Happy New Year liberals, Trump is still president

Three New Year's Days ago, leftists viewed the idea of Donald J. Trump winning the presidency as an absurdity.

A year later on New Year's Day 2017 Trump was president-elect. Still liberals clung to hope that somehow Congress would refuse to certify the November elections results, or that Trump would be promptly impeached and removed from office--the emoluments clause of the Constitution was the depose-Trump flavor of the month that January.

Last year on January 1 things were looking up for Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers. Robert Mueller's Russian collusion investigation was six months old. Surely, liberals pondered with certainty, Mueller would find pay dirt very soon on the orange-haired usurper. After all, the Watergate Scandal didn't collect its first trophy scalps until ten months after the break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters, when H.R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman, and John Dean were fired from their White House posts.

"Soon, soon," liberals were telling themselves a year ago, "Trump's a crook, and he's stonewalling," just as Nixon was four decades ago.

Today Trump is still president. And he will be a year from now too. Even if, and that's a big if, Mueller finds something widely viewed as impeachable, in 2020 Trump faces the voters again. Even some Democrats will agree that it's best that the electorate, not Congress, decides who is president.

Happy New Year, liberals. Let's Make New Year's Day Great Again next year too!

If liberals weren't such b*ttheads, this country has the potential to do so much more. But instead they choose the low road and continue to screw up the country.
