yes it is worth the trouble. otherwise we are letting lawlessness and corruption run unchecked.I also want him gone. But I do worry if impeaching him only to have zero Republican senators vote to convict is worth the trouble. Will the trial strengthen his support and make him a martyr and get him a second term?

I agree. It simply has to be done no matter the consequence.yes it is worth the trouble. otherwise we are letting lawlessness and corruption run unchecked.
She has no choice.speaker pelosi has just officially announced that impeachment is proceeding
I found the GOP questions regarding if the witnesses had personal knowledge (or something to that effect) of the president doing wrong to be disingenuous. No one was there yesterday because they were a witness to the wrongdoing by Trump so that question was asked simply to rile up the base and deceive those ignorant of what the proceedings were about.It was pretty telling yesterday that the Dem legal experts all said that Trump's actions were clearly impeachable, and the only argument the GOP expert offered against impeachment was -- sit down for this -- the case doesn't yet have enough evidence to proceed because testimony from the witnesses closest to the events is being obstructed by the White House.
He won't be removed because the modern GOP serves only itself, but it needs to be done.
the current gop (and i would argue this is true going back a while, at least to the days of gingrich) is not capable of acting in good faith.I found the GOP questions regarding if the witnesses had personal knowledge (or something to that effect) of the president doing wrong to be disingenuous.

Really? Good Lord!and on top of all of this, rudy is currently in kiev trying to continue the pressure on them
Really? Good Lord!
Giuliani’s movements, pieced together from news reports and social media posts in Ukraine, show that he’s meeting with a hodgepodge of conspiracists, rank opportunists, and compromised former prosecutors (takes one to know one!).
Among the meetings the former U.S. attorney and New York mayor has taken:
- two former Ukrainian prosecutors who have proffered extensively debunked theories about Ukrainian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and supposed pressure by Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden to block an investigation into the gas company on whose board his son sat.
- current and former members of Ukrainian parliament who have, in some cases, made newly unfounded corruption allegations against Democratic officials in the U.S.
True but watching people I used to respect eating it up without questioning it is even harderTo state the obvious...good grief where is this mess headed? Watching these GOPers smirk and twist the truth is getting harder and harder. Put a camera on them and here they go...
A but late on this. But despite all the evidence. I think they rushed. I'd prefer to have Bolton, Mulvaney, etc testify, to have a public ironclad case for impeachment.
The problem with waiting is that you let them get ever closer to their mythological “Will of the electorate” argument. It took one to one and a half months for their last guy to percolate through the courts and be compelled to testify. Even then there is no guarantee that any of them would actually testify. Odds are most in the direct administration would invoke the 5th.A but late on this. But despite all the evidence. I think they rushed. I'd prefer to have Bolton, Mulvaney, etc testify, to have a public ironclad case for impeachment.
I don't know if it would convince those who are firmly in his camp, or that quid pro quo shouldn't be illegal, but it would certainly make a firmer lefal case.
