Build the case that tRump is a criminal and a liar and a con man and a tax cheat and cares only about himself and will break any and every law to promote and protect himself and his interests. Do it with witnesses, on the teevee and keep doing it. Go into election season with months of THAT, dammit, instead of waffling around with political calculations and boohoo! The pukes won't convict him.

For once, can we please take the fight to them, instead of letting them set the terms of the debate? Please?

Is there a law saying that the GJ docs must be given to the House, for impeachment? nt Honeycombe8 May 2019 #25
