Impeachment 2, Dems get to kick Trump on his way out.

 IMPEACHMENT IS NOW JUST ANOTHER MEANINGLESS POLITICAL WEAPON

IT MAY BECOME A REGULAR TACTIC BY THE MAJORITY

So, The Democratic majority house has fulfilled their promise to the Democratic base that they would impeachment Trump. They promised this before the inauguration, even made it happen twice, a new record for partisan politics. I am sure that it is not the last we will hear of impeachment. It is likely to become a regular feature of U.S. politics.

The first impeachment was brought forth, when Trump had the audacity to question leaders in Ukraine about the corruption of the Biden family. Any mention of corruption by establishment politicians it seems is a no, no. Expect the full force of the federal government. First it was debunked. Then it was, of course, Russian disinformation. Now within days we can expect it will all go away and be labeled a political investigation. 

The second impeachment was brought forth when a peaceful protest about election fraud got out of hand by a small number of the protesters. Of course, we have never seen such protests get out of hand by Antifa and Black lives matter, even when they destroyed business's and cities for months. The real offense was to suggest that there was voter fraud in the 2020 election.  What most people wanted, including a large number of house members and senators, was to have a bi-partisan view of the results with some audits of the most egregious accusations. Their hope was that a transparent view would restore confidence in the election by all Americans. Now we are told that all is well, no fraud, take our word for it, and if you don't you are a conspirator and unhinged. You may even be subject to some penalty, yet to be determined.

That approach just magnifies the beliefs of those who have questioned the results. 

So now they claim they are going to send the impeachment over to the Senate for a trial, but to their dismay Trump will not be in the Presidency by the time any trial could be convened. No matter, they say, just got to do it. Even when the first impeachment was advertised as having to be conducted by the Senate in an exclusive manner, with no other business to be conducted by the Senate. Even while occurring with the onset of the Covid-19 problem. It is likely much of this has to do to pressure Trump to do, or not do, certain things before he leaves office. It has not worked before and will unlikely work now. It seems rules are now to be changed whenever it is inconvenient or not in the political interest of the majority.

I have no problem with such a trial, let the Senators spew forth their hate. Make them all vote, including the Republicans, and especially those who have a hope of running for president in 2024. After all, they would not want to run against Trump in 2024. 

I think Trump has served his tour of duty, he should now look to see where he can be effective in the future or just plain enjoy life. He has not only changed the politics of the U.S. forever, but also internationally. Biden is inheriting a far different world than the one he left in 2016. His administration is nothing more than the third Obama term, including most of the appointees. If they believe they can now reignite the middle east, they may find that those leaders have seen something better from the U.S. and may not be so easily manipulated. If they want to cozy up to Iran, they will find  few allies in the middle-east.

At home, he will have the power of the media, which has been diminished for much of the nation. It is obvious the left fears an honest debate on the issues, that is why they are attempting to suppress free speech by their opposition. A much larger and better informed opposition. They may attempt to suppress them, but they will not make them go away.
