My husband who doesn’t pay much attention to any of this was watching Jeffries the other night and said “WOW, that guy is formidable.” He’s right, IMO.

Democratic heros and stars are being created as one positive offshoot of this impeachment. Jefferies, especially, has future contender written all over him.

Meanwhile a huge number of Republicans are busy forging a shameful legacy for themselves that will literally dog them to their graves.
