Agree. The fact that
anyone with half a brain gives fuel to the "Trump derangement" theme is an absolute travesty. People just don't like him so they are acting irrationally when it comes to him? GTFOH. Everything he's done (and Less' ridiculous carveouts should be completely ignored) has been an outright lie, self-serving, corrupt, objectively stupid, criminal, racist, sexist, irrationally xenophobic, spiteful, lazy, and/or completely ignorant.
Everyone he's come into contact with in his campaign and Administration either leaves in frustration, is in jail, criticizes or laughs at him, or gets fired for not swearing fealty. When I point all of this out--none of which is the slightest bit controversial--
I'm deranged? FOH.

I am not arguing about who is first to be the asshole. I'm stating that this impeachment is not the product of some lower standard set by Gingrich. If ever there were an impeachment that was righteous, this is it.
And even if it weren't--even if Trump were being subjected to an impeachment over how he chews gum--that would not be the impetus for Republicans acting like complete fucking trash and investigating bullshit and pretending to investigate made up bullshit going forward. That's who they are no matter what is happening right now.
