(22,976 posts)Sorry, but theres more than enough material to impeach right now. Please forgive my trepidation, but things are hitting the fan with such rapidity that its hard to stay in front of it all. But when democracy gives way to blatant, in-your-face lawlessness and gets connected with Putin, as is happening right now, this folk will NOT calm down.
Your entire argument, albeit well-intentioned, rests on the shaky probability that the 2016 election will be free and fair. I do NOT trust the Trumpists at all on this matter. Russia is busy screwing with other democracies Australia just joined the group.
At least with impeachment, you get the Trump bullshit ON THE RECORD. Before this, it was wait for Muller. We waited, and it got muscled away from Mueller complicit Republicans and AG Barr are sitting on the documents, and theyre no different than gangsters. Its their side at all costs.
On edit, this:
