Exactly. By doing nothing, the democrats are setting a precedent for Trump to feel he's free to just do whatever he wants WHEN he wants with zero consequences. It's not right.
I know Pelosi and some of the others think donald is goading them into doing so, and I think they're right--but that's irrelevant now. Donald likes to goad people. It's what he does. It's when people call his bluff that he freaks out and loses his sh!t.
I'm thinking donald is trying to put dems in a position where they look foolish and powerless while trying to send his own immature message of how he "can't be stopped" by them. I think he would freak the hell out if they actually pursued the impeachment proceedings. For god's sake--the man freaked out at the very prospect of answering Mueller's questions in even written form.
At this point we're stuck. If he's not impeached then he will feel emboldened to continue "pushing the envelope" to see just how far he can go unchecked. The impeachment will, at the very least, show that actions have consequences regardless of whether anything actually comes of the impeachment or not.
I'm sure it won't. I'm sure the a$$hole will come out of it, unscathed, but the message will be sent and that message is: Donald Trump isn't unanswerable for his actions. That will send the message as well as make donald a bit more paranoid. Bottom line--it has to be done. It might be the only way to stop donald's apparent rise to dictatorship.
