    The movement of support for impeachment should be worrisome for Trump, especially in light of the fact that he made things worse for himself yesterday by "rolling over" and revealing that he "has no spine" when he left US Kurdish allies to die. This resulted in multiple GOP senators criticizing his decision.

    And now for a check in of the 538 impeachment tracker:

    I'm a republican and a big Trump supporter and I think the democrats should do everything they can to get the impeachment inquiry moving along. The have nothing, the country will see they have nothing and it will blow up in their faces. Once that happens the left can never scream IMPEACHMENT because rational people will take them less seriously than they do now. If anything, it should be the left holding off on impeachment knowing full well that if they blow their wad on this insanity now they will never get another chance. But the left acts on emotions and feelings, so I'm not surprised by their actions.

    the topic is irrelevant, and is just like other hundred topics started by Liberals daily. In fact, you can combine all the Trump topics started by Liberals in the last 3 years into one and name it

    TRUMP KAPUT! :D

    This is a talking point that reeks of desperation to me. The impeachment proceeding has the support of a significant percentage of Americans because the allegations are already damning, credible, and easy to understand.

    And yet Trump appears to think his best strategy - ya know, as opposed to defending what is already out there - is that keeping it further in the public realm, exposing more information and corruption, will somehow reverse that trend.

    Congress is on recess and democratic leadership has zero incentive to force members to return sooner than necessary when the trump administration is making the obstruction article of impeachment that much easier to prove.

    But please try to explain why you think taunting is the right call? Why would an official impeachment vote lead to a reversal of the current trend in the polling data?

    Do you find it peculiar that the same folks who demand this process be rushed, are denying the committees who can rush this through, the witnesses and documents with which to rush this through?

    No rush at all sweetie, take as long as you need.... but if there is no impeachment vote, there is no impeachment, and if there is no impeachment, the Schitt's circus is not entitled to documents and testimonies covered by constitutionally mandated separation of powers and SCOTUS approved executive privilege.

    Sorry sunshine, you can't have it both ways, neither can the pencilneck, fat Jerry, Ocasio Pelosi and other clowns. They can always take their subpoenas to court though, you know LOL :D

    I have my doubts about the amount of increase in support for an impeachment inquiry among Republican voters.

    The impeachment proceedings haven’t started yet: what we now have is the kangaroo court! I know it, you know it. Trump knows it. America people know it.

    Democrats... do they know it? :nana:

    What excellent point is that?


    White House announces it will not comply with 'illegitimate and unconstitutional' impeachment inquiry

    Better hope those courts don't realize that there is no such requirement and that the Constitution gives the Speaker and other House Officers wide leeway in making that determination. Fingers crossed, huh?
