Prickly City by Scott Stantis for December 28, 2019

Well, after the Mango Mussolini is indicted, convicted and jailed, right there with you.

If we survive the next year…

If the next election isn’t “rigged” again by the Russians and their stooge republicans…

He’s already been impeached. I’m sure they could add another article or two. He’s certainly filled their stockings to overflowing with his criminality.

Whether one agrees with federal law or not, it is a crime to solicit assistance for a federal campaign from a foreign government.

As well, the crime of bribery consists of a government official refraining from performing a legal duty until a thing of value is delivered to him.

Trump admits he held up the $391 million.

He admits he asked for a favor from the Ukrainian president.

And he admits that the favor was to dig up dirt on Joe Biden and his son.

He even gilded the lily by publicly asking the Chinese government to investigate Biden.

Enter Attorney General William Barr. After knowledge of the presidential holdup of the $391 million in aid to Ukraine became public, the president asked Barr for a formal legal opinion that dirt on a political opponent is not a thing of value.

Barr had his researchers and writers in the Office of Legal Counsel oblige. That legal opinion, which Trump has touted as a form of exoneration, has been so widely mocked in legal and political circles – because dirt on an opponent is the most valuable commodity for a political campaign, and candidates pay dearly for it – that congressional Republicans have stopped referring to it. They know better.

If he didn’t want to be impeached, why did he make his skin the color of one?

Like the Trump administration, the impeachment has lasted too long, and caused too much damage to the nation, and created too much division, and ignorance of facts, and reality.

I’m gonna hit the highway like a battering ram

On a silver-black phantom bike

When the metal is hot, and the engine is hungry

And we’re all about to see the light

Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole,

And everything is stunted and lost

And nothing really rocks, and nothing really rolls,

And nothing’s ever worth the cost

Well I know that I’m damned if I never get out,

And maybe I’m damned if I do,

But with every other beat I’ve got left in my heart

You know I want to be damned with you
