Clay Bennett for December 25, 2019

Trump would have ICE on him as soon as he approached the border.

The best belated Christmas gift will be if the Senate votes in favor of the impeachment to. But with his friend leading them…

It occurs to me that Trumpspeak is related to the concept of Orwell’s Newspeak: Whittle down the vocabulary of your language so that everything you favor, especially yourself, is a positive superlative, e.g. tremendous, beautiful, the greatest in history, and other flashy but empty phrases. Everything you do not favor, no matter how petty, is an extreme negative, e.g. crazy, lyin’, treasonous.

Choose the correct mixture of extremes, connected to constant smearing of facts, admit of no contradiction of even the most blatant distortions and outright falsehoods — and there is is the dark brilliance of every Trump utterance. And this is most effective as spoken, because written down verbatim, it is much gibberish and many non sequiturs.

And yet, the most effective rebuttal techniques of the past don’t seem to counteract it: Logical reasoning, opposing opinion editorials, published fact checks, even satire and outright ridicule. Instead people who should no better, lawyers, businessmen and supposed moral religious leaders support it.

A poisonous political smog of not-truth has descended on the country and the world, and how is it to be dispersed if some insist it is fresh air, even as they incessantly cough?

What happened to Peace on Earth, Goodwill to All Men?… give it a break, folks!

Merry Christmas and a fair and objective Senate Impeachment trial that all Americans feel is just.

Let us keep Christmas in our hearts,

And in our minds, and in our souls,

While the rotten GOP finds out

For whom the bell yet tolls. :)

(I think the smiley face keeps it light, don’t you?)

Too bad Grinch McConnell is gonna LET HIM GET AWAY WITH HIS TREASON!!!!

No cheering before conviction, otherwise the arrogant ass will strut around like an hormone charged peacock screaming he won, he won….

Hope & pray this headline becomes”Trump removed from office”…..

Why just stop at one, let’s go for double impeachment !

The news of the Senate voting against removal will come in a flaming bag.

But the Grinch is minding the store with the full force of the government defending it.

Don’t feel sorry for trump….he got a very nice Christmas card from putin.

1. Impeachment 2. Conviction 3. IMPRISONMENT !!!!!!

Sing the song, but instead of “my two front teeth”, sing “the pres impeached”

‘There is a Santa Claus.’ Yea, but there is a Mitch also – possibly the Mitch that stole Christmas.

Oh yeah ♥♥♥
