1. Good. National market, with non-political cred.

7. The Trump MAGAts will be calling it libtard, fake news now

I'm glad they're taking a stand. Of course, this means they're going to lose some subscribers. The very few Trump supporters who actually read. So, it won't be a lot subscriptions.

2. This is a significant decision for a popular

publication that reaches millions of people. It's a huge plus in the effort to change public opinion about impeaching Trump. The Senate Republicans are too cowed too budge until the public is yelling for Trump's head.

3. This is HUGE. Imagine All the People that Will See This in Their Free Copy of the Paper

4. Is there a colorful pie chart

to help me understand what they're saying?

I kid, USAT, I kid

5. I think this is really a reference to their 9/29/16 editorial saying Trump was unfit.

This year, the choice isn’t between two capable major party nominees who happen to have significant ideological differences. This year, one of the candidates — Republican nominee Donald Trump — is, by unanimous consensus of the Editorial Board, unfit for the presidency.

From the day he declared his candidacy 15 months ago through this week’s first presidential debate, Trump has demonstrated repeatedly that he lacks the temperament, knowledge, steadiness and honesty that America needs from its presidents.

6. Yes, stuff gets passed around out of context and believed...

...and it happens on our side just as it happens on the other.

8. Appears the editors still have that view....

Story Highlights

* A U.S. president with proper respect for the powers of his office would not seek to outsource opposition research to a foreign government.

* A president with a proper understanding of the rule of law would not treat the nation’s attorney general as just another fixer.

* Donald Trump is not such a president.

9. That's crazy. Every editorial I've ever seen in their papers is RW lunacy.

This shit must be getting real to them as well.

After tonight, I see a lot of papers burning up their editorial pages and jumping on the bandwagon.

tRump is unfit!

11. So in other words, the person they've berated for years, Nancy Pelosi, WAS RIGHT

to call for an impeachment inquiry at this time.

It's okay to say it.

We already know the answer.

Yes, she was right.
