If the Democrats play this right, this is the lever that kicks Trump out, and returns the Dems to the party that "supports our troops".

1. Open impeachment hearings.

2. Establish Trump knew and did nothing.

3. Sing about how military service is the greatest service/sacrifice any American can make for their country, and their Commander in Chief took an oath to protect them.

4. Move to impeach.

5. Equate impeachment with being a true, red-blooded, military-loving American, and any other position as support for the Taliban/Russia coalition who KILLS AMERICAN SERVICE MEMBERS.

Republicans know Trump is a sinking ship, and are fast-walking backwards away from him. Fuck, even Pence wore a mask yesterday. They need a token way to distance themselves from his upcoming November disaster, so they still have a career Nov 8th. (AND a leg to stand on as a "friendly compatriot across the aisle" when the House, Senate, and Presidency all go Democrat.)

But the Dems will fuck up any advantage they have. They always have. They always will.
