A weird thought--If we were to begin impeachment & the market crashes,
wouldn't the Dems catch the blame for the crash? Aren't the public dumb enough to fall for the line that that impeachment made all the investors nervous so they bailed out of the stock market?

2. They will blame the Dems anyway
The mere presence of Democrats in Congress, let alone having the majority, would be enough. In any case, Doing what is right and Just should not depend on hypothetical consequences.

3. I had a weird thought, too; if the market crashed, would the Dems
return from their summer 'recess'? :dilemma:

4. God forbid they call us names!
The last thing I'm worried about is getting blamed for sething by people who blame rape victims for wearing short skirts - or Iraqis for fighting off the rape of their country.

5. And As Though That Wouldn't Be Happening
In this impeachment fantasy, think about what your proposing and what those with money would be thinking. From their perspective you've trying to overthrow the government...you don't think this would give the markets jitters? So many corporations are in bed with this regime, if they saw their power being threatened here, they'd turn up the spigots on the money they've been stashing away off shore...less money in the American markets.

Be assured that if there's a political impeachment, the corporate media will gladly play up the meme of the Democrats attempting to overturn two elections and the talking heads on cable would bang that drum nightly and loudly. But since this is a fantasy, this question goes where all other hypotheticals do.

6. Of course.
But impeachment is never going to happen. Our leaders don't have the balls to do it and they've shown repeatedly that they don't. Sometimes I can't figure out who I'm madder at, Bush & Co., or Pelosi & Co.

8. FISA was passed to protect the corpocracy from the people.
A financial crash is coming. It's just a matter of time. When the American people realize they've been had and their SS and retirement funds are gone with the wind, there will be trouble in the streets. Prepare or perish.
