Um

i find just those two articles of impeachment underwhelming

 

i don’t know why

 

i guess I always figured because removal wasn’t figured to not even be possible, they’d throw as much at him to just make the R votes look as bad as possible. 

 

Because there probably should be 3 times as many as that, on merit.

 

And also because these articles wont sway the public much.  Obstruction of Congress feels like Congress' problem. Like, I cant see  the American people getting too worked up over that.

I’d really love the term IMPOTUS to become a thing  it works on so many levels: impotent, impostor, etc. 

I think it's pretty clever, but clever is lost on Trumpers.   

 

The one that really gets them is Cheeto.  It's a live by the sword die by the sword thing.  Their swords are childish put downs and a masterful parry with a fencing sword is always crushed by a swing of a two handed long sword, at least in their eyes.

Yeah.... so my thought was that the plan was to drop the hammer. Everything. If people don't change their minds, fine but at least you tried. If the senate doesn't convict, fine at least you tried.

 

This feels like they half-assed it and have created a situation where the house will vote to impeach, the senate will not vote to convict, and too many people will be allowed to shrug the whole thing off because ultimately the charges were weak.

 

Maybe i'm reading it all wrong. Feels like a complete waste at this point. I expected a laundry list of things...

Just have them imagine Hillary refusing to testify about Benghazi because of Executive Privilege.

I agree with you.  I could see doing just these two articles and doing like 500 "charges" of each.  But based solely off what they submitted, I don't know that I would even vote to remove (assuming the charges were blindly against "person A" and I didn't know all the other **** about him).

Not necessarily saying I agree with her completely, but Jennifer Rubin from WaPo lays out an interesting case of "Less is more" for this impeachment:

This all feels like a nothingburger at this point.

We're all beaten down by the endless stream of corruption. He won't be removed, but this has to be done to establish a historic record that someone tried to stop it. I believe truly damning things are going to come out about Trump in the near future (maybe not before the election) that are going to make his sychophants look really bad.

again Trump is hollering "witch hunt"

I almost wish it were.
At the end of a witch hunt, they burned the offender.

 

Imagine the grease fire if they lit that orange pig up.

Like to do the same to the little suck-ups that support him too. No reason to keep them here in the US any longer...It's a way to keep the energy bills lower this year.

Felt this way from the start: the left has no ability to sell impeachment to the country.

 

Not hard to see what the GOP is selling.

I find this statement truly sad. There should be no need for the left to sell anything. There's no snake oil. No bull whatsoever unlike Whitewater or Benghazi. What Trump did was a clear wrong that exactly falls under what the Founding Fathers listed as an impeachable offense. 

 

If the Republicans don't act that's not on the left. It's a complete failure on the Right. Unfortunately, I expect to see the Right exhibit a complete moral failure.

Whats left to be done if a good chunk of the country is happy being idiots?

 

This case isnt about selling impeachment. There is nothing to sell. The facts are clear. Willful ignorance to maintain subservience to 45 for whatever reason is the only reason this decision wont be unanimous.

 

We're constantly told stories of Murica's resolve, well its being tested from within and its about to crash spectacularly.

Problem is you're assuming that chunk is solely Republicans. 

 

Americans are dumb across party lines.

 

Spell it out for them.

That just sounds like shoulda/woulda/coulda to me. 

 

Reality is that It is necessary regardless of shoulds or morals or right vs wrong. 

 

It was needed during the 2016 elections, the Kavanaugh hearing, the Mueller report, and now the impeachment hearings. Its been needed for the last 40 years. 

 

Democrats have a severe marketing problem.
