Jeffries: Trump impeachment not a priority if Dems win House

A potentially historic third impeachment of Donald Trump will not be a "top priority" should the Democrats regain control of the House of Representatives in the midterm elections, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has said. "I've made clear from the very beginning that our top priority is going to be to drive down the high cost of living," Jeffries told Fox News during an interview Sunday.

If it's possible to get rid of Hitler, get rid of Hitler.

But yes, and by all means, bring down prices so another Hitler can't use that as an excuse again.

But maybe get rid of Hitler first so Hitler can't take credit for your hard work.

Justice must be the priority of any person, agency, or organization.

"Well, we're not going to investigate mobster John Gotti because he keeps the neighborhood safe ana pays for fireworks every Fourth of July."

or

"What good will investigating Father Giuseppe do? So, he fiddle-faddled with some boys years ago. This priest fills the pews every Sunday. That's what the church needs. Full pews."

or

"You see, ICE doesn't need to be abolished, just reformed. They have have an important national security function of being able to deport undesirables without seeing an Immigration Judge. I proposed legislation requiring ICE thugs can't wear masks."

Hakeem Jeffries admitted to be an agent of the status quo, not an agent of progress for the American people.

Everybody on the planet knew this already.

This is what happens when you market test your ideas in the wrong market.

The only clear path Democrats have to victory is to make good on Trump's promises to release the Epstein Files.

The other thing Democrats should do is support for Free National Voter ID, which would force Republicans to oppose Free National Voter ID, something Republicans already oppose, but nobody ever forces them to explain why.

This is an oddity. At a dinner party on Saturday I brought this issue up and none of the Republicans could articulate why this is a problem, though there were no Democrats able to articulate a reason either.

Because Democrats don't seem to like it either?

"There are only three problems with a national ID: Republicans hate it, Libertarians hate it, and Democrats hate it," says Kathleen Unger, the founder of VoteRiders, an organization devoted to helping people obtain ID.

Rather old but will the ACLU change its mind? This is in regard to the 9/11 Commission report.

"We all want a country that is as safe as possible," said Marvin Johnson, an ACLU Legislative Counsel. "But 'Big Brother' provisions such as a national ID card would only serve to restrict our freedoms and invade our privacy and do nothing to ensure our security."

Regarding the topic, this is just "dust" its obfuscation, just look at what Spanberger did, campaigned in the middle, went CRAZY with taxation on NEW taxes on electric landscaping equipment.
