Crazy times, ripe for Amok!
Impeachment notes:
–Gordon Sondland should have been on that bus with Trump, not Billy Bush. That would have made quite a tape.
— Best witnesses? Loved Lt. Col. Vindman’s uniform. But Dr. Fiona Hill made the hearings seem like “Masterpiece Impeachment.”
–Devin Nunes has no clothes.
–Ask Jim Jordan why he couldn’t get so worked up about pedophilia and wrestling at Ohio State?
–Don’t lose sight of basic questions; Can a president do what he wants without checks or balances? Is the power of the presidency absolute? You know what they say about absolute power….
