“The Dems Wet Themselves”

Poltroon? Now there’s a word we should re-establish in our vocabulary (“Chronicle’s long history with impeachment,” John Diaz column, December 22). There can be no better term for those utter cowards in the United States Senate who refuse to countenance the plain truth that the sitting president is in no manner worthy of his high office.

Yesterday evening, Katherine and I watched The King's Speech (2010), which neither of us had seen. We watched it at home on DVD, as part of our attempt to watch all the Academy-Award-winning films since Midnight Cowboy in 1969. The King's Speech won Best Picture and Colin Firth Best Actor for his role as King George VI. (He ascended to the throne near the end of the movie.) The movie was riveting, especially as I was unaware of the historical situation regarding this king. The acting was very good. It must have been hard for Firth to pretend to be a stammerer, but he pulled it off. Geoffrey Rush was superb as the voice coach and Helena Bonham Carter was impressive as the future king's wife. In a way, this was a buddy movie, like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Midnight Cowboy. I like buddy movies.Here is the trailer.

Despite all of the great success that our Country has had over the last 3 years, it makes it much more difficult to deal with foreign leaders (and others) when I am having to constantly defend myself against the Do Nothing Democrats & their bogus Impeachment Scam. Bad for USA!

Re: “Influential evangelical magazine calls for the president’s removal” [Dec. 20, A6]:
President Donald Trump’s response to the Christianity Today editorial calling for his removal from office does more to make the case for why he should be removed from office than anything else. Trump’s tweet contains this line: “No President has done more for the Evangelical community, and it’s not even close.” In it, he succinctly reveals his view of government.
As usual, his corrupt message is: I do stuff for them, so they should be loyal and do stuff for me. This is Trump’s core bilateralism that got him into trouble in Ukraine, and informs all his dealings. It is who he is.
Government enables people to achieve collectively what they cannot do individually, whether building interstate systems or feeding the needy. It is not an individual’s, or even a party’s, leverage to barter handouts in exchange for votes. Evangelicals don’t owe Trump anything for his politically cynical support. It is simply his job to serve the body politic.
It is time for Evangelicals to stop pandering to Trump’s narcissism—and for him to stop expecting loyalty and favors in return for misuse of influence.
