...when there were more important things to hold hearings about.
This was rather rich coming from the veterans of the Benghazi and Hillary email hearings.
In the end, the Democrats may impeach Trump, but before they do, they are going to dig out all the information and facts that have been ignored, or swept under the rug by the Republicans, in the last two years.
Get out your earplugs, because liars are gonna lie and Republicans are gonna howl and the Democrats are going to investigate.

(14,492 posts)It is sooooo refreshing to see more on my news pages lately than just the Shitgibbon's mug every day. Our hearings and Congress members are finally getting an international voice in the news, and somewhat more attention in the U.S.
I'm seeing Republican lies and disinformation being called out more, along with substantive reporting on the hearings. There's still far too much Trumpshit exposure in the news, but it's getting better.

(50,276 posts)entire 2020 election season on impeachment and their ensuing victimhood. Without it, they're left to defend the indefensible. I want him gone as much as anyone, but I also want him in an orange jumpsuit. If he's impeached, Mike "I'm in Love With Don" Pence will pardon all federal charges. If we beat him in the election, there's no pardon of anything. Go to jail, go directly to jail.

(2,065 posts)If Trump were to be defeated in the 2020 election, he would not not hand power over peacefully. I suppose that he would get his MAGAts and right wing goons to act as his paramilitary forces and start a new civil war. At least the first American civil war had neatly drawn battle lines, geographically speaking, but this one wouldn't. So, the Democrats need to work mighty quick with their investigations, and then remove Trump, either via impeachment or the 25th Amendment, before the 2020 election.

(14,565 posts)IF this country was what it should be, if there was any POTUS that should be impeached, it is this POS.
But, this country is not what it should be, 1/3 of us have been hopelessly tweaked up by conservative media to be completely detached from reality and reasoned thought, and another 1/3 have succumbed to the sweet bliss of both siderism.
As you accurately noted, they live, they BREATH off of victimhood, and actual impeachment hearings will juice them up to a whole nother level of crazy.
The other thing people don't get is the turn around. Because they ran the clock out his first two years, this year is the window to do it. If any kind of impeachment proceedings that spill over to next year will leave the doing what they do - making things up as they go along, and they will scream bloody murder that you just can't impeach a POTUS in a reelection year, and again, the middle 1/3 will go along with them to some extent on that.
Keep doing the hearings and vet out the ENDLESS array of corruption and unethical actions by him and his admin, and get this country focused on voting this scumbag out November of 2020, then deal with the lunacy that will occur between then and whatever has to happen to actually get him out of the white house.

WHAT A FUCKING BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES !!!!!
