The Morning Briefing: Impeachment and a House Divided Perhaps Forever
Article by Stephen Kruiser in "PJMedia":
If, as the great Abraham
Lincoln once said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand," then
the American experiment may well and truly be hosed.
The House finally got around to making the latest witch hunt formal, voting mostly along party lines to move the impeachment inquiry forward.
I
use to be one of those "Hey, we survived the Civil War, we'll get
through this" optimists when it came to America's future. This past year
may not have killed that optimism, but it has worn it down a bit.
There
isn't an adult of sound mind in this country who sees all of this
playing out in a way that sees a bunch of Republicans finally deciding
that the president needs to go or the Democrats finally admitting defeat
in their attempts to prematurely oust him.
Face
it, we don't like each other much anymore, the Right and Left in
America. We've been heading towards this for a while. I blame Hillary
Clinton, partially because she's so adept at being unlikeable, but
mostly because I believe she is more than likely Satan's latest
incarnation on Earth.
Just my opinion.
Granny
Maojackets has spent the last three years fortifying herself with boxes
of Franzia and remaining in the public eye to make sure Democrats
continue to believe that the result of the 2016 election was
illegitimate.
Her flying monkeys in the mainstream media have made sure that the message keeps buzzing in the air.
They
are all responsible for creating this permanently dysfunctional family
atmosphere in the U.S. and Thanksgiving dinners will never be the same
again.
The Democrats could remove Trump from office tomorrow and they wouldn't be happy. Liberals are never happy.
They could take the White House back next year and not be satisfied because see above.
Here on the Right, we've all been called violent Nazis one too many times to just want to make nice with our accusers.
It's a mess, people.
Next
year's election was going to be more contentious than usual anyway.
Now, this impeachment drama will add an extra helping of dislike on each
side just to turn the emo dial up to 11.
Perhaps
the best way to navigate these turbulent waters is to greatly modify
expectations, which is a coping mechanism I've found to be most useful
as I've gotten older. Rather than hope I can get along with a lot of
liberals I'll just take it on a case-by-case basis and hope I can find a
few who don't irritate me too much.
Starting with the ones who like whiskey.
