That stain at the very least needs to be beside trump's for all of history;
The Democrat in the House needs to do their job. Let all the dirt on trump and his assholes be dragged out on live tv for all to see.
I don't think that we should weigh in the calculation of how the Senate would vote JMHO

(2,227 posts)If he is impeached by the house, will the senate follow suit?
If he is impeached by both houses, is he then out of office, giving us Pence?
Would "impeachment" be considered a sufficient punishment, with no further actions taken? Could charges then be filed against turdface?
Would impeachment of turdface allow Pence to have a hasty rehabilitation of the GOP, allowing all those discontented to return to the fold, and Pence's election in 2020?
I want to see him die in jail.
If necessary I can forgo impeachment to achieve that result.
With all the coming investigations I would think that at this point he won't get much accomplished during his remaining two years. Hopefully there would be enough around him who wouldn't cooperate, so we wouldn't end up in WWIII... or some such similar diversion.
Just some thoughts and questions...

This is no way to run a government. The chaotic Executive Branch is digging a grave for our democracy.
Barr may think he's put Dems between a rock and a hard place regarding impeachment. But his tactics and maneuvers during this episode have been upended by his incompetence. The only next step for him is to resign.
So I'm for Trump impeachment hearings to begin. Next year's election is too far in the future. If we don't slow Trump down he and his cohorts could steal that election, too, with help from the Russians once again. A death knell for our nation as we know it.

(6,033 posts)At this point there is a strong possibility that impeachment will not be followed through in the Senate, but that is irrelevant.
It is also possible that the process will drag on into the election cycle next year, but that is also irrelevant.
The Democrats must do it if they are to maintain any degree of honor and respect in the eyes of the people of this country,
If they don't then there is a very good chance that Trump will be re-elected.
If they don't do it, Trump's battle cry will be "no collusion", and that will energize his base and persuade many in the middle that it was all a witch hunt and Trump was being wrongfully persecuted.
The point here is that impeachment and removal from office would be great, but the most important thing is to have as much of the truth put out in front of the American People as possible.
It's the duty of the Democrats in the House to expose the wrong doing of the president.
If the republicans refuse to go along...well I think the American People will see them as covering up for Trump.
I think the republicans would find the 2020 election would not go well for them.
The Blue Wave of 2018 must become a Blue Tsunami in 2020.
The fate of the Republic is at stake.
