33. To remind us what we are up against...

There are, however, some conservative websites that dislike Trump and, aside from the usual conservative twists, make ineresting reading. The following is one I tip-toe into from time to time and then slink out.


The American Conservative

Here is an article discussing impeachment and the WH that is up currently:

THE SWAMP IN THE WHITE HOUSE By Rod Dreher • September 28, 2019,

[snip]

I don’t know if impeachment is the answer. I’m disinclined to think so, but I certainly don’t rule it out. There’s more than enough to justify an investigation. I am at a conference in Massachusetts today, and last night after dinner, I spent an hour or two reading the day’s impeachment news. It’s exhausting, and I am extremely discouraged that this is what we’re going to have to deal with every day for the next year, until the election.

Here’s the thing: the main reason we are having to do this is because Donald Trump is reckless to a shocking degree. One day after the Mueller Report failed to take him down, he gets on the phone with the Ukraine president and pops off like this. How hard is it to restrain yourself? I resent the hell out of Donald Trump for putting so many conservatives, especially Republican lawmakers, in the position of having to defend him over stupid, easily preventable missteps.


I am, btw, a liberal of the moderate to left variety from my McGovern days to supporting Gen. Wesley Clark to my current support for Biden.
