During the course of his tiresome and repetitive oratory, he threw in a variety of absurdities that illustrate his growing fear and desperation. For instance, he <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/atrupar\/status\/1183163836225982464\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">yammered<\/a><\/strong> something about <em>&#8220;They are using the IRS against me.&#8221;<\/em> Nevermind that his appointees are running the agency, or that he didn&#8217;t bother to explain who <em>&#8220;they&#8221;<\/em> are. He also <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/atrupar\/status\/1183167279858671617\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">babbled on<\/a><\/strong> that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi <em>&#8220;hates our country&#8221;<\/em> because she&#8217;s engaging in the constitutional process of investigating his flagrantly impeachable crimes.<\/p>\n<p>However, with a doubt Trump&#8217;s hysteria reached fever pitch when he unleashed a load of throbbing gibberish aimed at members of Congress who are doing their jobs <em>(video below)<\/em>. And it&#8217;s important to note that they are acting on behalf of the American people who broadly favor Trump&#8217;s impeachment and removal from office <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=42970\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">according every recent poll<\/a><\/strong>, including one by Fox News. Trump&#8217;s tantrum was the perfect example of just how ignorant and incoherent he is in these late stages of his psychoses. Referring to his perceived enemies on the Hill, Trump impotently bellowed that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to take a look at it. We&#8217;re going after these people. These are bad, bad people. I actually told my lawyers, I said sue them anyway. He\u2019s got immunity. But they can\u2019t sue them for that. I said sue them anyway. Even if we lose, the American public will understand. And sue Nancy Pelosi. Or maybe we should just impeach them. Because they&#8217;re lying and what they&#8217;re doing is a terrible thing for our country.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If lying is the criteria that Trump wants to use, than there are <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2019\/08\/12\/president-trump-has-made-false-or-misleading-claims-over-days\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">more than 12,000<\/a><\/strong> articles of impeachment waiting for Trump. More worrisome for Trump though, is that the lawyers he said he spoke with are goofballs like <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=42940\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Rudy Giuliani<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=42990\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">William Barr<\/a><\/strong>. So maybe they failed to grasp the fact that members of Congress cannot be sued for their official duties or remarks made in congressional proceedings. That&#8217;s actually spelled out in the Constitution&#8217;s <em>&#8220;speech and debate clause&#8221;<\/em> (Article I, Section 6). Furthermore, Trump&#8217;s threat to <em>&#8220;sue them anyway&#8221;<\/em> could make him subject to charges of judicial harassment, the willful exploitation of the legal system with malicious intent.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Trump&#8217;s interest in impeaching Pelosi and Schiff is just more fantastical ramblings from an ill-informed whiner with delusions of tyrannical powers. There is no facility in the Constitution for impeaching members of Congress. This is just another example of Trump&#8217;s mush-headed hostility carrying him off into a bizarro world where he is blissfully omnipotent. And apparently, his goofballs (aka lawyers) don&#8217;t have either the intellect or the courage to tell him he&#8217;s nuts.<\/p>\n<p>This combination of abject stupidity and absence of rational advice is going to insure that things will continue to devolve as Trump&#8217;s fortunes, and mental capacity, whither into ash. So the question facing America now is whether to buy more popcorn or Prozac. Or both to be on the safe side.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" src=\"\/\/fave.api.cnn.io\/v1\/fav\/?video=politics\/2019\/10\/13\/trump-sue-pelosi-schiff-rally-vpx.cnn&#038;customer=cnn&#038;edition=domestic&#038;env=prod\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The march toward total and utter mental infirmity continues apace as Donald Trump nears his inevitable impeachment.
