      1. Matt brings up an important point here, which is that the ancien regime establishment (centrist Dems, Never Trump Republicans) is using Ukrainegate to shore up their positions.https://twitter.com/karpmj/status/1176913257296257024 …

      Jeet Heer added,

      Matt Karp  🌹 🦏 🇺🇸 @karpmj
      Just in structural terms, the politics of impeachment bend — almost inevitably — toward an alliance between official progressives and Never Trump elites. I hope you all are ready for this

      2. Any Trump scandal, including Ukrainegate, can be framed in two radically different ways: Trump is bad because he's an aberration (the centrist view) or Trump is bad because he's taken the vices of the existing system to their absurd end (the left view).

          3. The impeachment push feeds on energy that goes beyond establishment concerns about Trump's heterodoxy. Tlaib's war-cry "We're going to impeach this motherfucker!"appeals to popular discontent, not establishment desire to restore the status quo ante.

          It can be framed either way, but only the latter is right.

          I didn't want the left to be right about this but it's clear to me that they are.

          Does a long, more in-depth impeachment help show the absolute craven nature of Republicans backing him or solidify the view that Trump is a sui generis puppet master?

          1)Interesting point, yet the left view just about justifies the GOP voters who accept Trump, knowing all his faults. If Trump isn't singularly bad/evil/unacceptable, but merely the ultimate player/politician, who are we who voted for HRC, knowing her faults, to judge?

          "Who are we"? The question is irrelevant because, whatever HRC's many faults (taking Dem votes for granted, running shitty campaign, etc.), isn't even in the same sport as Trump, much less in same ballpark, and both-siding that comparison is dishonest.
