22. 3/4 of Democrats now favor impeachment AT SOME POINT.

FINALLY! It took years to get to this point, some drops and rises along the way, but hardly a wow. That is ONLY 76% of Democrats.

On the plus side, there's no time limit to that 76%. No subversive impeach now or else. On the negative side, why isn't it damned near 100%?

Democrats didn't want to hear it last year. The blue wave was created by pretending the big issues were the kind of things they should be, not massive corruption and treason abetted by Russia that threaten to destroy our republic. Massive denial, but at least they are not the evil agents trying to maneuver us to defeat before we can take them out.

Btw, support for impeachment overall is now all the way up to 46%, after a drop to 43%, after a high of 47% last fall.

You believe Barr? emmaverybo Jun 2019 #51
Strange to see people citing a promise Barr made as support for anything, isn't it? StarfishSaver Jun 2019 #60
Barr didn't promise to release grand jury material to Congress. He doesn't have the legal authority StarfishSaver Jun 2019 #59

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the "voices" shouting impeach now are trolls. Nuggets Jun 2019 #14
True enough... but the better argument is that there won't be two different impeachments FBaggins Jun 2019 #16
