American People the Real Losers

RECEIVED MON., JAN. 20, 2020

Dear Editor,
    Who is doing the people's work beside President Trump? The GOP and Dems are playing Washington war games and they've placed our urgent issues on hold. It really is outrageous. The extreme cost of the games is in the millions of our tax dollars. There has be thousands of hours that could have been used to resolve urgent issues.
    The Democrats love to say that President Trump is "impeached forever" but soon the Senate will be also happy to announce that President Trump is "acquitted forever" and the real losers in all this are the American people, who once again are privileged to have a "do-nothing" but play politics Congress.
    There is bad blood on both sides and it will not stop after the Senate trial and the acquittal of President Trump. Both sides will continue to fight each other every step of the way on every issue and it's now up to the American people to vote in new blood and to get rid of the old guard dogs! We need to rebuild the House and the Senate with new blood or issues will never be resolved in an intelligent joint effort of left and right. Hopefully voters will be intelligent and see through this nonsense and will start the rebuilding in the next several elections.

Congress Gone Wild...get the video!

No bikinis, please!

Impeachment has changed forever in the US.  Nancy Pelosi and her majority House gang reset rules for impeaching a President.

While feigning love and respect of the Constitution, what they have done is to disrespect the Constitution and alter the rules for impeachment. Make no mistake that the precedence may shortly return when Democrats no longer have majority. 

The maligned procedure determined by the House was not what our forefathers intended for impeachment.  While Pelosi and House Democrats joyously celebrate “President Trump has been impeached forever,” what they know but refuse to acknowledge is the Senate will acquit Pres. Trump also “forever.”

It is a bad joke on the American people, who recognize Congress has gone mad. The apparent solution is cut-out the cancer spreading throughout the Congressional body and to transfuse new blood into it.  Only by voting-in new members may we hope for a healthier Congressional body.

Pelosi signs articles of impeachment

Impeachment carnival war games

The drum beats will go on and on....The House Democrats will always be able to say, "We impeached the President FOREVER." The Senate megalomaniacs will always be able to say, "We acquitted the President from impeachment 'crimes' FOREVER"  And Pres. Trump will always say, "I was impeached, but I remained President and I won the reelection as an impeached President."   Neither will see that each of them really lost.

And thus, the impeachment carnival will go on FOREVER as part of our American history.  The House and Senate let our urgent issues go on instead of doing what is best for our nation and American citizens.  The Congress is so involved in Washington War Games that it did not see that the American people have lost interest in their government, lost in the cycle of discontent and disenchantment.  So who really won?
