‘When someone shows you who they are, believe them,’ said the late, great Maya Angelou.
The Washington Post’s Congress reporter and CNN political analyst Rachael Bade certainly showed us who she was with her social media post celebrating President Trump’s impeachment yesterday.
‘Merry Impeachmas from the WAPO team!’ she exclaimed excitedly, alongside a beaming photo of herself partying in a Washington restaurant with a group of co-workers, most of whom are also CNN analysts.
After an immediate deluge of criticism for this startlingly partisan tweet, Bade deleted her tweet and explained it was ‘being misinterpreted by some as an endorsement of some kind..’
No sh*t, Sherlock.
Of course, all it did was confirm what has been self-evident since the day Trump won the 2016 Election: most of America’s mainstream hates him and is absolutely thrilled to see him impeached.
So, of course, are the Democrats, which was obvious when they exploded into raucous cheering in the House of Representatives as their leader Nancy Pelosi solemnly announced Trump’s fate - before she frantically silenced them like a crazed kindergarten teacher.
Pelosi herself was dressed in funereal black and bore a face of unrelenting gravity – with a slash of blood-red lipstick.
As she keeps reminding us, this impeachment brings her no pleasure whatsoever, and she is praying regularly for Donald at this difficult time.
Oh pur-lease…. spare me this pious, disingenuous nonsense.
The truth is that she and her party have been plotting this since Trump set foot in the White House.
They couldn’t beat him at the ballot box in 2016 and fear they won’t be able to beat him at the ballot box in 2020.
So, they’ve concluded impeachment may be their only route to stop him.
Yet as I have repeatedly said, it is an act of extraordinary stupidity and self-harm.
And never was this more apparent than in the moment of its happening.
Yesterday was one of the most pointless, farcical days in the history of America’s Congress.
For hour after tortuous hour, the representatives of the world’s greatest superpower filed up to have their moment in the sun.
Or rather, in the glare of TV cameras.
They raged, they sighed, they rolled their eyes, they wiped away fake tears, they invoked every great American historical figure they could think of, they told their personal stories of family courage… and so they banged on, sucking the very life out of the holiday season with every indignant self-aggrandizing breath.
But what did any of it achieve?
The Democrats were always going to win this impeachment vote because they control the House.
All their members ranted against Trump and the Republicans - and all the Republicans ranted in support of him and against the Democrats.
Unlike Bill Clinton’s impeachment, there was no deviation from party ranks.
This was a 100% partisan pleasure-dome, though the only people deriving any actual pleasure from the unedifying spectacle were the politicians lapping up TV exposure to tens of millions of Americans like ravenous parched camels arriving at an oasis after weeks of traipsing across the Sahara Desert.
