoops to conquer. Then Trump can spend the next nine months campaigning freed from the burden of governing. He is a better campaigner even than he is a president and I think he has done quite well as president. I was horrified four years ago as he systematically picked off the best and brightest the Republicans had. This would be a bit different. He can pick whoever he wants to run against in November. “I am so glad Harris dropped out. I was worried.” And she is back in. “I admire and respect Mayor Pete.” And all his support dries up over night. Next January, Pence returns to vice-president and Trump is back. It is like wackamole. They think they got him and he just disappears only to pop up again in November. Or maybe a tag team match is better. “Get in there Mike and then tag me back in next year!”

Not a bad play;
I’ve been envisioning a replay of
Nixon-Agnew-Rockefeller-Ford,
except with SteveBannon and TuckerCarson playing the parts of unelected Prez and Veep.
We don’t need more politicians, we need a Philosopher and Vice-Philosopher.

LATE LIGHT by Klahn
Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
