If an Impeach Tree Falls in the Forest

Happy impending second night of Hanukkah and happy eve of Christmas Eve to all our readers around the world. Almost every political leader in the west issues a pro forma Hanukkah greeting these days, but Boris Johnson's is unusually substantive and a not so implicit rebuke to the party opposite.

~A fellow called "Redrum" (not the late steeplechaser, I assume) left a comment on my YouTube page on Friday:

The president of the United States just got impeached and you put out no video?

Indeed, I don't. Mr "Redrum" has his own YouTube channel and he "put out no video" either. By comparison with the only two impeachment processes of the mass-media era, the indifference of the public to last Wednesday's "historic" vote is palpable. The mutual support groups of Beltway Democrats and media are hot for it, because they hate Trump the most, because he made them look like fools that Tuesday night three Novembers ago. But, as I suggested to John Oakley last week, the Dems' most energetic constituency - youngish hardcore leftists of a Bernie/AOC bent - isn't aroused by Adam Schiff's SCIF skit ...because they want free college, open borders, socialist health care, and impeachment may be an amusing diversion for loser MSNBC hacks but it doesn't actually get America any closer to that blessed utopia.

Which impeachment is Nancy doing now?

Schrödinger's Cat Impeachment: As Nancy refuses to hand over impeachment to the Senate, Trump might be both Impeached and Not Impeached at the same time.

Seinfeld Impeachment: An impeachment about NOTHING.

The ObamaCare Impeachment: The House passes the Articles of Impeachment first then they figure out what they did doesn't work and hands them off to Chief Justice Roberts to fix, at trial, in the Senate.

The Rorschach Test Impeachment: Throw ink against the hearing room wall and interpret it in any way you want. It can be treason to some, bribe to others, and a perfectly legal exercise of the Separation of Powers to others.

The 6th Sense Impeachment: Where the audience (the American people) finds out at the end, the Articles of Impeachment were dead the whole time.

The Wizard of Oz Impeachment: Nancy threatens impeachment of Trump (.....and his little dog, too!) for killing Witch Hillary in the 2016 election. Nancy sends out her flying monkeys, led by Schiff and Nadler, to do her dirty work. In the end, Nancy get doused with water in the next election and melts down.

The Einstein Insanity Impeachment: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

The Susan Rice Impeachment: Impeached because of an obscure YouTube video. Based on repetitive themes, it may become a remake of "Ground Hog Day".

The Caveman Impeachment: Representative Al Green "I'm concerned that if we don't impeach this president, he will get reelected...." Impeachment so easy, a caveman can do it.

The Flaming Bags of Dog Poop Impeachment: Nancy sets fire to a flaming bag of dog poop at the front door of the Senate, but delays ringing the doorbell. This buys time for Schiff and Nadler to put together a second bag of flaming dog poop. Nancy sets up the second bag of dog poop at the back door of the Senate. Sooner or later, Nancy rings the front doorbell. Mitch stamps out the fire at the front door. Then Nancy rings the doorbell at the Senate's back door, forcing Mitch to track dog poop throughout the Senate. Mitch stamps out the second flaming bag of dog poop, getting his shoes even dirtier. (This seems to be the most accurate predicted plan for Impeachment.)

If the House passes a tax bill and delays sending it to the Senate, there is NO tax bill. How could the Executive branch enforce a tax bill that wasn't passed to the Senate and signed into law by the POTUS?

Trump is NOT impeached.
