And just wait till that 20 something pedo pop singer Seb Sebastien,
ask his tween fanbase once again to take selfies of themselves and send
it to him, once again.

(578 posts)in my lifetime I have seen reality TV along with social media desensitize people to controversy. Over the last 20 years are so I think people have just gotten to use to controversy that nothing is seen as too over the top anymore which is unfortunate. If Trump pulled this shit 20 plus years ago I think a super majority of the country would be outraged.

(36,301 posts)I've heard no reports about mass protests going on around the country by people demanding that the full report be released nor have I heard of Congress critters offices being swamped by faxes, e-mails and calls from such people.

(90,339 posts)... protest with Clinton impeachment and Red Don will never be as popular as Clinton was with republicans so those two situations don't at all apply.
The positions against impeachment aren't sound looking at the facts ... the upside of impeachment politically are numurous

(36,301 posts)Rhetoric ought to match actions taken. So far, we see little evidence of people taking actions to promote the full release of the Mueller report. Hell, people aren't even bothering to call, fax, or e-mail their representative of senator about it. I've seen no reports, despite searching for them, about a major increase in calls to Congress.

(90,339 posts)... now or even after his non removal.
The positions against impeachment are not sound ... I've been through these before and facts have to matter.

(20,577 posts)they consider themselves political because someone told them what to believe. It could be a spouse, religious leader, and FAUX. That is why their opinions make no sense and they don't know why they have them.

(36,301 posts)In 2016, a little over half of eligible voters voted. And it's possible that a fair amount of those who did vote have a "Que Será Será" attitude towards politics.
