Recycling Resistance

 SHORTLY AFTER TRUMP took office, I affixed an "Unfit to Serve, Impeach Trump" bumper sticker to my bumper. It fit. I gotta lotta dirty looks, tail-gators, and horn honkers in my small conservative southern town, but no bullets, yet, and, I remain unfazed. Trump people , we have recently learned, are violent but cowardly, while anti-Trumpers are peaceful and undaunted by thugs. The sticker worked like a charm, impeaching the corrupt president. I was thus confronted with the daunting task of removing an obsolete artifact, an outdated automotive tattoo, ready for retirement.  but I procrastinated, my one failing, and the sticker stayed, fading and fraying. People mad the predictable jokes, and my standard rejoinder became: "you never know, I may need it again". My joke turned out to be prophetic. By and by Trump screwed up again, this time big time, and got impeached, again. A seemingly no longer needed bumper sticker, suddenly useful again. Who woulda thunk it? It could be argued that, considering the kind of criminal Trump is, that he got impeached a second time was somewhat predictable, but, let's not argue the point. One needn't have the powers of Nostradamus to predict accurately that Donald Trump will find some way to get into trouble, but, in my case, it was purely serendipitous. At this point, with less than a week remaining in Trump's term (hallelujah)  it is hardly likely that he will get impeached yet a third time, but, as I said before, you never know, and, well, the sticker is still on my car, though faded and more tattered by time and the elements than ever. It certainly isn't physically impossible. In fact, every day, first thin I do when arising is check out the news, to see whether Trump has orchestrated any more mob uprisings against the Untied States on his way out the door. Until Next Wednesday actually comes and goes, anything is possible, and Trumpers are apparently going to make one last desperate attempt to overthrow the Biden administration on inauguration day itself. I should probably replace the sticker with a new one reading: "convict and incarcerate Trump". and I will, if I can find one, when the impeachment trial begins. But my old friend the bumper sticker ma not  be quite done yet. Like Yogi Berra probably famously never said: "It aint over till its over".
