It ain't over till it is over. It is obviously in the middle.

People complain, why didn't she do this or that. Why isn't the Democratic Party doing this or that. Etc. Etc. Etc. Please give it a chance to "evolve." Who knows what is going to be "exposed" or happen next? The only sure thing in my opinion is there is more to come on this show.

Educate your neighbors and your Representatives.

A nation (well, 60% of it) yelling, "Lock him up!" is pretty hard to ignore.

Here is a link to that post by elleng:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142370035

The second paragraph of the above post says:

"A potentially explosive complaint by a whistle-blower in the intelligence community said to involve President Trump was related to a series of actions that goes beyond any single discussion with a foreign leader, according to interviews on Thursday."

Just for clarification, eleng's post was taken from the New York Times.

"In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is."

In theory, we have checks and balances to prevent a unitary president. In practice, we don't.

6. Impeachment was not designed to be a legal question, decided by a judge.

Impeachment was designed, in the Constitution, to be a political question - to require the wide support to make needed impeachment - a workable reality.

7. The mere fact that lots of people are discussing "impeachment" pros and cons. means it's coming

Impeachment may not be next week, or next month, but it looks like it is coming at some point. Especially, if there is more proof that Trump did "more" illegal acts.

Lot more to come. How do I know? That is very simple, and it is 3 short sentences:

A. Trump is a crook
B. Trump has always been a crook
C. Trump will always be a crook.

and are tough enough to deal with it. And those who don't, won't, and aren't. I know Russia and Repubs are keeping the complainers all worked up, but I think it's about time to exile the noisiest "useful" sorts to Ignore. I prefer to be open to the entire community, but enough.

If only I could have kept my 2016 list in storage so it could just be reinstated. That'd cover most.
