In July, President Trump spoke to Ukrainian President Zelensky and strongly implied that US aid would be withheld until such time as the Ukrainians investigated Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden. In August, a whistle-blower within the Intelligence Community filed a complaint that the Inspector General found to be credible and urgent. Two weeks ago, a formal impeachment inquiry began in the House of Representatives, and the unofficial transcript of the phone call was released. Last week, Rudy Guiliani, the President's personal attorney, was subpoenaed by the House of Representatives, and the President asked the nation of China to investigate the Bidens.
In Oedipus Rex, we see a monarch that is both insecure and overly confident. These factors combine to bring about his downfall. We see these same factors at play in the current scandal. The President acted similarly to Oedipus and chose to act off of his insecurities by asking a foreign government to dig up dirt on a political opponent. He then responded to the fallout of this action by acting overly confident, releasing the transcript of the call, and prompting other governments to interfere in the election. Much like Oedipus, this fatal combination of insecurity and over-confidence may lead to the President's downfall.

Dear Andrew (and to a much lesser extent Brandon),
I hope that this blog post finds you doing well. I am responding to your blog post with a question for Andrew; why did you allow Brandon to drag you down?
It is obvious that Brandon, in spite of his general stupidity, somehow convinced you to write down his incoherent neanderthal-like ramblings into something much more discernible. I commend you for your efforts in this, however, I must tell you that you unfortunately fell flat. It just goes to show that no matter how much of that classic Andrew Holmes Gary polish you put on him, the disgusting Brandon Clementine Stokes residue will always seep out.
Brandon clearly did not take into account that Oedipus committed the taboo of incest, and the President has only ever gone as far as say his daughter is incredibly attractive and he WOULD date her.
Oh Andrew, I so wish you would stop hanging out with that creature known as Brandon and let him rot in peace.
Sincerely,
Tanner Sykes
Tanner,
Quite frankly, I am shocked that someone who has posted such asinine drivel as "I Can Do Bad All By Myself" could actually produce something reminiscent of an intelligible thought. Your Madea/Medea post surely shows the epitome of your jejune content that is so clearly just an attempt to complete the bare minimum required. How can you take yourself seriously when your most recent post has all of the constitution of, "Medea sounds like Madea, Ha HA Funny JOKE!" Frankly most of the inane rubbish you post on this blog reminds me of Oedipus' family tree, short and incoherent. A few words to the wise, those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Sincerely,
Brandon Clementine Stokes
