Until we impeach, Trump's crimes are on _US_

The reason I want Pelosi and the House Democrats to impeach is that until we do that, McConnell is not responsible for Trump's crime spree.

As soon as we impeach, it is no longer on Democrats hands to hold Trump accountable. Right now, we are failing to hold Trump accountable, and if we don't do everything in our power, including impeachment, then we will (and should) be held responsible for Trump's crime spree. All he has to do is say "no one stopped me. no one even tried"

We NEED to get Trump and the responsibility for Trump off of our hands. We NEED to make Trump the Senate and McConnell's problem, NOT OURS.

Let's get this treasonous asshole off of our books and put him where he belongs, on the complicit Republicans, instead of being complicit in enabling him.

Please, please, call your representatives and urge impeachment yesterday, if not sooner.

"The Senate won't remove him" - why this is a pathetically weak argument

In the House, you investigate, you grill witnesses, you prepare a list of crimes. You shout to high heaven that this treasonous fuck needs to be removed. You make the case.

And then, you yell that the Senate needs to remove him. You make a stink. you repeat his crimes, over and over. You repeat the proof.

THEN, when/if the Senate doesn't remove him, you make those Senators EAT IT. You shove their treason and failure to protect us in their face.

"Gee, the opposition won't do the right thing, so I guess we'll never put them in the situation where they have to choose". What kind of weakness is that? FORCE them to choose, then dump all over them when they inevitably do the wrong thing!!

I can't believe we have to fight these fascists with non-action.
