Survey Finds More People Would Support Impeachment If They Knew What Crime Trump Was Supposed To Have Committed
2019-10-16
[Babylon Bee] U.S.‐A new study found that support for impeaching President Trump would rise significantly if someone, anyone could just tell people what crime Trump is supposed to have committed.

Republicans and many independents are stubbornly resisting the impeachment inquiry, as though you have to have some kind of reason to impeach the president. Democrats oppose this logic, saying that impeaching a president who insists on being Trump is a constitutional duty. Many Americans are just kind of confused by the whole thing and are waiting for something more interesting to come on TV.

"Impeachment is polling pretty strong just goin' on emotion and stuff," said one pollster, "but man, if we could point to some kind of impeachable offense, the numbers would go way, way up. We're talking very strong support once there is a crime to impeach for."

"Man, if we could just find that Trump, like, secretly nuked Canada or something---that would be the smoking gun," he added wistfully.

A small minority of Americans said they would support Trump even if there ends up being a clear, blatant high crime exposed, though this demographic was almost entirely made up of televangelists and Seb Gorka.

#5  The communists had "show trials." These were trials where the outcome was already determined. These trials were presented to the public where the accusation and verdict were both read. The trials were meant to be for propaganda purposes as well as to serve as a warning to others. Retribution for not following the party line was also a part of these show trials. What is going on with Schiff is not worthy of being a called a communist "show trial" as it is all being done in secret. It is antithetical to American values, basic rights and due process. Most people, when asked, wonder what crime was committed.

#4  There's going to be a [baseball. for you out-of-towners] World Series game in D.C. for the first time since 1933. Washington nationals sweep the St. Louis Cardinals in four games.

Wholloped.

Now if NY can just get eliminated could have a good World Series.

No, it isn't the team or even the fans who get me; its the announcers. They are just as bad when the Mets are in the playoffs.

It was so bad during the KC/NYM World Series, and got worse as it was increasingly apparent KC would thump NY. I had to shut off the volume when NY was up to bat. I turned it back on when KC was at the plate just to hear the sweet, sweet tears of boy crushes getting their hearts broken.

That's kind of a problem for these lunkheads who are so keen on impeachment.

We should be able to find a CIA whistle blower who will claim he heard about that happening...
