40 Percent Ready to Impeach Trump
40%
A new Public Policy Polling survey shows 40% of American voters already want to impeach President Trump. That’s up from 35% of voters who wanted to impeach him a week ago. Only 48% of voters say that they would be opposed to Trump’s impeachment.
Of Congress and Madness
The 155th Congress has passed its first substantive bill,
And it sought to redress an onerous regulatory ill.
Did it bolster Medicaid?
Did it increase foreign aid?
Not hardly — it expanded gun rights for the mentally ill.
Solar Employs More Americans than Coal, Oil and Gas Combined
43%
According to a new report from the U.S. Department of Energy, solar power employed 43 percent of the Electric Power Generation sector’s workforce in 2016, while fossil fuels combined accounted for just 22 percent.
Who’s Got the Button?
“Go nuclear!” said the Trump to McConnell,
If his SCOTUS choice the Democrats do throttle.
With bravado and bluster —
Poof! No more filibuster!
Let’s just hope Trump doesn’t lead by example.
A Canticle for Arnold
Since Ike, every president’s had a National Prayer Breakfast,
But to date only one’s talked about “Celebrity Apprentice.”
Trump’s lamentations on its ratings
Were especially grating,
But his prayer for Schwarzennegger was just the tackiest.
Melania In Absentia
Melania Trump ain’t been seen since the inaugural,
And her early absence from Trump’s side augurs ill.
Trump knows he’s uncouth
And we suspect he suspects, forsooth,
That Melania just ain’t First Lady material.
