The case against impeachment

While I whole-heartedly believe that Trump bears significant responsibility for the events of the other day, and therefore there is blood on his hands, and while I also think the 25th may need to be invoked to prevent him from doing something even more stupid, in the long term I think it might be a mistake to impeach him.

The problem we have right now is the politics of antagonizing. Its what got Trump elected in the first place as he was a master at it, still is, and it causes people to justify in their own minds doing things they would otherwise be ashamed of. Impeaching Trump would just be antagonizing aimed at he and his supporters. We can argue to the cows come home whether such is morally justified, but it would simply beget more antagonizing by his supporters. The merry go round should stop somewhere and if we have to wait an extra week for that to happen when Trump leaves office, its probably worth it and I think we'd better off.

Have to hope that there are some institutional guardrails in place so he can't order anything foolish domestically or internationally, but if so then a strong case can be made to let this sorry chapter of the country close at noon on January 20.

Lmao. The Dem party functions almost entirely on antagonization and stoking identity politics.

Maxine’s words were far worse and those hypocritical liberals let her be. Faux outrage by the Dems and their MSM PR arm. Biden going to bring the country together... so start by stop reading that garbage they’ve put on your teleprompter to grandstand with. What an effed up government.

Also, this smells like a trial run to make using the 25th not seem unusual when they install Kamala.

Storming the capitol was nuts. But the complete elitist contempt and lack of understanding for why people are upset is insanity.

Seeing how we give them life time contracts, and they see themselves as invincible, and not representatives of their constituency...

I fear that we have the wrong people in power for that. My guess is that they will use this as a reason to "crack down" on right wing organizations, pass draconian gun control and other legislation which will incite even worse responses.

Yep. Get ready for "Patriot Act, Part Deux: Democratic Rampage"

There's a line to walk between responding to the bad things going on, and partisan "piling on."

So here, I think this was a prudent discussion for Pelosi to have, but announcing it was probably "piling on."

Need to have a 2 year supply on hand at a minimum. Expect some crazy "gun control" legislation to be passed within the next couple of months.

IMO it’s going to be important to have strong governors in office and I don’t think Bill Lee fits that bill.

I would argue many of the Republicans have served their constituents very well. Look at the about face stances Cruz and Graham took after Trump's election. They both eviscerated him before the 2016 election

For 8 years of barry's term it was non stop Palin threads, last 4 years non stop Trump threads. He will find a new boogeyman. Leading contenders: Hawley, Cruz, DeSantis or Noem.

A few days ago, you and others were wanting to skip due process and have him hung on the steps of the capitol....so which is it?

I never said that so quit projecting. It looks like some of your fellow patriots wanted to have some hangings though, who do you think this was for?

When judging protestors, look at what they're protesting against. If they're protesting an anti-constitutional party, then they're correct and being Americans. If they're protesting against the constitution then they're wrong. You would have been a good english sheep during the revolutionary war.

Is there a garage door attached? I can't tell.

It was implied in multiple posts between you and a few others. Take him out, etc.

I can't speak for others, but since you're so convinced I called for Trump's execution either directly or indirectly feel free to quote any of my comments.

Implied. We're all well aware of your discontent with DT and whitey.

So their solution to protect the constitution of the united states from people they believed were destroying it was to stage a violent coup against elected officials performing their duty as required by the constitution of the united states? Interesting strategy
