The case not to impeach

NONE!

With the new RGB health scare, with Donnie melting down daily, there is no logical reason not to impeach. At some point you need to lead, and the average American will reward Dems for actually leading.

Conversely, waiting for the election will allow Donnie shit for brains and the repukes to drive the narrative AND display to the middle that Dems are afraid to do what is right.

FFS this isn't a hard decision.

WTF is going on with the Texas (R) Congress members retiring?

I live in the OC which flipped blue in 2018. In our case we saw six to ten (maybe as high as 11) point R victories in 2016 get eliminated in 2018.

We had multiple factors in play. We never elected the flat out ignorant Repukes other than the Huntington Beach/Costa Mesa district (Dana Rorhbacher) which has a lot of older defense contractor retirees. Thus offspring who felt the Hispanics caused their problems. The defense contracting jobs left to the South in the late 80's so they never got the decent paying jobs like their father, so the MAGAt BS worked on them.

Also every third resident moved into the County since the late 80's, so we have a mixture of other US and International residents impacting our transition.

The sharp Repubs also realized that tRump literally fucked them with the tax law. People with huge mortgages saw write offs capped. But many didn't realize it until this April. Seeing that NJ districts with similar demographics also flipped, I would have to guess that the tax law had an impact, but also the fact that we are a very diverse society. I can't think of an area in the OC that is anywhere near the breakdown when I went to HS, (80% white, 20% Hispanic, with most of the Hispanics striving to get the middle class, while most of the whites were middle class) so I think numerous people saw through the tRump racial division. AND I am not concerned about the newly won seats in 2020 because now a shitload of ignorant repubs just got screwed on taxes. And when I say screwed, they took a 10 to 20k impact due to dipshit Donnie.

So back to my Texas question. they have no State taxes, but did the April tax shock hit many areas in Texas hard this April. The impact wouldn't be as great as in CA, NY, NJ, WA. But did these newly growing suburbs take a huge hit thus the Repuke Congresspeople running for the exits? If not, what is causing these people to drop?

And wouldn't it be so fucking sweet if Dipshit Donnie expedited the transition of Texas from Red to Blue!

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!

What will it take? We need to stop this shit now.

Threads about people afraid of going to a mall, going to a sporting event, because they are afraid of being shot.

You want to know the threats I dealt with growing up? Don't eat unwrapped candy or fruit on Halloween. Come home, throw away the unwrapped candy and apples and move on.

My kids, the oldest has completed undergrad. She gets together with her High School friends every New Years eve. About a dozen kids, 10 of them had active shooters on campus during their four years. She had a friend killed in his final quarter of college. A skinny assed, always smiling kid whose parents were missionaries, a half a fucking world away when their son was executed by some disgruntled prick with access to guns. A kid who was getting straight A's but would attend class rarely. A kid who was called out by another friend for not attending classes so made a promise that he would show up for every class his last quarter. So the kid who challenged him to attend every class lives with survivors guilt, a kid who was in tears at her graduation because of her challenge to a friend.

Second kid had to take a test in a student center guarded by campus police due to a shooting threat. Calls in tears after the test because she had to be escorted off campus. She heard Security talking on radios throughout the test. Walks out and sees fear in one of the guards who says, let's get you off campus.

Seriously! My mother told me not to eat any candy prior to getting home, made me dump the candy on the floor and then pointed out what to throw away. I recall one year her even joking about it and popping an unwrapped candy into her mouth and saying it was too good to throw out but I couldn't eat it. Her point being, we are probably going too far, but better safe than sorry.

WTF, now it is you can't go to a mall, to a football game, to a concert. The solutions aren't that difficult. We are going to need to knock some heads to implement the solutions.

So six Repubs retire prior to the Summer recess and the "liberal" MSM says ...

That they have a conscience

No they are fucking cowards who are exiting prior to taking heat for being cowards.

If they thought they could win their district they would stay.

The shit got waist high and they pulled themselves out and left their constituents.

If they were leaders, if they were Patriots, they would have come out strongly against tRump.

Instead, they are taking the Ryan/Gowdy approach. Slink away, stay silent for a bit, collect a big pay check.

Fuck each and every one of these wimps.
