THIS is an Actual Witch Hunt

According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, the phrase "witch hunt" means the searching out and deliberate harassment of those (such as political opponents) with unpopular views.

For years, the twice-impeached, 4 times arrested and indicted, court-determined rapist, convicted sexual predator, with 91 pending felonies -- Donald Trump -- has used that term to describe investigations into his long list of crimes against America.

Here's why he's not the victim of a witch hunt:

• The whole world saw him send a violent mob to the Capitol on January 6, 2021, saying "if you don't fight like hell you won't have a country anymore." 
• The world saw dozens of boxes of stolen documents and nuclear secrets piled up around the toilet in his bedbug-infested hotel. 
• We heard him demand Georgia officials invent 11,780 non-existent votes to overrule the voters of that state. 
• We've seen the evidence of the plot between him and his henchmen to send fake electors to seven states, thereby nullifying millions of votes in those states. 
• We've seen the hush money check to a porn star and IRS documents proving he radically changed the value of his properties to suit his needs at any moment. 

These are real crimes being charged based on physical evidence.

Never satisfied with being repeatedly humiliated on the world stage, Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy has decided to humiliate himself once again. He has rolled over and dutifully obeyed the most insane members of his Conspiracy Caucus, and decided to open an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. 

This is an actual witch hunt. There is absolutely no evidence of any crime whatsoever committed by the president. But McCarthy is beholden to crackpots like Marjorie Taylor Greene and others to whom he owes his speakership. They're controlling his puppet strings. In order to keep his speakership and not get booted at any moment (which is what he agreed to), he must bow to their whims.

Their simpleminded logic states that since their frontrunner (Trump) has been impeached for clearly obvious reasons, their opponent (Biden) must be impeached as well for retribution. This is as childish as it gets. "Oh yeah? You impeached our guy? Now we'll impeach yours."

Will this get anywhere? No. But it will rile up the Conspiracy Caucus, get more rubes to write more checks, and allow Trump -- if he's indeed their nominee -- to stand on stage with President Biden in debates and claim "you've been impeached, too."
