I support impeaching President Trump.
I'm sure people have reasonable, practical questions about why we should do this when it's difficult to remove him from office any faster than January 20th.
I get that. But here's why I decided it must be done immediately.

I guess Trump & Robert E. Lee both know how it feels to suffer a humiliating defeat at the hands of pro-democracy forces in Pennsylvania.
Trump, in a lengthy statement, decries the removal of Richmond's Robert E. Lee statue, calling it "magnificent."
"If only we had Robert E. Lee to command our troops in Afghanistan... What an embarrassment we are suffering because we don’t have the genius of a Robert E. Lee!"

Right now, Senate GOP probably wouldn't vote to remove him or bar him from holding future office. But the tide is turning, & that could change very quickly if we learn new information.

A motion to move forward on a House-passed bill to establish a Jan 6th Commission has failed to get the 60 votes needed to pass, 54-35.
It was blocked by Republicans, led by Sen McConnell, who are worried the findings of the commission will be used to hurt them politically.
