Former President Yoon's dismissal from office by the Constitutional Court April 4 may have cleared the way for Democratic Party leader, Lee Jae-myung's rise to the presidential office as the Democratic Party's candidate in the election that must be held by June 3, to fill the office.

Korea Pro published a full English translation of the Constitutional Court's announcement on the unanimous dismissal of former President Yoon Seok-yeol from office.

Yoon's impeachment saga continues...

The finance minister and current acting president, Choi Sang-mok, testified at Assembly hearing Feb 6 on the note passed to him December 3, while he was speaking to Yoon directly. Yoon said "refer to it." Choi claims he doesn't know who gave it to him, he didn't read it, that it was already folded, and put it in his pocket.

Impeachment 2.0 implosion imminent

At the end of this essay, you may find a song which reasonably applies to Donald Trump directed to Democrats.

How does one say Adam Schiff without laughing? It's hard to continue typing while contemplating the Burbank Buffoon. Yet AS is making obscene flatus-like noises about impeachment 2.0. He and Nervous Nancy will conspire with chief strategist Gerald Nadler about extending the charges of 1.0 to 2.0.

Same as the first

Michael Tracey misses the point of the abrupt ending of the Impeachment trial

Submitted by Alligator Ed on Sun, 02/02/2020 - 12:49am

Watch this video and see that Michael Tracey completely misunderstands what is going on here. This is not a matter of legality. This impeachment travesty is a total fuck-up. Trump is more popular, the campaign funds for his and down-ticket Repugs are swelling, the Repugs are more united. Yeah. The operating principle is not integrity. It is not Justice. It is not the revelation of Truth. This is pure politics, Michael. You don't get it, obviously.

Impeachment trial turns its ugly head, ready to eat its mate, praying mantis style

The title of this essay was gonna be SOS / DD (Same Old Shit; Different Day). And it's true. Like a soap opera in which it takes an actor one week to get inside the house, sit down for dinner, and spill gossip, not much has been going on in the Senate. So boring that one channel cut away from Impeachment Hearings (a hearing which I temporarily solemnize with important looking capital letters) to broadcast the regularly scheduled soap opera.

After Impeachment: the Guns of November, 2020?

Submitted by leveymg on Thu, 12/19/2019 - 12:18pm

The elites aren't totally clueless. They know that America isn't a peaceful, functioning WIN-WIN democracy, and that politics are likely to get increasingly more violent and chaotic with Impeachment and the '20 Presidential election. Regardless of which party wins the election next November, millions of Americans will be in a heightened state of rage.

The Kabuki now starts in earnest.

At this time (19:50 MST 12/18/2019) BBC World News is reporting that the US House of (Non) Representatives has voted to impeach President Donald Trump on two counts, "Abuse of Power" and "Impeding Congress".

(Never mind that the US Congress itself is the source of almost all the impeding Congress faces!)

Please feel free to add any and all new details in the Essay's Comments.

Impeachment is the Fruit of a Poisonous Tree

The OIG report acknowledges, Carter Page was an “operational contact” from 2008-2013 for an unnamed US Government intelligence agency, and this was withheld from the FISA Court. What the Horowitz report fails to acknowledge, however, is had Page not been infiltrated into the Trump Campaign by his Agency handlers, there would have been no Steele Memo, and thus no probable cause for commencing FISA wiretapping or even an FBI investigation.
