Trump to Democrats: Merry Christmas (and by the way, you’re subverting democracy). (NY Times)

President DONALD JOHN TRUMP has been impeached.  Three cheers for the Rule of Law.  Meanwhile, his henchmen are distributing Christmas cards enclosing an incoherent rambling six page whiny letter.  From The New York Times:






In an apparent attempt to spread both holiday cheer and a political message, a White House aide on Wednesday distributed a yuletide gift to Democratic senators: a large embossed card bidding them a Merry Christmas.
But inside the card was a copy of President Trump’s rambling, angry six-page letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi accusing House Democrats of “subverting America’s democracy” by moving ahead with impeachment. The card was signed by both Mr. Trump and the first lady in red sharpie marker.


True story: there is a White House staffer going around the Senate delivering to each office, as a package, the incoherent, scathing Pelosi letter AND...wait for it...a giant 16x12 White House Christmas card (along with, implausibly, a second smaller Christmas card).

What a day.

The package, delivered to the Capitol as the House inched closer to impeaching Mr. Trump, struck some lawmakers as eminently bizarre.
“What a day,” Senator Christopher S. Murphy, Democrat of Connecticut, said.
