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.

    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 kicking [redacted]?

    No.  He still has gum.

    So to get things straight, if the letter had been written in Spanish, whichever future President wrote it would need to be impeached twice, once standing on his head?

    We build a wall around the District of Columbia. Fabulous idea!

    It will be Yuuuge.

    I’d rather go with a moat and alligators.

     

    Miffed,

    An interesting thought. However, there are some creatures so obnoxious that even an alligator won’t eat it.

    Go figure.

    Regards,

    Jim

    Should have been obvious from his first act of love.

    He starts with “good deal” then goes to “great deal” then back to “good deal”

    Tired of settling.

    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.

    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.

    Are you OK! if they are mid-sentence?

    Time for the mainstream media to take the lead on this.  No magazine may contain more than 10.

    Until it turned up on the podcasts, I thought the existence of this letter itself was part of the joke.

    Is there really such covfefe in the world?

    Yep.

    I find in my head something like Tantae animis caelestibus irae?  “Are there such wraths in heavenly minds?”  From Virgil.

    I’d like to put the other question into Latin. Something like . . .

    Tanta covfefe mundo?

    I’m pretty sure covfefe would be a feminine noun in Latin.

    My understanding is that the translation from the Arabic is “I will stand.”

    Has anyone checked underneath his desk and chair?

    Not until I am assured the maid cleaned since Clinton left.
