4. I'm thrilled about it.

What's sad are the fools who voted for him and put him into office. Or didn't vote or voted for Jill Stein.

5. What sad is the people who put him in office.

That includes people on the "left" who promoted third party runs or didn't support Clinton at all. That's what sad. That we knew how fucked up Trump was but still "elected" him.

Jane Sanders election day tweet. "How we voted not as important as that we voted. Head & heart at odds for many. Whatever result, we'll work toward a better future together."

6. I don't believe remedies are sad. I do believe the inherent disease is.

But I don't pretend the two are the same to pander to the self-righteous voting block.

7. Trump is only a symptom of the disease. n/t

8. No one has stated, implied or argued otherwise.

Regardless of the fluid and subjective nature of analogies.

10. Well if impeachment of any President isn't a sad day for democracy, why

Rep. Adam Schiff: 'I did not take any pleasure' in leading impeachment inquiry

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee who has been leading the investigation of the impeachment inquiry into Trump, said somberly that he “did not take any pleasure” in leading the process.

He defended his decisions to hold interviews in a private setting, saying that the “work has necessarily occurred behind closed doors because we have the task of finding the facts” despite efforts by several lawmakers and agencies, including the Justice Department “to obstruct.” He added that the resolution will lead the process into a more open chapter.

“This resolution sets the stage for the next phase of our investigation. One in which the American people will have the opportunity to hear from the witnesses first hand,” he said.
