With all the panicking over and the bashing I’ve done of the MSM they now get it.

Yep even Ken Dilanian gets it now.

The question now is when do the Democratic leaders get it?

True but do the Dem leaders also want to move on?

Final sentence:

I’m a life long Democrat and have voted straight Dem all my adult life-I made one mistake in 1996 voting for Cellucci for Mass Gov when I was living there-and regretted it very soon-and I love the Democratic party.

But like the proverbial abused wife, you can’t save someone who won’t save herself. If the Democratic party fails here-thereby making teh failure of our system complete-then I’m sitting 2020 out. Probably I’ll vote in Hillary Clinton regardless of candidate.

You can’t save someone who wont save herself and in the end in such situations your attempts to support her are only enabling her own abuse.

So I wont’ be voting for the Dems in 2020 if they let Trump walk, if they prove he was right-he can shoot someone on 5th and Steny Hoyer will let him get away with it.

Because voting for them would only be enabling  their 2nd class status and for their own good I’m not going to do that anymore. So they needn’t justapose impeachment to 2020 as no impeachment no 2020.

There’s two different gender divides in American politics-between male and female politicians but ALSO between Republicans and Democrats. As Michelle Goldberg puts it the Democratic Party is a Girl.

She argues The politicans of the Dem party-both male and female-are held to the tougher standards society imposes on women.

I agree-you can’t understand the gender divide of American politics without factoring not just the gender divide of individual politicans but also the gendered divide of the two parties.

Joy Reid-the Good Mother party; the GOP on the other hand is not Divorced Dad-as Michelle Obama’s rather inapt analogy put it-but rather the Abusive, Alcoholic Dad party of American politics.

The Dems are acting like the abused wife who only in learning more about her and her situation do you discover how complicit she herself is in her own abuse, and subordinated, second class status.

But the young politicans get it if the old fogeys don’t. AOC-Rashida-Ohmar.

Disagree vigorously with Jamie Raskin

“We have to be playing offense for the American people at the same time that we are defending ourselves from a lawless White House; that’s challenging for us,” he said. “In Congress, we have to look at it both: [impeachment’s] legal meanings but also its political context because we do have other agendas we have to be advancing for the American people.”

I agree with Maxine Waters-the complacency of the Dem leaders must end. They are too comfortable with Trump’s abuse of power, his obstruction, his illegitimacy.

Passing meaningless legilsation that Mitch McConnell will table isn’t ‘offense.’ To the contrary the only thing the Dems can do that Mitch McConnell can’t table is impeachment. If they impeach Trump McConnell has to take it up. He will have to convene a trial for this illegitmate ‘president.’

Even if McConnell and Friends acquit him the process itself will hurt but Trump and his GOP protectors. I still don’t agree with the conventional wisdom that impeachment somehow hurts the Democrats politically I think it could do the opposite. But this is about more than mere political expediency it’s about what’s right.

Letting Trump off the hook here-effectively agreeing with him that he can shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with it is hardly ‘going on offense.’

Trump says it’s ‘Presidential harassment’ ‘it should never happen to another President again’

At least he’s thinking about precedent-more than the Democratic leadership is doing.

 

Ed Kilgore misses the point

He’s right and I won’t vote for anyone complicit with dismantling our democracy.
