That is the sound of our credibility and self-respect, the life blood of any viable political party, leaking away each day we stop at talking the talk when sentient Americans of all political stripes are pleading with us to walk the walk.
Those who continue to oppose the commencement of an impeachment inquiry cannot square that opposition with their own public statements that, yes, Trump has obstructed justice and continues to do so and yes, Trump has violated numerous laws and yes, Trump has engaged in numerous impeachable acts, but, no, we will not impeach him.
To state it as simply as I can, we ALL know what the law, the Constitution and common decency require that we do. But, we're not doing it.

(63,927 posts)did what she has to do. Thank goddess we have her leading the way. She's not afraid of Trump but he is scared shitless by her. He'll be a sniveling piece of shit by the time she gets through with him.

I remember when he was in a Detroit church and doing or saying something obnoxious (isn't he always?) and the African American woman preacher gave him a look or said something to him and he put his tail between his legs and acted like a beaten puppy. That's the only way to deal with him or men like him.

(63,221 posts)I have never felt so hopeless. Not just because of us, but because of them and how dirty they play. We just can't seem to overcome their filthy tricks and corruption.

(14,608 posts)My guy, unfortunately, is a freedom caucus guy. But my state has some really good Dems and I'll be calling each one of those.
I'll call my US Senators, also, just for kicks.
Let's put some more pressure on them.

(15,572 posts)Got the standard blah, blah, no evidence, etc. email back to which I responded vehemently that there was plenty of evidence. I like your idea of contacting all my state's reps, so I'll start on that tomorrow. One of them is Amash and I will thank him even if he is an R.
