After investigation. Get the dirt out there. Then we shall see about impeachment. The Orange One will delay and obfuscate for months. Could play in our favor.

The GOP is bluffing....big time.

What’s next?
Putin wants impeachment?
MBS wants impeachment?
Netanyahu wants impeachment?
Repukes want impeachment?
We are adrift in a sea of bad ideas.

Trump has been wildly accusing Democrats of being the devil for two years. The notion that impeachment helps him is absolutely insane. It is insane! Trump is going to say those things anyway!

I literally cannot believe it when I read that Democrats should keep their powder dry and not impeach.

If we don't impeach he's going to lie and say we're impeaching him anyway!

Contribute to Weld's campaign. He'll never defeat trump for the nomination. He can definitely damage trump and the republicans. The longer he's active, the more damage he can do.

a consideration. I had been thinking that impeaching him would cause the same reaction as the Clinton impeachment and he'd end up winning "bigly." Then I heard someone - forget who - on MSNBC point out that the reason Democrats had such an epic victory in the midterms was because voters want Trump to be held accountable for the nightmare we find ourselves in. Now I've changed my mind completely and think if we don't impeach we'll end up with disgusted voters who stay home and then Trump wins again.
