#1 The 58 idiots that voted for impeachment are your lawmakers that know nothing about the law.

Think about that as "representation".

#3 As long as the market is booming it will be very difficult to garner support for an impeachment. Like the rest of us, sleazy politicians have to put there money somewhere. Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs is not really a sound business decision.

#4 Democratic Texans largely joined their Republican colleagues in supporting the motion to table

In the resurgence of the post Civil War period, the party of the Klan refused to provide the Army funding for nearly a year, till the Apaches hit Texas again, and suddenly them Texas Donks needed to protect their phoney baloney jobs. The Army got funding. Going after Trump would dump the market and hammer businesses that are enjoying a prosperity they haven't seen in over 8 years. Its' the economy stupid.

#6 Green is grandstanding and engaging in political harassment. Unless the Dems take control of the House or they could get enough Rinos to go along with them, this had zero chance of going anywhere.

Green has had a sexual accusation by a staffer (Lucinda Daniels) in his background. Could be others?

#7 This is not the end. It is not the beginning of the end. It is perhaps the end of the beginning.

#8 It's the Fourth Turning, it is a painful transition for good or ill but will be resolved. We have to go through this, and other countries are in the same boat.
