Them Damned Poster Boys

It was only three presidencies ago that the House set out to “remove a duly elected president from office.”

And it seems like just yesterday that the House plotted to “overturn the will of the American voters.”

The arguments now being made against impeaching Donald Trump are identical to those used during the impeachment trial of Bill Clinton.

President Trump is being accused of extortion, bribery, obstruction and profiteering from being in office. Not to mention using campaign money to pay off porn stars. Not good.

An impeachment inquiry is a painful but necessary step in investigating a president’s conduct. It may or may not lead to impeachment.

Our Founding Fathers wanted us to impress upon our presidents that Dear Leader Kim may be above the law, but they are not.

Donald Trump has contracted for the services of a ridiculous number of people with hidden ties to former Soviet countries.

No way this is a coincidence.

Trump goombahs are being investigated, indicted and convicted. Flynn, Manafort, Cohen, Stone, Gates, Papadopoulos, Giuliani’s new best friends Lev and Igor. There will be more.

We have an American president who acts like he’s working for a godfather named Putin. He’s reversed the efforts of both Republican and Democratic presidents to contain the Russian dictator.

He wants to ease sanctions and to reinstate Russia in the G7. He’s urged Ukraine to surrender its democracy to Russian aggression. He’s peddling a conspiracy theory that Ukraine, not Russia, sabotaged our 2016 elections.

The Trump operation buys off porn stars, profits from the presidency, obstructs, extorts, destroys whistleblowers and those officers duly appointed to investigate.

Our Founding Fathers knew we’d vote a occasional mobster into the White House now and again, so they gave us a constitutional power to correct that mistake. The power to impeach.

You tellin’ me I can’t put the squeeze on Ukraine if it don’t play ball by digging up dirt on my political opponents.

You sayin’ I can’t use campaign donations as hush money to pay off porn stars?

What’s so wrong about having federal employees spend taxpayer dollars at Trump luxury resorts? So they splurge a little?

And you know those ten likely incidents of obstructing justice hanging over my head? Well, I’ll tell you what, Nancy, right here I got your ten likely incidents of obstructing justice. You ain’t seen nothing yet.

America don’t deserve a president like me.

We know with absolute certainty that Russia interfered in our 2016 elections.

The Senate Intelligence Committee which is controlled by Trump Republicans, confirmed there were ‘extensive’ intrusions. The Director of National Intelligence (Trump’s guy) condemned Russia’s attacks. Then the president forced him from office.

Robert Mueller warns that even as we speak Vladimir Putin is working to guarantee his tag-team partner a second term.

The Russian machine will again be sliming Trump opponents and will again try to sow hatred among Americans.

Now would be a good time to bookmark a reliable fact-checking site and place it in your browser toolbar. And maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea if we swore off vodka, at least until after the election.
