    Schumer is useless, but the Senate doesn’t impeach.

    And they make it sound like impeachment would work, but anybody with a couple brain cells knows it won’t. He was impeached twice for actual crimes and went on to get elected again, you think impeaching him for threatening language is going to work?

    This is just another story based on tweets.

            I get the frustration but what I would hear is “Let’s waste time doing another failed impeachment that solidifies Trump’s position, makes us look stupid and costs us in the midterms.”

            Trumps defense would be that he has free speech in negotiations and all people would hear for a month is that Democrats are putting free speech on trial, a sentiment Republicans already hold.

              So hold up increasing the debt ceiling until Donald does what we want.

              The tactic republicans use constantly to get their way. Well, assuming democrats don’t want what republicans want.
