Prickly City by Scott Stantis for December 21, 2019

Whenever I got to DC, I would have a lump in my throat, and say, “I’m in democracy’s hometown!”

I hope I can, again, some day.

O, America you’re calling

I can hear you calling me

You are calling me to be true to thee

True to thee… I will be

O, America you’re weeping

Let me heal your wounded heart

I will keep you in my keeping

Till there be… a new start

And I will answer you, and I will take your hand

And lead you… to the sun

And I will stand by you…do all that I can do

And we will be… as one

O, America I hear you

From your prairies to the sea

From your mountains grand, and all through this land

You are beautiful to me

And… O, America you’re calling

I can hear you calling me

You are calling me to be true to thee

True to thee… I will be

And I will answer you, and I will take your hand

And lead you… to the sun

And I will stand by you… do all that I can do

And we will be…as one

O, America you’re calling

I will ever answer thee

About 1/2 of Washington is a fertilizer factory with Pelosi as CEO and Schiff as supplier

The production of hot air in DC is epic.

Did President Trump try to use federal policy toward Ukraine to get it to announce an investigation into Joe Biden and his son Hunter?

It is pretty clear that he did, and Republican allies of Trump have put very little effort into denying it.

✄

Gordon Sondland, the Trump-appointed ambassador to the European Union, has testified that Trump “didn’t want to hear about” Ukrainian efforts against corruption and that concerns over corruption had not led to the withholding of aid from any other country within his portfolio.

✄

Congress has impeached many officials for misconduct not involving statutory crimes, and included non-crimes in its efforts to impeach Presidents Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Clinton.

✄

It might be possible to regard Trump’s Ukraine misadventure as a lapse of judgment, with little harm done, if he showed any repentance or even understanding of what he has done wrong.

Instead it looks more like a window into tendencies of his that are incompatible with performing the functions of his office.

✄

The Constitution provides for impeachment and removal to protect us from officials, including presidents, who are unable or unwilling to distinguish between the common good that government is supposed to serve and their own narrow interests.

Though he has done some good things in office, Trump is just such a president. Congress should act accordingly.

Come on, what trouble does the Washington Monument make?

RealDonaldTrump: A total Witch Hunt!

Putin says Trump was impeached for ‘far-fetched’ reasons

~

I ask you…

If you can’t trust former KGB foreign intelligence officer Lieutenant Colonel Putin, who can you trust?

See? This is exactly the attitude that brings us things like Trump and McConnell.

Indeed.com lists 341 factory Jobs currently available in the DC area.

There is a factory there. It’s called Big Government.

Do you really want to leave creation and enforcement of all laws and regulations to the states?

Could we send Putin’s puppets back to Russia as his pet nitwits? Shipping them COD would also be a nice touch.
