Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
The Democrats are experiencing the giddy delight of having finally summoned up the stones to push the big red “IMPEACHMENT!” button. Their tawdry joy will pass. It’s a dumb idea, and they will soon regret it. This sorry scenario brings to mind Napoleon’s apocryphal advice to never interrupt your enemy when he, she or xe is making a mistake, and if the cheesy performance art piece that is this bogus scandal wasn’t so poisonous to our body politic, it would be hilarious.
Right now, the Dems are thrilled because they’re finally free of the tyranny of fairness and honesty and coherence, and they can indulge their deepest fantasies of frog-marching The Donald out of the Oval Office, to be replaced with Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit – wait, that’s not right. Why, that’s not right at all. They would replace Donald Trump with…Mike Pence, who will probably do the same things that have made Trump so successful without all the tweeting.
They have not thought this through. The Democrats are basically the proverbial dog that chases the car and finally catches it, then thinks, in fluent Terrier, “Okay, what the hell do I do now?” Only this analogy breaks down because dogs are cool. So are cars, except Priuses packing “COEXIST” or faded “I’m With Her” bumper stickers. In contrast, all Democrats are lame.
What is the plan here? They seem to be making it up as they stagger along. They latched onto this Ukraine thing about Bolivia Boy Biden and just went with it, not stopping to consider that outside their perverted coastal blue enclaves, people are going to look at him and think not that he’s the innocent victim of BAD ORANGE MAN but that he’s a crack-huffing, sibling widow-diddling weirdo.
Where is Hunter Biden right now, anyway? If we had an actual media that wasn’t a garbage coterie of Democratic transcriptionists, we’d be seeing a dozen TV vans parked outside whatever flophouse he’s squatting in right about now. But we do have a media that’s a garbage coterie of Democratic transcriptionists.
And regular people will see that.
This impeachment idea is bound to bite them in the Schumer because it’s just so dumb that it can’t possibly resonate with normal people. I do a fair bit of media, and one hostile radio caller was especially interesting. I listed many of Snortie’s myriad failings – I don’t remember if I brought up the crack pipe he left in a rental car or not – then asked her if she was bothered by the fact that this guy who has probably spent less time in Ukraine than I have (I did four trips there training their Army) and speaks less of the language than I do (I can order vodka – wait, I bet Boy Biden can too) got himself a $50K a moon sinecure on an oligarch’s board while daddy happened to be the veep.
She said “No.”
This was A-OK, cool, good-to-go. Thumbs up.
All right, normal people look at this situation and think, at best, “That’s sorta shady.” You cannot objectively assess this scenario and believe, “It’s totally normal. I’m sure that when he’s not face-diving into a towering heap of Medellin go-powder, Hunter probably brings a lot to the table that has nothing to do with Pappy Joe being the vice-president.”
The only people who actually believe this are, to use the clinical term, nuts. They make up a small but loud contingent. The people behind this exercise in futility are mostly the cynical libs online and in DC who will play along with what they know is a joke hoping they can undo 2016. So do the cruise-shilling Fredocon hacks of Conservative, Inc., who are eager to sign on and shed their dignity publicly – they usually only do that behind closed doors since, as Ace of Spades teaches, the shame is part of the kink – in order to try to salvage their tawdry Swamp status.
But to everyone else, this is just stupid. We’re supposed to be outraged that Trump (not really, but go with it) tried to have his lawyers dig up dirt on his political opponents, that he consulted with foreign governments to do so, that he used the power of his office to influence the election? Wasn’t that exactly how we got Russiagate? So, basically, when the Dems do it, it’s a crucial quest for justice and when Trump does it OMIGOSH THE NORMS THEY ARE BROKEN!
Yeah, right. Pass.
