Political Discussion
| There's no real political upside to impeachment for Democrats. The chances of the Senate removing Trump are almost zero. So, it's pretty easy to take the Dems at face value when they say they're doing it because a President shouldn't be allowed to use public money to invite a foreign power to interfere in our elections on his behalf. |
+1 So disconnected from reality... |
Oh, I think the Democrats thought that there would be upside in trying to damage Trump. It may end up misfiring badly based on the recent polling. Abuse of power and obstruction of Congress are pretty nebulous concepts to most Americans. And, quite honestly, it does not help when the front runner for the Democratic nomination has a son who was totally unqualified for the position he got in Ukraine making a million dollars a year ..... quite apart from his personal foibles. It affirms for most Americans that the system is fundamentally corrupt. |
| This is a snooze fest without more in depth details. Where is the seamen covered dress or a debate about what constitutes sexual relations. |

All Dems need is strong voter turnout. Impeachment is making Dems fired up and supportive of the party.
On top of it being the correct thing to do, professionally, it's smart politically. |
Yeah, let's go back to a time when Gingrich impeached a POTUS for fibs about a consensual (if immoral) affair.

DP: In fairness, it really has been tedious ..... and I tend to be a political junkie. It is borne out by the low viewership of the hearings. |
| I'm sure I'm not the first person to make this observation, but the 2018 election results may be very helpful to Trump's 2020 reelection. It gives him something to run against (Pelosi/impeachment) and purged his side of many of his weakest supporters, including the 23 GOP House members who retired ahead of the election. And by holding the Senate, Trump is not at all threatened by impeachment. |

I never realized that Schumer has a sense of humor!

This is why many Americans don't take this impeachment seriously. Just a whole lot of raging hypocrisy, whether it is Schumer's ludicrous pronouncements or Nancy wearing black and saying she is praying for Trump! |
Well yeah, Im looking for entertainment. Plus think we all were happier back then, unless of course you're a Trumpster? |
| The GOP Reps are like a trash parade! Shout-rant-drool, one dumbass after the other. They all want Twitter recognition from their shitbag orange master. It’s just beyond pathetic. |
|
I wish the dems would cut that crap about being sad etc...
They need to keep drilling easy to digest facts. He’s abusing his office He’s asking foreigners to interfere That’s illegal It makes all of us less secure. Rinse Repeat |

Did y'all see God's latest tweet?
God @TheTweetOfGod · 6m God rest ye merry congressmen, Let nothing you dismay. Remember Trump’s behavior On this Impeachment Day. And save us all from Cheeto’s power That led the world astray. Oh findings of blackmail and fraud, Blackmail and fraud. Oh findings of blackmail and fraud. |
I've only seen white males speak for the GOP. It's a dying party. |
| I think the optics are poor for angry dems trying to impeach during the holiday season. they should have waited until next year. |
