To impeach, or not to impeach

Similarly, it's Trump's last year.  So why are the Democrats making waves?  And the waves they're making might turn our country into the Titanic.

On Trump, the issue is really the future, not Mafia Don himself.  There is a minimal level of decorum, cognizance, empathy, ethics and morality, and simple competence that's a baseline requirement for the job.  Mafia Don fails on every level.  That needs to be a line in the sand for future autocrats-in-training who may apply for the job.

So it's impeachment by default.
