The once distant and gauzy fantasy of impeaching President Donald Trump is becoming very real for Democrats, just not quite how they wanted or expected it to. As we move into public testimony this week, the wheels of presidential removal are stuck in deeper mud than ever. The polls have been flat or reversing back Trump’s way for weeks despite alleged bombshell revelations, and the worst could be yet to come if and when the issue moves to the Senate.
Over the weekend, many Democrats and media allies moved away from the dulcet sound of the Latin “quid pro quo” to the more menacing “extortion” and “bribery,” imagining using a dead language is hurting their messaging.

When the Democrats’ public hearing resembles the trial scene in Idiocracy, you’ll know they’ve hit rock bottom.
I’ve seen enough to know to not count on the Senate GOP to have a spine. If there ever was a time the left (i.e. Soros) would bride and blackmail Senate members into a decision, this would be it.
I’m pretty sure Schiff’s hearings in the bunker already look like that.
It’s a crass fundraising tool for the Dems. Red meat to boost their demoralized and seething base.
Of course, it has boosted the fundraising success of their nemesis even more. And having waited until they were on the cusp of an election year, utterly foolish.
Their best hope was an economic downturn in September 2020 that their candidate could level political haymakers with; now, they have probably also obliterated that one ‘hope’; as an actual impeachment proceeding will fail to remove Trump, and make him nearly invincible.
When you have absolutely no shame, no sense of honor, and the media will do nearly anything to cover for you, a Senate trial is not important.
The president is obligated to look at and expose corruption Any law making it illegal for him to do so, must be unconstitutional.
I’ve often said that Idiocracy was supposed to be five hundred years in the future but is actually happening right now.

Practical issues:
We need to demand Democrat Senators who have served under Obama in some role OR are running for President are disqualified - conflict of interest.
We have to criminally prosecute the leaking Democrats in the Deep State and reporters who joined in. Do that before the trial or else the undermining of the democratically elected president will continue.
Bring up to the press repeatedly that these people have tried to impeach nearly every recent Republican President, and this is just the latest.
A significant number of U.S. presidents have faced calls for impeachment, including five of the past six Republican presidents.

And if Romney had won, they’d be doing it to him.
Impeachment is Built on a Trap That Obama Created for Romney

Don’t fight impeachment. Fight every angle of their attack. Do not ever agree with any principle of it (that Trump did something wrong).
This is akin to liberals defining liberalism as love, so all other viewpoints can be banned as hate speech. Or liberal equated to smart, rational, educated, so social media throttles conservative content as low quality or fake news.
My guess is that just prior to the election, the Democrats will drop the entire impeachment fiasco while insisting that the Republicans obfuscated them . . . figuring that they have gotten all the mileage they need from the whole farce.
Not gonna happen. They'll be on the campaign trail as before, making occasional television appearances at the trial.
BINGO!!
An impeachment trial would leave the field wide open for Biden, however, being called before the Senate to testify, along with Hunter, would effectively kill his campaign, allowing Hillary! to be the 'savior' to step into the nomination on a 2nd or 3rd ballot.
Excellent! Did you send this to your Senator and Congressman?
If the Senate wanted to shut this fiasco down, they would announce now that Schiff, Joe Biden, Eric Whistleblower, the CIA IG who participated in changing the whistleblower application form, and Hunter Biden would be called as witnesses. I think that such an announcement would deflate the balloon.
Campaign in the four-plus days a week the Senate - and the trial - are not in session.
No, because mine are conservative.
I’m sorry but this is NOT going to go as we hoped-—the media is doing their bidding 24/7 on every single outlet along with colleges, public schools, Hollywood, Tech giants——the idiots in our country (under 50) are too stupid and will simply believe what the minions say. Every single narrative the media has aired about Russia, Ukraine and other items have been disproved-—Yet dumb citizens are [still] pushing the narrative.
If anything, it will help in the “red states” win down tickets as well as the President, but states like NJ, NY, CA, MA and so forth, their blue gains will increase. Unless there’s a great awakening....
EXACTLY! Many reasons to stay under the covers and don’t breathe!!
No spines, too many skeletons, cushy seats...why change that...getting a little green on the side would be easy, too. On the Eppy list???
