KK. Kowalski, analysis. Subject that mfkin' string to some critical damping.

What are the Democrats thinking? Do they honestly think this is going to work? This is only further serving to increase Donald's clout because the vast majority of Americans do not, and cannot care about the issue. Monkey go LOUD NOISES and ooo ooo aaa aa we slap the lever on the voting machine.

Essentially that's how you take control in the 327 million-strong student council election we call America. People don't care who's influencing it because we're all geniuses on the inside who vote for who we like. Anyone who actually thinks the "Rule of Law" or "Equal Justice" are valid concepts in any country are getting smoke blown up their ass by retired military personnel working in secondary schools.

Who does the law actually apply to? The lower class, primarily, but that's Marxist nonsense, so let's just narrow it down to "people we don't like." Dudes who break into stores to feed their drug habit. The people we feel like it maaaan. The art and science of justice contain the worst parts of both of those things. I know girls in the top law school in the country right now and believe me, they couldn't calculate the zeros of a parabola if they were trapped in Harambe's enclosure.

So the president can be impeached for any possible reason. Anything that is illegal. Jaywalking. Salmon fishing. Lying under oath about getting a BJ. We can rant and rave and stumble over lego blocks but in the end the dude knows exactly what he's doing. Society is run by a) age group and b) confidence. The more controversy he stirs up, the more he wins. Winning! It's the Kanye approach. Fuck, if I were Trump I'd be trying to get arrested right now.

As a political consultant, here would be my alternate strategy for the Democrats. Do nothing. Abstain from voting, don't pay any attention to him. Do that shit up like 12 Angry Men. Watch this scene and report back. [I promise it's only 2 minutes]. Sure, you're still allowed to run candidates but don't bother trying to fight him on his own terms.
