So we should give them that fight? Keep the hostility going with an impeachment trial that won't solve anything, but put a feather in the DNC's cap? People will still get evicted, lose jobs, and lives to this pandemic? Excuse me, but anything that don't help ease the pain of the American public isn't worth going for at this moment.
A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.
