House impeachment proceedings have helped — not hurt — President Trump’s approval in the eyes of voters, and in the latest survey, his rating has turned positive thanks to a massive revolt against impeachment by independents.
The just-released Emerson Poll found that 48% approve of Trump, and 47% do not.
What’s more, support for impeachment is now negative, a finding that backs up other recent polling.
It's been a while since I mined this poem for mockery. So let's have another go, eh?
The Charge of the Schiff Brigade
I
Fake outrage, fake outrage,
Fake outrage onward,
All in the valley of Impeachment
Showed that Schiff blundered.
“Forward, the Schiff Brigade!
Charge quid pro quo!” he said.
Into the valley of Impeachment
Showed that Schiff blundered.
II
“Forward, the Schiff Brigade!”
Was Pelosi dismayed?
Not though the committee knew
Someone had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to inquire and try.
Into the valley of Impeachment
Showed that Schiff blundered.
III
Bombshells to right of them,
Game changers to left of them,
Cameras in front of them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at by Nunes and Jordan,
Boldly they goad and bore in,
Into the witnesses of Intel,
Into the tweets of Trump
Showed that Schiff blundered.
IV
Flashed all Deep Staters' glare,
Flashed as they're live on air
Savoring the camera's stare,
Charging high crimes, while
All the world wondered.
Applauded by their bubble's woke
Trump's plight was their masterstroke;
Fox News and Russian
Reeled from inquiry stroke
Shattered and sundered.
Then they looked back, but not
Not that Schiff blundered.
V
Bombshells to right of them,
Game changers to left of them,
Cameras in front of them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at by Nunes and Jordan,
While source and hero fell.
They that had inquired so well
Came through the tweets of Trump,
Back from the mouth of hell,
All that was left of them,
After Schiff blundered.
VI
When can their anger fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Schiff Brigade,
Futile. Schiff blundered!
Much could change in time. Perhaps the horse will sing. But for now the inquiry looks like a blunder.
With thanks to this site for the original.
UPDATE: Is polling a warning sign to Democrats that Schiff blundered?
UPDATE: If you change "washing machine" to "search for a crime" and "cat" to "Schiff" I think this Gif is spot on.
