4502 Enough!

“Someday, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this ... as a gift on my daughter's wedding day.” -- Fictional olive oil importer Vito Corleone.

It’s time to impeach president trump. We’ve put up with this un-elected madman long enough. It’s going to take forever and a day to undo the damage -- if ever we can.

And, yes, yes, the Senate will never convict and remove and that doesn’t matter. Why? Because the Republicans in the Senate will expose themselves as the cowards and unindicted co-conspirators that they are.

McConnell? Enjoying the quadrupling of his net worth over the last two years? How’d THAT happen?  Someone should form an Internal Affairs Division like the cops do.  The question is how does a Senator on a salary in the $200,000 range live the kind of lifestyle Moscow Mitch does.

Romney? The supposed voice of traditional republicanism? ‘C’mon. He waffles like box of Eggos and does nothing.  The best he can do is call all this stuff “troubling.”  Mitt! Tripping over an untied shoelace is troubling.  A moderately long power failure is troubling. Psoriasis is troubling. This is not that. It’s worse.  It’s much worse.

Those are two Senators whose names everyone knows. But kick over any rock and you’ll find some worm you haven’t heard of but whose support empowers, enables and facilitates the damage that’s done to America and to American values with every breath the president takes and with every Twitter tweet.

As with Nixon, the corruption is in the coverup. In this case, trump is said to have frozen promised aid to Ukraine.  Later, he and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky spoke on the phone and Mr. art of the deal at the very least allowed him to infer that the funds wouldn’t thaw until Ukraine investigated Joe Biden and his son Hunter and came up with some dirt.

Biden is the opposition candidate trump most fears. And with good reason.  For all his flaws, he’s likely the most electable of the possible Democratic candidates.

So, what, here is an impeachable offense?  Let all those people with law degrees figure it out.

Enough of this madness.  Enough of embracing our enemies and screwing our allies.  Enough of embracing people with enough money to buy their own countries and screwing the working man and women that live in yours and mine.

Enough of breaking up families and caging the children.

Enough of the nominator of incompetent and unqualified cabinet secretaries.

Enough of nominating Supreme Court Justices who can’t keep their pants on.

Enough woman bashing.

Enough payoffs.

Enough lies.

Enough self enrichment extracted from anyone who wants an audience with his holiness.

Enough multimillion-dollar golf weekends.

Enough of the birther, the caller of names, he who rallies and riles the brain dead.
