Unforeseen Contingencies

We'll return to ultrarunning soon, but first, a quick note on the shenanigans being overseen by the Wicked Witch of the House, Nancy Pelosi.

Less than a week after the election of November 8, 2016, the Democrats were taking about impeaching President-elect Donald Trump.  These damned fools and thugs have finally ginned themselves up to it.  The "Russian collusion" charge collapsed, so now it's the "Ukrainian conspiracy" against the obviously corrupt and apparently senile Joe Biden.  Biden publicly admits to threatening Ukraine with cancellation of a promised one billion dollar loan unless a prosecutor who was investigating Burisma (the firm that employed his son) was fired.  The Democrats thus charge Trump, who made no similar threats, with "quid pro quo" wheelings and dealings, even though the transcript of his discussion with Zelensky contains nothing of the sort.  There's not even a request for Zelensky to investigate the matter.

The "whistleblower" charge was clearly cooked up in advance, including the predated changing of the rules to allow "whistleblowers" to report second hand information, information that is not relevant to national security.

This is just more of the deep state-MSM-democrat coup.  It has nothing to do with preserving liberty, or rule of law, or anything else that's good.  It's about their continuing outrage that the fundamental transformation of America into a socialist state has been blocked.  Everyone who voted to proceed with this groundless impeachment inquiry is an enemy of liberty and an enemy of America.  It's unfortunate, but we should think of them as enemies, because that's what they've chosen to become.

I've followed elections in the United States since Nixon defeated Humphrey.  I've never before seen an election where the candidates of one party campaign on the harms they'll inflict on the voters of the other party, should they be elected.  One of them, the hapless Robert O'Rourke, claimed all of us who support President Trump are racists.  There were no objections from the rest of that thuggish field.  They promise to take away our cars, our energy,our health care, our guns, our money, and our freedom of speech.  These are really bad people.

This fevered quest for impeachment is now driven by the Dems' fear that they cannot win a fair election in 2020.  They intend to lie, cheat, threaten, and do anything else they can to steal the election.  Bad people...and they must be stopped, if freedom is to be saved.
