Living Liberally - Drinking Liberally


The Republic Can, Republicans Can't

Posted: 21 Nov 2019 10:59 AM PST

Impeachment hearings are a daily feast
of explosive & conclusive testimony,
as Congress plays its Constitutional role
... and Republicans play juvenile games
of distraction, dismissiveness & denial.

From the noble Masha Yovaoavitch
to the ernest Alexander Vindman
to the smarmy Gordon Sondland,
witnesses face Trump's twitter wrath
for telling tales our nation needs to hear.

In Congress & on the debate stage,
Democrats assert nobody's above the law.
From hearings to Fox to the White House,
GOP prove all of them are beneath contempt.

Impeachment & elections offer a sign
our Republic can work to right wrongs.
But Republicans are Republican'ts—
they can't hold Trump accountable
and can't defend the Constitution.

Let's prove that the Republic can,
even when Republicans can't.

Hearings! Debates! You need a drink!
And the company of kindred spirits
at your local progressive social club.
