AM pundits are saying Impeachment is coming today.

The timing of it is the only question.

3/4 of House Dems support it now. I think the caucus meets at 4 PM.

Call your reps (202) 224-3121 and pressure them.

Call Pelosi too. We must pressure all of them to impeach, we can't put all our eggs in one basket and "hope" 2020 will be our victory. He is doing anything he can to stay out of jail so we must stop this. Our democracy is in jeopardy.

Here is a list of the 137 Dems in the House who are for impeachment...

Why Republicans Play Dirty

"They fear that if they stick to the rules, they will lose everything. Their behavior is a threat to democratic stability."

"Why is the Republican Party playing dirty? Republican leaders are not driven by an intrinsic or ideological contempt for democracy. They are driven by fear."

"Democracy requires that parties know how to lose. Politicians who fail to win elections must be willing to accept defeat, go home, and get ready to play again the next day. This norm of gracious losing is essential to a healthy democracy."

"American democracy faces a Catch-22: Republicans won’t abandon their white identity bunker strategy until they lose, but at the same time that strategy has made them so averse to losing they are willing to bend the rules to avoid this fate. There is no easy exit. Republican leaders must either stand up to their base and broaden their appeal or they must suffer an electoral thrashing so severe that they are compelled to do so."

About BigmanPigman

I am 57, retired teacher and illustrator, life-long dem., activist, union member. Also I do not use social media and I'm technologically retarded. I love dogs, rock music and swearing (a lot). My 17 year old "puppy" died on June 2, 2020. She grew up listening to Animals (Pink Floyd). She has kept me sane through the tRump years, not easy, and has given me endless love, companionship, kisses and tail wags.
