Is Today the Day?

Is today the day that the US Senate once again vomits on the US Constitution by casting not guilty votes in the impeachment trial of former president cheeto McFuckface?

The first time around they put party ahead of country and voted to set the precedent that it’s okay for a sitting president to enlist the help of a foreign country in rigging an election. Today it is likely that they will once again put party over country and vote to set the precedent that it is okay for a sitting president to enlist the help of armed thugs to overthrow the US legislative branch. Also, they will set the precedent that a lame duck president can break any law he chooses because they cannot be found guilty in an impeachment trial after they leave office, even if they are actually impeached prior to leaving office.

It’s going to be a great day for America, he said with total sarcasm.

Impeachment

Now that trump is ancient history I have been able to take my eyes away from the White House without fear of it resulting in atomic annihilation. Words cannot express how good that feels. The adults are back in charge.

Mostly.

I haven’t watched the Impeachment proceedings, but every so often I check on the news (or, worse, twitter) and I read something about how insane the Republican party has become. Moscow Mitch says they should vote their conscience. What if they have no conscience?

Is the impeachment constitutional? Yes. Obviously. He was still president when he was impeached. Is inciting a deadly attack on the US Capitol impeachable? Duh. There you go. Constitutional scholar, QED.

I am more interested in Georgia opening an investigation into his election tampering. The punishment for that should have some teeth. We’ll see.

Until then, just keep repeating to yourself that the grownups are back in charge.

The grownups are back in charge.

The grownups are back in charge.

Twice

Barak Obama is better than Donald Trump in every measurable way except one. He was a better President, he is a better person, he has a Nobel Prize, he’s probably better at golf and every other sport, he’s never been divorced, he’s never paid to fuck a porn star (that we know of). There are so many things at which Barak Obama is superior to Donald Trump.

The one exception? Getting impeached. Donald Trump has been impeached while Barak Obama, in double the amount of time, was never impeached.

Now, as of this afternoon, Donald Trump has once again shown how much better he is at getting impeached than Barak Obama by getting impeached an unprecedented second time. Only three US Presidents have ever been impeached, Johnson, Clinton, and Trump. Nixon was about to be impeached but he resigned in order to avoid the shame (and the criminal charges, thanks to Gerald Ford). Trump has now been impeached twice. The first president in US history to be impeached twice.

Word is that speaker Pelosi will be sending the articles of impeachment over to the Senate right away. The Senate will then do the same thing they did last time and make a mockery out of the process which by extension makes a mockery out of the checks and balances setup by the Constitution. The Senate is currently on recess until the 19th, which is the last full day of the twice impeached trump’s one and only term. He could call for the Senate to reconvene early, but why would he want to do that? It’s not like the twice impeached trump launched a violent assault on the Capitol or anything, right?

Congratulations to the twice impeached fascist in chief who has once again proven that he is infinitely better at getting impeached than his presidential predecessor, Barak Obama, ever was.

In case you missed the point here, donald trump has been impeached. Again. Unlike last time, 10 republican representatives crossed the aisle to vote in favor. Last time the only republican to vote in favor was senator Romney. This time we will need 17 senators (I think) to vote in favor and that’s a tall order. It looks like the trial won’t happen until after trump leaves office though. At that point the Democrats will have the majority in the Senate but that alone won’t be enough.

The only question left is, how much damage can the fascist in chief do in the final seven days of his term?

I Can’t Take It

I’ve had the House debate on impeachment running for about 15 minutes and I am so mad I can’t believe it. I literally just heard a republican say that when the nazi fascist incited the riot he didn’t mean it. The rioters weren’t supposed to take him seriously.

Republican after republican saying he didn’t do anything wrong when he kicked off an armed attack on the Capitol building which killed five people. I honestly cannot take it anymore. The apologists are utterly infuriating. It’s unforgivable. The collaborators need to be removed from Congress.

Happy Impeachment Day

I still want to come up with a word to use for a second impeachment. Repeach is my first attempt and it’s the best I’ve come up with so far (I searched for it on twitter and as with all creative things I attempt it was not original) but I’m really not feeling it. I also thought to treat it as a movie title and called it Impeachment II: The Repeachening. That’s better, but it’s… kinda… long.

