Argument not to impeach . . . is a move to normalize this behavior. [View all]

What they are saying when they try to convey that impeachment is too drastic a step, is that 'business as usual' must continue to go on and that this behavior is not alarming enough to move on it, not worth the effort. Bombs should be going off, alarms should be ringing, flares should be sent up. We cannot stand for behavior like this. There is no other consideration. If we are to survive, they need to act.
Our whole national history is one based on standing up for principle. It probably wasn't prudent for a bunch of upstarts to wage war against the dominant world power of the time, but we did. Maybe it wasn't within decorum for us to fight each other over slavery, but we did. I would like to see an article about the newspapers of the time to see if they were worrying about what would happen in the next election if they fought over freeing the slaves. I bet it never occurred to them. They had a principle that they thought could not be stepped over, and the fought and DIED for that principle.
We have a mini dictator in chief, trying to take over our system and some apparently couldn't be bothered. People died for the principles we are founded on and there are people in congress who not only won't physically fight but they don't want to lose their job. Boo hoo.
It makes no sense, they seem to have no perspective there about who we are.
