Fateful Friday The Thirteenth

Submitted by ub on

Friday the 13th is considered an unlucky day in Western superstition. A suggested origin of the superstition. Friday, 13 October 1307, the date Philip IV of France arrested hundreds of the Knights Templar may not have been formulated until the 20th century.

The Democrats held their impeachment inquiry vote on Halloween, and their articles of impeachment vote on Friday the 13th, thereby using POTUS demonic nature to defeat him.

On this last Friday the thirteenth of the year, it was a day for both impeachment articles to be approved and set up to the full Democratic-led House for a vote next week. President Donald Trump is only the fourth POTUS to face impeachment proceedings. This is precisely the type of misconduct the framers had in mind when they included impeachment into the US Constitution.

Alexander Hamilton supported a robust presidency but worried about a man unprincipled in private life desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper coming to power. Impeachment, Hamilton wrote, was a mechanism to protect the nation from the abuse or violation of some public trust.

Yesterday, following a 14-hour session arguing and debating to mark up the two articles of impeachment, House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said shortly after 11 p.m. that the committee would instead vote on the impeachment of President Donald Trump today.

The House Judiciary Committee debated some more today and voted on two articles of impeachment against President Trump: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

Has POTUS been sending crude signals to Americans, the US Constitution, Democracy or all of the above? Will these acts, along with presidential impeachment and the filibuster now become a regular feature of weaponized American politics?

A man who acts like an emperor with no clothes is more like the king on nothing.
