Opinion: Impeachment Is The Christmas Present Trump Deserves

Opinion: Impeachment Is The Christmas Present Trump Deserves


Days after Speaker Pelosi led the House to impeach Donald Trump, the president and Republican leaders continue to feel the same sting a child feels when punished.

The fact that impeachment happened before Congress and the President went to their holiday destinations means Donald Trump got the Christmas present he deserved. For once, the return reflected the quality of his decisions and deeds.

To hear Republicans tell it, Trump was Jesus and everyone who ever faced persecution throughout the history of humanity and the only reason is because Democrats hate him. That is the greatest big lie of all the big lies surrounding the one means by which Donald Trump came anywhere near the concept of personal responsibility.

Let’s put the emphasis on celebrating the fact that the rule of law remains alive. In the coming year we have the chance to cement our faith in the ideas of equality, democratic representative in a Republic where the rule of law is king, not in a place where a king is the rule of law.

Making that statement means showing Trump and his counterpart in the Senate, the door. This year, Nancy Pelosi and the House of Representatives gave Donald Trump the Christmas present he deserved. It’s up to us to give ourselves the government we deserve in the upcoming year.

Now that we have his impeachment under our belt I’m looking forward to 2020. The real war between the parties is just starting!

and really since Merrick Garland's nomination was snuffed. Republicans have only been able to squash it by use of media, power, lies, subterfuge, and bribery. You can now feel the change in mood in the country, it is palpable. For the first time in 3 years, if not optimism but at least hope - or do we dare hope - that we can overcome this Satanic Cult.

So I would say we're driving the bus now, and it is through our efforts and the leadership of our party, and Speaker Pelosi, that we have opportunity to claw back.

To all Democrats I say, don't ____ it up.

To the rest of the country - pick a side. Constitution or monarchy, law or chaos, America or Trump. And don't give them an inch of wiggle room because there is none. The choice really is that stark.

So, lets go nail him to a cross on a hill. If he resurrects from dead in 3 days, we'll know they were right.
