    Impeachment Boomerangs on Democrats

    In just four days last week (plus a few short hours on Saturday) Democrats in the U.S. House managed to turn the once monolithic concept of Impeachment into a comic punchline. By standing the Constitution on its head and twisting traditions of the U.S. Senate into a Velveeta-slathered pretzel one might find on the midway at the Minnesota State Fair, House “managers” (more comedy) transformed Donald J. Trump from a recluse at Mar-A-Lago into the undisputed frontrunner for the Republican nomination for President in 2024.

    Quite a feat. And all because they could not stop letting Trump rent space in their collective minds. You see, to Democrats he is the living, breathing embodiment of this 1899 poem by William Hughes Mearns:

    Yesterday, upon the stair,
    I met a man who wasn’t there!
    He wasn’t there again today,
    Oh how I wish he’d go away
    !”…

    …So once again, Donald J. Trump wins. Senate majority leader Charles Schumer bravely declared Trump politically dead after Saturday’s latest failed Impeachment, saying that while he was acquitted—again—Trump “lost in the court of public opinion.” Time will tell. But my guess is the Democrats may very well face their “man upon the stair” again in the not too distant future. Only now (cue the “Rocky” theme) they’ve clumsily crowned him the undisputed back-to-back impeachment acquittal champion.”

    Of ALL the Republican Senators , the one I detest most, is the mealy mouthed Susan Collins. Every time I see her face, I think of the Three Stooges and their cream pie throwing skills. Next is McConnell. Playing kids games so seriously that it is very obviously staged and fraudulent, the whole Senate process itself. Every little move is choreographed, every little slip of paper, is pre-prepared and “submitted”, and laboriously axknowledged with fake decorum, paying fake compliments, and more…all fake..

    Like a bunch of no-talent, 10th rate amateur play actors. They need a HOOK to whisk them away to the wings.

    Hard to believe, that there are actually human beings who walk around and act like automatons, and refrain from bursting out into laughter at their own silliness. Nobody with a smidgen of humour, could stand it for 10 seconds.

    And people spend tens of millions to become elected to do THAT…..???? !!
