.....but do you really believe for a moment that Rump & the Republicans will be so kind as to simply let the chips fall upon ol' Turtle Face to take care of the impeachment problem solely upon himself? all with very few repercussions to the Democrats? All of these guys have essentially become blood brothers - thick and thin - and they're in it so deep that there's no turning back for any of them. Fact is, even though this may initially fall into McConnell's lap, I'm quite sure that the right will do their very best to make their problem our problem. Just when most of us think that we've seen the worst of it, I'm afraid to say that the party has only just begun. Idealistically speaking, I "want" the very same things you want, but wanting to achieve a goal vs the realistic means of obtaining that goal can be two different things.

BTW, just a few hours ago Pelosi announced that the Dems should use caution toward the notion of impeaching Rump. As it appears now, impeachment proceedings won't likely begin anytime soon.

And, you're welcome for the interesting discussion. Thank you, too!
