Trying to herd his Republican cats into the No Witness Corral.

that amoral pig has his grubby little hands into more than what they impeached him for...

was horrified about the possibility she would agree with an acquittal and we were equally relieved that it was false.

The alternative was to let him run wild. He had to be checked.

Get thee to the greatest page so we can all see the answers

NO !

We owe them a big thanks

As noted by Schiff and others, right matters!

She knows her politics, she can count votes with the best of them, and she has a shrewd understanding of what the American public really is about.

I don't think she's made a lot of mistakes in the last 12 months. Hard to believe it's only been 12 months since Dems took the House. Hopefully it's only 11 months until they take the Senate and depose the mango who would be king.

History will vindicate them for doing so.

but I wonder if his cult will regret it. They better swallow hard.

I don't know if the damage shitforbrains has done will be undone by the impeachment process or by whatever follows.

It has to happen, though.

Orange anus on a gold toilet.

seriously

We can still turn this to our advantage, conceivably, but we haven't actually gained anything by it yet.

Don't surrender.

1) You would have Trump crowing that Dems didn't have anything to impeach him over because he's innocent

2) The Democratic base would be dispirited because Dems were too scared to move forward with impeachment

We won't know until then whether it was a good idea or not.

If we lose on 11/4/20, then it was already lost and impeachment will have nothing to do with the loss. That is, it was already baked in and we actually lost it in 2016.

would anyone regret it?

It was the required constitutional course of action.

Keep investigating and attempting to safeguard the separation of powers and rule of law, regardless of what the Senate does.

and not acting at all would mean the constitution is null and void, something the current crop of Robber Barons would love.

They are already trying to force a new constitutional convention and I sincerely doubt we the people would do well under any of their "reforms."

That the most corrupt bunch of politicians the world has ever seen would vote to retain the disaster in office was a foregone conclusion. We have to hope that enough people wake up to who and what they are in 2020 to start the process of getting rid of the lawless and overturning their bullshit.

(Yes, I'm well aware of court intrigues and corruption in the past. We have a gang that wants to recreate them in the present. That's a lot worse, IMO)

Even on DU, the majority here eventually embraced the obvious need to stand up for the rule of law.

...or waiting to send them.

This is a far stronger impeachment charge than what we would have otherwise put forward. Nancy Pelosi's political acumen has no parallel.

For me a feeling of relief that our side has the courage to do the right thing. They simply have to keep lying, bully, and provide distractions. The home of the brave is with us. FWIW

Republican corruption is on display.
