SEASONS GREETINGS! TRUMP ON XMAS TEAR OVER IMPEACHMENT

Donald Corruption Trump lashed out Tuesday as his Senate impeachment trial remains at an impasse, with Republican and Democratic leaders at odds over its format and whether witnesses should be called.

Speaking at his private club in Palm Beach, Florida, after a teleconference call with troops stationed across the globe, Trump singled out Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is indefinitely holding up sending the articles of impeachment the House passed last week to the Republican-controlled Senate.


Schumer is demanding witnesses who refused to appear during House committee hearings, including acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and former national security adviser John Bolton.

McConnell, who has all but promised a swift acquittal of the president, has resisted making any guarantees, and has cautioned Trump against seeking the testimony of witnesses for fear of prolonging the trial. Instead, McConnell appears to have secured Republican support for his plans to impose a framework drawn from the 1999 impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton.

After all, Donald Trump would have had baby Jesus snatched right out of that manger and slapped in a cage.

My cynical side says that they would all fit in a compact car.

My hopeful side says there will be enough of them to help Trump lose in 2020 no matter how much cheating the GOP does.
