Good Day World!
Trump and minions were touting the robust economy yesterday, while pretending his impeachment wasn't hovering over the White House.
Trump refused to send his legal council to the House impeachment proceedings at the deadline yesterday in an act of childish defiance that can be likened to cutting one's nose off to spite their face.

On the face the two issues have nothing in common.
One is about our economy, and the other is about a rogue president who worked with the Russians to get elected in 2016, and is still doing Putin's bidding today.
Traditionally, a good economy would carry a lot of weight for an incumbent president. But Trump's presidency is anything but traditional. All norms have been shattered.
GOP lawmakers have been following Trump like helpless zombies, creating the biggest swamp in presidential history. They managed to make the House impeachment hearings a circus at times to cloud Trump's crimes.
Political pundits say that when the Senate gets the articles of impeachment, senate majority leader Mitch McConnell will try to avoid having a circus at all cost. I'll believe that when I see it.
Despite publicly admitting Republican senators are not going to vote against Trump, Moscow Mitch is going to try to put up a façade of fairness, according to some experts on the subject.
To me the answer is clear, a good economy is hardly an excuse to enable the corruption that's thrived under Trump's regime to continue.
