Very good piece by Alternet though even they fall into the canard that ‘impeachment will likely fail’-wrong! Even if there’s no ultimate conviction and removal that doesn’t mean ‘impeachment has failed’ impeachment is simply a vote by the House to indict-if it has the votes to pass it’s already succeeded if McConnell and Friends abdicate their roles to protect Trump that doesn’t somehow mean impeachment ‘failed.’

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/05/15/jerry-nadler-probably-not-headed-for-impeachment-but-trump-makes-it-difficult-to-avoid.html

 

Jerry Nadler: The president can be impeached only if two things, only for misuse of presidential power while president or for cheating in the election that gave him the presidency. Other than that, if he did something terrible before he was president, he robbed the bank, that’s not impeachable. It’s a crime, but it’s not impeachable.

Agree 100% with the Chairman as far as that goes.

John Harwood: Do you believe he’s committed crimes while in office?

Jerry Nadler: Yes I do. Mueller lays out very strong evidence of a number of obstructions of justice. Those are crimes. Yes, of course he did.

John Harwood: I wonder if the larger idea is that Democrats think that Donald Trump is a con man, and they are justified in finding ways to get a con man out of office.

Jerry Nadler: I would very much oppose that point of view. Donald Trump is a con man. He is thoroughly dishonest. He lies all the time. We know that. None of those are grounds for impeachment.

This however, I disagree with-as Yoni Applebaum tells us maladministration is an impeachable offense. If Trump’s being a conman amounts to maladministration there’s a case for it.

Though I agree that the most important a central reason Trump needs to be impeached is: he cheated in the election that gave him the ‘Presidency’

 

 

I read Congressman Swalwell’s pious comments diferently-they are so proud of being ‘better than Trump’ they are allowing themselves to be beaten like a drum by Trump and the GOP co-conspirators

Now we’re talking

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/05/10/house-committee-subpoenas-treasury-secretary-steven-mnuchin-irs-commissioner-charles-rettig-over-trump-tax-returns/?utm_term=.3172cc8028b8

 

It’s taken as simply canonical by the MSM that impeachment is bad for Democrats. 

Democrats know that impeachment is a losing proposition against President Donald Trump right now.”

How can you know this for a fact as it’s a mere-dubious-political conjecture? The MSM treats it’s own bad narratives as a fact. And as usual it’s really ill serving the country. Many folks are hopelessly confused. 

This poll by Reuters actually contradicts the narrative that impeaching illegitimate ‘President Trump’ is terribly unpopular-please don’t impeach President Trump we are so in love with the Fuhrer you see. 

The number of Americans who said President Donald Trump should be impeached rose 5 percentage points to 45 percent since mid-April, while more than half said multiple congressional probes of Trump interfered with important government business, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Thursday..”

Yet if you try to understand public opinion based on this poll it’s a hopeless muddle

The latest poll showed stronger support for impeachment among Democrats and independents.

It also showed that 57 percent of adults agreed that continued investigations into Trump would interfere with important government business. That included about half of all Democrats and three-quarters of all Republicans.

After a nearly two-year investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller of Trump and Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election, House Democrats are pursuing multiple inquiries into Trump’s presidency, his family and his business interests.

Trump is stonewalling at least a half-dozen such inquiries, refusing to disclose his tax returns, invoking executive privilege to keep the unredacted Mueller report under wraps and filing unprecedented lawsuits to block House investigators.

“It’s becoming a circus over there” in Washington, said Fatima Alsrogy, 36, a T-shirt designer from Dallas who took the poll. “There are so many more important things the country needs to pay attention to right now.”

Alsrogy, an independent, thinks Trump should be impeached. Yet she also wishes lawmakers would do more to improve the healthcare system for self-employed people like her.

So impeach Trump though investigating him is a distraction?!

Does Alsrogy believe that impeachment is a one day vote? Spoiler alert it’s not-and it would not mean less time on investigating Trump-if anything it would require more but better targeted. That an impeachment inquiry would distract is a feature not a bug-almost any active policy he takes an interest in will be horrible for the country. Indeed, the real problem with ACA is being caused by Trump and Coverup AG Barr.

I certainly both emphasize and sympathize with Ms. Alsorgy’s anxiety over healthcare. But the MSM is lying to her-the reason something isn’t being done about it, the reason policy isn’t getting done on much of anything isn’t because the Democrats are investigating ‘President Trump’ but because of Mitch McConnell who has put all the legislation Pelosi has sent him in a closet somewhere.

This is a total canard-the GOP isn’t into policy.

I mean Ted Cruz is the partisan hack who shutdown the government for a publicity stunt and he’s concerned about governing? That the MSM repeats this canard all day just shows how badly it is failing-it’s got regular Americans believing such patent nonsense.

So will all these think pieces and cable panels adjust their narrative? Of course not-what matters for the MSM isn’t the truth but their narrative. If the facts contradict the narrative then the facts must be wrong.

With all the false equivalence-by the Dem leaders as much as anyone-between Trump and Clinton what has been totally forgotten is that Clinton and the GOP actually got a lot of stuff passed-remember triangulation?

Arguably liberals would have been happier had they gotten less done-much of it was about ‘ending the era of big government’ etc.

But wether you liked the bills they passed-much of it liberals didn’t love-it certainly puts the lie to the idea that you can’t pass legislation with a President while on another track you are trying to destroy him by any means necessary.

How do they ‘know’ this? This is a mere political conjecture not a fact.
