The only sure way to educate the unaware and Fox bots is through Impeachment hearings - live on TV.

The MSM will be pretty much forced to cover those while right now those committee hearings are like a meh for most folks.

This shit argument about further angering his base being a problem is ridiculous. Now matter how angry they get, (and I hope they lose sleep and have a cardiac event over it) they still get only ONE VOTE!

I thought somebody was supposed to be good at counting.
