Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsMadame Speaker---Have you heard the full Stephanopoulos interview of Trump?
Have you read a transcript of it?
Is it not clear that when this monster says "I can do whatever I want", he means just that?
Are those who have expressed concern that he may not surrender power even IF defeated in 2020 still in the "alarmist" category?
Do you not believe that your simultaneous acknowledgement of Trump's CRIMES while you persist in your refusal to begin an impeachment investigation will indelibly stain your reputation? Do you care?
That interview makes MANY of us nauseous. We are unable to reconcile your conduct with what Trump admits---defiantly---and you concede he is doing.
The ball is still where it has been for months: in your court.

(31,869 posts)But I think Pelosi is doing this correctly.
Every single Democratic Member of the House must vote to impeach. I'm willing to let her to continue to count votes.
The thing is - MF45 continues to engage in activity that makes the rope longer and longer. This makes the Mueller Report just another piece of evidence in the arsenal.
The more rope the better - just make the tree it's tied to really really really high. This way when the MF45 hangs itself its cloves don't touch the ground.

(8,200 posts)As more and more evidence is allowed to play out and Trump keeps digging the hole deeper the better that it will serve the Democratic Party. Each day more Republicans are being forced to reveal that they have little more than contempt for the rules of law and most importantly the Constitution. It will have little effect on the rank and file Republicans, but will effect the most important block of voters: The Independents. It is the best hope for the destruction or massive overhaul of the Republican Party. I am hoping for the former since far too many Republicans are so brain washed that they are beyond saving. This plain fact was demonstrated during the last election in which even staunch bible beaters refused to accept that he was a degenerate being without a shred of remorse. He a rare being without a conscience. He is totally amoral and is in the same category as the most vicious tyrants. As Lincoln concluded if you wish to test a man's character, give him power. Trump is the perfect Republican candidate and embraces everyone of their greed and hatred driven objectives.

(31,869 posts)Democratic Reps. I'm not asking for a year - I'm asking for weeks.
One thing that needs to happen is shutting down Democratic pundits that cannot respond accurately to Republican pundits. Watching MSNBC Saturday morning and the gentleman responding to Adriana Cohen couldn't put it where the goats can get it.
Ms. Cohen insisted HRC paid for the Steele Report/Triggered it.
It was a Conserve Think Tank working for Never Trump GOP.
