That’s precisely what she should say. Impeachment of an American president has happened twice before. It was likely coming with Nixon, so that would have been three. Yet since the Republicans impeached Clinton, there have been periodic calls to impeach every president since. Democrats should be reluctant to even…

In fairness having Dems scream bloody murder for impeachment isn’t necessarily helpful because it can be handwaved as partisan. At this point its pretty obvious where this is all headed, holding fire as the general GOP gets more and more antsy isn’t an unheard of strategy (see the whites of their eyes and all that),…

Right—I interpreted it as, “when we do this, let’s make sure we REALLY nail the motherfucker.” (Pardon my french.)

Our country has spent at least a year marinating in constant messaging that corrodes due process and evidence based prosecution. First there was the investigation of HRC, promoted by the Trump campaign as a failure because she wasn’t prosecuted. Now he works to delegitimize all the infrastructure that conducts…

I’m guessing what she actually meant is hold off, there’s a lot more shoes to drop and we might be getting rid of Trump, Pence and Ryan in one swipe.

It’s ok, either am I.

This isn’t a game. Real people can get hurt can get hurt with a president like him at the helm. The sooner he’s out, the better.

President of Turkey and Turkey President! Low hanging fruit but that’s where I’m at.

The last try was definitely done by a staffer because a) there is no way he knows the name of Turkey’s president and b) there is no way Mr. ALL CAPS knows how to spell “Erdogan” with the curly thingy. (Guess I’m not much better.)

an impotent opponent who only hurts his allies....isn’t something you just toss aside will-nilly. Trump has truckloads of shit left to spread on the GOP. Let the rope keep playing out so they can all hang when it comes due in 2018...

No... Nancy Pelosi is saying we need evidence so we don’t fuck up the impeachment. It’s lawyer for “nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”

When the meeting ended, Mr. Trump told those present — including Mr. Pence and Attorney General Jeff Sessions — to leave the room except for Mr. Comey.

I hope that what she actually meant was the argument against killing Hitler after September of ‘39. He was so incompetent and over his head that he was an active detriment to the Nazi cause once the war started, and beyond any doubt shortened it through sheer stupidity.

tbf the framing here is coming from the washington times, who always require a bit of salt
this was also last night, before the comey memo came to light — she is right to say that trump’s intel-bragging to the russians was not an impeachable act / crime, but the comey memo is quite a different kettle.

What? This was obviously before tonite’s story broke, lol.

Every day I read new things and think “When the books are written, will this be the turning point, when ‘his’ party can longer save face and still support him? Is this the tape over the door catch?” I wish each revelation to be so, but as each passes I hold no optimism for the next.

It’s currently being reported that Trump tried to stop the FBI investigating Flynn and his ties to Russia while Comey was in charge.
