The PRIMARY reason we still haven't begun impeachment hearings...

[orangecrush]

after Mueller testified today?

Can someone tell me what that is?

Because I PRIMARILY believe in donating my money to candidates who support my PRIMARY beliefs as a democrat.

I believe it is PRIME TIME to end the hesitating and mulligan giving to a genuine wannabe dictator.

Some might say we have to accept a compromise with evil, but I find hope when I remember that AOC was elected in what had been for years a PRIMARILY moderate district.

I guess you could say that progressives everywhere are PRIMED for action, not just words!

1. Hard to know Speaker Pelosi's 'primary' reason.

3. I've been hearing all day from corporate media

How today was a "disaster" for democrats.

Then I checked the background of the CNN reporter who wrote the op making that assertion - she is a republican operative who worked on Huckabee's and Santorum's campaigns, among other right wing nuttery.

I believe this is a time for bold action if the democratic party is to survive.

9. Didn't hear that; after hearing,

watching MSNBC.

Yes, bold action by and for the democratic party is necessary.

2. Why not just give your money to one of the Members who supports impeachment?

Simple solution to your "dilemma."

4. That is PRIMARILY correct.

5. Sadly, I don't think we have the votes in our caucus. Swing district congresspeople are scared.

6. They'll lose in a primary !!!

8. I think they will be more scared

if Trump gets reelected due to no one lifting a hand to stop him.

I know I will be.

7. Because there is not 218 votes in the house.

Last count got 90 ish. Until citizens pressure their member of Congress to vote for it, Nancy Pelosi who can count votes really well wont bring it to the floor. Instead they are pursuing it in court, via hearings etc... to get enough support to pass the house.

10. It's not happening because the fix is in.

11. One theory

is that Nancy is reluctant to okay the start of an impeachment inquiry until there is a clear majority (118+) of her caucus behind it (currently at 95). She may be concerned that if enough reps from "red" districts lose their elections next year because of impeachment proceedings demonized by Trumpublicans, then Dems could lose their majority in the House--potentially creating a dangerous dictatorial disaster for the United States and the world. She seemingly wants to be sure all her bases are covered to make sure things don't end up in even worse shape than they are now.
