[Now that the impeachment kabuki has ended, the Senate trial will begin. But before that can proceed, Pelosi will try to squeeze some more preconditions out of McConnell before forwarding the House’s articles of impeachment. The cynical humor of the whole process goes on with Democrats continuing to accuse Republicans of unfairness along every step of the way, paying no never mind to having conducted the most blatantly partisan, unfair, and corrupt congressional circus in Congress’s long history. But the real story is again the ever-widening chasm between what now clearly are two Americas attempting to share the same government and territory while holding diametrically opposite worldviews and objectives. gjr]

But, then, I googled my real name. Tell me more! Best drive by Bill Tozer’s abode in Graniteville and give us all an update. Peep, peep. Roadrunner say, “Here Fuzznardo, hold this bomb with two inches left on the fuse for me. Tanks. Tanks a rocket. Hugs and kisses.

Sorry to tell you Gregory here are the numbers as of this week, The numbers are up to 54%.
“Fox News Poll: 54 Percent of Americans Say Trump Should Be Impeached.
A Fox News poll released Sunday morning found a majority of Americans, 54 percent, said President Donald Trump should be impeached, a vote the House is likely to pass this coming week.
The latest Fox News poll conducted last week found a majority of U.S. adults of all political affiliations say Trump abused his power in office, with 50 percent of Americans saying he should be impeached and removed as president. An additional 4 percent say he should be impeached but not removed from office. Those surveyed rejected the claim touted by Trump and Republicans that U.S. presidents typically ask foreign governments for help in investigating political rivals, with only 22 percent of respondents saying that defense checks out. A similar majority, 52 percent, said the Trump administration has not cooperated enough with the House impeachment inquiry.”

While I have no reason to doubt your passion, the Fox Poll may be an outlier. The last FOX poll proved to be an outlier as polling from four other “respected” polling companies claimed the opposite. Fox was one out of five last time. More importantly, polls taken from the Blue Wall and swing states is where the action is. Electoral college stuff. Time will tell.
But, feel free to grasp at any good news your can muster or scrounge up. The needle has been moving lately contrary to your hopes and dreams. The Clown Car has been a bad joke, the major policies the Lefties have embraced run contrary to the majority of American voters, i.e., unrestricted abortions up to and including infanticide, open borders, Medicaid..er..Medicare for All, student loan forgiveness for the 1/3 of the American adults that went to college and earned a degree (paid for by the 2/3 that did not go to college), elimination of school choice, abolish ICE, a general distain for LE, radical NGD that will upend our economy, reduce/restrict travel and growth, trashing of civil liberties, and the biggie: Political Correctness Run Wild.
But, if a current poll shows most people want Trump removed from office, so be it. A snapshot in time. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Schiff did not cite any legal authority for his actions, which arguably violated the First, Fourth, and Sixth Amendments to the Constitution..”

I was just considering a political rule of thumb…
Any impeachment effort that results in a purely party line vote is probably BS.
re: Paul’s outdated polls from fellow travelers.
I was just working on a theory of that. The Trump haters feel much more strongly about their position than the Trump backers and simply can’t believe that the general population doesn’t average out to their view. It’s a heckuva thing to rule your life, and we’ll probably see a boost in heart disease rates from this era, but it’s sure a lot of fun to watch.
As usual, all that matters is a chunk of swing voters in a few states. Whether the Great State of California wants to have a coronary because of Orange Hitler is besides the point.
The real problem of course is the tiger that is being ridden. The moment that the Blue Mob can seize the reins of power again, which could easily happen of course, you can expect beaucoup payback. A scad of enthusiastically crazy people are running that movement and have lists of enemies and demands aplenty. Imagine a country run by Maxine Waters, AOC, and the Gender Studies Department of Evergreen College.

One man’s opinion (in this point in time and space.
COMING IN 2020: NIGHTMARE YEAR FOR THE LEFT?
The broader reality helping the president, fortifying his position and that of his party, is one of the insufficiently noted stories of 2019. In terms of politics it is the story of 2019, bigger than impeachment. It is that, poised to defeat an unpopular president, the Democratic Party picked itself up—and placed itself outside the mainstream of American politics.
In almost every national public presentation this year, especially in their presidential debates, they branded themselves not as what they had to be—a sophisticated party with a working-class heart—but what they couldn’t be—extreme left-wing progressives.
I have a simple theory for the Democrats’ dramatic lurch to the left: they thought that Donald Trump is so weak and so easily beatable that the 2020 election offered a once-in-a-lifetime chance to go for broke, and run with the most radical platform ever. It looks increasingly to be a suicidal proposition.

The Five Most Hyperbolic Impeachment Moments

Wednesday is of such monumental import, we will all talk about this in the years to come to our children and our grandchildren. We will know where we were the day Congress voted to impeach Donald Trump, members of Congress intoned.
As the day rolled on, comparisons were made to the Salem witch trials, slavery, suffrage, the civil rights movement, World War II, the trial and crucifixion of Jesus — indeed, it seemed there was no rhetoric too over-the-top.“

Story Continued Below
If the trend continues, it represents a major shift in the liberal wing of the judiciary, meaning lawsuits for progressive causes won’t find a friendly ear as easily as they have. The circuit has been the go-to venue for activist state attorneys eager to freeze Trump policies on health care, immigration and other social issues. It ruled against Trump’s weakening of Obamacare’s contraceptive mandate, as well as multiple versions of his travel ban.

“to keach” (intransitive verb) also means to expel fecal matter through the anus into a worn garment followed by continued use of soiled garment— e.g. He keached from spending all afternoon at a cheap Chinese buffet — often in a highly audible way (as in with trailing sound).
