The Impeachment Follies!

For those of you out there in Internet-Land who are too busy making a living and raising your kids and paying your taxes to have paid any attention to the recent "impeachment inquiry" thingie unfolding in Washington, D.C., let me bring you up to speed.  Let me tell you what this whole impeachment thing is all about, okay?  Ready?  Here it is...

"...I'd like you to do us a favor, though, as our country has been through a lot and Ukraine

knows a lot about it."  

                                 -  Direct Quote From Donald J. Trump, 
                                               During July 25th Phone Call With  
                                               New Ukraine President Zelensky


And so, the impeachment follies begins...    

These were the words of POTUS Trump that the Democrat majority in the House of Representatives plucked from a congratulatory phone call between Trump and Zelensky on July 25th.

These were the words that the Democrats have seized upon to ignite the impeachment bonfire.  It's lit, and it's raging...

These were the words that the Democrats are convinced will make you, the American people, want to force the President from office.  It certainly has them.    

And these were the words that were listened to, on the phone, by at least 25 others, in real time, including representatives of the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, the State Department, the Office of Management and Budget, and various and sundry other lawyers and bureaucrats and secretaries whose job it is to listen to calls like these every single day and on every single phone call in the White House to make sure everything is recorded and nothing is misunderstood.  

How prophetic.

(BTW, I'm guessing that if I wanted to do something that might get me impeached, I probably wouldn't do it with 25 or 30 people listening!)

No matter, the Democrats have just released their "Articles of Impeachment," which is their "criminal" charges against POTUS Trump.  They are:  1), Abuse of Power (he did something they didn't like!).  And 2), Obstruction of Congress (he wouldn't do something they demanded of him!).  Interesting.  

You should know firstly that Article "1" is not a crime.  It is a political opinion.  And neither is "2," an internal, inter-agency disagreement between two separate but equal branches of Government, most normally resolved using the courts.  Except, as in this case, when one of the Parties discovers it has no viable POTUS candidate for 2020 and needs to throw a "hail Mary." 

But that's just my opinion... 

Impeachment according to the Constitution is defined as "Treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors."  The two articles of impeachment brought by the feckless Democrats do not seem to match that definition, I'd say.  How about you?   

And so, with 25 or 30 people listening in, President Trump decided to ask for a favor on behalf of us, the American people.  Us.  Not him, us.  And that, according to Democrats, is impeachable. 

Huh? 

Stay tuned, America.  The thought of Trump being frog-marched out of the White House is just too deliciously enticing to the Dems to pass up.  They won the majority in the House with the 2016 election and they're not going to let this awesome power slip from their shaky grasp.  They're going to use it to "correct" the 2016 vote, and either impeach Trump, or dirty him up so much they think he won't be able to win in 2020.  Our young Country has never experienced anything like this before, and likely never will again.  At least, I'm pretty sure we all hope it doesn't.  I know I do...

Something tells me this will end quite a bit differently than the Democrats have envisioned...
