Impeach Him If You Like, but for the Love of God, Stop Pretending You Care about the Constitution

Perhaps Donald Trump deserves to be impeached for his Ukrainian adventure. Heck, maybe he deserves to be impeached for sending that insanely entertaining letter yesterday. But those are political considerations for Democrats. Impeaching the president isn’t a Constitutional imperative. Nor is it a patriotic obligation. Democrats, who today ludicrously wrap themselves in the patina of “rule of law,” know this well. Not very long ago, they were rationalizing and cheerleading unprecedented abuses of power under the Obama administration. And they’ll be cheerleading for more abuses of the Constitution the next time they win the White House.

Nancy Pelosi can dress in black, recite the Pledge of Allegiance, and act as if this impeachment is her solemn obligation, but everyone saw the Democratic party’s hysterical reaction to the 2016 election. Everyone saw dozens of candidates running in 2018 — either implicitly, but most often explicitly — on getting rid of the president. Just last week we learned that people within our intelligence agencies subverted the law to help Democrats concoct a three-year national panic meant to undermine the veracity of a fair election.

Somebody finally said it, thank you. It has been making my skin crawl hearing them fawn all over the Constitution, when they constantly are trying to obliterate it, and render it worthless.

Same goes for Nancy's fake Catholic values that she holds near and dear to her heart, when she deems it convenient to do so.

For years Satan couldn’t decide which party he wanted to control but it looks like he made up his mind and succeeded.

First 'free speech zone' was at DNC Convention in Atlanta 1988.

Here is the free speech zone during 2004 DNC Convention.

They are just so solemn and righteous. And so utterly full of shit. They are nauseating. Projectile vomit worthy.

Indeed. To hear Nancy Pelosi speaking of The Constitution, not to mention her Catholicism, is the height of hypocrasy.

Maybe we can take heart that she’ll erupt in spontaneous combustion after one of her whopping lies. Of course, the plastic and the teeth would survive.

And no one really complained about being caged. I remember that.

Every time they open their sanctimonious yaps I want to puke.
