Impeachment Light?
President Andrew Johnson was impeached in 1868 after the House voted on eleven articles of impeachment. While the main charge was "high crimes and misdemeanors," and mostly revolved around the Tenure of Office Act (firing and replacing cabinet without the consent of Congress), other articles focused on "unlawful intent to control the disbursements of the...

Tinfoil Foiled
The tinfoil hat club got foiled. They got hoisted on their own petard, not that any of them knows what "hoisted" means or what a "petard" is. Since he "won" the election, Trump has been screaming that the Russia investigation was a huge hoax, never should have happened, a coup attempt, illegal, an attempt to... Continue Reading →

If you support Donald... Continue Reading →
Ruh-Roh Rudy
While on his "rogue" tour of Europe seeking conspiracy theories to aid Trump's reelection and impeachment defense, Rudy Giuliani blew the "no quid pro quo" defense out of the water. From Ukraine, where he refused to admit he was after admitting he was there, Rudy tweeted, "The conversation about corruption in Ukraine was based on... Continue Reading →
Fun With Faux Outrage
The party that gave us baby jails is outraged that a liberal college professor would inject Trump's youngest child, Barron, into politics and make jokes at his expense. Except the college professor didn't do that. Constitutional law expert Pamela Karlan was testifying before the House Judiciary Committee to give her opinions on impeachment. While answering...

Tickle Me NATO
Do you remember Trump's campaign promise to make the world laugh at us to the point that he'd leave NATO summits early in a snit? Me neither. In fact, Trump claimed that under Obama, the world was laughing at us and his presidency would end it. And then...the world literally laughed in his face. During... Continue Reading →
Moo Trouble For Devin
Congressman and ranking member of the Intelligence Committee Devin Nunes is suing CNN. If you're on Devin's side, you should hope this lawsuit goes better than his cow lawsuit. Devin Nunes sued a cow. Actually, he sued a fictional cow over a satirical Twitter account named "Devin Nunes' Cow." He's also sued Twitter over an... Continue Reading →
