What's this?

The bit of truth is that there an extreme portion of the population ...

who wanted Trump gone in his first month of office. Like most extremists, they are dangerous. Impeachment is never good for the country. It should be the last course of action against the executive branch. However, to imply there is some sort systematic conspiracy by Taibbi is click bait. He's a moron.

Trump did this to himself. The idiot can't help himself. His abuse of power is blatant and dangerous. I passed on impeachment when he threw our intelligence community under the bus for Putin; gave a pass to white supremacists in Charlottesville; borderline racist rhetoric; paid off a porn star; refused to show his taxes; even common sense obstruction concerns during the Mueller Report; his disinfirmation campaign against our institutions; etc. HOWEVER, enough is enough. You can't use the government and taxpayer money to find dirt on a political rival ... especially for a future election. Free and fair elections are the basic fundamentals of our democracy. Trump needs to go. Let's hope the Senate has a spine.

Impeachment is literally in the Constituion. It's not a Coup. It's part of the Check and Balances that Hamilton gave Congress to stop exactly what Trump did when our nation was founded. To stop foreign countries from influencing our fee elections ... and placing their people in the executive branch.
