Congress has the evidence of crimes. It is their duty to impeach. This isn't even debatable. To ignore these crimes, to play politics with the decision, would make a mockery of the constitution and of the American system of government.

In order to complete this task impeachment proceedings gather all the evidence needed for a trial which takes place in the senate. Which is why impeachment proceedings should begin immediately.

(1,201 posts)Failure to impeach will hurt us badly at the polls...even if Trump loses reelection we will be seen as cowardly dems who (once again) refuse to hold repub presidents accountable for their criminal behavior. Then this "both sides" are complicit meme will take root or the what's the difference so why vote...especially if we run a moderate old time repub light dem.

1) Democrats will be seen as wimps by the voters;
2) Voter apathy will increase when voters see one party of criminals (Republicans) and the other party (Democrats) as being too weak to bring them to justice.
3) It will embolden Trump tremendously;
4) It will embolden the Russians even more.

Every day this man - who thinks he is god - wipes his ass with the Constitution. He makes a mockery of our legal system. He ignores the checks and balances on the Executive Branch. He lies every time he speaks. The evil he enables daily is has no limits.
It is no longer a question of should we. It is now an issue that goes to the very heart of America.
Failure to impeach will destroy this country.
