 As of later today, Donald John Trump will officially go down in history as the only president, so far, to be Impeached twice. We are living through extraordinary times. I feel like someone should be knitting something, like when Betsy Ross knitted the flag. Is there such a thing as an Impeachment flag? Nah... probably not. But doesn't that seem about right? Like there should be some wildly artsy thing happening? I imagine there might be a hillbilly off somewhere writing a special song for the soon to be ex-president, or perhaps a poem. Shrug. I am thinking of making some Impeachment scones for the occasion, I mean days like this don't come along everyday, but oddly enough, they have come around three times in my lifetime. Rickard Nixon, William Jefferson Clinton and of course the overachiever, Donald Trump.

 

Richard Nixon, of course, never actually faced Impeachment because he was smart enough to shut up, write a simple resignation letter and accept a full pardon from Gerald Ford. Clinton learned what happens when you aren't even as smart as Richard Nixon. You run your mouth, lie to Congress, and you get Impeached. Luckily, he wasn't forced out of office by the Senate, but what a sad time that was for America. I was so disillusioned, but all these years later I realize that I probably wasn't so much disillusioned as just plan sad that such a man, who governed brilliantly, had fallen so far. It still makes me sad when I think about all the damage it caused. But Trump is a completely different story. It wasn't a shaded stretch of the truth or a lie to congress, no, it was inciting a coup against the government of the United States. Our country. 

 

It's unforgivable. And so is the fact that he continues to run his mouth to the masses, to incite Civil War, in a selfish attempt to hold off the inevitable... jail. As of right now, that might be the last thing he has to worry about, Hell at least jail would mean there will be a roof over his head and food in his stomach. Two things he could be missing soon, as his equity drops. As of right now he has been kicked off most social media platforms, lost his contract with the PGA, the ability to process credit card receipts through Stripe, a host of other partnerships and the biggest of them all, Deutsche Bank called it quits on him yesterday. I'm waiting for a Breaking News alert saying Melania has filed for divorce. I'm not actually waiting for that, but it wouldn't surprise me if it happens before we reach June.

 

Well, anyway, today is going to be a long day, so I will leave it here with a letter from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs from yesterday, vowing to do their job and keep their promise to do due diligence. The second letter is from Vice President Mike Pence. I'd like to think he isn't invoking the 25th Amendment because he doesn't want to kick a man when he's down, but I know he is just a milquetoast coward, so there's that. I do have to hope Pence writes a book one day, and hopefully he will share why Trump chose, The Alamo, as his last Batshit stand. LOL. Oh well, holy Hell, I always did say Trump was one Impeachment away from charging up San Juan Hill! CHARGGGGE!
