The official "let's impeach Trump" thread

Absolutely. I believe, and I suppose it’s more a “hope” at this stage, that Monday night was a turning point for this country. It’s true that some on Fox are saying the demonstrators are trying to “overthrow the government”(Laura Ingraham), but I believe many Americans, and hopefully lots of independents, will be put off, to say the very least, seeing peacefully demonstrating American citizens treated like they occupied a “battle space”, when they were exercising their first amendment rights in a space where many before them have done so. Last Monday night will be in the history books, is how I envision it. Something no freedom loving American should ever forget, and our top military brass are letting the public know how they feel about that event, Mattis among them.

And, right along, I have pointed out the very thing Mattis pointed out: that this is a president who has made no effort whatsoever to reach out to those Americans who did not vote for him in 2016. Zero effort to unify our nation. 100% effort to divide our country. How much clearer can it be that this man child, who will be remembered as one of the most reviled figures in our history, must go. Really, he should resign at this point.

Donald Trump believes he’s can only hold onto his base by constantly having an “enemy” to fight. It is why fighting people is really all he does. On Twitter, in press conferences, and in the militaristic stance that he so pathetically demonstrated Monday night. I think many of us know by now that the presidency, to Trump, is simply The Apprentice, Oval Office Edition. It’s nothing but his latest reality TV show. And to keep the daily ratings up there, he feels he must always be fighting. The media takes the bait, his fans love it.

Once we are rid of him, we should have some kind of national conversation that addresses the possibility, a possibility that came to actually be in Trump’s case, that we are electing celebrities from celebrity culture, rather than experienced and capable statesmen. And women. Celebrity culture, the culture that elevates the stars of reality TV shows to prominence in our public sphere, is probably not our best talent pool. Although that is surely not 100% true. But it was certainly true of Trump, who was unable to rise above being a reality TV president.

He only knows how to fight, and he only fights to keep his ratings, and his fan base. Combine that with all the negative traits and appeals to mankind’s darker urges that Trump brings to the table, and it’s all he brings, and the result has been a disaster for our nation.
 
Our founding fathers knew, and were concerned, that someone like Trump was a possibility. They knew the people, once entrusted with the vote, to determine their governing leaders, must be educated enough to recognize the “snakes” among our political class, the snakes that could fool the people into supporting them. Demagogues are always a possibility when people choose their leaders at the ballot box. We failed to recognize this in 2016. Not enough people recognized the demagogue that was Donald Trump. We should never be so complacent, so convinced of our system of governance, as to say “it can’t happen here”. Of course it can, given human nature, given ignorance of history, of course it can happen here. Lots of talk in very recent days about fascism in America. You know, the thing that “can’t happen here”. Well, let’s wake up in time, and throw this least among us out the door. Let’s get rid of this cancer in the White House....

Sure
I still don't understand why anyone would go vote in a primary when the outcome is 100% guaranteed pre vote.
That is weird to me.
I don't mind leaving the house to go vote and am not worried about covid. Still wouldn't waste my time going somewhere to vote on something that is already decided.

Sometimes there are other things on a primary ballot like local office primaries for school board, city council, state legislature and governor.

Ah, that's makes a lot of sense. Good thinking.

Are you satisfied that this issue has been thoroughly investigated and that there is nothing there?

No. To me the fact that he was appointed to the board of a major company in an industry and country in which he has demonstrated no special understanding or knowledge, but whose relationship with the United States was under the purview of Hunter's father, reeks of influence peddling. What was he selling, if not that?

Do you have Hunter Biden's resume and video of his interviews?

He doesn't need to demonstrate any of that to anyone's satisfaction but his employers. And you don't have access to the information you'd need to make your statement.

What did Sen Murkowski do that triggered Trump's reaction? Somehow I missed that.

this thread has her quotes. Which is funny, because you can hardly consider her words as harsh. but to trump, you’re against him unless you’re actively kissing up to him.
