Who even remembers that Clinton was impeached, and it doesn't make the slightest difference as to how he is remembered. However, enjoy your moment of triumph, till the senate probably acquits him next year. I only say probably, because it's life, and sometimes life deals us the unexpected, but I'm 97% sure he'll be acquitted. Nothing to fear. Your Joking aren't you? DT is never going to forget this slight from the ungrateful unwashed sorry his respected voters all hail the king. This stable genius can't even stop himself trolling a sixteen year old for getting on the cover of Time Magazine. Whilst the outcome in the Senate looks highly predicable, I would not discount the loose canon that is Donald's total lack of any impulse control. If you think his tweeting has been wild and reckless so far wait till the trial actually starts. 5555 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2nd and third hand hearsay, presumptions and bizarre speculatory testimony by pouting neverTrumpers is unfortunately not sufficient. This is why Nancy is trying to shelve it before any more brown stuff hits the fan for the dems. Shelve it? Earlier this week the talk was about the ongoing investigations into its criminal conduct.... continuing to investigate is hardly shelving anything Meanwhile, suggesting that the testimony given thus far is bizarre is pretty pathetic. However.... Republican refusal to comply with lawful subpoenas in a nation you think great and Democratic is something that can be deemed to be bizarre. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has always been the way it works. Nothing new here. The Democrats chose not to contest in the courts. That is their decision, and their decision alone. One does not have to take a side to simply admit to this as fact. If it were the other way around, and it were Democrats being served with Subpoenas I recognize that they have a right to contest in the courts. That is the way it works. These are issues about power being fought over between the branches of Government, again, nothing new. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The house did the right thing. The fact that the senate is gearing up to do the wrong thing didn't and shouldn't have influenced the house. As far as long term political impact regardless of any premature crowing or bravado nobody yet can possibly know. Really? If the "evidence" is so overwhelming strong as these twits say then why delay sending them to the senate? This will be a hilarious backfire and result in a reelected president who you and the other leftists hate with raw emotion and irrational outrage in every reaction. The irony is fantastic. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None. Which has nothing to do with the impeachment, beyond that king don obstructed an investigation into the subject. I was responding to the claim that Russians changed the balance of the election made in an earlier post using the same words the poster used "incontrovertable facts". I say that is were not incontrovertable facts. I never made any claims abut it having to do with impeachment. I will now, however, as it is rather difficult for conservatives to not view this impeachment in light of the fact that Democrats have been trying to impeach the President since he took office. There was no obstruction. If there was then the Democrats would have brought that charge in as part of this impeachment, or earlier attempt. They did not. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bothers me greatly. Funny that you should mention this -- because of all the corruption Trump has been involved in throughout his pathetic life and into his presidency, this is the one thing that really doesn’t bother me in the least. Not saying that he did it, but, you know, the story’s out there, isn’t it. I mean, we all have little fetishes, and I’m not saying that getting peed on is one of mine, but I wouldn’t blame a chap for it. As long as the sex workers are not underage, and no one gets hurt or is forced to do something she doesn’t want to do, and as long as they are adequately compensated for their services and the facilities are properly cleaned up for the next guests, what’s the harm in it?

Popular Post Cryingdick Posted December 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2019 One thing I noticed about the impeachment is. How badly the government handles anything it does. They took months of boring testimony and interviews, had to debate an obvious outcome hour after hour the day of impeachment. When it came time to vote you can see timers and on both occasions the timer ran out. Why could they not have simply voted for each article at the same time? Nobody told them about how to make single file lines to go quickly? They aren't as efficient as a second grade civics class. Now Pelosi may not even forward the articles to the senate. This is why I do not want the government to control things such as health care. They can't even stage a mock impeachment properly. The fun part was Pelosi staring down the dems when they started clapping. Let's keep it solemn and prayerful folks. Because we have no joy in doing this. They had been dangling on the edge for awhile but now it is clear they have stepped off the stupid cliff with both feet. It's odd because I am not outraged the outcome was great they showed what a huge failure the DFl is in it's current state. Even JT is thinking Trump's re-election is probable. This will be remembered as the day the music died for the dems. https://nypost.com/2019/12/18/nancy-pelosis-stomach-turning-impeachment-charade-damages-america-goodwin/ 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WalkingOrders Posted December 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2019 That this has degenerated into claims that people who vote conservatives are cult followers is nothing more then insult. To then imply that voting for Donald Trump is a form of blasphemy or other sin is likewise wrong. Like it is wrong to then ask for theological discussion on why I chose the lessor of two evils in my mind. Which by the way politics always is. I am not going to move policy by policy to defend my faith, or my voting record. If anyone here would like to debate issues I am more then happy to do so as it relates to the topic here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont care what he does, they blindly follow regardless of the facts and evidence and will rely on alternative facts. A cult indeed. Yes the shoe fits. The 45 political movement is definitely a cult of personality. It's important to know that from a historical perspective as his cult of personality can be seen in the context of others both currently and throughout human history. Current other examples include Putin and Erdogan. For anyone that is unaware of this characterization of the 45 movement, I can assure you this is definitely a thing and has been actively discussed by academics and journalists even before he was elected. For those that want to explore this simply google the president's name and cult of personality and you will find a wealth of interesting information. I think it would be much harder to find many people arguing that his movement is NOT a cult of personality! "This is a list of regimes of countries or individual leaders around the world which have been discussed in the media or academia as having created a cult of personality. A cult of personality uses various techniques, including mass media, propaganda, the arts, patriotism, and government-organized demonstrations and rallies to create a heroic image, of a leader, often inviting worshipful behavior through uncritical flattery and praise." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cults_of_personality Edited December 19, 2019 by Jingthing 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
