    Right now 54% of those polled support impeaching Trump. 50% favor convicting and removing him. Seems like there's considerable support out there in the populace.

    Oh BS...if Hillary f'n Clinton had won the election and proceeded to say and text and do all of the things Trump has done you would feel completely differently...deny it if you want but it's true and you know it.

    Again, I'm no liberal but in this case, I believe the Dems are not only within their right to do what they are doing, they are doing the right thing, even considering that the GOP has already stated they will not allow Trump to be removed.

    What's also curious was if the situation was totally switched, would the DNC state that whoever their "person" was wouldn't be removed. I want to think they would, but I'm not sure.

    The Dems always planned to impeach Trump. It's really sad they have sunk this low.

    Desperate.

    This is their entire platform and its sad.

    "Always"?..That's simply not true...you're just regurgitating what some others have said. Have the Dems disliked Trump since the beginning?...certainly, he made it very easy to dislike him. Were their some whispers by a very few early on?...probably. But even that dingbat Pelosi was initially against impeachment.

    Answer one simple question, why did Trump instruct current and previous cabinet members to not cooperate with subpoenas?

    Yes, always. Since day 1. Evidence be damned, or not. This is a targeted impeachment attempt made in bad faith.

    And that's why Trump instructed them not to cooperate.

    Now you’re just trolling for the fun of it. You were in high school (at least) when Clinton was impeached. How did you feel then???? Especially when all he did (besides lying about it) was receive a consensual hummer in the Oval Office. The Republicans spent Clinton’s entire eight years trying to roadblock, prosecute and impeach him on far, far less serious bullshit than what the Democrats have against Trump.

    I remember how gut punched I felt when the Republicans stole (yes, stole) the 2000 election and a mental midget was installed in the White House. Did the Democrats try to impeach Bush??? That would be “no”. When Bush led us into the Iraq War on falsified info, did the Democrats impeach?? Again, “no”.

    What Trump has done is impeachable. The obstruction charge alone is inarguable. If the man did not have something to hide, he would not be ordering his minions to ignore the law by refusing to testify. If the president (a servant of the people) is immune from accountability, then we are no longer a Democracy, just another dictatorship.

    The Republicans have pretty much made and manipulated the rules. Funny how they (and you) whine when the Democrats start to play by those rules.....

    These do not add up to "High Crimes and Misdemeanors". Not even close.

    But thanks for lowering the bar for impeachment. The next Democrat President (whenever the fuck that is) will thank you for the retaliatory impeachment.

    Again, that's grossly exaggerated BS, and you know it. And exactly what "evidence" are you speaking of?

    And I'm still waiting for you to answer my simple question; "why did Trump instruct current and previous cabinet members to not cooperate with subpoenas?"

    So.....did what Clinton get impeached for by the Republicans amount to “high crimes and misdemeanors”? Asking for a friend...Your Republican friends are the ones who set the bar at it’s current height. Some of us don’t lose our memories after twenty plus years.....but apparently MAGA does. Or perhaps self examination and shame aren’t Republican virtues.....

    I don't agree with the BJ Clinton impeachment.

    However, lying under oath is way worse than anything that Trump has done.

    Actually, after the civil war, President Andrew Johnson's administration was ultra corrupt. The Presidents who served from the civil war up to the end of that century are in the same category. Newspapers could lie to get circulation and back door politics was prevalent throughout this period.

    Sorry, but no, you didn't answer it after the first time I asked you...instead, you've sidestepped the question. "why did TRUMP instruct current and previous cabinet members to not cooperate with subpoenas?"....... Try it again without shitting the bed this time.

    Unless he has something to hide, there's absolutely NO reason for him not to comply".

    I repeat my answer: Its a targeted impeachment attempt based on bad faith. He has no reason to give the democrats any rope. If he wants the subpoenas enforced, have the democrats go to court to have them enforced.
