Impeach foh'ty fahve!
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
"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.
