Trump-impeachment inducement

                   Larry Flynt’s ad in the Sunday edition of The Washington Post is hard to miss.
For one, it takes up a full page. And there are no pictures — just bold, all-caps text dominating the top third of the page:
“$10 MILLION FOR INFORMATION LEADING TO THE IMPEACHMENT AND REMOVAL FROM OFFICE OF DONALD J. TRUMP.”
No pictures. With one boob meister throwing down the gauntlet to another, it seems downright naked not to include, well, you know, a little artistic relief.

  1. Hmmmm....

    Trump’s malfeances are mostly a matter of public record, but thanks, Larry, for the Ad. It might take all the 10 Million for anyone who has really incontrovertible damaging stuff to get fake ID and escape to Taihiti or where ever. But let’s recap.

    1. He is still in violation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution.

    For example see this

    2. He has Obstructed Justice.
    Fact: He fired Comey

    Fact: Trump is on record as to why he fired Comey. See

    3. Trump has numerous Russian numerous business and political entanglements. OK this investigation is ongoing. But there is no room for reasonable doubt as to whether Russians tried to influence our last presidential election beginning with release of the Democratic Party’s dubious emails. But Facebook, Google and Twitter have shown that the influencing went on well beyond hacking. See

    And then there’s

    It will be interesting to read reports as to just what Trump’s financial and political involvement with the Vicious Bear is.

    I could go on, and on and on and on.

    Trump hasn’t been impeached yet because 1. Not enough of the American People are demanding it ... loudly, 2. The Republican controlling the House and Senate lack the morality to Impeachment Trump. Clearly, they need political motivation; see #1, and look into not just the 30% elusive “base” but the big money donors and oligarch / corporate interests.


    Let’s keep this bookmarked

  2. All true, but you can't really blame that damned do nothing congress for human nature. Trump is a slow motion car crash that fascinates and we can't not watch. Whether we laugh of we cry, we are deer in the headlights.
