And this is a census year. If we lose this year it will be at least 10 more years of republican rule due to redistricting and more voter suppression codified by law. I am really worried. I saw some talking heads on CNN (I know I know) that were speaking to Wisconsin voters who were saying that they do not care about impeachment but they were worried that Liz Warren was going to take away their healthcare. These were Democrats! They voted for the blue wave in 2018 but might vote for Trump. The republicans were energized by the impeachment saying that they must show up in force to defeat the socialists and save the President. We cannot persuade these people.

God. This entire clusterfuck is Trump and Russia trying to force Ukraine and the Democratic party into the mercy position, so they can yell "Why are you hitting yourself?" over and over at them.

Ukraine and Democrats are targeted because they consistently stand up to these bullies.

Can't you impeach incompetent judges? If the Democrats gain enough control of both Houses of Congress, that's a possibility for getting rid of the judges, at least.

Get out the votes, and work on a state-by-state strategy.

We (the Dems) easily won the popular vote last time around, and look where it got us.

They're also in their way to world domination.

Then just focus on the easiest and most obvious stuff. With the main Ukraine thing, it's a clear case of extortion. Leave the taxes, emoluments, Mueller Report, etc. alone (for now).

e) Mueller's team made the key mistake of assuming Barr and Congressional Republicans were just as fair and honest as they were.

So how on earth did Rudi put Mafiosis away? He uses the same tactics, he's obvious about it, but-----HOW? WHY? HOW?

I'm gonna guess the Mafiosis got behind on their protection money. Nice organised crime ring they had there, shame something happened to it...

Well, that’s what the Starr Report ended up being, but remember, Starr was originally tasked with investigating a real estate deal. But, finding nothing there, he decided to keep digging until he found the smoking blue dress.

Why did Poroshenko want to fend off Putin? I thought he was all pro-Russia and trying to keep Ukrain from leaning West and hooking up with Western Europe.

In theory? Yes. In practice? Just like any other impeachment, you'd need lots of GOP votes.
