Pelosi's stance on impeachment

I have to wonder if the Speaker is just holding off until things get to the point where she knows she's going to have enough support to pull it off. Then she'll still come across as reasonable (or something to that effect) and can claim that it wasn't her idea.

Reminds me of a technique called the "takeaway close" used by salespeople.

a paycheck, Pres Library, all the perks for life ex presidents get, Free food, entertainment. Free golf, air travel, lives at the WH, security for his whole family as they plot against America. Trips to pay himself at mara lago every weekend. And more. That doesn't look like pain to me respectfully.
Walk a mile in average Joe Americas shoes. That's pain.
Get by your local homeless shelter. That's pain. And, as you know, I could go on.
Seems folks overlook the real pain in America, bc they aren't on tv defending themselves. imo.

the worst thing he can imagine is being laughed at and disrespected.

He has no empathy for those forms of pain like you and I would. He just rolls up the window of his limo and turns up the volume on the stereo.

Yeah, you can tell when he "hurts" by how he lashes out at others.

Where's the calls to outright resign? I hope you AREN't feeling the pain I described.
If that's all I had to do is act like my fee fees are hurt to get all those perks...color me sad and angry.
