Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

So yeah. I took a long coffee break with my PPC buddy, and while I was gone, the trial of the century ended, temporarily. (Note to self: Act II, 1 Mar-3 Nov 2020) I first perceived the verdict through the lenses of twitterverse retweets alternately! portraying Mitt Romney as an object "high character" < wipes tears > or  cold  opprobrium.< wipes tears > I'm thinking, wahthafu...so I hit USAToday.

I'm wondering, to hell wit dat. 52-48 (Art. I), 53-47 (Art. II). From under which floorboard did the 'new' acquittal votes come?! Shadow app?? < wipes tears > Rather than read USAToday's version, I'll read the Congressional Record tomorrow a.m. -- That way I can cue the senators' "statements" in their own words, in their entirety to the dismal deeds. woo boy howdy, that's got to be some rationale.

The roll calls are not balanced "along party lines", because a few senators split their votes by article. DOH. Be that a provocative symptom of political ambivalence as it may, any urgency to investigate the particulars escapes me.

The day will come, when senators do not convict a POTUS of all charges, perhaps 1/2 or 2/8. Then what? The twitterverse quantum explosion of rancorous senate rules versus norms "analyses" and recommended sentencing procedure.

Suppliants will rush the Chief Justice and fall to their knees. "What shall we do? Oh, how do you decide?" Then, and only then, will The Desk pull out one of Gödel's flaming incompleteness theorems from a voluminous sleeve. "The normal rule is that all the votes fail."
