This is another example of why government does not work.
I mean, I heard about all of the Burisma and Hunter stuff and it sounded pretty obviously criminal to me. I have seen the Dems circle the wagons and deny and stonewall and obfuscate the issues. I've seen the media ignore and minimize and defend the Biden administration. All of this is disgusting and warrants a big investigation.
...but what purpose will it serve, besides wasting time and money and making the government look more farcical than it already is?
We are setting ourselves up to have two parties that are forever at each other's throats until the country collapses. It's not surprising to me, but it's sad and what makes it worse is that we can all see the iceburg on the horizon, but the captain and the first mate are having a fistfight on the bridge and no one is turning the ship.
This is all happening as predicted. But, like the story of Cassandra, it appears that we are all doomed to fulfill our fates.

Trumped up.
No, what's going to happen is that movement conservatism, in the form in which it has existed since 1964, is gradually -- very gradually, on a generational timescale -- going to fade away, because it has no appeal to the Millennials and Zoomers. The nationalist populism which emerged with Perot and morphed into the Tea Party and the Trump movement will suffer the same fate for the same reasons. The GOP will survive as an organization, but will change its politics and constituency, as it has before -- quite possibly it will evolve into something more or less indistinguishable from the Libertarian Party, entirely pro-business (that kind of politics might still have some appeal to Millennials), purged of the last traces of social and religious conservatism and of neoconservative warhawkery. Meanwhile, a whole new vigorous left-populism will emerge (its beginnings are already apparent in the People's Party), far to the left of the present political center-of-gravity of the Democrats, and might well take over the party in the same way the Tea Party took over the GOP.
All of this will take a long time, because people live so long now, and retirees vote.
But we will have two parties forever, in some form or other, unless and until we change over to proportional representation.

Let's just say they had a deleterious effect on the public perception of Trump in some demographics of the population, as they were designed to do. The Russia hoax did the same, as it was intended to do.

He'll never be impeached for anything like that.
The only reason not is if (R)'s lack the spine.
Which is totally possible if not likely, but certainly not impossible.

LMFAO.... that fantasy is already falling apart in real time.
It is far too soon to tell.

Not at all.... left populism and the insane racism/sexism it's decided to join up with is crashing and burning.
You guys memed yourselves and the millennials and zoomers are recoiling from it.
Comedians are starting to no longer give a fuck, and getting funny again.
Shows that get woke are going broke, because they fucking suck.
Anime/manga is just laying waste to woke garbage in sales and popularity.
I was down in the city the other day welcoming my 4th kid into the world and while out getting stuff at the gas station a gaggle of kids was laughing about how racist it was to get a purple drink and if it was cultural appropriation or not. Gave me hope to see young people not walking around on PC egg shells.
Woke politics are too much of a fucking joke to last......

Left populism is rooted in real economic needs and problems, only tangentially connected with racism or sexism (they are also white men's problems), which are not about to go away.

Winning an election. Everybody knows the White House belongs to the Republicans, period.

No, it's rooted in woke lunacy and even the kids are starting to poke fun at it.
Wokeness is the white mans problem. It's literally bigotry against white males made politic.
Nope, PAYBACK .... plain and simple.
And I hope the GOP led house comes right out and say "Because we can, let's go Brandon!"
You won't find any woke lunacy here. (There is a "racial justice" plank, but not even you should find anything objectionable in it. There's nothing about CRT.)

We learned that from the previous presidency. It's about throwing red meat at your rabid base.
Even if they're vegan?

Agreed! If impeachment is put on the calendar it should be for dereliction of duty on his handling of border security I think is the way to go, may push Dems to come to the table for real immigration reform.

I’m predicting that we’ll be in a war before the midterms.
That's how the Tea Party looked at first. The third-party route is always futile, but the People's Party does have the potential to take over the Democrats as the Tea Party took over the GOP. It does represent a real and powerful current in American politics that is destined to grow in power, one way or another.
With whom?
If a police chief says, "This department will no longer make any arrests for drug-related offenses, not even if we catch a distributor with a ton of the stuff," that might get him fired, but not impeached, if impeachment were available at the municipal level. It would be entirely within the legitimate scope of his executive discretion. It would not be dereliction of duty.

No.
Undermining democracy by outright refusing to do your job isn't legitimate executive discursion.
That the left thinks it is, IS the problem.
