Which isn't hard so close to the shortest day of the year. A vote tomorrow is possible.

they felt that once the vote is taken, withhold it in the House and not advance it to the Senate for certain acquittal, but rather hold the process in the House to further investigate and again reveal to the public in the coming months the criminal acts this president has conducted. Reveal on a broad scale his involvement with Italian and Russian organized crime. Hit him up on the emoluments clause and paying off Stormy Daniels. Keep screaming about what a con man he really is, having bilked charities for his own gain. Turn up the heat.

I apologize to those whose credentials and knowledge is far greater than mine, but to me it makes sense. I believe we narrowed the focus of the articles of impeachment too much, and if we’re going to remove this wart from the White House, it will take a landslide to overcome the vote rigging that is sure to happen under the guidance of an American political party. I can’t t believe that I’m saying this in the country that is my home. The land of the free, home of the brave.

Democrats need a nationwide “get out the vote” campaign, a rock solid candidate to replace what’s his name, and wide media coverage of his atrocities on a daily basis.
