(9,897 posts)This whole idea that Impeachment was some kind of means to an end (removing Trump from office) has always been a fallacy. The GOP Senate has SHOWN they will do nothing that is against Trump's desires, so removal from office is not going to happen...
BUT!!!!
History will not look kindly on the current leadership or Democrats who cravenly support a 'do-nothing' approach in the face of clearly criminal acts by a president that was already installed under at best suspicious circumstances with aid from hostile foreign powers. Impeachment inquiries are the only way to shed light on the depth of the obstruction from this White House and to put the GOP on record FOREVER as saying "well...obstruction of justice is not REALLY a crime and we think Trump should be allowed to ignore the rule of law."
Apparently a good percentage of the Democratic Party is A-OK with letting Trump walk totally free of consequences...there should be a permanent stain on this president and instead our leaders are content to hand him bleach and soap and call it a day...
We look weak because we ARE weak. Americans HATE to appear weak...you do the 2020 math from there gang, but it ain't pretty.
