Two hours ago, drudge headline in big red letters was that Pelosi hints

at Impeachment...linking to an Axios story. Nothing in the "story" substantiated that.
https://www.axios.com/nancy-pelosi-trump-ukraine-whistleblower-complaint-2ae15fd7-83c1-47a4-ab0c-87e28e9ff5ff.html

But it's curious to me. I have glanced there every day...drudge...a news consolidator, for years to see what the right is thinking. I know, giving him $clicks.

Is it, given the huge trump pile of crimes and injustices to the human race, a focus on the right to think trump would gain from an Impeachment?

Or...are there Republicans who just may be appalled and hate the MF, and are counting on us? Because it's not politically expedient for them to do it and none of them want to be shredded by trump?

In the era of social media, he's mostly irrelevant. Has been for years.

Even the right mocks and/or ignores him now, especially the Trump diehards.

RW sources. We need to know their game, their arguments, disinformation they spread to defeat
them.

Know what he's talking about. He's pulling stories from the news together not writing opinion on his site. And if you watch trends and are studying the opposition, you WILL see subtle changes on what is highlighted.
