My not-viral, but-still-impressed-me tweet.

This is from like two weeks ago. Currently the 6 or 7 ring circus that is impeachment is still incredibly boring and pointless.

I didn't actually mean to defend Donald Trump. I meant to point out the ridiculousness of Nancy Pelosi. But I think this came off more as a defense of Trump. Whatever. I mean, it's not wrong.

If you know me, you know that I am not a Trump fan, but I'm unflinchingly conservative in my political views. Therefore, I was trying to get the point across that this impeachment is just a goal-post-moving, waste-of-time turkey trail that is meant to generate headlines and sway independent voters. (I don't think it's working?)

Also, I tweeted this while I was getting ready to take a nap.

I might have even punctuated it wrong.

Oh well.

The point is that you can't ask someone to prove they are innocent after you've accused them of a crime and, failing that, claim they're guilty of a charge on which no one is very clear to begin with.

That is an actual witch hunt.

The common practice back in the day was to throw suspected witches into ponds, and if they floated, they're guilty. If they sunk, they're innocent, but they drowned so oh well. They were suspected and suspected is as good as guilty when trying witches. And suspected is as good as guilty in 2019 politics as well.

My short-lived Twitter fame:





If you want to follow me, it's almost all political, a little bit of sports and TV, and sometimes something funny or dog-related.

Are you on Twitter? It's a cesspool sometimes but it's like 17+ levels up from Facebook.

  2. You are now Twitter famous! I don't follow politics at all, but based on what you just said, yes, it does sound like a witch hunt. (PS. I am also conservative... glad to find another LOL)
