Mass Insanity -- Really

If you read today's news, you will find a host of reports about how the Democrats in the House are moving towards the impeachment of President Trump over his conversation with the president of Ukraine.  It's insane.  I mean that literally; it's totally insane.

Think about it.

We don't know what the President told the Ukrainian leader.  Neither do the folks in Congress.

We don't know what else, if anything, Trump did regarding Ukraine.  Neither do the Democrats in Congress.

We don't know why the Ukrainians fired a state prosecutor who was investigating a company that happened to have Joe Biden's son as a director.  We do know, though, that Biden, while he was vice president, told the then president of Ukraine that if the prosecutor wasn't fired immediately, Biden would cancel one billion dollars of US aid to Ukraine.  It certainly looks like Biden was using US aid to help his son and the company his son worked for.

We also know that Biden's son was discharged from the military for cocaine use and not all that long afterwards got hired as a director of a company owned by an extremely rich Ukrainian oligarch.  Hunter Biden got paid between $50,000 and $60,000 per month to be a director of that company, and Hunter Biden had no training or experience to qualify him for that job.  All he had was his father's position.  This was the company that was being investigated by the prosecutor fired at Joe Biden's behest.

Even so, the Dems are rushing towards impeachment.  On what basis, you may ask.

They know that the media reports that there is a supposed whistleblower who wrote a complaint about what the President said to the leader of Ukraine on a phone call.  We also know that the so called whistleblower is a long time Democrat operative.  And we can add in that we know that the whistleblower didn't hear the phone call or see the transcript of it.  He's operating on the basis of what someone else (identity unknown) supposedly told him.  Basically, that's it.

How could rational people move to impeachment on the basis of media reports describing a complaint no one has seen particularly since the complain was written by someone with suspect motives who also has no first hand knowledge of the actual events?

It truly is insane.
