Misdemeanors


Our Founding Fathers crafted an incredible document ... our Constitution. However they made a few mistakes ... the most important was including the word ‘misdemeanors’ in what qualifies as grounds for presidential impeachment. Obviously the meaning of this word has changed over our country’s existence ... a parking ticket can be a misdemeanor today ... so this slip might be forgiven. However, this one word has turned what should be a serious criminal matter into a political food fight. Presidents should only be removed for demonstrable and heinous high crimes like bribery, treason and serious felonies.

Trying to remove a duly-elected President for policy disagreements with the administrative ruling class (Deep State if you wish) is national suicide. The political elites think that the American people are stupid in the affairs of state. Their wishes can be given lip service in campaigns ... but such promises are not to be taken seriously once elected.

Politicians show no shame in misleading their voters ... after all, their voters are deplorable ... clinging to their bibles and their guns. They cannot be redeemed and, therefore, must be misled. The real business of government must be a continuation of the world order that has been crafted by the Davos elites and by the likes of George Soros ... after all money talks and hyphenated Americans have been and should continue to be loyal worker bees serving the queen and her drones.

The proof of this drone class in Washington was best demonstrated recently when those filling $800 bleacher seats for last week’s Washington National’s World Series game booed Trump the same day that our Special Forces took out that ISIS leader al-Baghdadi. Yes, they were booing Trump's sandpaper style ... but, even more so, this stadium of well-paid swamp creatures were booing the man who wants to change the way things are done in Washington ... a way that has accepted our nation’s decline and eventual (hopefully, not in their lifetimes) subjugation.

This policy u-turn, clearly, is Trump’s misdemeanor ... and he must be tarred and feathered and ...  you know the rest.

There is another interpretation of what the founders mean't by the phrase "high crimes and misdemeanors." High is not referring to the severity of the offense, but rather to the position of the officeholder. At that time, government officials were held to a higher standard than ordinary citizens. The analogy to a parking ticket is fallacious.
When you supported the impeachment of Bill Clinton, it wasn't for lying, it was for Oval Office blowjobs. And don't quibble about "lying under oath." The President is always bound by his Oath of Office - and telling more than 12,000 lies as President is not protected by the first amendment.

I think the most recent count is 12,375.

Perjury is a felony in most states and Billy Bob committed it a a “high” official. And as it turned out he also suborned perjury too. And if one applies modern #MeToo standards, Trump was as a Epstein-like slimeball. However, maybe in retrospect, the Republicans should have backed off ... maybe. At least, since then he has lost his bubba luster.
