In an Oval Office pool spray Wednesday, our benevolent overlord evil dictator of a president riffed on his impeachment before the press. One of their big midterm talking points is that if Democrats get the majority in Congress, they'll impeach him.
ACTUALLY...they probably won't. The task won't be so much to impeach Trump, because Trump enjoys that sweet sweet John Roberts and SCOTUS granted presidential immunity for official acts, which are basically everything. Even though impeachment reaches beyond that ruling and is in fact the sole remedy to remove Trump, the odds of getting the Senate to roll with that are just not there.
HOWEVER, Norm Ornstein wrote this week in The New Republic that Dems should impeach the lying cabinet members who do not enjoy such immunity and who have profited much from Americans' pain.
But I digress. As I said, Trump was ruminating on impeachment while telling another bullshit story.
"What would you impeach him for? And all three didn't know. They said, we don't know. I don't know. One of them was just dumbfounded by the question. He said, yeah, we would impeach him. And what would you exactly impeach him for? Well, I don't know. Let's see. Let's see. That's it. So that's as far as he got,"
And then he got specific:
"As far as I got, with that being said, I could have done very bad things to Hillary Clinton," he snarled. Nothing like a little rapey threat to lead things off, right?
"I could have done very, very bad things to Joe Biden," he continued. "I could have done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama." Because he never misses a chance to toss that "Hussein" in there like the racist epithet he intends it to be.
The next lie: "I thought it was inappropriate to do so because you have to treat the office of the presidency with respect." Only if it's worthy of respect, bozo.
"Then I found out that they impeached me twice, and I certainly, even to this moment, I can do whatever I want if I want., he declared.
The last time I heard this declaration, it came from one of my kids when they were about 2 years old.
Yes, John Roberts and SCOTUS gave the orange terror toddler permission to do what he wants. But we're coming for his cabinet and enablers.
VOTE.
