In reply to the discussion: I'm seeing an interesting but unfortunate phenomenon repeat itself here re: impeachment [View all]gab13by13
(32,435 posts)I am not seeing what Starfishsaver is seeing. It was common sense to wait to send the impeachment to the Senate and there were few people who wanted it rushed over. This is the second post pushing this narrative, why, what's the point if a few people did want to send it over sooner?
The 1st impeachment was much more complicated and we have yet to see the entire Mueller report. Bill Barr put the kibosh to the 1st impeachment.
The 2nd impeachment is right out there in the open for people to easily understand, not complicated at all and the managers did a fantastic job and that is what we should be talking about. We should be talking about how iron clad the case for conviction is. We should be talking about how Senators have a choice to vote for democracy or to vote for authoritarianism or for Nihilism or whatever Trumpism is called.
I say great job House Democrats and great job House managers in showing beyond the shadow of a doubt how guilty Trump is of high crimes and misdemeanors. Job well done. GQP Senators who vote to acquit should be shamed and we should push to shame the people and corporations who are funding them.
