Let a Smile Be Your Umbrella and Don't Get a Mouthful of Rain

July 27, 2019

Remember the 2018 midterm elections?  Remember how we were hoping for a Blue Wave and we were so disappointed on election night because it looked like things did not go nearly as well as we wanted?  Remember how as time passed and the full scope of the beating put on the Republican’ts in the House eventually looked like a Blue Tsunami?  Well, do ya?  Hold onto that thought for a moment.

As you mull over the Mueller testimony, you might be thinking, “That Mueller guy, he didn’t look so hot and he did not seem to say very much.  I was hoping for so much more.”  On the other hand, if you are a Fux News watcher, you are probably thinking, “What Mueller testimony?  You mean the one where he totally exonerated the no collusion of Donald Chrump?”

As Mueller himself shrinks in the rear-view mirror, in his wake there seems to be a bit of a tingling sensation.  That uncomfortable itching, burning and occasional bleeding that started four years ago and just won’t go away, can be cured.

Mueller said enough to cause possibly 10 Democratic members of Congress to finally buy their tickets for the Impeachment Train.  House Judiciary chairman Jerrold Nadler announced yesterday that articles of impeachment are under consideration.  This means that Pelosi is inquiring as to the location of the ticket window at the very least.  Who knows, she might already have her ticket just in case – Pelosi is one of the wealthiest members of Congress, she can afford to throw away a few bucks if she decides ultimately not to ride.  Three Republican’ts have bailed on re-election bids already.  The NAACP voted to impeach Chrump last week. 

Our political GPS has rerouted us around Nancy Pelosi’s (perhaps well-intentioned) road block to impeachment.  Mueller went out of his way not to say the “I” word out loud.  Recall the following exchange with Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX):

Escobar: At your May 29, 2019 press conference, you explained t that, “The Constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoing.”  That process other than the criminal justice system, for accusing a president of wrongdoing, is that impeachment?

Mueller: I’m not going to comment on that. 

Escobar (after flashing a wry smile): In your report you also wrote that you did not want to “potentially pre-empt Constitutional processes for addressing presidential misconduct.”  For the non-lawyers in the room, what did you mean by “potentially pre-empt Constitutional processes?”

Mueller: I’m not going to try to explain that. 

Escobar (after another wry smile): What are those Constitutional processes?

Mueller: I think I heard you mention at least one.

Escobar: Impeachment, correct?

Mueller: I’m not going to comment. 

Send a tube to your representative

Impeachment seems inescapable at this point.  Mueller clearly does not believe Chrump is innocent, and he probably, after 22 months of wading through Chrump’s self-serving, treasonous garbage heap of a campaign and his toxic, bordering on fatal presidency, knows in his heart and mind that Chrump is guilty.  He acknowledged that Chrump was generally dishonest in his answers to the Special Counsel’s written questions.  Chrump flat out failed an open-book test.  Since it is clear that his stupidity is dwarfed by his dishonesty, and since Chrump’s lying in this case is a federal crime, there is no other path but, to coin a phrase, impeach the mother fucker already.

I. Mangrey reporting.  Break on through to the other side.
