Democrats do not want to impeach again, but....

...they should not let Donald Trump know that. They should keep that over his head and try to keep the country safe and secure, as possible, until election day.

He should not be allowed to think that he has a free ticket to do whatever he wants. Although, in reality, he probably does.

The message that should be sent to Trump and the Republicans is that "we are watching" and "we will impeach again" if he craps on the Constitution again.

It is now about public perception. Democrats should be perceived as protectors of our Constitution.

Everytime a new piece of evidence comes up on Ukraine, it needs to have a tv ad. laying it out and how the GOP Senate threw the trial.

McConnell and Graham named specifically each time.

...Any decision that comes thru the courts, I.e. Don McGahn, should be pursued to its end.

There is plenty of evidence waiting to be exposed, in my opinion.

In particular I anticipate continued Russian support as well as even more blatant voter suppression.

How do you know they don't want to impeach again? How do you know that this isn't part of a calculated long game that has been planned for?

Instead of pretending to impeach a second time, let's impeach for real, alleging his real crimes. If Repubs want Trump as a dictator, let's make them work for it.

Impeaching a second time would be way easier than fighting a bloody war over it. Are WE going to give up so easily?

John Bolton should be #1. If we're going to have to fight it out in the Trump Courts, let's start.

But they will not impeach again, even with Bolton's testimony...

Unless a few Republicans come to their senses, in my opinion.

Remember when the pundits were wondering how much of it to include in the Impeachment? Well, they are free to return to previous things that are unresolved. Nobody can give him a free pass for everything. Let the Republican Senate keep saying that they are all frauds and let the American People see that the Republicans were only spewing bullshit for years.

Whether you like the KC Chiefs or not, they just showed you that you can only lose by giving up.
