Impeachment means infamy,right?

Donald Trump doesn't seem to feel shame as long as whatever it is gains him fame. The trivial impeachment of Bill Clinton probably enhanced his place in American History. The latter being able to leave office on his own while having a booming economy, despite a hostile congress.
I'm not here to judge Clinton, but the Lewinsky scandal was something bizarre considering Kennedy had an affair with Monroe... so Clinton definitely cheapened the presidency.
So far, the matter regarding Ukraine certainly seems to be a bust as much as Russia was a bust.
The advocates for impeaching Trump aren't going to lose him any votes. Seriously, they're all disgustingly corrupt, deranged or vile compared to those who went after Clinton. They're feeding derangement. All one needs to do is put together truthful dossiers of each of them to highlight minor aspects of their lives that be construed as being the antithesis of what they claim to represent.
For example: Elizabeth Warren made a small fortune buying and flipping foreclosed homes. Kamala Harris put petty criminals behind bars. Mayor Pete has a corrupt police force.
Bigotry exists. I was open-minded towards Obamas until I was made aware of their hospital connection. Given my background, I find hospitals to be very corrupt institutions. Going negative won't win votes, but it will poison the well for those you attack if you hit upon a single issue that strikes someone in a way that cannot be overlooked.
Trump is a very shrewd politician. His attack style is a subtle rope-a-dope. Sure he punches those that don't directly punch him, but he tends to egg on and let those attacking him to choke on their own words until their initial message gets lost in the weeds.
Trump's failed campaign promises can be dismissed if he's impeached trying to fulfill them.
There's a whole year+ until the 2020 election, so a lot can be done between now and then... the Access Hollywood tape leaked too early for the faux outrage waned before election day.
HRC chimed in regarding the impeachment... she must feel free to do so since she survived scrutiny of the supposed "quid-pro-Joe" relating to the Clinton Foundation along with the fallout of the Benghazi timeline.
Notice the Bushes and Obamas have been quiet regarding the recent "scandal?" Are they avoiding the spotlight?

Franken/Stein 2020

Disgraced "comedian" Al Franken is back?
Given the re-emergence of eco-warriors need to make their cause seem dire, and the fact that current DEMOCRAT leadership cares more about impeaching a sitting president, I don't see Franken's return to "airwaves" as insignificant.
If you read anything about AF of late, you know he is/was very bitter about being forced to leave the Senate for groping women as a comedic figure.
He cannot return to the party. There's no place for him when you consider those running for POTUS are primarily former Senate colleagues who at best washed their hands of him.
The logical place for him to end up is in the GREEN PARTY, though Jill Stein will probably be a 3 time loser for the party but has name recognition from the Russia inquiry and such... thus her logical place would be VP, just as Weld thinks he can be POTUS for "never trump" republicans after failing as Libertarian VP candidate.
Joe Biden is toast. Warren and Sanders are anti-science...according to Booker, but Booker is running out of money. Booker probably just trying to get scared people to donate to him.
Warren and Sanders scare people like Howard of Starbucks.
Franken being from a state that Trump could potentially win would be enough reason to thumb his nose at everyone and get Trump re-elected.
I think the Franken/Stein ticket would be cool to see.

I actually support "nanny state," sometimes.

Bicycles sharing the roads with cars should mean bicycles having same rules as cars, or at least motorcycles.
I usually don't agree with the mayor of NYC, but I think there may be something to licenses for bikes.
Whenever I'm driving my work truck, I notice roughly 1 out of 10 drivers of cars NOT wearing a seat belt. I think they're idiots. People drive so poorly, and seat belts save lives by preventing people from flying through the air and landing with great impact... just as any accident with a motorcycle seems to be fatal due to such instances.
I've noticed almost every time I encounter a bicycle on the road, the rider is just asking to be it hit by veering into the whole road rather than staying close to the shoulder/bike lane.
