Paradise Lost

Paradise Lost is beautifully written, a literary treasure, but is only ever interesting when Satan is on scene. The rest is smug condescension and cringing servility.

Impeachment

Am I the only one who thinks both Clinton and Trump deserve impeachment? During the Clinton impeachment, I argued that no one should be above the law and that character mattered. He abused his power by having a sexual relationship with a subordinate, and even worse, obstructed the investigation and perjured himself to a grand jury and to us, the American people. Now I find myself making the same argument about Trump. He has abused his power in many ways, in one case by attempting to bribe a foreign power to interfere in an American election for his own benefit. He has obstructed the investigation (e.g. by directing his subordinates to defy subpoenas) and continually perjures himself to the American people. I doubt Trump will be removed from office, but it is Congress duty to at least impeach him.
