I used to think so, too, but not anymore. Let’s pay the cost — political, economical, psychological — knowing the senate won’t convict and the Supreme Court would probably rule in Trump’s favor (if proceedings went that far on any related issues).

Let’s pay and put it on the record that Trump’s actions were challenged with impeachment.

I’m willing to pay and now feel obligated to do so.

That said, I don’t think it’s likely he’ll be impeached again, but I’d support it if he was.

Want to have a government free ( for the most part ) of accusations of sexual assault by leaders....elect women.

I never heard the faintest rumour of Indira Gandhi or Golda Meir sexually assaulting anyone.

Think of the possible negative repercussions at the point though. A second attempt at impeachment could have serious fallout on Democrats from the middle. While most have already decided who they will vote for or at least not vote for there is still a healthy group of middle ground voters who have not. A second impeachment trial will look more like Dems are just out for blood. If I thought there was a chance of it succeeding I would be all for it myself. This close to an election then it should be held until after elections just in case the joker somehow pulls it off again.

Aside from that a few key Senate seats are on the ballot this year that could change the majority increasing the odds of an impeachment being successful.

Sorry, I had to step away for a few minutes to try to put in a broker's order to beat out all those Trump cabinet members buying up all the shares of the Remdesivir maker (Gilead?)
