Politico provides the finally compelling argument for me: “Judges have repeatedly ruled that Congress has a greater claim to sensitive government documents and personal information when it can point to an ongoing legal matter, instead of just a congressional investigation or legislative debate. And impeachment would give lawmakers that legal matter — the process is essentially a court procedure run by Congress where the House brings charges and the Senate holds the trial.” My primary argument for not impeaching was that traitor trump will never be convicted in the Senate and it will only make him stronger, which is all still true; however, at the same time, I’ve already conceded traitor trump is going to win re-election. So, in short, there is absolutely no good reason not to impeach; it is the necessary process which history must preserve and give an account.
If this democracy is going to fail then there must at least be a record of good trying to triumph over evil. Let dumbass Democrats in the House assert their final gasp of power while they can. They’ve been weak for decades, which lead to this point where a minority party (RepubliKKKlans) controls just enough of the government and judiciary to permanently solidify power. None of this matters anymore. We have turned the page on democracy. It is now 42% of the population dictating how the rest of the country should live and function because the majority is too stupid and apathetic to care. Twice in two decades, the Democratic presidential nominee won the majority of popular votes yet a RepubliKKKlan became president. Then there is this collective ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and in both these cases, the country was taken into radically different directions — from 9/11, illegal war with Iraq, and the Great Recession to ignoring climate change, trade wars, and condoning foreign election tampering to win at all costs. Welcome to stupid America!
