Accentuating The Positive

By Baxter

The news is pretty dismal this holiday season, what with Benedict Donald, Congressional Republicans and climate change all getting worse by the hour. So to calm ourselves down, we've decided to do a gratitude exercise. Here are some of the the things we're grateful for this holiday.

The editor of Christianity Today has refused to take back his scathing editorial calling for Trump's impeachment and removal. Good. Now the National Review has jumped on the impeach-and-remove bandwagon, too. Who's next?

POLITICO's Morning Consult — the first national poll taken after the House vote — reported 52 percent of respondents in favor of impeachment and removal. Thank you, clear-thinking Americans. May more of our fellow citizens join you.

We're grateful to have Canada to escape to when we need it.

We appreciate journalists like Daniel Dale, who has the dedication (and the stomach) to track Benedict Donald's never-ending litany of lies and report on them. The latest: 45 ways Trump has been fibbing about Ukraine. Thank you, Daniel — we hope Santa brings you a lifetime supply of Tums.

Most of all, we're grateful that the Blue Wave swept across America in 2018, because it brought us a Democratic House, a boatload of great bills (that #MoscowMitch refuses to take action on), Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and impeachment. The Wave didn't just happen, of course — Democrats worked their butts off. So, rest up this holiday, everyone, because we're going to have to gear up and do it again in 2020. We cats PURR.
