The current impeachment inquiry of Our Current President (“OCP”) is important, necessary, and the right thing to do.
But it will not result in his removal from office. OCP has a long, long history of worming his way out of, or making people forget, every charge and accusation ever brought against him. His loyal base and trembling hangers-on will stay with him no matter what, even should he “stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody.” What makes anyone think they will abandon him over a quid pro quo regarding Ukraine and the Bidens?
Meanwhile, Australia burns, Venice drowns, deserts expand, storms get increasingly destructive, etc. Our United States of America willingly gives up its leadership role in the world, turning the planet over to narcissistic dictators and despots. Earth mourns.
If in 2119 humanity is still around to remember history, this impeachment process will be but a blip on its radar, no matter how it comes out. But Earth’s forever-altered climate, which our elected leaders have decided is not worth protecting, will be the main story from the 21st century— unless we have fought ourselves to death first because those same leaders valued conflict over cooperation.
