When the Leftists have lost both The New Republic AND the Atlantic - it's clear they have Jumped the Shark.
The Democrats’ Dangerous Obsession With Impeachment - [i]The party needs to focus on winning elections, not removing Trump. |The New Republic - 12/5/17 liberals are becoming giddy at the prospect of impeaching the president. “Can Democrats finally start talking about impeachment, Nancy Pelosi?” Errol Louis asked in a column for CNN, referring to the House minority leader. On The View, Joy Behar bubbled with delight when she was handed the news, now revealed to be inaccurate, that former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was willing to testify that then-candidate Trump had instructed him to make contact with the Russians.
The impeachment frenzy has gone so far that even the normally sober Ezra Klein, Vox’s founder, argued last week that impeachment be normalized as a regular procedure in American democracy.
The Atlantic had a similar article last week - Both are saying the same thing - it's NOT enough to Impeach a President because you don't like him.
There will be presidents who are neither criminals nor mental incompetents but who are wrong for the role, who pose a danger to the country and the world.... Being extremely bad at the job of president of the United States should be enough to get you fired.”
While it is true that Trump is “extremely bad at the job of president,” using that as grounds for removing him from office would be revolutionary, moving the criteria from the constitutional requirement of “high crimes and misdemeanors,” which is already vague, to the utterly nebulous and subjective “extremely bad.” Klein recognized that normalizing impeachment would turn it into a political weapon
The impeachment enthusiasts should pull back. For both practical and political reasons, this is the wrong remedy for the Trump presidency, even if we stipulate that he has been “extremely bad” and has committed “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
There is a school of thought that has always said - "When your opponent is dead set on Digging a Hole that will bury them ...... get out of the way and let them do it".
That is what we have been witness to for over a year now - the Left is in a Total Hysterical Meltdown that get's worse by the day ...... for them. And the Hysteria continues. Thinkers on the Left are getting very concerned, but it's probably too late - hard to stuff that Hysteria back in the Toothpaste Tube.
Joe and Mika had a segment today on their show about how the Trump Family was going to "spend the rest of their lives in Prison".
These are Bat Guano Nutters and none of them see it. Never in my lifetime have I ever seen anything like it.

OK ....... I guess the Left is in agreement that "we don't like him" is perfect grounds for Impeachment.
It won't fly and will only the make the Leftists appear more Nutty than usual ..... but that "let them dig until they bury themselves" axiom is firmly in place.
The left? You mean the leftist that appointed Muller, or the people who control both the house and senate that have investigations going, or is the leftist Muller who was twice appointed by Republicans?
The Lefts actions are the actions of a Banana Republic where laws and agencies of government are abused to overturn elections and keep the corrupt in power. I guess when you bring in millions upon millions from a Banana Republic you become a Banana Republic which the USA is in serious danger of becoming.

Which leftists? The Republican Muller, the Trump appointee that appointed Muller, or the Republican controlled house and senate that are running investigations?

I believe your question is confusing the children, shocking isn't it.

Sessions appointed Muller? Wow, where'd you find that nugget as that's not what I'd heard...
