Let the (Impeachment) Games Begin

Written on Sept 26, 2019

So Drumpf admits to making a deal with a foreign power to influence the 2020 election.

This is how out of touch he is - he either doesn't  understand how wrong that is (because he can't be bothered with the distinction between business relationships and government-based relationships between nations) or he doesn't care. Perhaps  because he thinks he's the Golden Boy who can't be touched; that he won't be caught and won't be punished. This is the narcissistic hubris of an ego-centric sociopath. He might have flown high, but he has learned zilch on the way. There is the smell of a Greek tragedy in the air, a downfall of his own making. Much like Nixon.

I imagine Ms Pelosi finally sighing, throwing up her hands and saying, Jiminy Cricket -- it's so obvious, there's not much I can do now.  Drumpf's action are structured as a dare. And so now, finally, we have impeachment actions.

This not to say that we can predict how far it will go or what will happen next. But Drumpf is so obviously uncontrollable by anyone, that it is now anyone's guess what he will do or say as the pressure mounts and the investigations begin. I'm sure many Republicans just want to throw their own hands up and say - you got yourself into this mess, get yourself out of it. Because it's not like he listens to anyone anyway. So there you have it. Impeachment is now on the table and investigations have begun.

And as far as his protests - who  really listens to what Tiny-Hand Drumpf has to say anymore? He lies and hyper-exaggerates every little thing, so who can believe anything he says? I don't. Will there be a civil war? I doubt it. Maybe there'll be one in his mind as he wanders around his private mental-institution jail cell.  He can call this whole thing a hoax or a hoarcrux, but I no longer care - because it won't be that funny or made-up when he's in the witness box. I hope Kamala Harris gets to grill him and grill him good. On national TV - because then we just might see what a coward he really is.

It also shows you how insecure he is about winning the election on his own merits - that he has to cheat to win, just as he did in 2016. Just like students who don't do their work or don't understand the subject matter resort to cheating because they can't accept either their own limits or the consequences of their inactions. Because this whole thing smells as rotten as roadkill skunk on a hot day - it shows us that Drumpf is familiar with this routine; that this is not the first time he has (traitorously) reached out to a foreign country to influence our elections.  And that he's capable of doing it again.

This makes passing Election Security legislation imperative. Better remind my MOC about that right now.
