POLL:
21 GOP senators are up for reelection in 2020. Dems afraid to consider impeachment say we’ll do better if we nix impeachment talk. We need to flip 4 seats. WILL WE DO BETTER if we nix it? Or keep it viable? Plz RT 👍
Granted, impeachment is bad for our country. Effectively removing the impeachment clause from the constitution (make no mistake, that's what Afraid-to-impeach will do) is worse. Think about it. It makes anyone working for the Executive Branch, above the law. See #ToadyBarr
Afraid to impeach? (Yes, we may come up short, BUT)
• Russian election help in 2020? No problem.
• Obstruct FBI investigations? No problem.
• Lie to Congress? No problem.
• Prosecute opponents? Absolutely!
• Trump orders you to break a law? No problem.
Afraid to impeach?? What if Congress made a criminal referral against a Trump lackey to @theJusticeDept and/or @FBI?? Remember, they no longer enforce obstruction of justice laws. Toady Barr & his lap dog, Chris Wray have already shown us who they are.
Among whose voters will Dems do WORSE in 2020 if we impeach?
KY McConnell
SC Graham
TX Cornyn
ME Collins
NE Sasse
NC Tillis
WV Capito
LA Cassidy
AR Cotton
MT Daines
WY Enzi
IA Ernst
CO Gardner
MS Hyde-Smith
OK Inhofe
GA Perdue
ID Risch
KS Roberts
SD Rounds
AK Sullivan
TN Open
“You don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic..Impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about cleansing the office. It's about restoring honor & integrity to the office”– Lindsey Graham Jan 1999
washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…
By not having an “investigation to determine whether sufficient grounds exist for the House..to impeach”* (Watergate Roadmap, 1974) they’re allowing Trump to relax & it strengthens him. Will anyone vote for a Dem Wimp Party in 2020??
wired.com/story/mueller-…
If the goal of investigations is not "to determine whether sufficient grounds exist for the House to exercise its constitutional power to impeach” they will be seen as a farce. If 50+% of the House votes to impeach. He's impeached. How does that hurt Dems in 2020?
Stop and think about this. If you let Trump know he won't be impeached, how's he going to act? How are GOP Senators going to act? How is AG Toady Barr, his U.S. Att'ys & his @FBI going to act? And, Russia will have a field day rigging the 2020 election. #PrecipiceOf1PartyRule
POLL: #PecipiceOf1PartyRule
If AG Bill Barr, Rod Rosenstein @theJusticeDept & Chris Wray @FBI held a press conference & promised to aggressively defend the 2020 election from Russian interference, would you:
Still afraid to start the impeachment processes??
“Donald Trump has ominously threatened to ‘turn the tables’ on those involved in the Mueller investigation, accusing them of treason and vowing to ‘bring them to justice’”. #PrecipiceOf1PartyRule
independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
.#AfraidToImpeach?? That's silly.
NOBODY has explained how impeaching Trump then falling short of removal in the Senate trial is going to make Dems look worse in the 2020 election. "I was thinking of voting Democrat, until you guys impeached" said nobody, ever!
“Trump accuses Mueller report participants of 'treason' & vows to 'turn tables' on them”
Mueller was not afraid to recommend it & lay out roadmaps. Why be #AfraidToImpeach? "I was thinking of voting Democrat until you guys impeached Trump" said noone ever!

• "Investigate..will cost the Dems big time in 2020." – @realDonaldTrump, 4/21/19

• "I was thinking of voting Democrat until you guys impeached Trump" – said by NOBODY, ever!
Don’t be #AfraidToImpeach – Trump hears voices
♫Still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
“Impeach” said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can check out any time you like,

MUST READ THREAD – Barr is the Most Dangerous Man in America –
“Barr is the attorney general of the Trump regime, and protection of the maximum leader is his sole mission. He is a weapon, not a servant...”
thedailybeast.com/william-barr-i…
Barr is ”..openly weaponizing the DOJ to potentially sully the future public, private & legal testimony of members of the DOJ, FBI & intelligence community who have seen the damning data on Trump.”
"The goal is to intimidate anyone investigating Trump’s vast portfolio of corruption & obstruction of justice, both before & after he took office. It goes far beyond the Russia probe; it’s an investigation that aims to terrify all future witnesses & whistleblowers into silence.”

In 1977, mentored by MS Sen. James Eastland, Biden fought busing to achieve integration in schools. “Those who would mix little children of both races in our schools are following an illegal, immoral & sinful doctrine..” – Eastland
cnn.com/2019/04/11/pol…
.#JoesOldWays
In 1974 Biden “joined his virulently racist North Carolina colleague Jesse Helms in voting to kneecap all federal efforts to integrate schools, anywhere in the country.”
nymag.com/intelligencer/…
.#JoesOldWays Biden in 1974 on why busing is racist –
“‘In order for your child with curly black hair, brown eyes & dark skin to be able to learn anything, he needs to sit next to my blond-haired, blue-eyed son.’ That’s racist!”

