Seems the rush to impeach and not convict is hypnotic...you must impeach, you must impeach. Yep, there aren't the 67 votes and an impeachment without a conviction accomplishes ZERO...less than Zero. Impeachment didn't stop Bill Clinton from launching the air war in Kosovo and an impeachment without a conviction will not stop boooshie and his war for profit...if anything, it may accelerate it as he will feel "bulletproof". And that doesn't even mention the corporate media and the games they'll play to divide and polazrize...framing Democrats as first attempting to "overthrow an election" and then, when the votes to convict aren't there...how inept and incompetent they are.
I'll keep saying it...I'm for JUSTICE...and not just picking two figureheads...I want ALL who have committed crimes to be held accountable in criminal proceedings...not some political reality show run by a bunch of partisan hacks who put party ahead of country.
If there were the 17 votes on the GOOP sides...17 Repugnicans with a sense of national interest over party, I'd be rooting for boooshie's head as loud as anyone, but that's not gonna happen. And there's nothing, short of removing these Repugnicans, that would change a thing.
I'd rather get the real goods...find the real criminality, not some political showtrial. Now if you're just satisfied with slapping boooshie's hand and sending him home without dinner, then that's what impeachment will get you...nothing more. Not without 17 Repugnicans...period.
In the meantime, dozens of the real crooks in this regime will slip away due to "impeachment fatigue"...diverting attention and resources from the ongoing investigations that are just starting to get to the real criminal activities and enterprises of this regime.
It's not that some of us don't want to be rid of this regime yeseterday...it's just if you're going to shoot the king, you shoot to kill. Anything less will be viewed as a major loss and nothing will be accomplished.
