Question: the 2nd impeachment
« on: March 16, 2024, 03:39:21 PM »
I applied a coat of primer to the basement steps this morning, and it not being a walk-out, I was obliged to stay down there a while. So, I had time to think, and I began to wonder something.

If Donald Trump becomes president again, and the foreigners get control of the House again, what will the next set of impeachment charges be?

My prediction is he'll be "impeached" for hatespeech.


(I'm calling it the second impeachment. The first "impeachment" was clearly not a real impeachment, as he wasn't charged with committing any actual crimes.)

Perpetual impeachment proceedings will become de rigueur with the foreigners (good term!) having a House majority. And most of the legacy media will be beating the drum in support of such.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Somebody (Trump?) recently was quoted as saying that if republicans don't win this November, there may never be another election.

I am certain there will be more elections.  I just won't predict the nature of them.  Many dictators around the world have had regular elections.

Yeah.  Those, like Putin's recent "re-election" don't count as they aren't "free" elections.  And, I'm not sure that 2020 was a "free" election.  :facepalm:  [popcorn]  [barf]
