The Impeachment of President Donald J Trump

[jimmy olsen]

God, I hate this.  I know Trump won't be removed, and will probably be reelected.  I still believe it was the right thing to do, but it feels like we're at Balaclava and Lord Raglan just gave us the fatal order.

Unless they're significantly more competent at electoral fraud then everything else they've tried, how?

The polls have been consistently in the 53-56% disapprove zone for almost three years now.

They lost 41 house seats. They've lost governor houses in blood red states like Kentucky and Louisiana. The statehouse in Va flipped.

[Habbaku]

Yes, how could that possibly happen?

Nobody ever went broke overestimating the stupidity of the American people... well, except Trump did it four times. /shrug

This impeachment will show the people on the right that Trump is a criminal and they won't vote for him again. It's a brilliant strategy.

[Razgovory]

The people on the Right aren't stupid.  They know exactly what kind of man he is.  He's bad man who does bad things.  That's why they elected him; they want him to bad things to people they don't like.

[Oexmelin]

Yes. There was a longish article on n+1 discussing this aspect of Trump - he's not a paragon of conservative virtue. He's a champion chosen to fight without quarters against existential enemies.

So Tina Turner/Mad Max, or Master/Blaster?

[The Brain]

Tina/Ike.

Maybe. The fundamentals are incredibly strong for the GOP - I mean Reagan in '84 strong. Which, if they win, is how they'll do it.

That it's competitive at all is an indication of Trump's issues.

Getting a pre-existing investigation into a foreign company back on track after Joe Biden derailed it is pretty benign stuff (prompting it from nothing would be different). It's funny to see people supporting impeachment on these grounds claim to care about rule of law, as if anyone here would withhold a vote for or support the impeachment of Biden for his own prior intervention into the same matter.

[Razgovory]

And it's done.

[Admiral Yi]

Tulsi Gabbard voted present.

[HVC]

I'm assuming the senate vote isn't a anonymous thing?
