    Pearl-clutching about profanity and mean words is obviously ridiculous; deeper issue is whether Democrats latch onto wild, scattershot impeachment rhetoric to satisfy some base emotional need

        They do. They couldn't ever possibly concede that losing to Trump was their fault. So they have climbed aboard the impeachment lifeboat. It's sad, very sad.

        Turning politics into a perpetual "show me the man and I'll find the crime" pursuit of removing opponents from office is a precedent no one should be eagerly setting

        A Constitutional clause that has never been interpreted? You think that's going to bring Trump down? If the courts decide he's violating the clause they'll simply order him to stop. That's it.

        It’s not ridiculous “pearl clutching”. Everything in our culture doesn’t need to be reduced to a trailer-park shouting match over a used TV. Statesmanship matters. Class matters, and there’s a ripple effect. This applies to both parties and all “leaders”.

        The use of profanity is calculated to rile up the most radical of her base. Hence it is important. She did not use the opportunity to talk about something more productive or even something she really cares about. She is copying Maxine Waters.

        There are like thousands of valid, legal reasons to impeach him. Just pick the most ironclad and compelling. He's a terrible, harmful, dangerous president who's implicated in a lot of serious crimes. There isn't anything inherently "wild" or "scattershot" in impeachment rhetoric.

        Is the impeachment line the second half of the Russia play, and if so was the holiday break the intermission? As I hope so as its turning out to be a long play.

        I might tend to have a zoomed out perspective, idk? Can you blame me for feeling that corners of Left (often ppl most pissed abt politics in ‘16) are no longer most oppositional to capital & ruling class, but liberalism / democracy & eroding resistance to the former under Trump?

        Still wild to me that "we have to wait for Robert Mueller to give us a reason to impeach the racist, openly corrupt, groping president who doesn't know anything and lies all the time" is the mainstream position of the Democratic Party.

        Nothing to do with a base emotional need. Its a distraction. This is what dems do every single time. They pick a wall to walk into repeatedly, accomplishing nothing, until people quit paying attention. Then when people aren't paying attention, they sneak paygo through.

        Well, it's hard not to get pissed off when you keep gaslighting about how we're all "just emotional" instead of acknowledging it's possible to be legitimately concerned about the state of our country and the integrity of our elected officials.

        I don't think it's wrong to be somewhat shocked and extremely disappointed by this low class behavior. And yes, I hate it when Trump resorts to stupid comments.
