re: #160 Targetpractice

The time for that came and went, now we’re just digging in every dumpster and under every barrel in the hope we find something either incriminating or at least so damning that Trump is voted out next year. Impeachment is effectively gone as a tactic, not because we’ve nothing worth investigating him over, but because the message has become so garbled by the leadership’s worry over looking “bad” that what might have been a process to hold Trump accountable for his actions…has turned into a convoluted argument over jurisdiction, Constitutional authority, and judicial precedents. It’s time to face facts: Impeachment is not going to happen and Trump won on that. The only thing we can do now is hope that the voters hate him so much come next November that he doesn’t squeak through to a second term.

I don’t know when there was a time for impeachment, given the current Republican stranglehold on the Senate. The Democrats have only been in since January. They could not start impeachment hearings before the release of the Mueller report without generating a huge backlash. The Democrats have no control over any Cabinet appointments or judicial appointments. The press has continued much of its bothsideism and the MSM has refused to take a principled and consistent stand against Trump, demanding impeachment. This isn’t the 1970’s when Democrats controlled both Houses and there was no propaganda network like Fox. I have faith that Nancy knows what she is doing.
