What if Mitch had said “yes?” [1]

Every once in awhile I let this thought burrow through my brain. It used to drive me almost insane. Now it’s just an exercise in futility.

What if Mitch had said “yes?”

What if he decided to say yes to his minions and had them vote to convict tRump in the second impeachment trial?

Think about it. The past three years would have been monumentally less chaotic than the nightmare we’ve been living through. Tell me if it’s true that he could not ever run again for president.



Gotta believe Mitch’s world would have been calmer for his old age, not to mention less troubling for his political success (or not). He personally has put himself in the dumpster of political he’ll. He’s been residing there since 2020. Seems all this may have had a negative impact on his health.

What to do, what to do, Mitch?

His republicans are in such a quagmire. Can’t live with tRump, can’t live without him. Mitch has cost the republicans huge losses in the last three elections. He had made us all live through unconscionable chaos and drama for the last three years. He has brought us to the brink of losing our democracy. He has ensured that his legacy will always be fraught with “what would have happened?” if he’d just said “yes.”

So here we are, Mitch, thanks to your shameless decision to enable a man you despise. Fighting for our democratic lives.

But there is a silver lining. As tRump slithers into courtroom after courtroom I will take refuge in the fact that his days going forward will be fraught with aggravation, anger, fear, loathing and health issues. I’m not sure he’ll ever end up in jail. But he will spend the next several years, endlessly in court, slowly falling apart.

And I will revel in watching his slow, agonizing disintegration into madness as he is finally paying for his crimes.
