      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.

          This is all really stupid once you realize Ukraine bloodies up Trump and Biden and helps Warren. There's a reason she pivoted to corruption. It's helping the left but whatever.

          Reductionistic argument as if there are no greys. Why can't I have both 'popular discontent' *and* a desire to 'restore status quo?' What about protecting democratic institutions? Can't that be *both* a form of 'popular discontent' AND a desire to return to the 'status quo?'

          The problem in unleashing powers of popular discontent is mobilizing the same powers on the other side and making this emotional and unruly. I do not think we need a Revolution when we have a legal and political framework for work with.

          They gave up the legal framework when they waged a war against clinton. Now we can always say if it isnt fair to do it to rapists and murderers it wasnt fair to do it to clinton either

          Is it possible that a nation of freedom loving people prefer ethical leadership instead of a corrupted guy with a mob-boss mentality who tells lie after lie?
