The big news of the week has been the commencement of the public Impeachment hearings. As is inevitable, the wingnut brigade focused on it because it is perceived by them to be an attack upon their beloved messiah.
Those jumping to the mic to defend him are not interested in truth. Instead they fear for themselves. If he goes down then they know that by association with him, so would they. Their arguments are not motivated by truth, but rather by a need to try and retain power and influence.
Wingnut proclamations from the last 7 days
Here is this week’s selection of gems that have been mined from the stream of befuddled right-wing / religious proclamations …

- Operation Rescue issued a statement in support of President Donald Trump as impeachment hearings got underway in the House of Representatives today: … “We believe this dubious impeachment process is attempting to unfairly deny the American people of that precious right [to vote], just as most of those who support impeachment have worked to deny innocent babies the precious right to life.”
- Steven Andrew of USA Christian Church issued a statement in support of Trump: “The Democrats are trying to overthrow the USA by falsely accusing President Trump in a sham impeachment, so Democrats can bring in an evil, anti-Christian type of socialism/communism.”

Takedown of the week
There was also good stuff such as this. Samantha Bee took a look at Trump’s “spiritual adviser” Paula White, now the administration’s head of the Faith and Opportunity Initiative. It is very entertaining …
Dumb-ass of the week – Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn
Here is her tweet …
That is Shakespeare. Marsha Blackburn was quoting Shakespeare, not Jesus.
The deep irony here is that her Shakespeare quote — from “Henry VI, Part 2” — is widely interpreted as a message about how lawyers are capable of protecting the rule of law from a corrupt leader out to grab power.
