If the word "Obstruction" means anything, Then we must enforce/use the word "Impeach." Now. [View all]

Ok, we have over 500 prosecutors saying loudly that Trump was/is obstructing justice after they read the Mueller report.

So the word "obstruction" fits what Trump was/is doing perfectly.

Now, before you lecture me that impeachment is fruitless because the Senate will not consider impeachment, then please specify/explain to me what law/or-anything-else the House does in the next two years that will pass the Senate?

For just one example I've heard about "coming together (with the GOP) to fix Healthcare". Are they really serious? That is more unlikely at this point than impeachment!

Anything else I might be missing? Please educate me because I can't really think of anything mcturtle or anyone else in the GOP, including Mueller or Barr, will say or do if not under the threat of impeachment.

And now, here is what I expect to hear at the next Trump/GOP rally, "SIX more years!"
