Ever notice how, when anything like last night's Impeachment motion occurs...
It take opponents 12-24 hours to organize their opposition.

Why, it's almost like they needed to to get marching orders and talking points.

Almost.

1. Not just marching orders and talking points
Those can be done in 5 minutes or less. What they need to do is assemble focus groups of total morons and test those talking points out.

6. If I were a cynic, I'd say that initial talking points are test marketed right here...
on DU.

But then, I've been told over and over that everyone here is just who they say they are, so that can't be right.

4. And that until this occurs, the item is simply ignored by the Corporate Media...
Why, it's almost like there's a news blackout until the talking points are organized.

Almost.

9. Who gives a Frack about them.
It's time we the people started our own news. I'm sending copies of the index of text and a link to the Democrats.com website that has the entire resolution, with a cover letter to ten people I know wouldn't know about it because they rely on MSM. If we all do it, maybe we can get the message out.

8. I just downloaded the text and am savoring every word.
Any true and patriotic American who doesn't sit up and take notice of the egregious trespasses this criminals in situ in the White House have committed are as traitorous as them and should be removed from office. Right now that includes all of Congress, and especially the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, with the exception of Congressman Wexler. This is really a case of if you aren't with us then you are against us. You either support the Constitution of the United States or you don't and if you have sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution and don't then you are complicit with the traitors in the White House.

10. The text of this Resolution should be studied in future

high school and college classes (if we ever get them back from the nut jobs that is). It should be sent to each and every Representative and Senator. There is nothing, as some on DU would claim, more important for Congress to address !

What could be more important than a regime of criminals, torturers, liars, theives, on and on running our country to the ground? What the hell is wrong with people anyway?

11. I am sending an abbreviated version of the text highlighting the points
that they can't ignore with a link to the whole resolution to my Repug Congressman, Kevin McCarthy, Nancy Pelosi and my two Senators, Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstien, not that they don't have access to the text but as a reminder to them to address this seriously, by snail mail. I hope everyone with a dog in this fight does the same.
