Even McConnell Is Happy to See Trump Impeached
The president barely seems to notice that the fissures he’s opened are now swallowing him.

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did, what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption…
Yes, there were times
I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all
And I stood tall
And did it my way.
-- Frank Sinatra, “My Way”
Predictably, Donald Trump says he wasn’t responsible for inciting a deadly insurrection in Washington last week, deems his incendiary language there suitable for the setting, and isn’t worried about being removed from office. No regrets.
“We want no violence. Never violence,” he said on the White House lawn yesterday, memory-holing the myriad times he’s reveled in violence over the last five years. “And on the impeachment, it’s really a continuation of the greatest witch hunt in the history of politics. It’s ridiculous… I want no violence.”
