Wednesday, December 18, 2019 at 8:35 PM marked the moment when the Democratic Party officially succumbed to their far-left base and impeached President Donald J. Trump without providing evidence of a crime. In doing so, they extended a middle finger to American people who want to focus on actual problems and deserve a swift kick into retirement next November as a result.
