Update: It seems the politically advantageous impeachment strategy long advocated by
US Person is
finally being recognized by Democratic pundits. A trial in the Senate of Il Douche puts the despicable bourbon Senator Mitch McConnell in a very embarrassing squeeze during an election year: publicly defending the least popular and probably criminal 45th President. Acquitting a president that is so obviously guilty of multiple "high crimes and misdemeanors" is a political liability that even the residents of Kentucky could not stand. To make impeachment a lock in the House and send the case to the Senate, caucus leaders need 87 more public commitments from Democrats by the end of the year, otherwise it will be too close to the election. Its worth the effort because the process may not rid US of the Malignant One short of loosing re-election, but it might unseat 'Moscow Mitch' as collateral damage. Jonathan Alter writing at the
Daily Beast suggests, "Despite his acquittal, impeachment—a convenient shorthand for all of his
despicable qualities—would hang around Donald Trump’s neck all the way
to Election Day. And he would be stained forever in history, his just
deserts.”

{7.09.19}The list of particulars against Il Douche has grown since Robert Mueller dropped his bombshell report. It seems every other day the media uncovers
another instance of his blatant financial exploitation of public office¹. It is nothing new for the serial bankrupt from Queens: his inherited real estate empire was built on his
father's cronyism and political influence peddling². His criminality is now so obvious that even cautious Jerry Nadler (D-NY) will resort to holding a hearing for a vote on a formal impeachment inquiry. Reports are that the vote is is scheduled for mid-week. Nadler has already told federal judges reviewing congressional subpoena requests that his committee is conducting such an investigation, but a formal vote will undoubtedly help clarify Judiciary Committee's legal position as it battles the regime's scorched earth resistance. The Judiciary and six other committees investigating the Malignant Donald have faced a stonewall attempting to obtain testimony and documents.
Apparently some Democrats on recess in their districts encountered difficulty explaining the "fake impeachment" process to constituents too. The formal impeachment measure is expected to delineate the parameters of the official inquiry. Repugnants on the committee complained loudly that any impeachment inquiry requires a formal vote. They will undoubtedly get their demand fulfilled. More than half the Democratic caucus in Congress support impeachment of the
wannabe fascist occupying the Very White House.

1"But now, miraculously, now that Donald Trump is president, American
military cargo planes have started refueling at that [Prestwick] airport, at a
significant price mark up. Right. It’s much cheaper for them to get
their fuel at military bases [Lakenheath]. That’s part of the reason they always stop
at military bases. Also, they’re the military. They’re no longer
stopping at military bases,” TV journalist Rachel Maddow noted. “Instead they’re stopping at the airport that Trump needs to prop up
to keep his Scottish golf resort going and paying full freight
commercial airport rates for that fuel. And then they’re sending the
aircrews to go stay at the president’s resort,” she explained. Where by the way, their per Diem is not enough to pay for drinks and food at the pricey Turnberry resort.
2 Amazingly troubadour Woody Guthrie was a tenant of the elder Trump. He sung of Fred Trump's racial discrimination in housing: “I suppose/Old Man Trump knows/Just how much/Racial hate/He stirred
up/In the bloodpot of human hearts/When he drawed/That color line.”
