Where did the Trump impeachment go?
When House Democrats began selling tickets to their President Donald Trump Impeachment Theater -- shouting their outrage, preening on those late-night talk shows -- it was much meatier business.
It would be full of collusion with Russia, blackmail of Ukraine. It would contain extortion and go heavy on bribery.
The way the Democrats sold it, Americans were to expect some giant roast, bone in, with a rich, thick gravy, to feed a nation longing for justice from Orange Man Bad.
At least that's what Democrats promised. But that's not what they delivered for consideration for a vote by the full House, was it?
What they offered weren't High Crimes and Misdemeanors. They didn't serve up alleged crimes. Instead, they offered only attitude and rhetoric, without meat and bone.
They promised everything and yet ended up providing nothing, like air sandwiches offered to feed that angry mob they've stoked since the day Trump infuriated them by not losing the election to Hillary Clinton.
"I feel ... thin. Sort of stretched, like ... butter scraped over too much bread," said the plucky little Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, in "Lord of the Rings."
When Democrats began selling impeachment, they weren't little Hobbits, but giants to be carved in stone, with Old Glory behind them as they mouthed the words of Benjamin Franklin about saving the republic.
So, where has the impeachment gone, the impeachment that was promised?
Democrats ended up offering only two thin counts: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
But where were the serious crimes upon which to build a legitimate impeachment and convince Republicans to join them?
There are no crimes in this, only political arguments predicated on Trump's great sin:
He defeated Hillary with his 62 million deplorables, and the Democratic elites have hated him and them ever since.
The House Democratic impeachment of Trump does accomplish two things.
It drives independents to his side, even those who loathe his manner, his vulgarity and brutishness, because they see what the silkies of the left have done.
And it lowers the bar for impeachment, inviting some future Congress to impeach a president just because he defeated them.
Every president has been accused of abusing power by a Congress led by the other party. Consider Barack Obama, who promised to make his own laws when he felt like it, because, "I've got a pen, and I've got a phone."
And the obstruction of Congress count? Every president has been accused of such by the opposition party in Congress.
If House Democrats wanted to force testimony from White House officials to get them to tell what they knew about Ukraine -- something Trump as president had the right to deny them -- they had a remedy.
Go to the courts to let the third co-equal branch of government decide. But Democrats didn't want to wait for White House witnesses. They wanted drama and all they produced was farce.
Yet there was real abuse of power in this story, which starts in that debunked Russia-collusion fever dream and weaves into Trump's phone call with the Ukrainian president when he asked Ukraine to investigate the Bidens.
Abuse of power happened when Democratic presidential candidate and then-Vice President Joe Biden was Obama's point man in Ukraine.
Biden's son Hunter is a father's nightmare, a train wreck of a man. But the Ukrainian gas company Burisma didn't worry about his character or his complete lack of experience in the gas business.
Hunter was Joe Biden's son, who received at least $50,000 a month from Burisma.
Per Obama, Joe Biden had $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees for Ukraine. But he demanded that the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Burisma be fired.
"I said ... I'm leaving in six hours," Biden bragged on video. "If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money.' Well, son of a b----. He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time."
Quid. Pro. Quo.
So why were bribery and extortion removed from the Democrats' articles of impeachment? Because Joe Biden is their presidential candidate. And discussing quid pro quo, or extortion or bribery, leads right to Joe and Hunter Biden.
In liberal media accounts, Americans who see Trump Impeachment Theater as partisan hackery and farce are often belittled as morons. They're described as mindless idiots who've been sucked into the cult of Trump.
But constant media and political ridicule by the liberal elites can backfire, as it did here in working-class areas in 2016, and as it did just days ago in the United Kingdom with the overwhelming victory of Boris Johnson and the Conservatives over the Labour Party.
As it shrinks in stature, the House Democrat impeachment is beginning to resemble those much-hyped products that you find, forgotten and dusty, in the "As Sold on TV" aisle in dreary discount stores.
ShamWow, Nancy Pelosi.
Pull the Calming Comfort Blanket under your chin, Jerry Nadler.
Adam Schiff? Your easy-on Sock Slider is cheap at any price.
In another life, I trained for a career as a newspaper columnist by working as a butcher at my father's supermarket on Chicago's South Side.
I carved roasts, boned out beef necks, chopped chickens and sliced lunch meat. Some customers wanted their sausage sliced thin enough to see right through.
Like the House Democrats' impeachment of President Trump, sliced too thin, airy, with too little meat. Just butter scraped over too much bread.
This isn’t a punishment for a crime. It will be a political punishment.
Bang the gavel, dismiss the charges since there are no crimes. Bang the gavel. Adjourn.
That should be the Senate action. Zero. Don’t even play. Let the Democrats fume.
This is/was never about getting rid of him.
This is about not doing their jobs because they would be saying no to everything that is working for the American people.
This is about tarnishing the man’s agenda and slowing him down.
This is about trying to damage him to the point that he’ll be weakened going into November 2020.
All seems to be backfiring and the longer it drags on, the more dirty, criminal and corrupt information keeps coming out about them.
And now toss in some of these Dem’s that are in President Trump districts, who are voting against the will of the voters. Next year is going to be interesting.
I predict that EVERY POTUS with a House majority of the opposing party will be impeached from now until forever.
I want a long detailed trial of deep state corruption. It is the only way to get the truth out there. The MSM won’t do it.
“Bang the gavel. Adjourn.”
Democrats would be content with that.
Impeachment is the goal. Label achieved, they can misconstrue it and drive confused Trump voters away.
He’s forever tainted to their satisfaction, a triumph of word-thinking.
There is a reason tribal cultures didn’t just fend off attacks, they sought to totally destroy opponents: merely deflecting assault leaves assailants comfortable to prepare & execute more assaults.
Censure.
Eject.
Prosecute.
Etc.
Too many want it to reach the Senate for adjudication. Huge mistake. Don’t let it get that far.
The so-called ‘impeachment’ is nothing but the ongoing, pointless media wet-dream.
It’s their fantastic, pathetically adolescent, Hollywood screenplay which stars, is written by and serves media people...only.
The MSM produced this hackneyed, puerile, incessant political sit-com just to disguise their unequivocal fraud on the voters of America.
Believe it, if not Trump… then, ANY opponent to their agenda… Expect this into perpetuity.
Since the MSM is bought and paid for by the enemies of the US and since they set themselves up as the irreproachable, infallible, final judge and jury of all opponents to THEIR agenda…yup, it ain’t gonna ever end!
America, wake up and take back your schools!! THAT’S where the rot begins.

Yep - they admitted they had zero impeachable offenses when they decided to go with wire fraud and such for when he becomes a private citizen again....their hatred has them flailing and digging their own graves.
This “impeachment” is merely a dress rehearsal for the next round. The idea has been already floated. Mad Maxine will not be satisfied unless President Trump is hung, his heart ripped out and he is drawn and quartered. Even then, she’ll want to stomp on the heart on the House floor.
Wow, mom is even shuckin and jivin’ out of the way to make sure that soviet poster is in the picture.
The entire Impeachment “Show” is a complete SHAM!
so thin it only has one side
It is not merely a political punishment.
It is a moral punishment. They want to punish anyone WITH MORALS to protect those WITHOUT MORALS.
Do you believe that is even their real kitchen ? Isn’t it more believable that it took 20 studio crew members and about $10,000 to set up that kitchen ? Does the lady of the house always leave out fresh fruit cut in half ?
