Brad Pitt Wisdom Decoded

I turned on the Academy Awards at 10:45 with intentions of catching the eleven o'clock news airing soon.  There was Spike Lee on stage so I turned off my set and went to sleep. Awake early 5:00 am I tuned in to catch morning news, First story was related to the Academy Awards, not Best Picture, Actor or Actress. Instead best Supporting Actor Brad Pitt. I enjoy all of Brad Pitt movies and support the Oscar and his obvious talent. Never thought much of his life choices or his judgments. His acceptance was followed by a garbled utterance about this weeks events in Washington DC. What he does so well on script is speech but solo on his own is another story. Dumb Blond usually does not apply to men but Brads wisdom is a good fit for the analogy. Decoded it sounds like Brad was upset with the votes in the Senate to hear John Bolton's testimony. Dear Brad, I'm surprised that you don't care for Trump. You both support the same barber and  hair styles. The reason you didn't hear from John Bolton is because he was never called to testify at the House Inquiry. The House Inquiry and Impeachment Articles was the  Cliff Notes of Impeachment done for Timing and not Content. Politics over Country. Party over US Constitution. Had the House truly wanted to Impeach Donald Trump they would have settled in for a long slog required by the Founders. Each Branch of Government using the powers within the framework they envisioned. They expressly created equal balance in the 3 branches to insure against a politically driven charge by either party would fail short term. Impeachment is a long process and I believe the Founders saw the importance by requiring elections in the House every 2 years, Presidents every 4 years and Senate every 6 years staggered.  The election sequence themselves and the length of time is proof enough they did not want an over run of We The People and their precious vote. The only way you can achieve Impeachment Fast Track is with 2/3 consensus of guilty. If you cannot achieve this high mark required in the Constitution your attempt is politically driven as it violates the voters and is nothing more than a lot of pomp and no circumstance. The pathway that Democrats followed demonstrates that timing was of the essence. Holding the Articles of Impeachment for 33 days to coincide with State of the Union was all politics. No question that a majority vote to allow for new witness and more documents would have lengthened the process. It would not change the outcome. This Impeachment was nothing more than a Witch Hunt started on Halloween hoping to uncover dirt they didn't possess. Anyhow Brad you will get your wish and Bolton's Book should be out soon. The Republicans will continue to uncover the mountains of evidence left at the House Inquiry and our election in November is secure to "We the People"... Using the low bar established by House Democrats Donald J Trump may very well be the first ever President to be Impeached 2 or 3 times. That future fortunately lies in the hands of the VOTERS not some psycho in the House. Congratulations On the Oscar, Still Love Your Movies Brad..... but like Adam Schiff it's just acting, All Hollywood. I respect your opinion and your vote. Please respect MINE....... Burma Shave Brad Just Vote.
