WASHINGTONOpting to take more of a wait-and-see approach instead of rushing to pass judgment, Republican lawmakers reportedly looked on in silence Tuesday as President Trump worked his way through each of their families and, one by one, strangled all their loved ones to death.
After I watched the president slowly and methodically squeeze the life out of my wifes body as she gasped, futilely, for breath, he gave me his personal assurance that he was not responsible for her death, so I continue to stand by this administration, said Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-TN), who along with every Republican in both the House and Senate stated that while killing off their families in cold blood might not be entirely proper, it was certainly not an impeachable offense, no matter how the media tried to spin it.
Now, this is not an action I would have taken myself. I personally would not have wrapped my hands around my 5-year-old sons neck and crushed his windpipe. But if Donald Trumps approach to governing is sometimes a bit outside the ordinary, thats because Donald Trump is no ordinary president. And maybe thats not such a bad thing.
Later, with his beloved sisters face turning purple as the commander-in-chief asphyxiated her with a length of barbed wire, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) appeared on several television news networks and said impeaching the president for her imminent death would be insane.

(5,434 posts)I no longer follow the Onion, basically because satire like this is scaring me.
But it's not recalcitrant GOPers that need to worry the most.
How desperate will Don need to be, before he does in fact get involved in 'removing', North Korean or Russian style, some of the people he blames for his dreams of a Hereditary Monarchy being dimmed?
