January 21, 2021 Buck Banks

3 days

Playbook: “We knew Democrats and Republicans were ready to turn the page on Trump ASAP — we just didn’t realize how quickly. We’ve heard from multiple Hill sources that lawmakers have privately discussed the possibility of a three-day impeachment trial for Trump, which would be the fastest of any such procedure for a president. (Past presidential impeachments have ranged from as short as 21 days to as long as 83.) Of course, Trump is an EX-president, so ….”

Donald Trump owns a distinction no predecessor has attained.
He earned it through sedition, encitement and bloodstains.
Though not an honor o’er which he’ll gloat,
History will nonetheless ever note
That President Donald J. Trump has been impeached — again!

The listeners were the problem, says Trump, in retrospect.
Without the listeners, he could speak his mind, unchecked.
Now that will stop,
No one will eavesdrop,
And all Trump’s calls with foreign leaders will be absolutely “perfect.”

He Said It!

OK, we all knew the Senate was going to acquit,
And that truth and justice had nothing to do with it.
Though Trump’s still aggrieved,
And we’re feeling peeved,
We admit we agreed when he said, “It was all bullshit.”

Yovanovitch: ‘Our Institutions Need Us’

February 6, 2020 Buck Banks

“I had always thought that our institutions would forever protect us against individual transgressors. But it turns out that our institutions need us as much as we need them; they need the American people to protect them or they will be hollowed out over time, unable to serve and protect our country.”

— Max Boot

Poetic Justice

Verbatim

— Charlie Cook

“Sharia law seeks to destroy and supplant the pillars of our republican form of government and is incompatible with the Western tradition. The use of taxpayer-funded school vouchers to promote Sharia law likely contravenes Florida law and undermines our national security.”

— Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, introducing an Islamic law scare into the public discourse via an X post magnifying claims that state universal school choice dollars were paying for instruction in Sharia in Tampa charter schools, reported Florida Phoenix.

“I’m the speaker and the president.”

— President Trump, quoted by the New York Times, noting how he’s marginalized Speaker Mike Johnson.
