At 5:00 this afternoon, Nancy Pelosi announced that the House would start impeachment proceedings regarding President Trump. Pelosi and House Democrats didn't wait to find out the facts regarding Trump's communications with the president of Ukraine. Instead, they are acting on the basis of news reports about supposed pressure by Trump on the Ukrainian leader to investigate Joe Biden. It doesn't matter that the president of Ukraine now says he was not pressured in any way. Nor does it matter that President Trump says he didn't pressure the Ukrainian. Indeed, the transcript of the conversation is about to be released, something should make clear exactly what happened, but the Democrats can't wait for that.
About a week ago, there was a frenzy about the Democrats starting impeachment proceedings against Justice Kavanaugh of the Supreme Court. That frenzy disappeared when the word got out that the supposed "victim" of Justice Kavanaugh didn't remember any untoward or improper action by Kavanaugh. It was just another of those bogus bits of Fake News.
When the transcript of the Trump phone conversation is released tomorrow, we will see if there is any basis at all to the new impeachment push.
It's worth noting what the public thinks of all this. In that regard, I would point to two different things. First, after the announcement from Pelosi, the futures for the stock market stayed steady and then climbed up by something less than 0.2%. That's the equivalent of a yawn from the market. It means that investors don't expect anything to come from all the drama that the Democrats are generating.
Second, there was an online poll taken by the Drudge Report. About a quarter of a million votes have been cast, and as of now only 5% of those responding think that the President will be impeached and removed from office.
The short answer is no one seems to care about the nonsense that the Dems are using as the basis for their impeachment hysteria.
Hopefully, this nonsense is going to lead to a major backlash against the Dems in 2020.
