Withdrawal of U.S. Forces from Afghanistan on 9/11
President Biden set a date certain for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan. It’s September 11. The Taliban have yet to RSVP.
Room Temperature Impeachment Targets
Given that Donald Trump is out of office, and apparently need not be present to win – or lose, could room temperature impeachments become the next big lockdown hit? Let’s dig up some oldies but goodies, and not so goodies, for the scarlet “I”.
Room Temperature Impeachment
How about Earl Warren? He was a popular impeachment target in the South when there was real systemic racism Jim Crow style.
Andrew Johnson must be spinning in his grave now that Trump has doubled his impeachment total.
Or how about Richard Nixon? He wrangled a resignation and pardon from his successor President Gerald Ford. Maybe Trump could have worked the same deal with his loyal vice president – the ” weak,” “pathetic“,”unpatriotic,” “pussy” Mike Pence.
Or not.
Citizen Trump Impeachment Trial Underway
The Citizen Trump impeachment trial is off and running under the watchful eye of Senator Patrick Leahy. And that’s because Chief Justice Roberts turned down the gig. The Constitution calls for the Chief Justice to preside over presidential impeachments. But Joe Biden’s busy, so there’s no president in the room.

Equity Doesn’t Mean We All Get Shares of GameStop
President Biden recently signed executive orders promoting racial equity. He didn’t mention equality. Is equity the new equality? Here’s what Webster has to say about it. And here’s an illustration of the difference between the two.
And here’s what Ben Shapiro has to say about that.
Have You Ever Supported Donald Trump?
Have you ever supported Donald Trump? A lot of people have but some might be gone with the wind. In November Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, “Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future?”
No worries, AOC, people are archiving away. The archivers include the never Trump Republicans of The Lincoln Project. They’re busy filling up a database with the names of former Trump staffers. The WSJ editorial page calls it a blacklist.
The Accountability Project is also hard at work. Former Obama spokesman Hari Sevugan tweeted, “WH staff are starting to look for jobs. Employers considering them should know there are consequences for hiring anyone who helped Trump attack American values.”
