Impeachment is a political act, there doesn’t need to be a “reason”, as a practical matter.

They do need something to kind of hang their hat on, and repeat ad nauseam, over and over, as their talking points on the “news” programming to demagogue the issue. That’s why they call it programming. That’s what this is about.

Inhad forgotten, or never really knew, how popular Richard Nixon was in 1972, he won something like 520 Electoral College votes, and the popular vote was ~ 69 million to 37 million. Yet he was setup and taken down. He was actually kind of liberal in a lot of ways, but he was anti Communist, and the leftists certainly never forgave him for that.

Nixon imposed wage and price controls on everyone, created OSHA, established the Environmental Protection Agency, so yeah.

That ain't happening this time.

This time, the Dems are gonna end up on DC cherry trees if they want to push it that far.
