Coronavirus Swept Away America’s Impeachment ‘Hangover’ but Important Lessons Remain

The dust has settled on impeachment but only as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Otherwise, the American public would still be subject to a relentless and exhausting rehashing of why President Trump should not have been acquitted by the Senate after the House of Representatives failed to convince the upper chamber on abuse of power charges.

Now the pundits are pontificating and prognosticating ad nauseam about silly things like whether or not referring to the virus’s geographic origin (Wuhan, China) is racist. Meanwhile, the public continues to suffer as Congress waffles on the passage of legislation critical to the federal and state response to curtail the outbreak. And while this has led to important and cerebral conversations about the exact role government should play in what used to be considered the most basic and essential functions of the federal government, Americans are pulling themselves together one community at a time, leaning on their state governments, and weathering the viral storm.

But America is at risk of being capsized the clutches of the usual partisan bullshit. Congress clamors to pack round after round of emergency legislation with pet projects and nongermane spending. The people see through gamesmanship and partisanship. Few in Congress actually do.

ELECTED PRESIDENT also enabled/brought in Coronavirus COV-2

The dust has settled for now, but with the calling for a board of inquiry into how COVID-19 Wuhan virus managed to spread so far, is but yet another attempt to bring NEW articles of impeachment against Donald J. Trump. This is being ramped up early so maybe they have something in Trump’s second term to hit him hard and fast.

More than ever, turning the House back to Republican control, and keeping control of the Senate, have assumed paramount importance. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer both should be kept from assuming further influence, and be reduced to the ciphers they are.

Impeachment distracted Trump from other very important business, like learning the realities about departments like CDC.

Clintons were in bed with Chi comm’s.

What D’rats have $$$ relationships with China?

Hang it all on D’rats. Every opportunity. Ceaselessly.

The liberal/socialist playbook: Saul Alinsky’s rules for radicals.

Google them and you will find out what the libs are doing in this case, every past case since the 80’s, and you’ll be able to predict the future. It really is very simple because it is consistent. And the first ones to really let them out in the open were the Clintons after they left the White House. Hilary was a corresponding student of them with Alinsky. And in 1969, Hillary Rodham wrote a 92-page senior thesis for Wellesley College about community organizer Saul Alinsky entitled “There Is Only the Fight . . . “: An Analysis of the Alinsky Model.

The reaction of this current Wohan flu is an economic impeachment against capitalism...

...and President Trump is the tip of the spear of a good economy. This is all about fulfilling Soros’s version of globalism.

You nailed it. Impeachment is on the table again.
Congressional Democrats will see how far they can push the COVID-hysteria.

The greater problem is Schiff wanting ANOTHER investigation and impeachment over the Wuhan virus handling. WHILE the pandemic is going on.

We could argue the first impeachment distracted from the early stages of the Chinese virus pandemic.

A new investigation definitely would.
