We've been listening to the impeachment ~~nattering~~ speeches all day. Nancy Pelosi wore black, to emphasize how solemn the occasion is.

Everybody got their fifteen seconds of fame, some as long as three dreary minutes. There weren't lots of actual facts presented, but by golly, the Dems are sure he's guilty guilty guilty of something, even if the president of Ukraine sez her's not. (What the hell does he know about it, after all?) The professional protesters are out on the streets, where they usually are, while the Trump supporters are at work, supporting their families, except for the ones lining up in seventeen degree weather in balmy Battle Creek, Michigan to hear him.

The phrase we keep hearing over and over is "abuse of power." Asking the president of Ukraine to look into monkey business by what's recently become known as The Biden Crime Family is an abuse of power. Not passing on attorney client conversations between Trump and his lawyers, or confidential executive discussions is abuse of power.

We haven't heard a word about Congressional abuse of power. Sure, we've heard it described, but no one's put a name on it. Rep. Rashida Tlaib wants everyone to come together, not as Publicans or ~~Sinners~~ Democrats, but as Merkins to "Impeach the Motherfxcker!"

"Obstruction of Congress?" Obviously it's a term of art, beyond the ability of my limited three-digit IQ to comprehend. I've heard the term "Obstruction of Justice," but I can't recall, from before the time I started growing whiskers (which have now turned white) hearing the term "Obstruction of a Court." Nor have I ever heard the phrase "Obstruction of the Presidency." I think one applies better than the other in this case.

But what the hell do I know? I'm just an old crank. All I can do is vote, and after I'm dead I'll just change parties anyway.

#1 "Obstruction of Congress?"
On behalf of a goodly portion of America, I gotta say obstruction of Congress sounds like a damn fine thing.

#2 This whole process is beneath contempt. There's nothing left to discuss with these barking mad hatters.

I don't know if there was a last straw - the first straw was the last straw for me and everyone who knows anything about Russia-- but surely the ultimate absurdity in this whole Shitshow was learning that these idiots didn't even know that their sisters at Langley had enlisted Carter page as OUR OWN ASSET. They were wiretapping THEIR OWN GUY.

There's nothing worth debating at this point. These people are as lucid and cogent as the Black Hebrew Israelites.

#3 Have you ever gone to a public restroom and it is filthy, smells bad and is disgusting. The place reeks, permeates and contaminates surrounding areas outside the public restroom. These things need to be routinely and thoroughly cleaned out and disinfected as they accumulate germs and are a public hazard.
