'Toontime: Broken Record

BC Idonwanna sez:  Turn up the volume!
So Mueller testified, and Congress blew the Swamp for August. Let US put the blame for the demise of democracy squarely where it belongs: unmotivated, craven politicians who put political calculus ahead of defending the Constitution.  Mueller did his job and gave the Congress an impeachment referral; in his careerist view he could do no more. On its face, the document has more than enough evidence to justify beginning an impeachment inquiry. Second guessing the eventual outcome of the process defeats its salubrious purpose.  'Fake impeachment' is not enough because nobody, let alone the courts, will take that show seriously. Take a vote in committee and be done with the psychodrama, Chairman Nadler; you have the votes. Speaker Pelosi and other spineless Demos can still defeat impeachment on the floor, if they continue to believe playing craps with the remnants of democracy is politically expedient. Are you forgetting there is a five year statute of limitations on federal crimes?

Il Douche is apparently correct when he said he could shoot somebody on 5th Avenue and get away with it. Just the other day the delusional-in-chief said he 'could do anything because Article II' and accused Mueller of "treason". This dangerous poser has no appreciation of the system of coordinate branches of government, but he does have a deep narcissistic desire to be 'prezdent' for life. His enablers in Congress are therefore equally despicable. Now, because of a anachronistic, undemocratic voting system apparently subject to more foreign hacking to come* this imposter has better than an even chance of four more years in power--only in 'Merica, land of the deranged! Talk about a cluster f***!

Wackydoodle sez: Pelosi & Hoyer put on a show and nobody watched!

*Earlier this month a University of Tennessee Knoxville study funded by the Defense Department found that Trump’s polling upticks during the 2016 campaign correlated with social media activity by Russian trolls and bots. According to the study, every 25,000 retweets from troll and bot accounts connected with Russia’s Internet Research Agency predicted a 1 percent bump in Trump’s polling. The study's lead researcher told NBC news that given only 75,000 votes in three swing states made the election's difference, the possibility that the Russian agitprop campaign materially affected the election cannot be ruled out.

 Duck!
