10/25/19 - A Day That Will Live in Irony

Today the asterisk president visited Benedict College, an HBCU in Columbia, SC to discuss criminal justice reform the day after revelations that he is conducting a criminal investigation against the FBI, days after comparing the impeachment inquiry against him to a lynching, on the same day as the funeral for a highly-respected black member of Congress whose district he called "disgusting rat and rodent infested."

It is important to note the impeachment is the result of trump's attempt to bribe the Ukrainian president into opening a bogus investigation into a political opponent. While he is investigating the probe of Russian attacks on the 2016 election, there are no known allegations, and no known persons of interest. It is, in fact, another bogus investigation attempt. It is also important to note that his personal attorney is seeking an attorney himself as he is under federal investigation.

The student body from Benedict College was not historically represented

2. Trump only appears before audiences that have been carefully vetted.

He doesn't worry much about vetting Cabinet members. But you can be sure the ten students that were admitted were thoroughly investigated.

I'm surprised they could find that many.

3. Oh, I think it's fair to say that impeachment is the result of tRUMP's ongoing criminality

and failure to perform presidential obligations in a proper manner. The latest Ukraine and other criminality is only icing on the impeachment cake and it sure is yummy. I look forward to seeing the impeachment cake grow to include many layers and flavors.
