So what? Even if your mountain of innuendo is true, we both know this is an election ploy, and there is no way I or any other sane person would vote for any democrat based on this stuff. Schiff is just a modern Ahab whose white whale is Trump. Frankly, after three years of lies, hypocrisy, and name calling, I am very, very tired of the Democrat hysteria.

I would like Schiff, Nadler, and other leading Democrats go back to their constituents and tell tell them what they did for them OTHER than than try to impeach Trump. Of course, THEIR constituents might be satisfied with nothing but an inane and unrelenting witch hunt.

You don't care if the POTUS used his office solely, and explicitly, to pressure a foreign government to produce a result that only benefits the POTUS personally? The accusations, which have support now, are that Trump was not acting in the interests of the US to try and push Ukraine to investigate corruption as a whole, but rather generate some news stories that would hurt Biden.

And to you last point - there are a lot of bills that have been passed by the House that are sitting on McConnell's desk. The House is even working on passing marijuana decriminalization right now, which is a pretty big deal.
