Martin Longman makes an important point (of course). Trump's rash decision to move the embassy to Jerusalem is going to get people killed. Israelis and Palestinians will die, as the violence has already started. But Americans will die, too. My family is considering a trip to Europe this summer, and I've wondered what our reception would be as Americans. And then there's North Korea.
Trump is a dangerous, unbalanced man. He is mentally and cognitively impaired; he will never grow into the job. He's a compulsive liar. He's a dangerous narcissist and sexual predator.
So the idea that it's "too soon" to talk impeachment seems dangerously complacent. Obviously, it is beyond unlikely that Trump will be impeached or removed from power, especially with the current Congress. Even if Democrats capture the House and have the votes to impeach, it will be impossible to convict in the Senate without Republican votes. That doesn't absolve Congress from their responsibility.
Republicans have already demonstrated that they won't do a damned thing to hold Trump accountable. At some point, Democrats need to go to the barricades. They need to stop pretending that this is a normal difference of opinion. This fecking lunatic will get millions killed, and anyone who doesn't work now to make it plain that he doesn't represent them should be held complicit.