.@SenJohnKennedy is one of GOP's 8 Moscow Mules who went to Russia last 4th of July. This is why @theJusticeDept wants to keep the #MuellerReport classified. "Classified" means protect Russia, GOP & their kompromat. Remember, they have RNC emails too.
newsweek.com/republican-rel…
When our fascistic #theJusticeDept tells supine media "it's classified" they should ask why:
• To protect the GOP?
• To protect Trump?
• To protect Russia's kompromat or its oligarchs?
It's sure as hell not to protect America. Vapid idioms like "national security" are dodges.
MEDIA: Why is it classified?
@theJusticeDept: To protect sources.
MEDIA: What are you doing with the information these sources give you, anything?
@theJusticeDept: It's classified.
MEDIA: How are you protecting America?
@theJusticeDept: It's classified. You have to trust us.

1. Weak take, ⁦@ChrisCuomo⁩. This is spinning off ⁦@ChrisChristie⁩ justifying the #GOP’s blind loyalty to Trump because Dems stood by Bill Clinton - also a bad take.

Cuomo: This is why Trump supporters shrug off lies - CNN Politics apple.news/A9Vq6dDeORFmKs…
2. This isn’t to say partisanship, poor behavior, even corruption isn’t a both-sides problem. It is. But, a zero-sum interpretation is ridiculous. We have never had a POTUS that was as corrupt, unethical, untruthful and unhinged as Trump.
3. The normalization of Trump has come through the sheer onslaught of his scandals and the Groundhog Day manner the media has afforded him. The same shocking revelations and behavior discussed each time like it’s new - an endless norm-shattering Ferris Wheel.

In this article, @Sulliview argues that "talk of impeachment, all-but-taboo in Big Media’s coverage of Trump, [has] moved from the margins into the mainstream." She attributes that development mainly to a prominent essay in @TheAtlantic. That's not right. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/styl…
There's no denying that #impeachment talk has accelerated over the past few months. But I'm not convinced that this past week was really such a Rubicon when considered in broader perspective, or that a handful of well-argued essays in liberal magazines are the drivers of change.
For starters, there's been no shortage of impeachment talk in mainstream publications since Trump took office. I've gathered quite a few such articles in this @ShallTakeCare database, which includes analyses tracing back to before Trump even took office. takecareblog.com/blog/impeachin…

Here’s the reality: this shutdown could end with Trump cracking—or with McConnell simply overriding a Trump veto and re-passing the spending bill that previously sailed unanimously through the Senate and, in the next Congress, just passed the House.
Tons of GOP senators are up in 2020, incl
@SenJoniErnst @SenCoryGardner @SenatorCollins @SenThomTillis @sendavidperdue @SenMcSallyAZ—all of whom will lose if there’s a swing to D even close to as big as in 2018, giving Ds a majority even if Jones falls. & @senatemajldr is up too
The conventional wisdom is that voters have short memories and that damage from shutdowns fades fast. But that won’t apply if this lasts for months. Nobody forgot health care repeal. This shutdown will cause more & more real pain. And the public knows who’s inflicting it on them.

Starting to see the (inevitable) hot takes come out on why the Senate Democrats couldn't stop Kavanaugh.

Say it with me now: 🗣 They don't have the majority. 🗣

But good news. We can change that. Here's a quick refresher.
1. At present, the Senate breakdown is 51/49, with the Democrats in the majority.

(Picture (C) - CNN)
2. Confirmation votes and specific forms of legislation usually only require a simple majority or 51 votes, which is *why* it's been so hard to stop cabinet appointments and parts of the Trump agenda.

It's also why it feels like we've had to beg Republicans every key vote.

GOP insisted on reviewing ALL of Elana Kagan’s WH documents before confirmation, but are pushing a September hearing for Kavanaugh with less than 1% reviewed.

WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?

What role did he played in torture policy and against marriage equality in the Bush WH?
We know that Kavanaugh would almost certainly mean the end of
Roe v Wade. Now, video has surfaced of him discussing Scalia’s opposition to gay marriage and abortion, categorizing them as “new rights,” not guaranteed under the Constitution.
msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/…
Like most “originalists,” Kavanaugh seems to forget the 9th Amendment, which guarantees rights to the people not enumerated by the Constitution, as well as the First, which prohibited laws based on religious beliefs. More on this: m.huffpost.com/us/entry/71880…
