Counting the Days until Impeachment

The impeachment of Bill Clinton in 1999

During most of 2017 I was enraged by the dt presidency.  It shouldn't be happening.

I was angry that the 2016 election had been stolen by: 

  • James Comey playing up the Clinton emails
  • voter intimidation and disenrollment in certain states
  • Russian bots posing as Americans and posting lies about Hillary Rodham Clinton on Facebook and Twitter
  • Other lies targeting right-wing voters
  • Bill Clinton's mistake of talking to Attorney General Loretta Lynch

All of the above is still true, but now there are other deceptive measures to add to the list:


The president and his campaign have broken so many laws and told so many lies that it's just a matter of time until the House impeaches him.

Here are some others who agree with me:

I'm not worried any more.  The need to attend a demonstration calling for his impeachment is over. Yes, this administration continues to damage the nation in many ways every day, but the end is in sight. 

Mid-term elections are coming up in seven months, and all indications are that afterward there will be enough votes in the House to impeach dt.

The investigation into Russian collusion in the election continues apace, and eventually Mueller will calmly state, "Checkmate."

A falling stock market will trigger Trump's fall even if the Congress doesn't act.

Trump and his White House have shrunk in my eyes to a source of entertainment.  Shocking new words or actions emerge every day. It's almost fun to see the latest ludicrous developments.

"Honey, I shrank the president," someone tweeted after Karen McDougal told her story to 60 Minutes about her ten-month affair with dt.

He's shrinking more every day.  

I'm no longer angry at him or obsessed by him--just saddened by the whole sordid mess.
