Our only chance of getting to the bottom of the criminal coup taking place, which involves mcconnell, is IMPEACHMENT, sans an unredacted Mueller report to our cleared committees.

It's a pep rally, and if you don't join in the chants, you will cause the team to lose, which also that means you want them to just give up and you hate the school and you hate winning.

Get with the program!

Because when we do, McConnell's base will suddenly open their eyes and say, "We were SO wrong about him! For YEARS!! And we were so WRONG about that awful Donald Trump!! Democrats showed us the TRUTH!!!"

And then he is jailed, McConnell is jailed, and America has it's BALLS back again! BOOYAH!

Impeachment will solve all. There is no chance of any FAILURE if we just WANT IT badly enough!

republicans will just spin it as being politically-motivated which could backfire on Democrats in 2020. What would be the point?

apparently, and nothing short of impeachment - no matter the outcome - will satisfy them that Democrats are not just sitting doing nothing.

Lots of war and fight metaphors are being used to defend that entitlement.

The timeline for the uptick in donations from all of those people is so coordinated. Mitch McConnell is the anti Christ. And I’m an atheist.

Rusal would supply the new mill with as much as 200,000 metric tons of foreign-made aluminum each year, most of it from an aluminum smelter under construction in Siberia.

They'll be shipping the aluminum from Siberia to the US, from a smelter that hasn't even been built, yet!

How convenient for Mitch that this is happening right before he has to run for re-election, in a state where his numbers aren't that impressive?

America, too. The aluminum industry in Kentucky will be controlled by Russian mobsters.

A Russian company setting up shop in Kentucky is not good news for anyone in Kentucky or America. Once again, Trump and McConnell sell out the American people they're supposed to serve.

Trump lifts sanctions, Russian mobsters move in to "invest" the money they stole from the people of Russia in McConnell's Kentucky, as payback for lifting the sanctions.

It's not that hard.

Just remember, the American oligarchy (Koch bros, Waltons, Bill Gates (and his weekly meetings with Trump), Zuckerberg, Rockefeller and Tim Apple) are absolutely fine with the destruction of our democracy. They don't mind the corruption one tiny bit.
