BC Idonwanna sez:  Untiil new polls come out...

Ms. Nancy finally pulled the string on King Orange this week.  In a historic vote that was only two short of a unanimous Democrat caucus, the full House voted to endorse the impeachment inquiry announced by the Speaker. Only one recovering Repugnant voted to for the resolution.  Notably, the vote came only after polls show the people are on board, and an Army lieutenant colonel* serving at the NSC substantiated the whistle blower's complaint in detail under oath.  Pressure from the left wing of the caucus to hold an impeahment inquiry had been building for months.  Way to hang, Ms. Nancy!

Repugnants will increasingly find it a kind of 'dry-drunk' defending the would-be mobster occupying the Very White House, as the Democrats deposit the mounting evidence against him in public.  His supporters have had to resort to a rather weak defensive line--"Yeah, yeah, but the wrongdoing is not severe enough to warrant removal".  Even this sociopathic narcissist is not depraved enough to shoot somebody on 5th Avenue in broad daylight, but he did confess to committing extortion while in office, which is a federal felony.  The de minimus line of argument demonstrates why it is so important to throw the entire litany of impeachable offenses at the raging elephant, including the obstruction of the Special Counsel's investigation, and not just depend on the contents of his now infamous "do us a favor" phone call to President Zelensky.  The Orange King is already in Missip' telling the rubes that "impeachment is an affront to you".  Clearly the only affront to the nation is his betrayal of his oath, and a willingness to exchange national security for kompromat from a foreign leader. (Mississippi's state flag has the confederate battle flag in its upper left quadrant, which says a lot about the state.)  The train may stop in the Senate on partisan grounds, but it is definitely headed to impeachment town in the House as predicted by yours truly, US Person.

*The optics of Col. Vindmin in his dress blues with a chest full of medals coming it to testify under oath in defiance of a regime order to boycott the hearings was made to order.  Just how low Repugnants are will to go to prop up their crumbling political hegemony was demonstrated when they accused Vindmin, a Ukranian Jew whose family fled to the US when he was three years old, of having 'divided loyalties'. The right wing tropes never change, they just get more outrageous.  Reactionaries were saying the same thing about JFK because he was a Roman Catholic 'papist'.
