Why Democrats Should Heed the Warnings of Nancy Pelosi

“He’s goading us to impeach him,” She warned.

She’s right. In fact, Nancy Pelosi has been involved in a world dominated by outrageous male ego long enough to know the tricks they keep up their cuff linked sleeves.

In a time that was even close to normal, where co-equal branches of government were interested in service to the people rather than themselves, impeachment would be a reasonable consequence. Sadly, that’s not where we are. Not even remotely. Were so far adrift that the island of normalcy is no longer in sight when it comes to the vast expanse and deeply chaotic seas of politics.

Donald Trump has built his wall. Indeed, an impenetrable one around himself that is composed of controversial Supreme Court Judges he appointed, Republican Senators that he campaigned aggressively to seat so they might obstruct any pursuit of accountability. His radicalized base would riot, further widening the chasm that is dividing America.

One of Trump’s greatest protectors, or, one of the bricks in his wall, is Mitch McConnell, who dubbed himself “The Grim Reaper” and vowed to kill any legislation from Democrats that found its way to the Senate floor, especially if it involved investigating the President.
