Old Sammy did not Have a fit ...

The 0ld guy now has a Fit, though.  I had a slight accident in the recently purchased 06 Avalon and went to Germain Honda State Farm Appraisal for damage yesterday morning.   The estimate was made and, as I backed out of the parking space on their lot, I saw a Kentucky blue car that looked to be a Toyota Prius C.  I have had Toyota 07 Prius, 03 and 06 Avalon and 09 Camry Hybrid.   I was taken in by the KY blue.  I got out and looked it over and did not notice that it is a 16 Honda Fit, non-hybrid.  The state of Ohio has, very unwisely, started taxing hybrid owners extra.  

At 86, I had intended to glide in my driving and the Avalon is the best driving and riding car I have ever driven.  I looked for a used or a lease on a Toyota Avalon and settled for a 2006 model from an individual in a newspaper ad, just a couple of months ago.  After spending $1600 on brakes and seeing other problems down the road because the mechanic suggested the Avalon had damage from accidents front and back. I could see that I would have further expenses.  Be careful, some owners don't always report accidents for Carfax.

I was informed while looking into the KY blue car to buy, that it is instead, a 16 Honda Fit. It is, however, non-keyless, economical, and a small station wagon.  I drove it, showed it to my bride of 67 years, and bought it.  Granddaughter Tobey once suggested that I buy a Fit when I was looking, but I liked the Toyotas so well, I did not.  Stupid Ohio reps attacked hybrids, cars the Fed gave individuals bonuses to buy.  The Fit is non-keyless, which I enjoy because Old Sammy can't get along with keyless cars.  Please honk and wave if you see me in my KY Blue Honda Fit regaled in tasteful UK paraphernalia ... 

I love KY blue!  Go Cats!  Being a KY Wildcat basketball traditionalist gained me a Kentucky blue Fit.

Something that we weren't taught in civics class.  Alex

If this information is valid, I hope that Trump is impeached !

THE IMPEACHMENT PROCESS (This is why Pelosi is scared)

Very good explanation of the process.

[EXTRAORDINARILY INFORMATIVE – What every American should know]

ONE MAN'S OPINION – The writer  has a degree in Political Science, and

is a card-carrying Libertarian.

I’ve been studying politics and political history for the past 30

years. My specialty is U.S. Presidents. That said, I hope that the

House of Representatives impeaches Trump.

Let me tell you what will happen next.

1. The House can pass articles of impeachment over the objections of

the Republicans, and refer to the Senate for trial.

2. The Senate will conduct a trial. There will be a vote, and the

Republicans will vote unanimously, along with a small number of

Democrats, to not convict the President. Legally, it will all be over

at that point.

3. However, during the trial, and this is what no one is thinking

about right now, the President's attorneys will have the right to

subpoena and question ANYONE THAT THEY WANT.. That is different than

the special counsel investigation, which was very one-sided. So,

during the impeachment trial, we will be hearing testimony from James

Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr, Glenn Simpson, Donna

Brazille, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, Christopher Steele, Hillary

Clinton, John Brennan, James Clapper, and a whole host of other

participants in this whole sordid affair and the ensuing coverup

activities.

A lot of dirt will be dug up; a lot of truth will be unveiled. Finger

pointing will occur. Deals will start being made, and suddenly, a lot

of Democrats will start being charged and going to prison. All this,

because, remember, the President's team will now, for the first time,

have the RIGHT to question all of these people under oath - and they

will turn on each other. That’s already starting.

4. Lastly, one more thing will happen – the Senate will not convict

the President. Nothing will happen to Trump. Most Americans are

clueless about political processes, the law, and the Constitution.

Most Americans believe that being impeached results in removal from

office. They don't understand that phase 2 is a trial in and by the

Senate, where he has zero chance of conviction. Remember, the Senate

is controlled by Republicans; they will determine what testimony is

allowed -- and **everything** will be allowed, including: DNC

collusion with the Clinton campaign to fix the election in favor of

Hillary, the creation of the Trump dossier, the cover up and

destruction of emails that very likely included incriminating

information. They’ll incriminate each other for lying to the FISA

court, for spying and wiretapping the Trump campaign, and for

colluding with foreign political actors, especially George Soros.

After the Senate declines to convict the President, we will have an

election, and Trump will win. It will be a backlash against democrat

petulance, temper tantrums, hypocrisy and dishonesty. Even minorities

will vote for Trump, because, for the first time, they will see that

democrats have spent 2+ years focused on maintaining their own power,

and not doing anything at all about black murders in Chicago,

homelessness, opioids, and other important issues that are actually

killing people. And, we will spend the following four years listening

to politicians and pundits claim that the whole impeachment was rigged

somehow.
