I almost never talk politics here. Not sure why except that I prefer to keep this space as personal and intimate as possible, and politics takes away from that.

But I can’t think of a single thing in my usual wheelhouse to write about at this moment, and so I am going to talk politics and world affairs until something more apropos occurs to me, or until I hit my word limit, whichever comes first.

Besides. We live in interesting times. The kind that future historians will study and debate endlessly because the story is so horrifying and absurd, and will no doubt have ramifications for the future coming out the ying yang.

Like the Watergate era with a lobotomy.

Myself, I am enjoying the heck out of watching Trump’s ship burn down to the waterline and sink slowly into an inky morass. Sure, it’s not exactly good for America – that shutdown shit was crazytown even for Trump – but now that it is over and his leadership has been fatally wounded by his caving in to the evil forces of logic, reason, common sense, and basic human decency, I can resume thoroughly enjoying the non stop schadenfreude buffet slash orgy that the Trump White House has become since the mid term elections swept the Democrats into power in the House.

The House of Reprentatives, that is. Whose members are called congresspeople. Even though Congress is the House PLUS the Senate.

I am telling you, nothing about the American system makes any goddamned sense

Meanwhile, across the pond, Teresa May continues to be the Kim Campbell of the UK. Like our dear Kim (technically Canada’s first female PM), Teresa May is a nice but fundamentally dull person entirely unsuited to the role of Prime Minister who only got the role because the office had become so goddamned polluted by that time that only an idiot would take on the job of cleaning up the collosal mess left by the supernatural level incompetence of the previous male PM.

I have to admit, I was tres surprised when, after her Brexit plan was shot down with great vigor and vitriolic vehemence in the House of Commons, she somehow survived a vote of no confidence.

That means that a lot of the people in her own party who hated her plan so much they voted against it nevertheless want her to stay in power and try to fix things.

Seems almost cruel, really. I can only assume that none of her Tory cronies want to have to do the job themselves and even the dimmest of them must understand that if there was an election now, they would lose absolutely everything.

After all, they started the whole bloody thing.

And when I say everything, I mean everything. I will always cherish my memories of the night Mulroney’s Progressive Conservatives lost all but two seats, and those two were both held by politicans so beloved by their constituents that they could have run for the Purple Elephant Penis Party and still won.

Back to Trump. (It always comes back to Trump. )

I think impeachment is a real possibility now. Previous to the shutdown, I would have agreed with the general feeling that impeachment was impossible because Mitch “The Bitch” McConnell, corrupt bastard that he is, would never even let an impeachment motion go to a vote on the Senate floor.

But Trump threw Mitch under the bus multiple times, and Mitch, reports suggest, is super goddamned pissed off about it. Not only that, but as the shutdown lingered on and became extremely unpopular even amongst Republicans, it was Mitch’s bitch ass in the dunking booth as every GOP Senator and their girlfriend’s dog hollering for Mitch to Do Something About The Situation.

So he did. Rumour has it he’s the one who really gave Trump an earful on multiple occasions in the days leading up to the end of the shutdown.

In fact, Mitch the Chinless Wonder might actually be single-handedly responsible for the shutdown ending. So, props for that, you obscene homonculus.

So Mitch knows he can kick Trump’s ass if he has to, and by the primitive reptile-brain rules of moron conservatives (but I repeat myself), that means he can’t respect Trump any more and desires to see him replaced by a stronger leader.

And that means Mitch might decide to let that motion to remove Trump from office go through to a vote after all.

After all, it’s not like our Parliamentary system, where the only way to take down the PM is to take down their party and force an election.

All that would happen is that Pence would take over. From the point of view of reptillian Reptard like Mitch the Bitch, that’s perfectly fine.

Pence would have to be way easier to work with and way less embarrassing than Trump. I mean, how could he not be?

The bar for that is set so low the bottom of it sticks out into China.

Impeachment might also be the only way to save the Republican Party from total oblivion. Remember, Mulroney was so toxic that his party, the Progressive Conservatives, ceased to be. It died after a long lingering illness.

So yeah. I see impeachment and subsequent removal from office as a real possibility, and the only thing that could stop it for sure would be Trump resigning.

And I am pretty sure that is what he would do the minute it became clear that he was going to actually answer questions about, like, SO MANY THINGS.

Apparently, if you’re a billionaire and incredibly spoiled (but I repeat myself), and senile but in denial about it, you stop thinking about whether something is illegal or not and do all kinds of illegal shit without covering your tracks at all because you have genuinely forgotten that bad things like being arrested can ever happen to you.

So it’s a real horse race between all the many, many. MANY illegal and otherwise shady things he has done as to which one will actually be the thing that brings him down.

The easy money is on the Russia stuff, of course, because treason. But honestly, it could be a lot of other things too.

I would hate to be Robert Mueller right now. How do you keep up with it all?

Well that’s my words for today, folks.

I promise to go back to my endless navel gazing tomorrow.

I will talk to you nice people again tomorrow.
