I love Congressman Schiff. What an awesome warrior he has been and is. When you get done busting the Trump crime syndicate Adam, Iâd love to see you run for prez.

The Dems have learned the wrong lesson from Bill Clintonâs impeachment. By any sense of proportionality, Trumpâs crimes and treason are many orders of magnitude beyond Clintonâs sleazy sex life. The American people will get that if itâs presented clearly.
This is as stupid as the Dems learning from McGovern to never go left again. It wasnât McGovernâs positions, it was his weak presentation of them â much as it was Hillaryâs weak presentation that doomed her run, if less substantially.

This AP writer couldnât help inserting her editorial opinion into her article. Was there really an âuglyâ debate in Madame Speaker Pelosiâs caucus over how to word the denunciation of bigotry? Methinks not but this writer felt obligated to throw out something derogatory just to be continuing the false equivalency game right?

I stand to be corrected if I am offâŚbut Mueller is not finished by a long shot. And if thatâs the case, the fact that stories abound with âtheoriesâ that Pelosi said something about Impeachment at this time because she somehow knew that Mueller had too little on Trump to warrant Impeachment is misleading.
Iâll go with @grâŚand I certainly will not jump aboard the honeywagon with the narrative that âPelosi is foldingâ

Seriously, thereâs no reason but sheer prejudice and sophistry to think that Schiffâs age, sex, and ethnicity have anything to do with his reasoning here. Thatâs offensive. And thereâs no reason to assume he and Pelosi donât have a plan on this. Schiff has been very aggressively setting up and pursuing a serious investigation into everything Trump has done since the bastard was in knee pants. Heâs done a hell of a lot more than yell and posture on the interwebs. So I took issue with your original little thesis there, which you never actually did try to defend and I donât blame you.

Removing Trump is a wholly political process. It can be done, but it must be done meticulously and doggedly.
In Congress:
As the investigations continue and the evidence mounts, public opinion will start to swing. In moves of unabashed self-interest, Republicans in swing districts/states will begin to move into the impeach column. Once the number of votes has tipped, Articles of Impeachment will most likely be filed.
In the population:
Democratic voters and politicians need to coalesce around a single candidate for the presidency and for each open seat in Congress. We need to volunteer, even if we donât have time, and we need to get people to the polls.

Having been a member of Congress during President Bill Clintonâs impeachment, she saw the way the public turned on Republicans and helped Clinton win a second term.
Clinton was re-elected in 1996.
Impeachment wasnât an issue until the 1998 midterm elections (when Gingrich had to resign because the Republican leadership knew he was having an affair with an intern!).
Doesnât the AP have editors any more?

Trump is a great yellow head on a poisonous infection. To heal Democracy, we have to get to the taproot.
People seem to misunderstand what Impeachment is and what can be done with it. Complete coordinated investigation must continue without distractions.

Your point appears to be that the guy who is meticulously laying out a case for impeachment, without pulling the trigger too early and blowing our chance, is in fact not doing what he is obviously doing because he is a white male who has been in congress for 12 years. If this wasnât your point, please clarify.

So youâre snarking on people whoâll claim that by virtue of his age, sex, and tenure in office heâs wrong about this? If thatâs what youâre trying to say Iâll apologize but that sure wasnât clear and the Sanders crack didnât clarify it any.

Well honestly I once again did not understand your example or inference. Shiff being 58, white and male member of congress just didnât click in my brain. Your examples may just be too arcane?

There is now no scenario, no circumstance, no crime, no attack on our Constitution that would ever result in impeachment. Congress has been drooling to rid itself of that sacred responsibility because it would mean the Congressional Corruption Club is now free to operate with impunity. Impeachment is now nothing but an empty word to be used only when one party wants to appear loyal to the rule of law, but in reality itâs nothing but a hollow threat. Power in both parties is preserved and ensured as long as thereâs a nod and a wink regarding the âI wordâ. If Donald Trump canât be impeached, no one will ever be. Itâs disgusting to see how Pelosi and other Dems betray us and the nation. We need 200 AOCs and 60 Bernies in Congress, and we need them yesterday.
