A Hypothetical Question

If the Trump/ McConnell/ Ryan shit show keeps pushing for things the American public doesrn't want and the Democrats retake Congress in 2018, would the Democratic party take impeachment "off the table" again and "move on" yet again?

I want televised Watergate, Iran/Contra style hearings to finally expose the treason of the Republican Party. We alway let them off the hook.

So do we all. Unfortunately, the media was less, umm... concentrated back then. I doubt we'll see the like for a long long time.

and vengeance doesn't sound so good. Trying an entire party for what's been happening is an interesting dream, but the rality is that we have to move on.

We've had 6 years of show trials, "investigations" and votes to nowhere. It's time to be adults again and stop wasting time.

I doubt we will ever have a truly free and honest election again.