The media is going to try to chill out the terrified purple district Dems with soothing polls that explain how the majority of Americans love the idea of impeachment – just don’t look at those cross-tabs too closely! Now, impeachment is probably super-popular in big, blue dumb states like California and New York. But this kind of poll-skewing implies that this clusterfark is not so popular in normal places. You know, the places where the election will actually be decided? After all, Trump can lose CA and NY by 20 points and still win, and he can lose CA and NY by 40 points and still win.
The Dems are going to flunk out of the Electoral College again.
Impeachment is all fun and games for now. Schiff is in the spotlight and loving it. The media is collectively wetting itself. And the House is going to eventually vote 218 to 217 – Nancy will give as many purples a pass as she can – to pull the trigger. And then it will go over to the Murder Turtle’s lair and the first thing that Senate Majority Leader McConnell will do is issue a subpoena to Hunter Biden to come chat at the trial. That will be fun.
Hey, Gropey Joe’s snort-unate son might actually show up if the invitation comes from someone nicknamed Cocaine Mitch.
The elite does not want you or anyone else to imagine the terrifying consequences of their coup-play, but you have no obligation to obey those fussy sissies.

What half capable half decent person, besides Trump, will EVER run for the Office of the President again? NO ONE. That’s (((their))) plan… Chip
Only deep state puppets need apply… Chip
Mmmmmmmm Pence.
Mary Christine was first to comment on the Evangelical-Pence connection in regards to Trump tweeting recycled inflammatory Civil War quotes from that Evangelical pastor dude the other day.
The Oath Keepers immediately retweeted said aggressive tweets on cue.
Wouldn’t it be a hoot if the Orange Fuck was removed for essentially the same reasons a bitch-run court might issue an ERPO.
That’s what it’s coming to.
The entire establishment is now threatening to jail each other.
Read the 25th Amendment.
Uncharted waters.
Re: Kurt is playing 2D chess in the dark when it comes to Red team-Blue team analysis. This is far from sideshow Democrat incompetence. It’s carefully scripted and timed high-stakes POLITICAL THEATER.
Everything with the Prog Fooks is theater for several years now. As the old saying goes, “Politics is show business for ugly people.” Looking at some of those pressers where Sheila Jackson Lee is the best looking person at the podium it is PAINFULLY obvious.
25th still requires 2/3 Senate vote, if POTUS states he is of sound mind and body. The same number is required to remove him through the impeachment process.
Dear House of Representatives, please Impeach Trump ASAP and let the Senate immediately begin the trial; the sooner the true Communist Traitors are exposed and hung by the neck the better.
If anybody gets strung up it will fall to us to be the ones decorating the lamp posts. One must ask, would it really be so damn hard for everyone to begin living their lives with integrity and just focus on being that City On A Hill? Pass a law with teeth making it a felony for a politician or reporter to lie.
With no statute of limitations.
There, I upgraded your shit.
At my age I’ll accept any help to improve taking a good one.
eat less fiber & more sweet breads,that’ll help–
pay the girl on the way out–
regarding statute of limitations,is there a federal statute of limitations?
i saw an article about the r&b singer r.kelly & the reason he is being charged is that in 2008 he was on trial 4 something & he obstructed justice–
Too good Kurt! When using cocaine euphemisms try working in one of my favorites: Peruvian Marching Powder.
Ala the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers & Fat Freddies’ Cat’s Mexican Odyssey? I LIKE it!
It’s all about dragging the ,Trump is illegitimate , meme around so Clinton can secure the nomination.
If somehow she doesn’t Trump wins automatically.
There will be no other issue. The NPC Democrats will be reprogrammed to accept Clinton.
When Netanyahu goes, Trump goes.
That was supposed to be yesterday, but Nutty got another 40 days before he is likely to be gone.
You cannot objectively assess this scenario and believe, “It’s totally normal.
Actually, it IS normal and has been going on in America for decades. How else do you explain people with no actual experience getting into government and becoming multi-millionaires? Do we like it, HELL NO, but nobody seems to ever do anything about it.
Until, hopefully now.
