No matter how much I despised George W Bush and Barack Obama I would never have wanted them removed under the kind of unconstitutional kangaroo court the Democrats are trying against de facto Third Party President Donald Trump.
I’ve already stated that I don’t think Bill Clinton deserved to be impeached either, but at least he was facing a fair process, not this neither fish nor fowl impeachment “inquiry” that the Democrats have conjured up to replace their failed “Russian Collusion” plot.

DEMOCRAT PARTY
Democrats have become the ultimate fascists in recent years, so they decided that to try to make this “Ukrainian Conspiracy” go further than their ridiculous Russian Collusion they’d better not trust to any more Robert Muellers. From now on they are going to personally run every aspect of the Trump Witch Hunt to ensure that absolutely no aspect of the process is fair. They just voted to prevent Republican House members from even ASKING QUESTIONS OF THE WITNESSES!
This procedure also shows the Democrats to be screening for “witnesses” (LMAO) willing to say anything negative about Trump just because they disagree with the president’s politics and then pretending they are credible while dismissing witnesses who say the president did nothing wrong.
Some Democrats even have this fantasy that both Trump and Pence will be removed from office, elevating Nancy Pelosi to the Presidency. Gosh, if that’s the case, then she’s clearly got a conflict of interest in playing any part in all this, right? She’s trying to use the apparatus of government against a political rival who stands between her and the Presidency. Isn’t that what Democrats are trying to pretend that Trump did? That he followed in the footsteps of Quid Pro Joe Biden?
As ever, I’m an Independent Voter, and would love to see both the Democrats and the Republicans splinter into multiple smaller parties for awhile. I know there are problems with Coalition Governments but I sincerely believe that in a decade or less we’d be back to just two dominant parties but at least they would not be the Democrats and Republicans as currently constituted.
I’m beginning to think such a fracturing of those two parties of nothing but white-collar criminals is the only peaceful way out of the situation in which the Democrats and Republicans have put this country. And remember, Trump is NOT a career politician, which in America means career criminal. That is why he is worth siding with since he is in no way as corrupt as our other elected officials.
By the way, the Democrats love to snivel about Trump’s tax returns. I’d MUCH rather see several years’ worth of tax returns from members of Congress who go into office at six figures but rapidly become MILLIONAIRES in office as virtually all of them do.
Back to the topic at hand: NO PRESIDENT OF EITHER PARTY SHOULD BE SUBJECTED TO WHAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO DO TO TRUMP. Are they trying to make President Trump a martyr of John F Kennedy proportions? He was the last president to oppose our corrupt “intelligence services” and other crooked business as usual in Washington D.C.
(Oh, and by the way, the Democrats also pulled their usual nonsense where they deny something is real, then when they are thoroughly proven to be lying they switch to saying “Of COURSE the thing we denied for months is real, but it’s a good thing!” Most recently this was with the Deep State – a term that has been around for decades and did NOT originate with President Trump. After months of pretending that the Deep State wasn’t real Democrats are now telling us “Of COURSE it’s real, but it’s a GOOD thing.”)
THE MONKS OF MONK HALL aka THE QUAKER CITY (1844-1845) – Written by George Lippard, this strange and macabre story was originally serialized from 1844-1845 before being published in novel form. This bloody, horrific work was America’s best-selling novel before Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
Think of Monk Hall as a combination of Twin Peaks establishments like the Black Lodge, One-Eyed Jacks and the Great Northern all rolled into one. The vast, multi-roomed Hall is honey-combed with secret passageways and trap doors. Beneath the mansion are a subterranean river plus several levels of labyrinthine catacombs filled with rats, refuse and the skeletal remains of the Monks’ many victims from the past century and a half.
DEVIL-BUG – The deformed, depraved and deranged bastard offspring of one of Monk Hall’s members and one of the many prostitutes who are literally enslaved there. Devil-Bug has spent his entire life in the Hall and has no other name. He is squat, incredibly strong and grotesquely ugly with one large gaping eye and one small, withered, empty socket on his face.
Master of an occult method of eternal youth, Ravoni has been alive for over two hundred years. (The novel repeatedly says just two hundred years, but the villain refers to having been present at the Saint Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, which happened in 1572, so it has to be longer)

AMAZING ADVENTURES Vol 2 #31 (July 1975)
Those pursuers: Atalon – white-shirted human quisling administrator of Death-Birth, the now-destroyed alien fortress where they raised humans like cattle since they eat human flesh – and the Sacrificer, green-clad medical madman who used to prepare those cannibal meals for the aliens, including their favorite delicacy – human infants carved out of their mother’s body shortly before they are due to deliver.
De facto Third Party President Donald Trump received praise from the parents of Kayla Mueller, the international humanitarian worker raped and killed by Islamic State officials when Obama was in office. They praised the president for the recent raid in which Abu bakr al Baghdadi, current head of ISIS and one of Mueller’s rapists, was killed. Al Baghdadi’s likely replacement was also killed over the weekend.
The Democrats at the Washington Post (Motto: Democracy dies at our hands) eulogized al Baghdadi as “an austere religious scholar” who “dies at 48.” The Democrats in Congress – all of them white-collar criminals – bemoaned the fact that President Trump wisely did not inform them of the raid beforehand, thus blocking them from leaking the information prematurely.
I’m a non-believer but I love exploring the mythology behind the world’s various belief systems.
If anything history has shown that people – ESPECIALLY the self-congratulatory asses called Democrats – take great delight in loudly and repeatedly condemning people of the past for (GASP) having opinions that differ from their own. It takes no courage and little effort to put on an air of moral superiority toward long-dead human beings.
The obsessive conformity, status-anxiety and insecurities of Democrats prevent them from questioning their faith and thereby realizing that their own condemnation of figures from long ago is every bit as much of a shallow, meaningless pose as the attitude that may be shown by Democrat Fundamentalists of the future.

MARATHON GAME OF THE DAY – This distinction goes to the clash between the NICHOLS COLLEGE BISON and their hosts the UNIVERSITY OF NEW ENGLAND NOR’EASTERS. The 4th Quarter ended in a 38-38 tie. One Overtime wasn’t enough. Two weren’t enough. Three weren’t enough. In the FOURTH OVERTIME the Bison emerged with a 51-48 triumph.
USCAA SPOTLIGHT GAME – USCAA stands for United States Collegiate Athletic Association. The WILLIAMSON COLLEGE OF THE TRADES MECHANICS took the field against the visiting NEW JERSEY WARRIORS yesterday. The Mechanics led 7-3 at the Half before going on to win the game 14-3.

Halloween month continues here at Balladeer’s Blog with a look at the first two volumes of Graveyard Shift, the “monsters as superheroes” sensation drawn by THE Jon Malin and written by Mark Poulton.
Graveyard Shift Volume Two featured the team taking on the reborn menace of Dracula himself and his legions. The first two installments raised six figures each on Indiegogo and it is presumed that the third volume, expected in 2020, will continue that trend.
