Like nothing you expect.

The Night King — Game of Thrones

The call for Trump’s Impeachment is quaking the fault lines of American politics. Mueller made a strong case. Trump took his Oath of Office, shredded it, and buried the corpse in the Rose Garden. Most likely, we’ll never again have such a clear cut case for Impeachment.

The best we can say for Trump is Gross Incompetence. The worst is Crime Boss.

Me? I’m more on the Gross Incompetence tip. Crime Boss takes planning and smarts. If we got anything from Mueller, it’s Trump’s failure to conspire with Russians was because he couldn't figure out how to do it, and Putin was way too smart to be caught in a conspiracy trap with a third rate condo salesman.

I personally have no interest in Impeachment. Don’t get me wrong. I’d love to see Trump in a courtroom with judges and jury and prosecutors. But that’s not Impeachment. Impeachment is Barnum and Bailey’s Circus.

“An impeachable offense is whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history.” Gerald Ford

Trump’s Impeachment will be a Cat 8 Shit Storm of lies, deceptions, accusations, and recriminations. It’ll be a hackneyed soap opera of whining wingeing, wig shredding tantrums. Just cruise down the rutted lanes of Trump Tweets to get a coming attractions of Impeachment.

Here are my predictions for some Impeachment Highlights.

  • Lindsey Graham delivering a red-faced, impassioned speech contradicting everything he said in the 90s at Clinton’s Impeachment.
  • Mitch McConnell chortling that the Will of The People Has Spoken when he ignores everything that has been said, testified to, and evidenced, while declaring in forty point font TRUMP NOT GUILTY!!!
  • Republicans shrugging their shoulders and saying just because Trump was found with a smoking gun standing over the blood drenched corpse of Michael Cohen doesn't mean he murdered the guy and anyway, he’s really angry at everything so.

Trump has prepared his whole life for impeachment. He was born for Impeachment. The man has nearly 4000 law suits to his cred! Just this morning he sued Elijah Cummings. He wakes up every morning and claps his hands and says “Maybe today is the day I get Impeached! Can’t wait!”

“I bring out he worst in my enemies. That’s how I get them to defeat themselves.” Roy Cohn

So if you’re for Impeachment just prepare yourself. Hit the gym. Skip the coffee. Meditate. Train. Get tough. Because Trump will turn America upside down in an Impeachment process. It’ll be worse than the Night King and the Army of the Dead attacking Winterfell in Game of Thrones.

Hell, Trump is the Night King.
