Nancy Beating T as his own game.

Former Republican Ohio Gov. John Kasich says he’s now for impeaching Trump

John Kasich…..”After hearing Mulvaney’s comments, I now believe that Donald Trump should be impeached by the US House and face a trial in the US Senate.

This is not a decision I’ve made lightly, but it’s clear now that a line was crossed. This is an abuse of power. Action must be taken.”

I know everyone is screaming to IMPEACH already; that it’s long overdue. Emotionally I feel the same. I just want this mutha fucka GONE already.  BUT I think Nancy’s tactic of biding her time will prove to be correct.

First, as news of his abuses of power and crimes (and mental incapacity/decline)  are revealed — frequently by his own Republican appointees — it becomes harder and harder for the GOP to defend him.

Second, his betrayal of the Kurds is reviled by even his staunchest supporters.  Our allies are being brutally murdered. The Turks areraping and beheading Kurds, and posting videos!   This is all on Trvmp and everyone knows it.  Decent (and even not so decent) Americans are revolted by this.  And while it’s true that had he been removed sooner, this genocide might not have happened,  I think, sadly, it has taken something of this horrific proportion and something so clearly trvmp’s very own doing, for his congressional supporters to finally turn against him.

Third,  by now, there can no longer be any doubt (except for the most insane, ignorant supporters) that he’s a Putin asset.  For him to have ceded nuclear weapons to the Turks; to see the flags on the American base in Syria to be taken down and Russian flags put up in their place; to see all those ISIS terrorists that were being held  by the Kurds released has finally (it seems) brought many in the GOP to their breaking point.

And of course sentiment and pressure are building among Americans (i.e. constituents) for removal. The cowards in Congress who are afraid of their own voters are getting the message that America has finally become revolted enough to demand impeachment.

Fourth,  Nancy is beating Shitler at his own game of “tune in next week for another exciting episode.”  She’s taken control of the narrative.  Now instead of the news cycle hanging on Trvmp’s every crazy word,  it’s being fed by anticipation of more damning testimony coming out of the House committee.   And there can be no more denying that he’s always been in bed with the Russians, despite Barr’s attempt to minimize the findinings of Mueller Report.

I don’t disagree with those who say the US and the rest of the world might have been spared a lot of death and misery had he been removed sooner.  And undoubtedly it will take decades, perhaps generations,  for the US to recover from the damage this mad man has done.  But I am not entirely convinced that removal could have been accomplished before now.  There were too many who believed the GOP/Fox News “witch hunt” line.  It could easily have backfired.  Had the House impeached prematurely and the Senate failed to convict, in the end it would have had far worse and longer reaching consequences both for the US and the rest of the world.   It’s not enough for the House to impeach him.   Nancy needs to know the votes will be there in the Senate otherwise it will accomplish nothing except to give more strength to the GOP propaganda bullshit., which would entrench that whole reprehensible party for another decade.
