The big story this week is the acquittal of President Trump in the Senate of the Impeachment charges sent by the House. Well, that is one of the big stories. There was also the State of the Union address. And that happened after the new NAFTA was signed and that whole Israeli Peace Proposal thing. Oh, and some people who worked in the White House were reassigned to other duties after testifying to the House Impeachment committees. The Kansas City Chiefs won the superbowl for the first time in fifty years, and people across the world found out that there is a Kansas City in Missouri, in addition to the far more famous Kansas City, Kansas. And some Hollywood types gave out some awards about movies or something last night. Other than that, it’s actually been a fairly quiet week outside the Impeachment drama.

Nah. Who am I kidding? It’s been a screaming loud week. From watching the party that wants to run all of our healthcare choices totally fail at counting votes to watching Pelosi shake her head at controversial statements like all people being equal. And then there is watching Democrat ladies stand up in the middle of the State of the Union to shout at the President after he called for a bipartisan bill to reduce drug prescription prices. And of course there is Handshake Gate and Speechripper Gate. I remember when a single congressman shouted “You lie” at the President and it was front page news. Bipartisan criticism hit him and his own party rescinded his committee assignment if I remember correctly. The lack of outrage now is palpable.

It’s been an interesting week, and I can’t help but look at the coming week and think that maybe I should buckle up. Because baby, if rhetoric is anything to go by, the crazies don’t plan on getting any less crazy this week…
