Ring of Fire: The Time to Impeach is Now.

From the video:

- The time is now; more and more americans say we have to impeach Trump.

- Congress can do the people's work while pursuing impeachment investigations.

- Pelosi has one shot at this; we must show Trump and company that no one is above the law.

- Dems will suffer because Trump will be emboldened if he is not impeached.



Here’s another video stating the necessity of impeachment. It’s an excellent interview with Allan Lichtman.

"Dems will suffer because Trump will be emboldened if he is not impeached."

He will also be emboldened if he's impeached and not convicted in the senate.

In the impeachment scenario we're screwed either way. The only hope is the 2020 election...

Don't think GOP Senate will remove Trump after impeachment succeeds in House.

We need to go through the process of investigating and reporting the transgressions of Trump up until the elections.

Run out the clock. Don't let it get to the Senate.

Trump is currently in a massive power grab. He is making Nadler and Pelosi look very weak.

the American experiment is drawing to a close, thanks to the Republican Party protecting and enabling Trump. Here's an earlier DU thread:
