It's Interesting To Note That This Impeachment Issue....

has Trump sitting back and laughing. Think about it - the question as to whether or not Trump should be impeached is dividing the Dem Party. Trump doesn't even have to do anything (just be his criminal self) and he's got the Dem Party tied up in knots and going at each other. Ironic - isn't it?

but that's not the way this is playing out. There are those Dems - For Impeachment. And there are those Dems - Not For Impeachment.

At least that's what the cable news shows are telling us.

Pelosi is way ahead of everybody else. She knows this is a fight Trump wants and she isn't going to give it to him.

Have rigorous debates over issues?
I disagree with the Speaker but I respect the other side.

by the Mueller report, or some other legal investigation which shows that it's the next step for responsible government to take.

Dems shouldn't wait for Meuller's report, which may be suppressed in any case.

The majority of Americans didn't favor Nixon's impeachment until just a few weeks before he resigned, after two years of relentless investigations.

We must be relentless.
