All impeachment needs to be valid is to be politically defensible, and that only if we assume that those voting for it want to be reelected. That bar is easily cleared in the case of the current occupant of the Oval Office.

We're clearly not at a tipping point where The Republicans in the House are ready to be more loyal to their country than their party. We're heading in that direction certainly. In the mean time, an organized, on message resistance needs continue to make being president miserable for The Hair. The trolling of him on Twitter is a good start but needs to be more organized hitting and repeating key messages of failure, body image, stupidity. We know the things that set him off on irrational tweet storms. The opposition to him needs to be more organized in hitting those buttons.

The more the Trump spectacle interferes with the Congressional GOP agenda, the more likely they are to want to trade Trump in for Pence.
That is the bottom line. It's not like the GOP Congress actually supports Trump. I don't believe for a minute he is more to them than a means to an end. |

Considering the entire GOP colluded with Russia as well, I doubt they will pursue impeachment. They are all compromised.

This must be a horror scenario for the Intelligence Service and FBI: they have all kinds of actionable intel,but they can't take it to Congress or the White House because they are exactly the people they are investigating.
The constitution didn't account for this. |

It would be a coup, not a counter-coup, even I agree that sounds better: Trump got elected, even if only because too many people got manipulated to vote wrong or not at all: the ballots themselves were not rigged to any sufficient degree.
But a coup can be fully legitimate if the White House, Congress and the DOJ don't fulfill their obligations to uphold the Constitution. |

Aside from the question of direct vs indirect vote rigging, there is a growing body of evidence that there was in fact direct vote tampering.
Mike Farb is doing exhaustive work documenting testimony regarding rigged EVM/EVCM, and statistical analysis to back it up, and Jonathan Simon has been discussing the issue for years. |

With McConnell there is his previously disclosed association with pro-Putin foreign businessmen, plus his repeated active steps to prevent investigation and disclosure going all the way back to mid-2016. A position he continues to hold denying the need for a fully independent investigator despite the overwhelming mountain of evidence of Trump/Russia ties. There's also this: http://bipartisanreport.com/2017/04/...ussia-details/ But the sources are not as open as they are elsewhere. |

Given the references I've seen in various comment sections calling for people to abandon Fox because it has "sold out" in favor of this channel I can only conclude that it is even worse than Fox (which is still a right-wing shill network despite a few signs of decency peeking out recently). |
