Trump impeachment: Oscar worthy theatrical production

The impeachment talk that began in November 2016, immediately following the inauguration of Donald Trump as America’s 45th president, culminated Wednesday with a theatrical production leading to articles of impeachment filed in the U.S. House. The contrivance could hardly be called a bi-partisan effort since not a single Republican voted for it. In fact, they were joined by two dissenting Democrats and another who refused to vote. From its inception, the entire effort has been steeped in rank Trump hatred.

Staged to convey a somber tone to the gleefully awaited event, the leftist members melodramatically dressed in black and declared the need to remove the president so they could face their children and grandchildren. Since more than a few qualify as senior citizens, they could have mentioned their great-grandchildren for added impact. Then the all day and evening performance bizarrely veered off into the stratosphere when Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced she may not send the articles of impeachment to the (Republican majority) senate.

Despite ongoing efforts to smear him, President Trump remains immensely popular, drawing record crowds to his rallies. He smoothly held one in Battle Creek, Michigan yesterday as his Democrat antagonists were poised to obliterate his presidency. Americans, benefiting from his economic programs, waited for hours in sub-zero temperatures to hear him speak.

It’s not only Trump and his policies the left loathes. They also despise us, because they know we will reelect him in 2020. They lie with impunity and hate with vigor. We are the “smelly Walmart shoppers,” described by Barack Obama as “clinging to out guns and bibles.” Like schoolyard bullies, they disingenuously promote the notion that Hillary Clinton would be in the White House if it wasn’t for rabidly sexist and racist Republican voters.

Skipping the double talk in favor of quadruple talk, Pelosi was able to keep a straight face as she said, “We’re not sending [the articles] tonight because it’s difficult to determine who the managers would be until we see the arena in which we will be participating. So far we haven’t seen anything that looks fair to us, so hopefully it will be fairer and when we see what that is, we’ll send our managers.” That the word “fair” was able to escape her unprincipled lips is a marvel.

In a recent commentary, the brilliant Victor Davis Hanson, wrote:

“Given the current criteria of the Trump impeachment, Barack Obama easily would have been impeached: in Fast and Furious, the Iran nuclear deal, and Benghazi, Obama stonewalled congressional requests or kept critical information from the public and Congress. On illegal immigration, Obama simply made up or ignored laws in the manner earlier that he said to have done so would be antidemocratic and monarchial.

Every impeachment charge against Trump far more easily could have been lodged against an imperial Obama presidency—without mentioning that Obama ultimately may be found to be knowledgeable of the entire CIA, FBI, and Justice Department surveilling of an opposition campaign and sabotage of a presidential transition.”

The editorial in today’s issue of the steeply declining, Hillary-endorsing Arizona Republic is topped with an absurd headline, “The best way forward now? We, the people, get to vote.” The leftist editorial board conveniently forgets, we already did.
