More Weight in the Impeachment Ring

Since 2016 there has been talk of impeachment. Donald Trump was still an independent candidate when signs began to show that made some watchers wary of any eventual win for political office . . . much less on the greatest level.

That was preliminary, and certainly indicative of how difficult (or impossible) it could be for media-- public or not-- to tactfully guide the new-style experience. The presidential race of 2016 had a different appearance than we've become accustomed to witnessing, born of several factors we'll look into as we go along here at Independent Voter. One aspect of this change had been occurring long before 2016, and had nothing to do with Trump. Our notions of political correctness, free speech and how we should relate to one another essentially fell apart during a trying economic recession.

Still . . . talk of impeachment


The serious low rumbling has been heard almost since POTUS took office. There was an immediate swoop on our healthcare security (although simultaneous relief of a new financial burden). There was the go-ahead on Dakota. There is too much interest in dismantling federal regulations regarding domestic manufacturing, and-- of course-- the bear-down on undocumented immigrants. These are only a few of the actions taken from his new position since winning his bid for our highest office. There's the matter of his Twitter communications. He is a person, after all. Isn't that the gist? Twitter is his way of 'getting the truth out', or some similar purpose statement. Correct us if we're wrong on that one.

There have been all these developments and more. There are "crimes and misdemeanor" lists! Ultimately, the latest Russia developments have some House Democrats tweeting about the possibility of impeachment. Impeachment talks are falling off fingers at an accelerated rate and it's not unusual to hear reactionary statements that include the word "impeachment". Maybe there's something to it.
