News that I missed, courtesy of The Babylon Bee:
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Mitch McConnell felt bad for Nancy Pelosi after watching her get forced to impeach the president by the radical wing of her party, then impeach him and sit on the articles of impeachment for weeks. So, he decided to cheer her up a bit.
McConnell had his staffers deliver Pelosi a shirt reading “I Impeached The President And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt.” Pelosi did not seem to understand the nice gift, pointing her finger sternly and lecturing the McConnell staffer: “Don’t mess with me.” Though her dentures fell out before she could finish her rant, sadly.
“It’s the least I could do,” McConnell said, a grin slowly spreading across his face. “I feel bad for the poor girl — so much work on impeachment for nothing. Everyone needs a little consolation prize, a little affirmation. A participation trophy, you might say.”
Go here to read the rest. Impeachment and Removal are not hard processes to comprehend, but they do require a grasp of basic math. In the Age of the Woke, I guess that is too much to expect on the port side of our politics.
Thanks God for the current rules of the Electoral College. If Presidents were elected by popular vote our country would soon be in the hands these devilish communists what with vote buying and voter fraud..
As a Roman Catholic from Ireland I feel uncomfortable how The American Catholic can side with the political right to such a degree and gloat about the outcome of Trumps Impeachment
How did you feel JFC when Ireland voted to legalize gay marriage and abortion? I felt “deeply uncomfortable” about that. I am also deeply uncomfortable about the number of Catholics in this country who always vote for a party that views abortion and gay marriage as constitutional rights, if not rites.
As to the outcome of Trump’s impeachment, it was as pre-ordained as the Sun coming up in the east, and only blind rage prevented the Democrats from seeing that.
As a Roman Catholic in the United States I can’t understand how many alleged Catholics in Ireland voted for legalizing the holocaust of abortion through their constitutional referendum. I mean, the average German never got a vote on the holocaust. The Irish did.
Father of Seven, winner of the Internet for today. Two thumbs up.
Impeachment I don’t think was ever about removing Trump, which, except for possibly the AOC wing, the Dems knew was never going to happen –even allowing for media pressure to move the predictably linguine-spined in the Republican caucus.
Two things it might really have been about: 1) flipping the Senate by tying it up all spring and summer (Kavanaigh on steroids). 2) Preventing Trump from putting another conservative on the Supreme Court. The argument there to be that the taint of impeachment should cause the Senate to refuse to confirm a lifetime appointment for such a President’s nominee.
Maybe both. Or maybe just a last bid attempt to keep the focus on Trump instead of on the epic corruption of our institutions committed by the Obama administration against Trump.
As a Catholic, period, I am deeply uncomfortable with how many folks think false witness and detraction is perfectly fine, but celebrating the rules being followed and justice prevailing is tacky.
Impeachment was simply more of the same left wing Alinskyite tactics that the left has been practicing for decades.
