"Democrats haven't impeached Trump. Instead, they've impeached impeachment."

Oregon Muse writes this morning in his Morning Rant column in the Ace of Spades blog,
"As I ranted on Monday, with Pelosi walking around in an impeachment skin and demanding respect, she doesn't seem to know (or care) that her fellow Democrats haven't impeached Trump. Instead, they've impeached impeachment.
"The Democrats have completely diluted 'impeachment' down to nothing. It's not going to be Trump's presidency that has an asterisk, it will be impeachment itself.

"Remember this, next time they try to pretend they were “prayerfully” or “reluctantly” impeaching Donald Trump. They weren’t.

"It's just like the Iran deal. There was never any deal. There was no vote in the Senate, no treaty produced, Iran didn't sign anything. It was just the Obama administration trying to appease the crazed mullahs. They wanted an agreement with the force of a treaty even though one was never signed. Because that requires hard work and a Senate vote.

"Just like an actual impeachment trial requires actual crimes, actual evidence, and actual witnesses, none of which the Democrats actually have. With this trifecta of suck the only thing they've got going for them, their strategy appears to be simply demanding that the impeachment be settled by a summary judgment and a complete restoration of the status quo ante, i.e. Trump gone, and a return to the unquestioned comfortable corruption, incompetence without consequence, and inexorable march toward some sort of shabby socialism and a diminished America where prices are high, gains are low, and Jim Acosta is taken seriously as a journalist."
