The Guillotine

The word started as a whisper.  Then it popped up in an article here and there.  Then it got a little louder and started coming off of the lips of GOP House Reps.  Now, Kevin McCarthy GOP Minority Leader of the House of Representatives is warning against it.  That word...  Impeachment!

If the GOP that's short for Grand Old Party aka The Republicans can retake the House this fall, they want to impeach Old Brains Joe Biden!  Hell, there's evidence the old boy and his son have been taking bribes.  This would be easy, a slam dunk.  No shifting through years of emails, phone calls, recordings and the taking of depositions.  All they'd have to do is check the bank accounts.  And, of course the safety deposit boxes.  Where did all the money come from?

Now put this together with the ongoing and never ending investigations of former President Trump and former Presidential candidate HerHillaryness, then throw in all the Celebrities and Talking Heads who have been wished away to the Cornfields on a somewhat regular basis and we say it's time to bring back The Guillotine!

 

For those of you who don't know, The Guillotine pictured above is a very old, very quick and extremely efficient form of execution.  The huge blade is suspended above the neck of the condemned.  Then the blade is dropped and gaining momentum as if falls, it chops the head off of the condemned, in a nanosecond.  Like we said quick, clean and efficient.  Probably far more humane than hanging, electrocution or even lethal injection which if not done properly, can get very messy and painful.  Hell, even when those methods work properly, they gotta hurt.  But with the Guillotine, it's just Swoosh and the recipient is off to Eternity.

The Guillotine reached its zenith of renown during and after French Revolution.  Once they were done with chopping off the head of the King Louis IVI and his wife Marie Antoinette, The French Assembly, our version of the Congress, started taking off each other's heads.  Why?  Well it was the money.  After the King was gone, it was what do we do with all the money.  Try to remember this.  It is always, the money.  That's what people are always screaming about.  It's not what they're saying, not the words, not the slogans, not the passionate causes or anything else they're yelling about.  It's the money.  It's why wars are fought.  It's why husbands kill wives and vice versa.  It's who gets what.  It makes people scream.

Hell, even the recipients might prefer it.  No more endless investigations.  No more indictments, real or threatened.  No more Impeachments.  No more endless apology tours that never work, as people don't want apologies, they want blood.  No more trying to resurrect dead careers.  No more being whisked away to some unheard of cable channel or obscure podcast no one watches.  No, just the finely sharpened blade, swoosh and only one person to make an explanation to, Saint Peter.

And, then when enough heads have been tossed and enough blood has been spilled, maybe the screaming, the yelling, and the hurling of accusations will subside.  Maybe.
