The people trump fears the most is us. The 54% who do not buy into his lies. He does not fear

having the label "impeached" attached to his legacy. He fears reality.

There is nothing we gain personally by impeaching him. We will not get the satisfaction of harming him or handing him the justice he deserves by kicking him out of office.

The important thing for us to do, our duty, is not to impeach trump but is to maintain our democracy and the rule of law. Our legacy in doing that is what will make history. We owe it to those who come after us. This is probably the biggest turning point in the country's history beside the revolution and the civil war. The revolution brought us the republic and the civil war preserved the union but we have the duty to preserve democracy and the rule of law.

To do that we need to vote so that we vote out of office those who are destroying democracy and the rule of law. We should be in the streets demanding that each and every one of us recognizes the duty we have ahead of us.

Impeaching trump pales beside the duty we have to preserve democracy and the rule of law. Impeachment will not do that, cannot do that.

We have less that 1 year and 1/2 to get that idea front and center of the public's attention. The majority know how eveil trump is and the rest don't care. Spending months trying to make that point is a waste of time.


If we fail to take over all of Congress and the White house impeachment will not have meant a damned thing. As the civil rights saying goes, keep your eye on the prize.

Death by a thousand cuts is the way to take him down.

I already hear his name uttered among school children as a put down when someone is being rude or a jerk. The first time I heard it I thought I heard wrong, now the other day a kid at school told me another was putting him down by calling his fat Donnie’s name. Inward I was smiling but I told the student “you shouldn’t call someone names”.

growing by the day. My guess is,the Polling Questions are tweaked too effect this low number. Never forget,a dropped call or hangup counts as positive in polling,same for no answer or blocked calls.
