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.

The First Stone Turns

Justin Amash is a standard Tea Party retrograde, but he's right about impeachment hearings for Trump.  Pelosi is catching ungodly shit on Twitter for not starting impeachment hearings, but this strikes me as one of the things Pelosi was waiting for.  First, you get a few Republicans to support the process. Second, you have Trump's minions disregarding lawful subpoenas.  I don't know if Pelosi really doesn't want to impeach or is waiting for the "more in sadness than in anger" moment, but the latter is rapidly approaching.
