| Impeach Trump Because Of... Slavery? |
| 2019-12-10 |
| [POWERLINEBLOG] Congressman Al Green has become one of the Democratic Party’s top spokesmen. Which is a good thing, because Green is generally unfiltered, and therefore gives us a glimpse into his party’s id. This, for example, is revealing: Rep. Al Green (D-TX) said on Saturday during an interview on MSNBC that President Donald Trump needed to be impeached “to deal with slavery.” Green, who has previously stated that Trump must be impeached or else “he will get reelected,” said this week that there is “no limit” to the number of times that Democrats can try to impeach the president. But wait! Let’s go back to that first part: how in the world does impeaching President Trump “deal with slavery”? Rep. Green explains: I do believe, ma’am, that we have to deal with the original sin. We have to deal with slavery. Slavery was the thing that put all of what President Trump has done lately into motion. This is idiotic, almost beyond belief. It’s insidious … racism, the president has played on racism and he’s used that as a weapon to galvanize a base of support to mobilize people. Democrats keep saying this, but that doesn’t make it true. In fact, Trump has done no such thing. On the contrary, he relates well to black Americans and, more important, his policies have made him one of the best presidents ever for African-Americans. Which is why I think he will get a startling number of black votes next November, sufficient to guarantee his re-election. Actually, Green may agree with this; perhaps this is why he famously said that Trump must be impeached, lest he be re-elected. Green continued with the usual tiresome litany: We cannot overlook what happened when he came down the escalator and just demeaned people of color when he talked about the s-hole countries. |

| #5 How do unfiltered morons like Green and Waters manage to get elected? Its almost as if their base has some sort of shortcoming. |

| #4 Gotta suppress the Black's favorability towards Trump numbers. How to do that? Slavery, slavery, slavery. |

| #3 Well, hard to blame him. After all, he's used to the fact that any mention of slavery - in any context - gets huge outpourings of white guilt and immediate surrender to "African-American" demands - no matter how unreasonable. |

| #2 If slavery and raycism in America's history is to be avenged, disband and boycott the Democrats. Force them into hiding, never to return to politics. Deny them jobs and donations, even. |

| #1 Actually, not just Al Green but The New York Times, in its idiotic "1619 Project," is now saying truly extraordinary things about America and slavery -- for instance, that the American Revolution was motivated by the fear that the Mother Country was going to abolish slavery in the colonies. Got that? Our newspaper of record is promoting the batsh!t crazy, cockamamie conceit that the Revolution was about preserving slavery. These people are out of their f---ing minds. It's like a disease. A mass psychosis. |
