It is with Heavy Heart that I say, We Must Impeach

 

Friends,

I try for moderation in all things. I certainly don’t believe everything I see in the media. I don’t believe everything that either party tells me. This brouhaha over impeachment has seemed ridiculous to me up to now. But with recent developments, I have seen the light. Trump must be impeached, removed from office, and prevented from ever holding another office of public trust in his lifetime. There are some acts that are simply beyond the pale for any civilized person, and the use of exclamation points outside of very strict boundaries is one of them. The evidence is before us:

We cannot allow this sort of abuse of the exclamation point to continue. Not even one time.

    Can we impeach the presidency itself and dissolve the federal government? Is that an option?

    I’m not sure we can do this, but maybe we can just proactively impeach all of the candidates for PotUS. Surely they have done something wrong.

    I see ‘The White House’ is in all caps.  That’s a COC violation and under Article II section 4, the OrangeMan must be impeached.

    The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, code of conduct violations, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

    It must be carefully weighed to determine the balance.

    He orders his steaks well-done. And then puts ketchup on them.

     

     

    Miffed,

    Didn’t Hitler do the same? Eva tried to get him to switch to A-1 but no way. Ketchup, yes ketchup! The barbarian.

    Regards,

    Jim

    Actually, Hitler was a vegetarian.

    No, Hitler was a strict vegetarian. He was also anti-smoking. He probably did cross-fit, too. And abused exclamation points.

    So, what you’re saying is that Trump is worse than Hitler.

    He is simultaneously worse than Hitler and actually is Hitler.

    I like the way you think.

    That’s it. When the President is impeached, the entire Executive Branch has to take a hike.

    Then I think it just qualifies as a microaggression.  Probably not impeachable.

    I heard from a government friend that the the FBI is getting close to finding the audio tapes of Trump slurping his soup.

    Not only that, Rumor Control says he was seen chewing gum in the Oval Office.

    But was he walking?

    At least he has sex.    Not sure I could trust a President who didn’t smoke, booze OR have sex.

    Impeach!

    This monster invented the word “covfefe”! There is no higher crime.

    Impeach!

    Other than maybe three exclamation points in one short comment. I’m looking at you, Augie. Best not ever try to run for office now.

    As a frequent user of exclamation points, I am getting nervous about the direction of this conversation.
