His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

I, however,
Have such meagre power,

Clutching at a

While you control
An hour.

But your hour is
A stone.

My moment is
A flower.
