Making a Sham of Impeachment

"Laws are like sausages," Otto von Bismarck supposedly said. "It is better not to see them being made."

Suffering through far too many hours of the House impeachment this week reminded me of the truth of that political quip.

Making laws is a dirty, smelly, partisan, often corrupt business, even in the best democratic republics.

When we kick the crap out of them next November we won't have to worry about anything coming from them but the inevitable wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Schiffty is making a sham out of all politics. He is despicable along with Nanc.

Don’t forget the rending of their garments. That’s fun to watch also.

If you don't think those important quid pro quos benefited the domestic political fortunes of the presidents who made them, you're living in the same fantasy world as the Democrats and the liberal media who think presidential history started this morning.

I think a large part of what is driving the shampeachment is that DemocRATs are so focused on doing only that which benefits them politically, that they cannot conceive of the idea that someone might actually enact policy that benefits the country. The idea is utterly foreign to them. So when they have "witnesses" to testify on what they think President Trump's motives are, they are incapable of understanding that not one of the witnesses actually revealed any ethics violations on the part of the President. Because they themselves would not enact any policy that does not involve personal gain, they see everyone as corrupt.
