Profanity found herein. do not let your children read this. You've been warned.
There's no reason a thinking democrat should read any farther, 'cause I'm just a naive radical left pollyana dipshit with my head so far up my ass I can swallow the toothpaste and clean my teeth a second time by virtue of the fact that I want congress to uphold the god damn Constitution of the United States of America.
Anyone with the slightest semblance of intelligence or reason may as well travel onward to the next pootie diary since the following spews forth from the maw of a moronic asshole purity troll who clearly can't find his ass with two hands, a flashlight, google earth and a Tom-Tom.
I can haz impeechmint?
Fuck No! Anyone with half a brain can tell you there might be some sort of risk involved, and we just don't do that anymore. Intellectual Honesty tells us that any endeavor with less than 100% chance of total success is a non-starter. You smart folks can back me up on this. The very suggestion that our elected representatives should adhere to their oaths of office in the case that something bad might happen is positively Un Fucking American.
Get it through your heads, fellow idealistic starry eyed parchment-flavored Kool Aid fiends. Impeachment is off the bloody table. not just off the table, mind you, but kicked into the corner, covered in cobwebs and dust.
One man had the courage. One man mustered up the balls to do his job. One man read THIRTY FIVE articles of impeachment into the congressional record last night, enumerating in painstaking detail the crimes, abuses of power, and dereliction of duty of the Bush Crime Family, and we laughed at him
Ha Ha Ha, look at that goofy little man! How CUTE! Hims got wittle awticwes of impeeeeeechmint. Now move along folks, we've got more important things to do than uphold and defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. there's a post office that hasn't been named after some douchbag yet. There's this awesome bill that Harry Reid has to table at the slightest threat of a filibuster. We've got warrantless wiretapping and Telcom Immunity to capitulate to. We simply don't have time to hold the president and his administration accountable for all the death, torture, and shit stains on the constitution rendered over the last seven years. Fuck man, We might even miss our vacation! Not having that!
The reason, of course, is perfectly reasonable to anyone capable of reasoned analysis. I mean, what would the republicans say? They wouldn't like that at all! They might call us witch hunters or accuse us of playing political games, and the media will be all over it! We all know the american people are too fucking stupid to see through the bullshit. When Mitch McConnell takes the podium and says "The Democrat Party is engaging in political theatre," Our ass is gonna be a melon. The Horror! The Woe! Much better (as is obvious to anyone who is in posession of two brain cells to rub together) to let the Torture slide. Let the Bill of rights be shredded. Ignore the obvious War crimes. I mean, it's not as if anyone was sucking W's little commander guy, and besides... we might lose an election or something.
Are you fucking kidding me?
That's the excuse. It really is. Winning elections is far and away more important than upholding the rule of law. What's the constitution when compared to a party charter anyway?
That's why I fucking HATE Republicans!
Remember how pissed we got when justice was politicized so as to make the road to public office smoother for the other party? Well now the dogshit's in our own backyard, and upstanding, intelligent democrats want to pretend it's a god damn chocolate bar!
Ohhhh but Mike, everything will be just fine when we elect Barack Obama! He can have his justice department prosecute everyone! Then we'll get justice, right?
WRONG
Check this shit out, wise ones.

While no president has ever pardoned himself, the law supports the president's authority to do so. Scholarly inquiry into the subject was provoked first by fear that Richard Nixon would pardon himself to escape Watergate; later by thought that George H. W. Bush would do so because of the Iran-Contra grand jury; and most recently by concern about Bill Clinton's problem of a possible post-Presidency indictment and trial. And while a few scholars have concluded that the president cannot pardon himself, many more believe that he can.
As one Member of Congress said during the Clinton impeachment proceedings, "the prevailing opinion is the President can pardon himself." Thus, should Bill Clinton pardon himself, and should Independent Counsel Ray decide to go to Court to test his presidential power to do so, not only would that court case delay the prospect of resolving any criminal action against the former president quickly, it would also present a case of first impression, with the authority overwhelmingly on the side of the former president.
The president's pardon power is set forth in the constitution. Article II, section 2 grants the president "Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment." The text of the constitution, its history, and the placement of the pardon power within the structure of the constitution, all show that there are no limits on this power, other than the exception that prevents the president from pardoning "impeachments." Accordingly, the Supreme Court has described this presidential power as "plenary." As one recent commentator summed it up, short of a constitutional amendment, there is absolutely nothing "to prevent any president from pardoning himself."
It's called a pardon ladies and gentlemen, and yes, the prevailing legal scholarly opinion is that the president can even pardon himself. How do you like them apples?
But Mike! We don't have any real proof!? We all hate him and all, but shit man it'll never work!
Need i remind you that any lack of evidence purported in relation to the articles read into the record is due to the stonewalling effect of executive privilege. Well guess what doesn't exist in impeachment hearings? That's right, oh anointed and bright ones. Executive Privelege. If that stone wall came down I seriously doubt there would be any lack of evidence, perceived or otherwise.
Just shut the fuck up already you moron liberal douche! We don't have the votes in the senate!
Yeah, because when the overwhelming evidence is staring them in the face and plastered all over national news, republican senators are really gonna commit political suicide by covering the ass of a lame duck war criminal who singlehandedly destroyed their party.
Maybe not.... yeah, fuck, maybe not, so fuck the constitution, fuck the rule of law, fuck justice, fuck democracy, and fuck the fucking United Fucking States of Fucking America.
It might not work, there might be a backlash somehow, and Obama might lose in november. A Democrat MUST be elected to the Presidency of Amerika.
How fucking sad. How weak kneed, lily-livered, spineless, and sad.
In this 200 year experiment we call our fledgling democracy, we've gone from
Give me Liberty or Give me Death!
to
Anything with Risk involved is not worth pursuing.
Seriously...
Who the fuck are we, anyway?
