Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Impeachment Theater

This is an interesting post suggesting that not rushing to impeachment creates drama behind the initial investigations.  The thing about the Mueller report is that it basically confirmed and added a little more information to things we already knew. If we investigate Trump's business dealings and - quelle surprise! - discover that Trump was corrupt as hell...what happens next?  Is it impeachment?  I don't know!

By dragging out the question of whether or not to impeach, you create a countervailing reality show dynamic to ride over Trump's own reality show schtick.
