Darts and Laurels: Oct. 18

The air feels more crisp than usual. You look up to see a dark clouded sky framed by large pine trees and leaves rustling in the cool wind. You’re suddenly thankful you wore your hoodie and jeans. It seems like autumn is finally here. With midterms over, you have time to enjoy one of the finer things in life — pumpkin patches.

There’s no reason to impeach Donald Trump

Over a week ago, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that the House of Representatives was launching an official impeachment inquiryinto President Donald Trump. The announcement came after reports emerged of an anonymous whistle-blower complaint regarding a phone call between Trump and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. It was thought that Trump had pressured Zelensky during the call for political dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden in exchange for foreign aid. And before any details were known about the call, Pelosi accused Trump of “betraying his oath of office,” invoking the founders’s constitutional vision of impeachment to remove a sitting president.
