More Free Entertainment, Please!

Old folks are often a little bit short in the wallet.  They might not always have the cash they need to pay for all sorts of cable upgrades and high-priced streaming services so they can enjoy a little TV now and then.  They may need less costly forms of entertainment to fill their often boring days.  And they've had that in spades of late.

Yes, my fellow Pilgrims, we've been treated to the most delicious array of TV programming over the past couple of years.  We've been witnesses to a high-level pissing contest between those that won the White House and kept the Senate in 2016, and those who wish they had and thought they did.  And the winners have been dodging the slings and arrows of outrageous and continuous accusations and threats from the losers ever since... 

Trump wins.  Hillary loses.  The Democrats go absolutely nuts!  Trump passes all sorts of new laws and issues all manner of Executive Orders and everything turns rosy in America!  Unemployment goes down and wages go up and the stock market goes through the roof!  

And the Democrats go absolutely nuts!  

So, operating on the assumption that "He" will get reelected in November unless they dirty him up a little, the Democrats play the impeachment card.  That's the one you're never supposed to play.  Ever.  Especially unless you really have the goods on somebody.  

But they did anyway, and The Donald was acquitted.  And the Democrats went absolutely nuts, again!  And we, the taxpaying public, were permitted to witness this extremely expensive miscarriage of justice from beginning to end, playing out live on cable TV, all day, every day, from the comfort of our armchairs, right in front of God and everybody!

Now, I dunno' about you, but as for me, I watched every single minute of this drama play out live every day for the past two years.  It's been a history lesson, a passion play, a docudrama, a daytime soap opera, a cringe-worthy carnival of unseemliness, and a rip in the fabric of our nation, replete with highly-paid and very well dressed lawyers and lobbyists and blow-dried media types.  

And just like the movie "Titanic," we knew how it ended lonnnnnnggg before the opening credits.  But we watched it anyway.  

Some of us were hoping it would result with The Donald found guilty and frog-marched from the White House.  The rest of us - the ones who are operating with a full deck - knew full well that it was nothing but a complete and foolish waste of time, effort, energy and money.  But it happened anyway.  And it ended with a thud.  A sad, sorry, predictable and ridiculous waste of our American pride and prestige was broadcast on national television for all the world to see.  

Shameful.

So I say, gimme' more!  Impeach him again (they most likely will...they have nothing else to offer).  Us old folks need more free entertainment!  And I'd say this is just about the best entertainment you can get, now that the "Jerry Springer Show" is off the air...
