The Ideas of March

Hmmmm…peachment

March 15, 2019

I admit to being a bit peeved when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters, “I’m not for impeachment unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country.  And he’s just not worth it.”

Divides the country?  There are certainly reasons to demur on the idea of impeachment – at this particular moment in time – but dividing the country?  Don’t you think it’s a bit late to worry about that?  The country was arguably less divided in 1860. 

Having spent one of my formative years glued to the Watergate hearings and subsequent departure of the vile, corrupt Richard “Yes He Was So A Crook” Nixon under threat of imminent impeachment, the Constitutional remedy for removing such virulent toxins from our political system has always held a special place in my heart.

I’ve still got it…the shirt, that is

Pelosi is uniquely qualified, and has proven more than a match for the Toxic Orange Gas Cloud Chrump (It is rumored that Chrump wears an adult diaper whenever he has to be in a room with Pelosi.), so I will suspend judgment for now on the wisdom of putting the spotlight on her impeachment stance for now.  I suppose the fact that Mitch McConnell – the Old-Age Mutant Fascist Turtle – will never allow his Party-Über-Alles Republican’t minions in the Senate to complete the impeachment process, makes the point fairly moot.

Nixon was able to hold onto power (though not his mind) for as long as he did because it was not until Republican’ts believed that their own jobs were imperiled by the albatross they previously nurtured and fattened up, that they determined they were getting fucked by their own Dick.  And that has got to hurt.  As continues to this day, Republican’ts did not give a shit about the country they “served,” only their own asses.

In the awful chance that El Chrumpo finds enough single-digit IQ voters (Remember, he loves the poorly educated.) to ooze him into a second term, it would be good to have some fresh impeachment cobbler ready to squish into his nauseatingly-dyed kisser.

At least Pelosi left the door open for “something so compelling and overwhelming” that might dictate a change in sentiment.  She is going to need a bigger door.

I am still hoping that Chrump will end up impeaching himself with his own petard.  He seems intent on destroying himself.  If only those who love him would get out of his way.
