Impeachment

It has been our form of water torture, the drip, drip, drip of a President with no morality and even less idea how to govern making a mockery of his oath of office, shredding the Constitution and leaving our democracy in tatters.

From his first day in office he has proven his unfitness with his lack of preparation, his boorishness, his commitment to self preservation over fealty to country, his pulling this nation ever closer to autocracy as he maligned and minimized all those who would question or challenge his actions.

And yet, like a cat with nine lives, for every grotesque misdeed, for every revelation of abuse of his station, for every determination that he had seemingly gone a step too far, he remained defiant and unscathed. Mueller could not bring him down. And all the slings and arrows of the "fake news" cabal only proved he was stronger than any attack.

Now, with yet another head shaking, stomach churning, poke in the eye challenge to the basic precepts of the restraints placed upon a President, in his effort to blackmail Ukraine into acting as his hit man on Mr. Biden's candidacy, he has made even the most reticent of Democrats call for the head of Donald Trump.

And thus the battle begins, turning this sideshow barker turned leader of the free world into a defendant in what he will undoubtedly bill as the greatest charade on earth. 

Like a common criminal, Mr. Trump has stolen the gold of the office of President of the United States and turned it into something almost wholly unrecognizable and without value. The question is if he will now pay the price for his thievery.
