Overwhelmed

It may well be a week that was. 

For a while there, we have assumed that the impeachment process would just roll along just like any ordinary search for the usual platitude-laden legal skirmish so often done in ordinary courts of law. 

It wasn’t from where we sat. 

Given the extraordinary process of ferreting out the truth, we may have been treated to a spectacle so distant from the usual inquiries of this nature. 

Yet, when the first salvoes were flung, the court hearing rung all around, the rigor of arguments and counter-arguments was so palpable across the sacrosanct hall. 

It was actually just the first three days of what have been scintillatingly billed as the precursor of what’s ahead. 

And yet, the verbal exchange gave us - an entire nation regaled while reviling - a preview of the fireworks lasting beyond their lifetime. 

Here were 3 days , all of which passed us in enduring astonishment that an impeachment inquiry could keep us glued to our seat. 

If that didn’t, how else can we be whetted any further? 

How much more can a national interest be kept locked in? 

Truly, keeping us stuck to our seats, all senses raised up while watching, is a rigorous process to keep things in check. Regardless how anyone is prepositioned to nourish well expectations held steadfast to strongly held biases or partisan leanings difficult to hold close to chest. 

For now, it’s prudent to mind less the procedural need of having to endure the interminably lengthy phase of establishing premises required. 

Why not just set aside spot-on objections that are a dime a dozen. 

All that verbal skirmish is par for the course, regardless how excruciating the exchange has been. 

Verily, this has been by and large a week of overwhelming import, given the inestimable significance of a process laid out for us, not just in bits and pieces, but unravelled to their logical end. 

Indeed, the week has been another tumultuous period indicating how exacerbating the upcoming hearings looming life-like just ahead. 

We must be living in a very interesting time, to say the least. Consider that at a time when crisis after crisis are piling up, there seems to be gathering storms ahead, cutting through from the political to the economic. 

Invariably, at this very time, the push is gaining momentum, more than what all the shoving is all about. 

What would anyone prefer to have - an elephant in the room or a thousand rats running wild?
