I have no hope so far but I hope things will change in favour. This is long overdue since the day he got elected.

I consider myself Liberal but this is ridiculous, too early for impeachment. Just because you don't like the President, doesn't mean you have to remove him from office, this is a Democracy, pick a better candidate in 2020. Fight for Single Payer, criminal justice reform, improving schools, climate change, minimum wage, ect. not something that just makes you look ridiculous and makes Trump voters even less inclined to vote Democrat..

Let's see if something happens. I doubt it will, but I won't lose hope

Apparently he just voted to make ivory trade legal again?

Its not to early in my opinion, with campaign advisers dropping faster than Swity stans reputation, his multiple sexual abuse accusations, trump university, His own son communicating directly with wiki leaks.. Wiki leaks actually disturbs be greatly. We have a President whos son has had direct communication with an organization that is famous for providing classified material to the public. Um is that not throwing a red flag up for anyone?

the comey firing has to be reviewed by lawyers because i believe an intent to obstruct justice has to be proven. if they can prove that he intended to obstruct justice then i think impeachment is the right way to go. first and foremost i think democrats should wait until after the investigation is over. because things aren't going to look good for them if they do all of these impeachment proceedings and then the investigation turns out nothing but the few arrests we've seen already. 

edit:

the reason it isn't going to look good is because trump's argument of all this being a witch hunt will become true in the perspective of some voters, despite the fact that collusion with russia and the fact that russia meddled in the 2016 election should be treated separately

...and then what, we're stuck with the even more repulsive Mike Pence? That man's bat shi* crazy! Beyond that, I'm not sure the Democratic party should be focusing their energies on something that's unlikely to go in their favor.

Its not about "not liking him", most people didnt like Hillary either and yet she got 3 million votes more than trump because they valued her brains, not her likeability.

I do agree that they should hold on to this just a little longer, at least until we have more solid evidence of his crimes.

They are impeaching him for obstructing justice, where have you been?

So then Pence would be president right?

I comeptlely agree, run a real progressive (like Elizabeth Warren) in 2020 and you can win.

I think we're better off with Trump than Pence.

Sort of. Game trophy sale which was banned by Obama. Coincidentally enough his asshole sons have hunted elephants before.
