I've smiled more than once these past few days, now that   Obama no longer gets a free pass in the media.   After turning his unlawful powers on the Associated Press, he instantly alienated and struck fear into the hearts of the formerly cowed, compliant stenography corps that had ignored so much criminality for so long.   If the crimes of Barack are fair game, then the world gets a reprieve.   If impeachment moves forward, the spectacle will distract these Mafiosos for at least a year.

 It seems the more damage these Congress Clowns can inflict on each other, the less they can harm the common people like you and I.   They can only accomplish so much at a time.   We may be spared the Trans Pacific Partnership, more internet censorship, more "free trade" job export deals, more bankster bailouts, more armored troop carriers in the streets and more wars of criminal aggression, at least for a little while.  

If the tipping point is reached and lying becomes an impeachable offense again, as with William J. Clinton, then the gloves may come off.   Each side may seek to bloody the other in an ever escalating tit for tat that leads to a flood of resignations, criminal charges and perhaps even a glimpse of that mythical Unicorn called "justice."  

 No, I'm not that naive. But it is nice to dream.
