The Impeachment Hearings

The U.S. House of Representatives hearings on whether or not to impeach Donald Trump begin today, and I may watch a bit of it., but I have to much personal stuff to take care of to, well, care.  And even if I didn't, I'm not very interested in following a story that I already know the ending to.  The Democratic House will impeach Trump, the Republican Senate will acquit him, and the Democratic presidential nominee will have a hard time defeating him in the 2020 election.  If it's Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders, game over.

I've pretty much given up on political activism.  I just turned 54, and I haven't seen much if anything change for the better about These States in the thirty-odd years I've been out of college.  Just the fact that I've been referring to myself as being thirty-odd years out of college indicates how so little has changed in all that time in spite of the fact that so much has happened in all that time.  And now another impeachment process that will lead nowhere?  Like, here we go again.  

So how does it feel to be politically disengaged? Great.  I don't waste my time advocating for candidates for public office who aren't going to win, and I don't bother with causes that I know aren't going to bear any fruit.  Part of  the reason I'm concentrating more on urging Volkswagen of America to keep the base Golf in the U.S. market, which you all know about, is because I figure that at least is a fight I can win. 

Enjoy the impeachment process.  Wake me when it's over.
