Unfortunately it's not really a "no win" situation. They'll endure a couple months of uncomfortable press stories associated with Trump, will probably acquit him, and either way will probably be favored to retake at least one chamber of Congress in 2022, especially after a new round of gerrymandering and voter suppression laws.

The economy will probably be in the shitter as well. Nevermind as a result of GOP policies and the Trump Administration. Bad economy never favors the current incumbents.

Flynn went berserk. The former three-star general, whom Trump had fired as his first national security after he was caught lying to the FBI (and later pardoned), stood up and turned from the Resolute Desk to face Herschmann.

"You're quitting! You're a quitter! You're not fighting!” he exploded at the senior adviser. Flynn then turned to the president, and implored: "Sir, we need fighters."

Herschmann ignored Flynn at first and continued to probe Powell's pitch with questions about the underlying evidence. "All you do is promise, but never deliver," he said to her sharply.

Flynn was ranting, seemingly infuriated about anyone challenging Powell, who had represented him in his recent legal battles.

Finally Herschmann had enough. "Why the fuck do you keep standing up and screaming at me?" he shot back at Flynn. "If you want to come over here, come over here. If not, sit your ass down." Flynn sat back down.

News at 11.

The Palm Beach town council spent close to seven hours on Tuesday considering issues important to the wealthy island community: the availability of the coronavirus vaccine.
...
Each agenda item provoked a litany of questions, comments and observations, except one: whether the former US president may continue living at his Mar-a-Lago club.

Though presumably the most contentious among residents and of the most interest nationally and internationally, the issue took up no more than a half-hour of the council’s time – at the meeting’s end.

The five-member council took no action on the question, which was placed on the agenda because of neighbors’ complaints that Trump’s presence would hurt property values.

It’s unclear if the council will address the issue further, although an attorney representing the residents asked – with no response – that he be allowed to give a fuller presentation in April. The neighbors could also sue the town and Mar-a-Lago.

The town attorney, Skip Randolph, said there was nothing in the club’s 1993 agreement with Palm Beach that prohibits Trump from residing there.
...
He and Trump’s attorney John Marion said the town permits clubs and resorts to provide onsite housing for their employees and Trump, as Mar-a-Lago’s president, fits the bill.

Now veterans of the place [Trump Hotel restaurant BLT Prime] are opening up about what it was really like behind the curtains of “America’s Living Room,” where right-wing operatives were treated like celebrities and political power determined the seating chart. If you weren’t in the business of Making America Great Again, well, sweetheart, you quickly learned to fake it. Working for the Trump hotel meant putting on a performance every night—right down to the gummy bears and popcorn.

Trump always had the same thing: shrimp cocktail, well-done steak

Well done steak? We don't need any more proof that the man is a monster.

I’m not 100% sure Trump’s trial will go his way in the Senate.

Chao and McConnell are scum. They will forever have the Trump taint, no matter how they try to revise history. Damage done, fuck them both.

The White House has returned paintings of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush to prominent locations in the Grand Foyer after Donald Trump hid them in a room used for storage.

More evidence she is a lowlife - she directed personnel to support her father's shipping company while Secretary of Transportation. The case was referred to the DOJ which declined to open an investigation. That's utterly pathetic.
