Impeach vs. Pelosi
Pelosi knows impeachment will look like political oppression to 1/3 of Americans She also knows the graven coward in the GOP will prevent impeachment. FOX propaganda and a collusionist GOP make governing this country nezt to impossible.

David Frum on why impeachment isn't the route to go.

quote:
By focusing on many different issues at once rather than the singular issue of impeachment, Democrats have the chance to do three things:

They focus on the discovery of facts rather than arguments over consequences: “What wrongs did Trump do?” rather than “Is removal the right remedy for these wrongs?”

They liberate their presidential candidates to campaign on the bread-and-butter issues that will mobilize and motivate less-committed voters, rather than obliging them to opine on the big existential question of impeachment and removal.

They reserve the impeachment remedy for the very genuine possibility of a Trump second term, by which time the Senate will likely have shifted more in the Democrats’ direction.

Trump outrages the sense of justice. It is understandable that many yearn for urgent and decisive action to cleanse the American system. But wise action is better than urgent action, and the best decision is one that leads to success.

Missing the point comment: I had to google "graven." Realized I didn't really know what it meant. ThumbsUp
