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:
EXCLUSIVE: I have obtained a copy of @realDonaldTrump’s letter to #Erdogan. @POTUS warns him to not “be a tough guy! Don’t be a fool!” Says he could destroy Turkey’s economy if #Syria is not resolved in a humane way. Details tonight at 8pm #TrishRegan #FoxBusiness pic.twitter.com/9BoSGlbRyt

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

Yeah, it’s really scary!!!!
I just read the letter. Was wondering what private communications between chiefs of state are doing in the public realm. Was rushing to post a comment that I just didn’t see anything impeachable. I didn’t really see a problem with the President of the United States trying to bring peace to a region. I thought that was suppose to be a good thing.
Then I started to read the comments and I think I get the joke, kind of. I’m a little slow sometimes.
Sin boldly.
I linked to a more serious conversation on the topic of the letter on the last page of comments, one started by Jon Gabriel. This conversation is making fun of the Democrats’ definition of “High Crimes and Misdemeanors,” which apparently includes things like leaving the seat up.
Did you just assume their toilet seat orientation?
It doesn’t matter. They would impeach him for putting it down, too.
“No real man does that. He must be impeached for his masquerade.”
Yes! He does!! He really does!!!
TBA, this one caught me so off guard. I guffawed audibly at my desk. Coworkers came around to ask if I was ok.
I knew my like for Trump was well-founded. The lack of rolled up sleeves is proof!
Literally.
I’m using this comment to say I like all these comments!
If you glance at Democrat blogs, they are SURE he has broken many laws (and Pelosi even said so), but it just hasn’t been proven yet. Where have you guys been?
Sure, but which law with what act? We need specifics here. I was specific. His crime is using unneeded exclamation points.
Brilliant.
My coworkers must be thinking that I’m having a stroke with all of the out loud reactions I’m having to this post.
Arahant: I would like to thank you for bringing this egregious punctuation abomination to the public’s attention. If Big D is allowed to get away with this, Betsy DeVos will soon be requiring elementary and junior high students to diagram sentences, reviving another hideous vestige of white privilege.

Remember how Reagan wouldn’t even take his jacket off out of respect for the office.
TRUMP IS JUST LIKE REAGAN!
(Are you triggered?)
Clearly we need universal background checks before anyone is allowed to use more than one exclamation point at the end of a sentence. These things are dangerous.
IMPEACH REAGAN NOW!!
Being like Trump, even retroactively and posthumously, is just too much of a high crime and misdemeanor to let slip. Orange Man Bad! Jelly Bean Man Bad! Four legs good, two legs better!
Walk and chew gum at the same time?! No, he wasn’t dong that. Trump is a considerate person and didn’t want to embarrass those who can’t manage that sort of thing. You know, Democrats, RINOs, and Nevers.
If you have a stash of unused ones, Beto O’Dork may have them confiscated. Or do a mandatory buy-back.
I’m not worried about being impeached for misuse of exclamation points — I only use those at the end of a string of profanities…
It’s the ellipsis that concern me — and the double dashes.
I’m screwed then….
Now, that’s a proposal I can get behind. Call your Congresscritters today.
I wonder how much the government would pay. I have a very large stash of unused exclamation points.
I love you people. You make me laugh.
Ari & CJ,
What a breakthrough, what a great idea. Here we have been trying to build a wall all the way across the southern border and now you come up with the real solution.
We build a wall around the District of Columbia. Fabulous idea!
Regards,
Jim
It will be Yuuuge.
Trump is the Greatest President of the Twenty-first Century!!!!!11!!!!eleventy!!!11!
I’d rather go with a moat and alligators.
But was he kicking [redacted]?
