So the MSM scenerio seems to be that the Democrats need to persuade the Rethugs

and if they don't, it is their failure. Not the failure of the KGOP to accept the truth and do their constitutional duty.

It’s up to media to portray the Pukes as they are.

Even if it's only for the history books... we're still doing the right thing. And I'm proud of the fact that the Democratic Party stands up for Justice.

That's all that gives me hope. There are a lot of us, together, still believing in the rule of law.

I saw her name trending on Twitter. I guess she told the WSJ that the case for impeachment "has been clearly made", and she questions what the GOP will do about it. They lost Peggy Noonan. Even she won't defend Dear Leader. It will be very interesting to see who joins her. And, who doesn't.

This isn't a partisan impeachment by Democrats, it's a partisan impeachment defense by Republicans. Given the obvious crimes and corruption going on in plain sight, and the refusal to honor lawful subpoenas, it's clear that Republicans are the ones putting party over country here.

notice how the Rethugs can pass tax cuts and confirm unqualified judges without Dem votes and the MSM never asks why they can't convince Democrats.
It's only the Dems that need to be nonpartisan.
