What if they had an impeachment, and no one noticed? I think that's what they're trying to do. Seriously.. NO ONE in my professional or personal circles is talking about this "Impeachment". I'm old enough to have lived through the two modern era impeachments: Nixon and Clinton. For both of those, that's ALL people talked about, for months. It was huge news. Today? NADA.
I have several liberal friends. Now, granted... after the turmoil of the past two years, we've more or less declared a "truce", and opted to not speak much about politics. But, we've always kept on making little snide remarks now and then. Like, when I slurred my words, I'd say, "Oh... I just pulled a Biden". Or, they'd make a quip about a pumpkin being "as orange as Trump's hair". But now? NOTHING!
I haven't heard the word "impeachment" spoken by ANYONE not on TV or radio. Not one. It's one big nothingburger.
Yes, from early 1973 until Nixon's resignation, that was the big news story (with occasional interruptions like for the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, also known as the Yom Kippur War). Sam Ervin's TV hearings got a lot of viewers.
Art Buchwald had a column during that time which wondered, "what did people talk about before Watergate?"
I'm seeing the same thing - off and on the internet. This House skullduggery reeks and everybody knows it. I keep seeing posts around here that they're going through all this to "fire up" their "rabid base" for the elections - well that's been a colossal FAIL if that's the case, have seen no evidence in support of that. None. Matter of fact people have been recoiling from it. People are fundamentally uneasy with Soviet-style secret committee BS, gives them the creepies. Add to that the DemCom presidential candidate field is a mess - I've seen no enthusiasm or excitement to speak of. Not a great time to be a lefty right now.
