How about insisting the Senate do its damn job and throw this traitor out of office?

A) That's not its job. Its job is to have a trial.
B) Which is hard to do when Pelosi won't send the articles of impeachment over until she gets the rules she wants.
C) There's fuck-all for evidence of anything even impeachable (hearsay ain't evidence), so the Senate may very well drop that turd to the ground with only one motion.
D) What in the world makes you think Congress gives a shit about doing its job to begin with?
It's political theater with no substance whatsoever. Peach cobbler with a bit of ice cream, however, is delicious and worth my attention.

1 - you don't acknowledge Trump's crimes which are now proven
2 - "It's political theater with no substance whatsoever." is incorrect, impeachment for crimes is the duty of congress
3 - no point discussing further because of #1, denial of reality

Someone needs to state this clearly for you.
Trump is a shitty character. He ain't exactly right in the head. But, that ain't impeachable. The liberal house has been hysterical ever since Hillary lost. Hysteria is permitted I guess, there's no law against it. But, hysteria isn't evidence of anything, either.
These "impeachment" processes being broadcast around the country have been complete and utter bullshit. An hysterical crowd invites sympathetic "witnesses" to badmouth Trump for them, everyone has an orgasm, and the hysterical crowd knows that they have moved one step closer to impeachment and conviction.
There is no strong evidence of impeachable offenses. There is a lot of evidence that the house is an echo chamber populated by hysterical old women.
Don't pin your hopes on the results of this impeachment farce.

"Trump is a shitty character. He ain't exactly right in the head. But, that ain't impeachable."
No one is trying to impeach him over general incompetence, though if he were a Democrat that sure as hell would be one of your talking points.

Incompetence. Which of our past presidents would you consider competent? Start with Washington, and go through the list, please. If you actually look at each and every man who held the office, if you search for and find the talking points of his detractors, then check the facts surrounding those talking points, you may well be surprised.
During the past election, Hillary and company talked a lot about "presidential". Not many of our presidents WERE "presidential". That is, if you ever got past the myriad of people running interference, if you got past the dressed up public display facade that each of them projected, each of them had his character flaws.
As presidents go, Trump isn't so very bad. He's bad, but he still ranks a fair bit above Grant.
But, you go ahead and dig into the characters of past presidents, then you compare Trump to all of them. Even Washington and Lincoln. Even Eisenhower. Maybe one day, I'll make my own list of presidents, ranked in order of relative strengths and weaknesses. I insist that Trump is not the bottom of the barrel.
What pisses so many of you off so terribly, is that the first woman you offered to hold the office most definitely WOULD HAVE BEEN the bottom of the barrel.
I don't think that any of the D offerings this time around are as bad as Clinton, but you're not offering anything markedly better than Trump. And, THAT is what ensures another win for Trump. The only way he is leaving office before 2024 is through death or incapacitation. You guys aren't unseating him.

Now there is still the possibility they'll let it run throughout the campaign season. It's not harming Trump, he might have a use for a substanceless smoke screen, and there's zero chance of him being removed from office with a Republican Senate. No, it's really not harming him. His approval ratings are in fact higher than Obama's were at this point in his first term. They're also up from when Pelosi decided to play to the radicals and push impeachment regardless of the facts. Nobody who cares about the truth above politics thinks anything about it but that the Dems are throwing an unfounded hissy fit.

We have the memo, ahem, sorry, TrAnSCrIpT! Even that redacted attempt at damage control still proved what happened. Trump admitted to it. His obstruction of justice actions are public record.
Only morons like you think Trump got impeached just because liberals don't like him. Pathetic attempt, but hey a whole gaggle of Republicans made a big show of their personal outrage. The irony in how you conservatives complain about something and then go and do exactly that, is just, special.

You are full of it. Without a recording, the "transcript" is a fraud. You people have proven nothing out of the ordinary. You are simply trying to put all your dirty little secrets back into the bottle and return us back to "normalcy".

No, they are not. And this is why you fail to convince anybody outside your tribe, and a lot of people on the inside also. The sham is too obvious, but it is still most effective in keeping people attached to the story line and so perfectly bisected right down to a tenth of a percent. This is a classic cheap 1950s disaster movie, with everybody bickering as the ship is about to dive right off the edge of the planet.
