From the Washington Post: Some gifts I would like to give Trump, Republicans and others
By JENNIFER RUBIN
As we head into the week of Christmas and Hanukkah, I have my holiday gift list ready to go:
For Republican House members: A mirror, so they can see how terrible they look with their faces contorted with anger mid-scream as they rant and rave on the House floor. Perhaps they will consider how unprofessional and mean-spirited they appear.
For Senate Republicans: A copy of “Profiles in Courage” by John F. Kennedy. Boy, could self-identified moderate Republicans (and all those with an appreciation for their oaths as jurors in an impeachment trial) use some inspiration as they consider whether they want to conduct a fair, robust trial. Do they really want to participate in a sham that will set themselves up for condemnation and ridicule when, eventually, the full story of President Trump’s extortion comes out (for example, when John Bolton publishes his tell-all book)? Doing the right thing in this instance would actually be an act of political self-protection.
