Take This Impeachment And Shove It...

Norrin, I lost track of your post but I did review the NPR article. I still think 35% is an indicator of a very strong candidacy - and refutes Jim's 'all large donors' claim, but I concede that it is not the majority of Trump's fundraising.

A Scotsman found a trumpet growing among the vegetables in his garden. So he rooted it oot.

This is what we should do with Trump; he simply does not belong in the garden.

Good, now see if the Senate votes to subpoena them.

So what if they don't? This should have happened in the House inquiry - and if the House didn't have time to fight out subpoenas, why would the Senate?

If the Senate follows the House's example, it won't bother risking time consuming court battles and will just acquit.

We told you so.

What's this 'we', Kemosabe? Go tend your own garden, furriner, and quit attempting to interfere in American elections.

Andrew Yang warns Democrats: 'Stop being obsessed over impeachment'

Yang doesn't stand a chance as a Democrat Nominee... he makes WAY too much sense on this, and a number of other issues.





ETA: HUSH, Andrew, HUSH!

Actually that would apply to republicans.

Interesting Pelosi quote in your signature because it seems that impeachment has not moved public opinion, meaning that the division was already ingrained. Impeachment tells the voters that the House has done everything it could do, it shows that the Senate is scared to oppose Trump and it leaves the voters, in spite of Repub voter suppression tactics, to make the decisive move against incipient tyranny.

When the result of their efforts was to cause a decrease in support for impeachment that shows it wasn't engrained but rather that their case for impeachment was, in the words of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a "shoddy work product."

Pretty much, yes, and everybody knew the outcome of the game before the first pitch was thrown.

Impeachment tells the voters that the House has done everything it could do,

That's not the purpose of impeachment. But it is definitely used that way today - and the Democrats botched it badly.

it shows that the Senate is scared to oppose Trump and it leaves the voters,

Wow. The impeachment sham was incredibly partisan, with the ONLY bi-partisanship being some Democrats who voted no, and LOSING public support.

in spite of Repub voter suppression tactics, to make the decisive move against incipient tyranny.

You really are amusing. (you were channeling JimL there, weren't you?)

On the contrary, I would love to see Shifty Schiff, Quid Pro Joe, Hunter, and Eric "Not Really A Whistleblower" Ciaramella put on the stand.

Oh, but the Democrats don't want Republicans to call those witnesses.

I'm starting to come around to this position as well. It's still a waste of time and money from an impeachment perspective, but it would make for great political theater.

Matters not to me either way --- I don't think there's a person on the planet who actually believes the Senate would vote to convict and remove, so... But, yeah.

I do enjoy this sort of thing:
WaPo of course.
