The ‘Badass Women’ Who Voted to Impeach Trump

VANITY FAIR
WHERE EVERYTHING IS BOUGHT AND SOLD We have elected only a few presidents who were heroes in the classic sense. Certainly, George Washington and his early successors were heroes in that sense, as were Lincoln and FDR. The story of the hero is contained in the legends of Beowulf, and the Odyssey, and in the journeys of the Buddha, Moses, and Jesus. Joseph Campbell describes the … [Read more...] about VANITY FAIR

Impeachment Thoughts
As of this writing we have had 3 Presidential impeachments in our history. The first one was, in my view, completely unjustified. Although Andrew Johnson had many flaws he did not engage in impeachable offenses (Tenure of Office Act was improper usurping by Congress) and it's clear that Congress just wanted to get rid of him. The second impeachment was entirely … [Read more...] about Impeachment Thoughts
