The All-Purpose Political Thread

I just read he wikipedia about it. I hadn' been following it. So he thought there was some kind of interference in the 2016 election and Hunter Biden Joe's ne'r do well son was involved or something? THIS is what people think a president should be IMPEACHED for?

No; withholding military funds until an investigation is announced by Ukraine.  He's guilty.  It's not cool.

"Paoletta also argued that it was common practice for the agency to put money on hold after Congress already approved the spending."

I commend you for finally adding something relevant to the discussion.

I guess my question is : What does this impeachment really accomplish?

It opens the door that Trump might get removed from office.  But that seems unlikely.  And if he does stay in office-this impeachment doesn't seem like it limits his power or stops him from running for re-election. 

He'll probably also use it as a campaign theme. Painting himself as a poor, overly criticized and punished  individual while the democrats where too focused on getting him removed instead of working for the people.

the democrats need a new leader. Under Obama they were cool and collected, when they ran Hillary they all turned into vindictive and doomed sort of people like her.

She's Bledsoe, they need Braady

This impeachment will or will not show that we really are a country of checks and balances.
I hate it when somebody is p**sing down my back and say it's raining.
