It was an absolutely beautiful Saturday morning as I did my normal weekend five-mile run. The Redistricting Process: An Introduction.Like Barney Fife, Pelosi should have kept her commemorative impeachment pen in her pocket.īill Thompson is the editorial page editor of The Ledger in Lakeland, Florida. Thus, if Biden collapses, and Bernie surges to the Democratic nomination, we get four more years of Trump because America decides it’s not ready to wrap itself in the dried-out husk of the Soviet Union that Bernie has waiting for us. Throughout this campaign, Old Joe has found plenty of political cow patties to step in.īut given the Democrats’ argument that Trump supposedly turned to Ukraine specifically to undermine Old Joe, impeachment has cast a glaring light on his shortcomings. But liberals wouldn’t hesitate for a second to ream Trump over his sons’ behavior if they had a similar track record.

Now, obviously, Hunter Biden is a grown man free to make, or stumble, his way through the world. We also recalled Hunter’s divorce and subsequent courtship of his late brother’s widow, his dismissal from the Navy over snorting cocaine usage, and last fall, that an Arkansas stripper revealed he was the father of her baby. You know, for instance, how he pocketed tons of cash from foreign interests without knowing anything about the culture of the places where his employers were located, or what exactly they did. Speaking of Hunter Biden, the impeachment process gave Americans a chance to get reacquainted - or perhaps learn for the first time - about him. And as we know, what Biden wanted was to be rid of the troublesome prosecutor investigating the potentially corrupt Ukranian energy company that “employed” his son. Subsequently, courtesy of congressional Republicans and conservative media, we’ve been treated to a nonstop loop of Biden-heavy shenanigans.īy now we’ve all seen video of Old Joe bragging about getting that Ukraine’s chief prosecutor fired - by doing exactly what Trump was accused of doing: Threatening to withhold American aid until a high-ranking U.S.
#BARNEY FIFE FOR PRESIDENT PRO#
In late September, Pelosi succumbed to partisanship and whiny radicals who believed quid pro quo was Latin for “beat us at the polls.” Then we learned about Trump’s chattiness with Ukraine’s president and, aided by the whistleblower, Democrats suddenly leapt into witless protection mode.īefore Trump’s conversation with President Z became Washington’s obsession, mainstream Democrats, and even Barack Obama, fretted about the presidential wannabes veering too far to the fringe left.Ĭonsequently, old marblemouth Joe Biden seemed steady and ready to reap the benefit of the biggest portside tilt since the remake of “The Poseidon Adventure.” He was, after all, the sanest person in the race who had both the name recognition, fundraising firepower and eight years of experience of being just one heartbeat away from America’s top job. If these become our choices, thank Nancy Pelosi.įor a while Pelosi resisted The Resistance, saying impeachment would be too divisive, and that Trump wasn’t “worth” the effort anyway. Yet, we who love capitalism and freedom would be on Uneasy Street until the last ballot is counted because Bernie, if the nominee, would enter the race with at least 45% of the vote locked up.
#BARNEY FIFE FOR PRESIDENT PLUS#
Imagine Bernie - the gruff, rumpled, frumpy, ex-hippie, unrepentant Castro lover with Doc Brown’s hair - as the Democratic presidential nominee.Ī plus for President Donald Trump, who likely could campaign for reelection simply by playing ads of Bernie’s old comments extolling the virtues of breadlines, and his staff’s recently revealed desires to see billionaires breaking rocks in Soviet-style gulags. Bernie Sanders is emerging as the favorite. I thought of Barney while contemplating Bernie. When locked and loaded, Deputy Barney Fife had a bad habit of firing his revolver inadvertently - and so had to keep his one allotted bullet in his shirt pocket. If you’re old enough to remember “The Andy Griffith Show,” you might recall how Sheriff Andy couldn’t trust his trusty sidekick with his sidearm.
