Trump: 'If You Impeach Me Now, I Shall Become More Powerful Than You Can Possibly Imagine'
[Babylon Bee] Nancy Pelosi is reportedly starting impeachment proceedings against President Trump. It's not clear why but at least it will be fun for all involved, which is good because the news cycle has been a little slow over the summer. We all need a good public spectacle once in a while.

But Trump is a good sport and wanted to warn the Democrats about what they're going to do: "If you impeach me now, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine," he said in an open address to his political foes. "Seriously, I will have huge power, believe me. Maybe the most power of anyone ever."

When pressed for what would happen, Trump admitted that he would probably be impeached and die but they wouldn't find a body: only a folded-up suit and his orange toupee. Then, he would appear to his replacement, Mike Pence, in visions and whisper advice. "For instance, if he were at a state dinner with a foreign diplomat and the salads come out, I'd tell him to use the fork."

#1 Can we conclude from this fresh nonsense that the Russian Collusion thing is finally dead?

#3 2525 AD
Deep under Chernobyl, the Baltic:
A tentacled toupe on a Toltec,
Still hugely attractive
And radioactive,
Asleep in a cavern basaltic.

#5 We're all ignoring the big picture. This impeachment business is merely a clever ruse to find the location and ownership of those no fewer than 20 million so called assault weapons.

It was only up for an hour or so, as far as I can tell.

Heck no. It's just been resurrected in another form. The talking heads are probably going to whine about how bad it is but not be able to come up with any real reason why. They'll watch each other float trial balloons and hope one of them comes up with something that sounds legitimate to their emotionally challenged audience.
