Isolation Diary: My FB tonight contains not one post about the 2nd impeachment of D. Trump. (Until now) I watched Nancy Pelosi announce the results of the voting and there was no visible or audible reaction from those present that I could see. Is this because this impeachment simply had to happen? Just a natural and normal consequence of betraying the congress and the country? And we all knew it would happen so no reason to stress. The interesting part will be the Senate trial. I am reminding myself that this is all actually happening, this is not a show on TV. It’s just that almost everything and almost everybody I see is on a computer or a TV. And I am safe (and isolated) in my house. I am grateful for those who have put themselves in the line of fire, so to speak. (except maybe for real.)

I think there is a lot to talk about with this proceeding and what led up to it. I am saddened it had to happen.Ruth Silveira
Bruce Y. There is an enormous pile of stuff to talk about, think about, analyze, ponder, meditate on. What I have been reminded of lately while listening to the podcast ‘Why is This Happening’ with guest Ta Nehisi Coates, this autocratic, violence prone, white dominated limb of the American tree has always been with us. Sometimes more dominate, sometimes more subdued.Bruce Y.
It is not good that you are up and writing stuff at 3:34 AMRuth Silveira
Bruce Y. Not 3:34 am where I am. I will be fast asleep at 3:30.Mandi M.H.
I found this interesting as well. I think we’re all just fucking exhausted and over it. This impeachment isn’t the cackling party they make it out to be.Ruth Silveira
It’s not a party, you are right, Mandi. No joy that we have had a President worthy of 2 impeachments. At least.Bruce Y.
ok, must have been my time, which is 3 hours ahead. Hope you are not up the late doing your musing and worrying .Laura E.F.
I feel so extra isolated by this set of actions.. feel indeed that the world now fits in a small screen.Ruth Silveira
Laura E.F. Right, it is an extra layer.
