The TRUMP letter to Pelosi and a COLUMNIST's parody of it

By Carol-Ann Rudy
I'm assuming--perhaps wrongly--that you've read his [Trump] infamous letter to Pelosi from yesterday (17); that's what prompted me to write this parody*
*EDITOR: We have attached it in its entirety after the parody so you can compare. The words in capitals are taken from this Trump letter.
Parody by Carol-Ann Rudy
TO:
President Donald J. Trump
Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear President Trump:
I write to express my strongest and
most powerful protest against the partisan impeachment crusade being
pursued by the REPUBLICAN, YOU, in the WHITE HOUSE. This impeachment
represents an unprecedented CONSTITUTIONALLY SUPPORTED ACTION by
Democrat Lawmakers, unequalled in nearly two and a half centuries of
American legislative history.
The Articles of Impeachment introduced
by the House Judiciary Committee ARE RECOGNIZABLE under any standard
of Constitutional theory, interpretation or jurisprudence, and THEY
INCLUDE SOME, BUT NOT ALL, OF the CRIMES, MISDEMEANORS, and OFFENSES
with which you have been charged. YOU have cheapened the importance
of the word Impeachment AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN THE STRUCTURE OF OUR
GOVERNMENT!
By proceeding with THE VALID
IMPEACHMENT, the MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES is HONORING
their oaths of office and their allegiance to the Constitution, and
it is YOU who is declaring open war on American Democracy. YOU dare
to ATTEMPT TO BLOCK the House of Representatives’ pursuit of the
Founding Fathers’ intent, clearly outlined in the CONSTITUTION—yet
YOUR spiteful actions display unfettered contempt for America’s
founding and YOUR egregious conduct threatens to destroy that which
our Founders pledged their very lives to build. Even worse then YOU
offending the Founding Fathers, YOU are offending Americans of faith
by continually claiming that YOU pray for the country when YOU know
this statement is not true, because it is a negative. It is a
terrible thing YOU are doing, but YOU will have to live with it, not
the people of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
YOUR “Abuse of Power” and YOUR
DEFENSE OF IT, is a completely disingenuous, meritless, and baseless
invention of YOUR imagination. WE KNOW that YOU had a totally
indefensible conversation with the President of Ukraine. YOU then had
a second conversation which, BY YOUR OWN WORDS, has NOT BEEN
misquoted, mischaracterized, NOR fraudulently misrepresented.
Fortunately, there were NOTES, not a TRANSCRIPT, (notes which you
made available) in which YOU CLAIM that the paragraph in question was
perfect. In it, YOU said to President Zelensky: “I would like you
to do us a favor, though, because our country has been through a lot
and Ukraine knows a lot about it.” YOU said do US a favor, not
ME—DISREGARDING THE WORD “US” WHICH, WHEN SPEAKING AS
PRESIDENT, REPRESENTS OUR COUNTRY, AND IT DOES REPRESENT YOUR
CAMPAIGN though you claim otherwise. YOU then mentioned the Attorney
General of the United States. Every time YOU talk with a foreign
leader, YOU PUT YOUR OWN INTERESTS FIRST, NOT America’s interests
first, just as YOU DID with President Zelensky.
…..and the letter goes on and on….you can refer to the six-page diatribe that originated with President Trump. [see attachment]
LASTLY: One hundred years from now,
when people look back at this affair, WE THE PEOPLE and THE CONGRESS
OF THE UNITED STATES NEED to UNDERSTAND and LEARN from the
Impeachment, so that NO PRESIDENT will ever put him or herself in
this situation again.
Sincerely yours,
CAROL-ANN RUDY
A RECOVERING REPUBLICAN, now a Democrat
