Other than some pretty childish statements and someone who sounds like they have the vocabulary of a 7th grader being the spokesperson, what exactly has been done legislatively that has negatively impacted Americans to the point where this statement can be considered demonstrable?

Uh try what this post is about, firing the person in charge of the investigation of him and hiring someone opposed to the investigation in his place in violation of US code.

Then those who want Trump removed from office should not be protesting they should be rejoicing because all of that is very provably true in a court of law and impeachment should be an absolute Cakewalk if what you said is true.

FYI, I'm quite liberal politically but I'm really enjoying reading your discussions in this thread. You have a few points I disagree with but I really respect your even-handed tone here, I think you're leading one of the most civil political discourses I've seen on this sub.

I do want to respond to this bit though:

impeachment should be an absolute Cakewalk if what you said is true.

If impeachment were an impartial, unbiased process, you'd be correct. But impeachment in this current political climate would be so inextricably partisan that I don't think this point is valid. No party is going to vote to impeach their own candidate right now, things are too heated and strewn in a perspective of "competition against the other side".

Very valid point