The plan as we know it is to hold the vote to impeach the fascist terrorist cheeto today. I don’t know when. I don’t know how much debate there will be. I’m sure there will be some, but the evidence in this case is so obvious how much debate will they need? I mean, every one of them was there when it happened, and the instigation happened on television. How much more discussion do you need?

I read last night that the first draft of the articles of impeachment was actually written by three Congressmen as they were hiding in someone’s office during the attack. Removing that scum bag from office would be a tiny bit of poetic justice in this case.

Let’s have the vote right now. Remove him and throw his terrorist ass in jail. Done and done.

Impeachment II: The Repeachening

I am so embarrassed. What a mess we’ve made of our country.

Volume Four… and Five

So the United States is crumbling all around us. The president was impeached 11 months ago and guess what! He’s likely going to be impeached again either today or tomorrow, depending on whether or not the vice president grows a set of balls and removes him from office via the 25th amendment. Life is pretty strange here in the good ol’ USA.

So here we are, trying to go about our normal day to day as our little baby 245 year old nation implodes. What’s a red head to do to keep from just screaming 24/7?

Well, he works on The Great 2015 Re-Recording Project, of course. Also, he pretends to work on a January album in a month. I’ve done almost nothing on that one. Just a couple of little bass riffs. I need to get back onto that but I have a ton of work still to do on volume four of the re-recordings. For some dumb reason my plan to redo old songs in batches of eight has turned into a batch of 14. Oops. One of those songs is done, eight more have the vocals done and are ready for lead guitar. Two of those eight will need to have the rhythm guitars done over. I used some effects that I thought were cool at the time, but now listening back they were mistakes. After that, there are still five songs waiting to start.

So I’m calling it. The nine songs underway are now the total of volume four, and the remaining five will be the start of volume five. I’ll dig through the piles of awful songs and pull three more for a total of eight, and then I’ll wait until after RPM in February to work on them. This is the way. I have spoken.

Now, back to the source of stress that sits on top of the mountain of stress that is Covid-19… will Pence do his fucking job today or will he let trump get away with LITERALLY SENDING HIS CULT TO ASSASSINATE HIM. Do your job, Mikey boy. Cut the crap and grow a pair. Then Nancy can impeach the prick at her leisure. There are only nine days left in Cheeto McClownshoes’ term and nine days is too long to wait. He and the cult cannot get away with this. No unity without repercussions. This is the way. The people have spoken.

Impeach Him Again

The word coming out of Washington is that if cheeto doesn’t resign, or Pence and the cabinet do not enact the 25th Amendment and remove trump from power, they will begin impeachment proceedings by Monday.

Trumps term ends in 12 days. Just imagine the amount of damage the deranged, fascist, lunatic can do in 12 days. He needs to be removed now. Right now. Immediately. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Cabinet members are resigning left and right. They are saying that cheeto’s terrorist attack on the Congress is the reason but that’s a clear lie. They are resigning because they don’t want to be part of the 25th Amendment discussion. Cowards. Fascists. Traitors. But, they aren’t actually breaking any laws so what can you do?

Monday is January 11th. The inauguration is January 20th. Why are we wasting three days? Start the impeachment process right now. It’s not like there’s a lot of investigating to do. Literally everything happened either on television or in front of your eyes. We all saw all of it. Impeach him right now. Immediately.

If you think that 3-12 days worth of a continued trump administration is nothing to fear, then read this:

Now do you understand why I want him gone right now? I want him impeached, I want the 25th enacted, I want him arrested for treason and terrorism. I want him to be moved as far from the nuclear codes as humanly possible.

Bolton’s Book

Are you going to read Bolton’s Book? Forgiving that the scumbag fascist stole the name from a Hamilton song, I still don’t think I want to read it.

Under normal circumstances, I would jump at the chance to read the inside dirt on the trump fascist regime, especially if it was written by someone who worked for him. In this case though… I don’t think I want to.

On the one hand, I read a review that says the writing is terrible. That is enough to turn me away. I don’t want the experience of reading the book to be painful when the subject matter is already super painful.

Mostly though… I just can’t get over that we knew all of this dirt was out there before the impeachment vote and the fascist collaborators in the senate ignored it all and didn’t subpoena him. That fact is so disgusting to me that I just can’t get past it.

Not to imply that I would ever pay money for something that Bolton would profit from. In this case I don’t even think I would read a pirated copy of the book. Screw that nazi.
