She is doing exactly what Republicans do, party over country based on a philosophical certainty that only retaining a Democrat majority in the house can save the country. It's a fascinating dilemma. If she does what is morally right, and impeach Trump who surely and certainly needs to be impeached to end the cycle of massive damage he has already done to the country, the brain dead in this country might vote out their newly elected Democrat Representatives and elect Republican ones. So doing the right thing will have a very bad result. On the other hand, if she does the utilitarian thing and foregoes moral action today, she risks the both sides reality of both parties caring only for their own best interests. The moral long term realization that a return of Republican control of the house would be a cataclysmic disaster, which I think would probably turn out to be a true disaster, will be lost on the brain dead, who could then make it happen.
Thus we seem to be in a moral dilemma. The more the Democrats strive to show the brain dead what an evil Trump really is, the more heat they generate among those who already see this, folk like yourself. They want action now, action that in a longer view might be disastrous.
But nobody can see the future or predict what for certain would be the best way to go.
So we are left with the Democrats trying to educate the American people they have a monster as Pres. while the more they do that and don't act the more they look like moral cowards. Not a really comfortable place to be.
So, should they abandon investigating Trump and stop feeding the moral outrage of those who are awake to who Trump really is, and stick with beating him on policy in 2020, or should they fucking speed up the investigations by indicting everybody in sight and start charging them with contempt of congress and fining their asses. In a long life of presenting what I call reality, I have proven in every cell of my body that when the news is something we don't want to hear, it is not the truth that gets embraced but the messenger that gets shot.
But regardless of what the truth may be or what the best course of action should be, I know that nothing will change the fact that what actually happens will happen mechanically. Everything will happen exactly as it must based on the average conscious level of evolution of the players. My hope is that my puny effort here advances that microscopically.
I agree with you. I used to be think impeachment was a huge risk, and I still do due to how the Republicans and the American people just don't care and seem to think this is the new normal. I still think the ultimate slap in the face to Trump is defeat at the ballot box. But it should be done and should have been done long ago.
I'll repost my response in post #253 and add to it with the reality of the electorate :
Trump is like the asshole in your rental house that you can't kick out.
Doesn't pay rent, shits all over the furniture, but he has a lease, so you have to go through the gears of justice, as slow as they turn. All the while he's also busy selling your furniture, but it's shat-on so it's not selling as well as before it was fouled. He has some buddies that harass the neighbors, but the cops never come because Trump knows the chief of police.
Repoter : "That sofa you showed us today, it looked like it almost had, like,
shit on it"..
POTUS : I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
The next day:
Trump : "Of course I shit on the sofa, it was a wonderful shit and made the sofa more memorable."
Trumps Attorney : "Its not illegal to shit on a sofa, even if he didn't not do it there."
Later that same day:
Reporter 1 : "Next we'll be discussing the colour and texture of the shit on the sofa. How does it compare to previous Trump shits?"
Reporter 2 : "Tune in next, when we'll be having a panel discussion talking about exactly what this new sofa shit means. What is Trump trying to accomplish and what is the meaning behind these furniture shits?"
Me and You :"Why are we discussing shitting on furniture like it's a normal thing to do? it's time to impeach to stop this shitting"
Later that week:
Trump supporters are all shitting on their own furniture "Just to piss the Libtards off"
