The Dims are throwing a hissy fit with the failure of the Mueller witch hunt to find a crime so now they’re trying to say Trump obstructed justice. Speaker Blinky is losing control of the House and it’s looking more and more like the Dims aided by a few RINOs may try to impeach Trump. Ron has further thoughts on that. Here they are.
I just don’t get it. Impeachment. Just can’t see why the constant demand for it from rabid Dems, and now even some Republicans. Old phrase “Qui bono?” keeps comin to mind – who benefits from it?
I mean . . . I know the word’s meaning – questioning the validity or the integrity of an official, and many resisteros consider DJT’s election somehow suspicious (though zero evidence has been produced to support that claim).
The more generalized charge would be misconduct while in office, but other than his calling liars liars and conspirators conspirators and obstructionists obstructionists, the remotest chance of such a charge sticking is that he simply doesn’t do things the way they want them done.
In England the meaning of the word is slightly different, tending toward charges of crimes against the state, actual crimes, such as plotting or colluding with a foreign power to cause harm to the nation’s integrity or standing.
But try as I can, I’ve failed to find any substantial crime or misdemeanor other than being “nontraditional” to charge Trump with for the purpose of beginning the process of removing him from office, which has about as much chance of happening as my 3rd set of teeth emerging any time soon.
IMO, officially bringing charges against DJT for the purpose of impeachment by the House and eventual conviction in the Senate would be frivolous, doomed to failure, and create sympathy for him as a victim where none existed before. It would tag the Dems pushing for impeachment as persecutors, not patriots . . . bullies, not buddies . . . pezzonovanti, not poo-bahs.
It’s nothing but an undisguised raw grab for power based on the left’s refusal to accept that they lost a rigged election. Spite. Nothin more. Childish, piggish, peevish, sulky, envious abuse of authority because they didn’t get their way. Hell, the guy who SHOULDA been impeached was Soetoro, a post turtle of the worst kind.
Just can’t see how we’d be better off as a nation . . . Safer? Richer? Stronger? . . . if he were ousted from office. And if he is, I’m not confident Pence could lead water downhill. He’s even less inspiring than Dan Quayle was. In fact, if anything, he prob’ly looks like an ANTI-impeachment insurance policy to the hard left.
What the guy did was fail to conform to the stereotypical, corrupt, political posturer and empty-suit syndrome most high-office seekers ultimately morph into. He refused to sugar coat horse manure and counterpunched meaningfully when verbally attacked. And what’s worse, he hurt people’s feelings by telling the truth on ‘em, and had the effrontery to not only directly insult, but decisively beat, an alcoholic career failure despite the fact that she was reportedly female.
Nope. Just don’t get it. NObody would profit from an impeachment effort in the House, except DJT himself in a classic case of reverse psychology. And the rest of the world would be even MORE cautious in dealing with our government over terrorism, trade imbalances, tariffs, mass migrations, health issues, and petty dictators in failed socialist countries.
Besides, just as with Islam, all the lefties have to do is wait – the pendulum will swing back a la izquierda in just a few years anyway and they can return to their regularly scheduled program of eating the rich, taxing the middle class into oblivion, demoralizing the military, inventing more genders, mangling more personal pronouns, frightening more little girls in public restrooms, returning to horse-and-carriage technology, and banishing white-haired white males from the planet.
All I know fer shure is that we are always just one ginormous high-altitude EM pulse away from the same conditions which gave rise to Muhammad’s hash-induced wet dream. And if you listen closely, you can hear a tinkling sound – bink-bink-bink – as snowflakes, socialists, atheists, and assholes chip away at the base of the green lady on Liberty Island, the cornerstone of the National Archives, the pedestals on which Jefferson’s and Washington’s statues stand, and Independence Hall.
DJT is only a temporary delay in the inexorable march toward socialist oblivion – SpeedBumpTrump, the Alley-Oop of Murkan prezidunts, a throwback, as out of place in D.C. as Antabuse in Hillary’s medicine cabinet or Nancy’s transcontinental flights.
His administration is like an old wooden kitchen match, burning slowly . . . steadily . . . evenly . . . until just before it reaches the end of the stick, when it suddenly flares, hot and bright, then dies ignominiously, burnt-out and useless, and is tossed into the trash can with the old coffee grounds, eggshells, and folded-up Pampers.
I don’t get it. The Dems are mad because they lost? Too bad, but Hillary was a terrible candidate.
“refused to sugar coat horse manure” — brilliant.
Dims might know they can’t win with these deranged candidates and moronic ideals so just maybe, in their confused minds, they believe that they can impeach their way thru both Trump and Pence and finally regain the POTUS spot with …..urrrp …… Blinky……?
I think, Ron, that you have a good point about Trump gaining from a failed impeachment effort. It would probably lock him in for another term and also let the Left around the world know that they’d be dealing with a President who is unfettered by an impotent opposition.

Jeeze, who pissed in your cornflakes today? I know your handle is Grouchy Old Cripple, but cheer up a bit. I have good news. You and I (I’m 66) will both be dead before the s#!t hits the fan.
Yep! We won’t live to see the demise of this wonderful country.
demokkkrats have crappy party,
and candidates to prove it want an impeachment win.
tired of losing,want to take down the union with it
Your execution of prose is exemplary and your words paint a vivid and accurate picture, sir! I’ve said since the morning after the vote – let ’em carry on, they’re just shooting themselves in the foot! My heart saddens to think how quickly our last hurrah will fade into history and am actually glad to be my age, I won’t need to see our America circa 2050.
Simple as this: Reps impeached BJ for perjury to a federal Grand Jury. Just wanna get even by impeaching an R (any R will do) they wanted Dubya impeached, Trump and all future Rs are in the crosshairs until one genuinely fouls up. Having no knowledge of history, the go-getter Ds never learned how BJ’s impeachment redounded on Republicans. As another commenter said, they’re clutching at straws as they drown
