Well, today is the day. Actually let me start over. Today is "the day". Why the parentheses this time? Here's why: The House of Representatives is voting on both Articles of Impeachment today, and with a Democratic majority one can obviously see what the outcome will be. The Dems are going to vote to impeach Donald Trump. Some may call this a victory, some may call this a political vendetta on the behalf of Nancy Pelosi. Personally I am still deciding on how I see this, just because of what has yet to come with the Senate. The GOP majority is not going to vote against their leader, and a partial impeachment by the Dems is not going to stop Ol' Donny from running again in 2020. If there is one thing that I feel is going to happen from this fiasco, it's going to deepen the political divide in the United States and it's DEFINITELY going to be felt in November 2020.
Here's another thing that I noticed: Trump decided to go to the old fashioned pen and paper to write to Pelosi and the "Do Nothing Democrats" in retaliation to his opposition's actions to get him out of office. Why is this so interesting and somewhat shocking? For one, Donny loves his Twitter. Every time I see a tweet of his it's like I'm reading an old Vine star trying to stay relevant while Tik-Tok has taken over and 6 second videos have become a thing of the past. I see this usage of pen and paper as very, very related to Pablo Escobar's usage of the same elements. He wrote to the president of Colombia about his feelings, sentiments, and possible ramifications if the government didn't cooperate with his wishes. You know that the opposition has gotten to you when you decide to write a letter to them, let alone a 6 page letter that essentially is just a bunch of rambling saying "I'm right and you're wrong!"
It's definitely a scary time for politics in the United States. We, as a nation, are witnessing history right in front of our eyes. Time to get the popcorn.
