While we agree that many American citizens suffer from chronic attention deficit disorder and have been dumbed down to comical levels (i.e. Donald Trump was somehow elected President for Pete&#8217;s sake!) we here at the Bucket have found the hearings compelling and enlightening. For one thing: the Republicans are absolute scum. They&#8217;re no longer the party of Eisenhower or even Reagan, Bush or Dubya.  It was unbelievably repulsive watching  Devin Nunes or any of the other flying monkeys on the Republican counsel blatantly try to bully and intimidate the witnesses, all in an attempt to please their dear Leader: clearly putting party above truth, justice and country. Maybe Mr. Nunes and the conservative corporate media would rather have the hearings feature the dance stylings of Sean &#8216;Spicey&#8217; Spicer performing a salute to Carmen Miranda. Yeah, that would please Trump supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"323\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/schiffimpeachmenthearingentertainmentspicer.jpg\" alt=\"Sean Spicer, fresh from being voted off Dancing with the Stars, will be featured entertainment on the impeachment inquiry hearings performing his salute to Carmen Miranda.\" class=\"wp-image-7032\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/schiffimpeachmenthearingentertainmentspicer.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/schiffimpeachmenthearingentertainmentspicer-300x194.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 85vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption>Due to whining and crying from Republicans that the impeachment inquiries were boring, Adam Schiff announces that the hearings will now offer entertainment featuring the dance stylings of Sean Spicer.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The second week of impeachment hearings has passed and it certainly looks like America&#8217;s CEO\/Dictator Donald Trump is guilty as hell of a quid pro quo.
