№ 689.2: EXTRA! Do I Dare To Say Impeach? I Do Not Think It Will Sing To Me

Investigation will cast a dark cloud over Trump’s already norm-shattering presidency as he faces re-election

WISHFULTHINKING (September 24)

Why bother to start an impeachment process
which is destined to fail?
There isn't even the ghost of a chance
Donnie will end up in jail
where he belongs along with the throngs
of lawyers and corporate cheaters
who never do and are as unlikely to
as we are to measure in meters.

Declare Donnie Emperor and hope his temper
does not commensurately worsen.
Disband the Courts, the House, the Senate —
no benefit opposing his person.
Give him all prizes, Nobel and Pulitzer,
Oscars, Emmys and Tonys.
Any time he does not win
the fix was in, it was phony.
He won the Derby, the Indy 500,
the Stanley Cup and MVP.
He is the Rookie of Every Year.
The Apprentice made NBC.

Give him whatever he says he wants.
Tell him he is perfection.
As for the rest of us, where can we hide?
Maybe witness protection?
Keeping heads down
until he “leaves town”?
