Impeach Improbable?

Yesterday the House started impeachment proceedings for a SECOND time, a first in US history.  Well that’s cool Donald always does like being number 1 after all.  It may seem to most that it would be impossible to do this so quickly and so late into Trump’s term but as is always the case there are reasons behind it.  There is the actual possibility that it could pass this time as bandwagon Republicans frantically try to distance themselves from the off the rails Trump train.  Of course it would be utterly transparent but they might just cast an impeachment vote anyway.

The other benefit would be a successful impeachment bans Trump from holding any future political office which would be a big win for the sane part of the world.  Let Donald go die in peace at Mar-A-Lago or in jail, whichever works out.  It would be a minor miracle if the impeachment gets done before Donald is kicked out the door but we can always cross our fingers.

I’m still depressed a bit about Pederson being let go.  I saw a bit of the news conference by Jeff Lurie.  It seemed like the cliff notes version is Lurie said there were a lot of short term band aids that were done the last couple years in an attempt to get this core group of players back to the Super Bowl.  Those fixes obviously didn’t work out, mostly due to age and injury.  Lurie realizes the Eagles have an old roster with an overloaded salary cap that is going to have to be scrapped.  He basically said the team is going to be in rebuilding mode for the next couple years and it seemed like Doug wanted to try to still be good with what they have now.  It definitely seemed like an amenable parting of the ways.

Doug released his own classy goodbye message as well, as I would expect.  Doug Pederson and Nick Foles will always be burned into my memories as the two guys that finally got it done.
