Two Universes

I just finished reading an article from the left wing press (ok, from the mainstream media) discussing whether the House should move quickly or slowly to impeach President Trump.  It was bizarre.  It wasn't that the reporter ignored the Mueller Report which found no collusion and no obstruction.  No, the reporter actually said that the Mueller Report provided clear evidence of both.

Let's take a moment at this point.  Robert Mueller, the special prosecutor, concluded that no American had coordinated or conspired with the Russians in 2016 even though the Russians attempted to lure them into doing so.  Mueller gave the President and his campaign a clean bill of health on that point.  That is not debatable.  It's just what Mueller says.  But no matter, for the leftwing media, even a conclusion that there was no collusion after a two year investigation by a bunch of rabidly anti-Trump Democrats is not enough to stop consideration of impeaching the President because he supposedly colluded with the Russians.  Indeed, none of the evidence discussed by Mueller shows any involvement by President Trump in any of the events which the left usually cites in discussing collusion.  President Trump was completely uninvolved.  The response of the left, however, is let's move ahead with impeachment.

Then there's obstruction.  Mueller lists instances that could be used to argue collusion, but he doesn't indict anyone.  That means he doesn't have proof (or even a valid legal basis) to show any crime was committed.  But the left wants to impeach Trump anyway.

We seem to be living in two universes.  In the real world, the President was exonerated by the Mueller Report.  There was no collusion and no obstruction.  In the crazy universe of the Democrats, the facts don't matter.  They want to impeach the President for something for which Mueller clears him.

The momentum of the Democrat crazy move toward impeachment seems to actually be growing.  It's basically generated by strident left wingers and the media (which is the same thing.)  Around the country, though, most people look at this and see it for the bizarre manifestation of insanity that it truly is.  The Democrats spent two years digging a hole by arguing that there had been collusion.  Now, instead of stopping to dig, they are continuing.  If this doesn't end soon, the President may carry 45 states in 2020.
