According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the last known witch trial took place in 1782.  That’s not true.  There’s one going on right now.  Since 2016, Democrats have resurrected the witch trials that made Salem, Massachusetts famous.  Of course, President Trump is their latter day witch.  The parallels are striking.  In 1692, two young girls in Salem exhibited strange behavior that included fits, screaming, odd sounds, throwing things, contorting their bodies, and complaints of biting and pinching sensations.  The girls attributed their behavior to witchcraft.  (Last week’s U.N. speech by Greta Thunberg is a recent example of such behavior).  Officials demanded that the girls identify the witches, so they provided names.  The accused were hauled into court, where the judges admitted “spectral evidence,”  testimony that the spirits of the defendants appeared to the witnesses in dreams and attacked them.  Those who confessed escaped severe punishment.  When the defendants testified, their alleged victims writhed, whimpered, and babbled in the gallery, seemingly providing evidence of the specter’s demonic presence.  Minister Cotton Mather warned of the dubious value of spectral evidence.  The warning went unheeded, until Massachusetts Governor Phipps’ wife was accused.  Then the rules of evidence changed.  Sound familiar?  However, it was too late for the 19 people executed for witchcraft.  Years later, the Massachusetts General Court apologized and declared the trials unlawful.  It is believed that the two girls who set off the hysteria blamed the others to excuse their own misbehavior.  Fast forward 324 years to 2016.  Donald Trump is elected President, and Democrats begin to exhibit strange behaviors.  They have fits of screaming, they utter odd sounds, they throw things, tear their hair, contort their bodies, and complain of chronic pain, which they attribute to Donald Trump’s election, which they claim was brought about by Trump’s collusion with the Devil.  Satan, Putin, whatever.   The Democrats proceed to denounce the “witches” who were in league with Trump, and to put them on trial.  Flynn, Papadopolous, Manafort, Stone, etc.  Like the defendants in Salem, the accused may escape punishment if they admit that they did the Devil’s bidding, but those who fail to confess are condemned.  As in Salem, our government appointed a special magistrate to investigate the demonic possessions.  But even though the magistrate, Cotton Mueller, changed the rules of evidence, he was unable to prove that the President colluded with the Devil to gain his position or obstructed justice.  However, the aggrieved Democrats persisted in their complaints of pain and suffering at the hands of President Trump.  Clearly, Trump was still bewitching them, and he had to be stopped.  Exorcisms were the fashion in the 17th Century.  Today’s Democrats have substituted impeachment for exorcism.  The result is the same.  Either way the Devil is removed.  The Dems have made a number of accusations they say prove Trump is a witch.  As in Salem, they accused him of sexual misconduct.  They complained about Trump’s having women sign non-disclosure agreements.  (Mimicking the 1692 testimony of the slave Tituba, who testified that she was forced to sign the Devil’s book).  The latest accusation involves a congratulatory telephone call between the President and newly elected Ukranian President Zelensky.  A nameless, faceless “whistleblower,” a/k/a saboteur, who has been identified as a CIA agent (a former underling of John Brennan, whose strange behaviors instigated the Russian collusion hoax) alleged that, in the phone call, the President “crossed the line.”  We were told that Trump demanded that Zelensky give him dirt on Joe Biden, or else Ukraine wouldn’t get foreign aid.  That turned out not to be true.  We were told that Trump mentioned Biden 8 times in the call.  That wasn’t true either.  When pressed, Trump declassified and released a transcript of the phone call.  The transcript shows that the two talked about Europeans having  to do more to help Ukraine.  Zelensky wanted to buy more weapons.  Zelensky told Trump he wants to drain his own swamp in Ukraine, and it was who Zelensky made mention of Rudy Giuliani.  Trump asked Zelensky to do a favor, and look into the Crowdstrike company, which was hired by the DNC to inspect Hillary Clinton’s private server.  Crowdstrike announced it had found Russian hacking, and reportedly has the server, which the DNC refused to let the FBI inspect.  (Uh huh, and Trump is colluding with Ukraine?)  Trump offered the help of Giuliani and the Justice Department and told Zelensky, “I would like to get to the bottom of it.”  (Some extortion, huh?)   The President also mentioned the firing of the Ukranian prosecutor who was investigating Joe Biden’s son, right after Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in aid.  Biden bragged about this on video.   Trumps asked Zelensky to “look into it.”  For this, the Democrats are screaming, contorting their bodies and accusing the President of perpetrating “a typical mob boss shakedown” of Zelensky.  The alleged victim, Mr. Zelensky, says he did not then, nor does he now feel pressured in any way.  He’s obviously been bewitched by Trump as well.  They dragged the Director of National Intelligence into the Intelligence Committee run by Adam Schiff (for brains).  Schiff for brains made an opening statement condemning Trump for threatening Zelensky, demanding that he get him dirt on his political opponent Joe Biden, and ordering Zelensky not to call back until he had done what he was ordered to do.  Schiff’s media accomplices writhed, whimpered, and babbled on the air.  None of what Schiff said happened during the call.  Read the transcript.  Schiff for brains apparently was giving spectral evidence.  Perhaps he dreamed up the schiff that he’s peddling for truth.   It turns out a group of Dem Senators did write to Ukrainian officials to demand that they cooperate with Cotton Mueller to get Trump, ordering Ukraine to report any attempt by the President to hinder their witch hunt.  Democrats had the report of the phone call in August, they have done this now only because Trump’s poll numbers are up.  They have to knock him down.  Once again, Democrats are blaming their own misbehavior on “a witch.”  One thing is sure.  When this witch hunt ends, the Democrats won’t issue an apology.
