The Time for Impeachment Is Here
Rolling Stone ^ | APRIL 19, 2019 | Jamil Smith

Posted on 04/19/2019 2:29:49 PM PDT by conservative98

Think about what happened here, about what is described in that report. The country’s elections were attacked by a foreign power. Russia is a vote suppressor. Understanding that,what motivation would this President have to move a finger to stop them? Or the Republican Party, for that matter? Theonly hope for accountability, perhaps before a court of law after Trump isno longer President, is theDemocratic Party that has the power to start impeachment proceedings.

Should Democrats take impeachment off thetable, they would let Trump get away with it. It is that elementary. There is no guarantee that he will not repeat the very same encouragement of those Russian efforts, all the while playing dumb so as to avoid legal culpability.

If Democrats were smarter,they would understand that initiating the impeachment of Trump might actually galvanize their base because it would demonstrate that leadership was willing to take the obvious, the logical and the constitutional step once presented with such an abundance of evidence. They would grasp that the visual of their party standing up to a president wedded equally to corruption and to his assortment of bigotries would be appealing to an electorate where black voters are increasingly driving the conversation.Democrats would seize upon the Mueller Report as a flashpoint for organization and recruitment, rather than take the task of prosecution that the Constitution assigned to Congress, hand it off to voters and call that “democracy.”It is up to us as citizens to choose our elected officials, not to do their jobs for them.

All this anger from theseearly Democratic soundbites, I do wonder where it is going and whether it will ever find a more productive home than a cable news segment or my inbox. Impeaching Barr for performing as Trump’s defense attorney would be a good place to start

We'll see how smart they are, but impeachment, which CANNOT result in a 66 Senator conviction and removal, will galvanize the opposition.

Have at it, Dems. Take the advice of a Rolling Stone typist. It'll be the best TV show of the summer.

I guess Rolling Stone cannot afford journalists with a High School diploma and are forced to hire people like Jamil.

Just part of the ongoing effort to keep Americans from overcoming the liberals.

I’m more interested in what Creem magazine has to say about politics in 2019. Or Oui.

"Russia is a vote suppressor"

No, WAVES UPON WAVES OF ILLEGAL ALIENS AIDED AND ABETTED BY THE DEMONRATS are vote suppressors.

[ the intersection of politics and identity. ]

That’s one of those “smart” things that only liberals understand, don’tcha know.

It’s the intersection of multiculturalism, yogurt and yoga.

“..If a civil war comes out of this...”

There’s no “if” about it.

There is no longer even the pretense of coexistence with these lunatics.

What do the democrats have as an impeachable offense, Rolling Stone? I cannot see anything that qualifies under the Constitution of the United States. These democratic goofs have been yelling impeachment since the man was elected. Rolling Stone sounds like Maxine Waters.

These crazies are in huge denial and are irrational.

Problem is they have giga dollars and are very powerful and influential. I don’t mean just Rolling Stone, the whole corrupt system.

Yeah, the dumba** actually brags about his identity politics.

That is how far away from reality the proglibs actually are.

They are nucking futs.

Their desired time for impeachment is indeed here — just as America goes into the next election campaign. However, they’ve got nothing. Nada nil zilch to charge pdjt with. Two years of expensive investigations and provocations —they’ve come up empty handed. Ha! As Robert Burns observed years ago, ““The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men / Gang aft a-gley.” (awry).

Hi.

“Should Democrats take impeachment off thetable, they would let Trump get away with it.”

No where in the article is, “it” defined.

No law or statute stated having been violated.

Oh, it’s the “Rolling Stone.” Never mind.

I favor the House impeaching Trump because it will boost his popularity into the stratosphere if, and only if, Romney can be taken off the board somehow (nonviolently, of course).

With Romney coming out for removal, all bets are off.

With the Mueller report a big goose egg, Leftists know they’re in deep doo doo so they want to try a Hail Mary pass. But, desperation makes for poor optics.
