Shameless Vanity: How Impeachment Should Be (and is being) Conducted.
Weird Content (but TRUE!) | 10/24/2019 | By Laz A. Mataz

As to the impeachment of President Trump:

We should hold a secret vote to convict in the Senate1, after we vote to impeach by secret testimony2 in closed meetings3, where secret whistle-blowers4 testify anonymously5 about secret evidence6 with changing thresholds for what constitutes a 'crime'.7

Could you even imagine if it were able to come down that way?

There’d definitely be a lot of unrest of Trump got impeached with such brazen impunity, but it would be the mystery of the century trying to figure out exactly which Senators secretly voted to impeach/remove. I’d imagine there’d be a lot of election chaos in the subsequent few years. Perhaps a fair number of thrown incumbencies.

It's happening, all of it, except the secret Senate vote.

And who knows about that one?

...because democracy dies in darkness.

And nobody wants democracy to die more than Democrats.

Super interesting. Thanks for the ping.

Pretty sure a “secret” Senate vote is not gonna happen.

In the meantime, the theatrics are amazing. I don’t see how some of these derps (Schiff-for-brains, for example) can say what they say without bursting into laughter. Or their pants bursting into flame.

If there is an impeachment vote resulting from this Star Chamberit will be illegitimate

However, this is just another scam to raise money from a bunch of deluded supporters, who really are loons

Thanks! Google is making it harder and harder to find old news, so it was more work than usual.
