Coming this fall to a TV network near you, an event sure to unite the country and get us all to recognize those Russian-implanted fake political memes when we see them on Facebook and Instagram — impeachment hearings!

Yes, grab the kids! Get a blanket! Gather around the television set! Then pick it up and heave it out the window.

The transcript of President Trump’s phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy was alarming. Imagine Zelenskiy saying he hopes he wins more elections just so he can get more phone calls from Donald Trump!

Halfway through the phone call, the subject turned to defense, and Zelenskiy tells the president, “...we are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes.” No wonder Ukraine is having trouble with Russia. Can’t we do better than to sell them a few spears?
