Very funny and thanks for the memories, but in case you missed it yesterday he became the third U.S. president to ever be IMPEACHED. That's something.

They better hurry up then and send the articles over.

As there is no provision in the constitution that sets a timeframe for the articles to be sent over,

(and pelosi won't follow precedent)....similarly there is no precedent for how the senate will react

to this provocation.

Anyway...a flimsy case will still be a flimsy case even a year later. Let the Dems enjoy their unconsummated marriage with impeachment. ????

Do you want to hear from Mulvaney and Bolton? If not, I can only assume you don't really want a fair trial. That's not defensible. Pelosi has more leverage here than the 45 fans realize. That poll saying 75 of Americans still DO want to hear from the closer insiders like Mulvaney and Bolton mean if/when the senate does a sham trial without such witnesses, they will have handed the democrats a potent campaign message, that their Banana Republic sham show trial does not exonerate 45.

Honestly the impeachment of this particular president seemed inevitable to me from the moment he got elected. The only surprise is how long it took.

 

That's pretty clairvoyant for a guy who thought Hillary was a shoe in and used her as an avatar. The Mueller batman av was also a highlight in your career of predictions.

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.

I’m sorry, but you need a bit more education. Please look up the definition of cult of personality and try to understand that ...it is different than the meaning of cult.

Thats the point, everyone who was crying the night of the election feels the same.  He was guilty before he did anything.

 

If you want to impeach him for killing babies in Yemen then you have my attention.  But if your mad because he wanted to get to the bottom of the whole russia conspiracy, or the shady deals of the bidens then sorry not sorry.

It's an accomplishment, really.  There have been presidents who have not distinguished themselves that in time are merely names memorized in history class by schoolkids.  Some are noted individually, like Washington and Lincoln.  Then there are the lists, like those who died in office, and those who were impeached.  At the beginning of his 2nd term the Clinton WH was put to work on establishing Bill's legacy: well, that chore solved itself!  Congrats, Donnie, your legacy has been established. 

But there is an ugliness to this, and there is no amount of lipstick gonna change that, whether he gets removed from office or not, and there is no way to play that down.  It might hurt Don Jr when he runs for president in 2024.

But if he is still in the WH on January 21 it's possible he'll be the first commander in chief to be removed by his own military.

Are you trying to claim that being hopping mad and seething with hatred because your favored candidate took a whooping in the election is NOT grounds for impeachment?

 

Sadly on both sides of the Atlantic we have a situation where the left just can not and never will accept the fact that they lost in the elections. In the UK we essentially had a 2nd brexit referendum and aced it in a landslide. No doubt the same will happen in the US in november. Calling the voters stupid ignorant hicks that didn't know what they voted for, and trying by every foul means to overthrow their elected government doesn't fare well in the following election. Funny that!

He’s referring to the people in Congress who ranted and whined but failed to offer a shred of evidence against the sworn testimonies presented to Congress.

 

And of course to all those who ranted from the sidelines but refused the offer to give their own sworn testimony.

Beyond farcical. This spells doom to the democrat party. I don't think anybody even has any idea why he is being impeached? Because Ambassador Sondland "presumed" there was quid pro quo? Just shocking how bad the democrat party has handled this and let down the American people.

 I trust in the judgement the American people will decide in November 2020. Roll on the Trump Train!!

 

This phony scam by the socialist democrat party assures Trump's re-election next year in a landslide. Keep making America great Donald. Drain the swamp.

I think that there is one factor to remember; the blockage of documents, testimony and documentary evidence by Trump ain't gonna last.

 

The simple fact is that there will be a Democratic President, likely in 2020 but in 2024 at the latest, and all the documents that the Trump Administration is hiding will come out; they are still on file, even if they are not being shown. Further, if anyone from the current Trump Administration wants to ever work in a Senate-confirmed position ever again (many of the current Trump staffers are young enough to do so, given the chance), then they will be asked questions under oath during their potential confirmation hearing(s).

 

Or, perhaps John Bolton's book will tell all.

 

The truth, as always, will get out. it is just a question of when.

 

This Impeachment will resonate for a loooooooong time.

 

 

 

What's to stop the GOP from impeaching the Dem POTUS again and again and again?

Unlikely. The stupidity and brashness of Trump is not normal for most future Presidents whether Dem or Rep. Trump is an one off, one song wonder that manage to fool the people once but unlikely again in 2020. 

I know how easy it is to get carried away sometimes. But, this is quite the overstep. Turns out that Trump has NOT been impeached at all. It was just more fake news from the usual quarters.

Not many straws left to grasp.

On the subject of historic moments, it appears some evangelicals have stopped denying the obvious and had enough.  From "Christianity Today", a magazine founded by the late Billy Graham:

 

"The president of the United States attempted to use his political power to coerce a foreign leader to harass and discredit one of the president’s political opponents. That is not only a violation of the Constitution; more importantly, it is profoundly immoral."

"The reason many are not shocked about this is that this president has dumbed down the idea of morality in his administration."  https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2019/december-web-only/trump-should-be-removed-from-office.html

 

I grew up in the Bible Belt, and could write many pages about the hypocrisy of many who call themselves Christians.  However I also know there are many who genuinely try to be good Christians.  I encourage all who consider themselves Christians to read the entire article.

I know. When this happen. 
Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) compared the impeachment debate against President Donald Trump to the trial of Jesus Christ.

Well, the "trial" of Jesus was a set up sham, IMO, so there is indeed a comparison to be made, IMO. BTW, he wasn't saying that Trump was the son of God. His comments were only in regard to the trial.

 

Disclaimer, I haven't read the statement of Loudermilk, so only responding to Eric Loh's post.

You simply can’t made comparison to Jesus, period. It is juvenile and lacking religious sensitivity so close to Christmas.

When one is faced with 2 monsters and can only get rid of one, one normally gets rid of the worst monster, but it doesn't mean that the remaining monster is not a monster.

The voters knew exactly what Trump was when they voted for him and not her.

The Dems brought him to power, IMO, when they sabotaged Bernie.

LOL. I wasn't, if you actually read my post, and apparently neither was Loudermilk. Perhaps you thought The life of Brian was about Jesus, too.

funny, the US system has the Bi Partisan labels of Democrats, and Repulicans... ideally working alongside each other 

 

they will always be at each others' necks, 

 

 

 

yet beware that never the twain shall meet under the same bedsheets...

 

for if you combine the two terms as concurrent; then find that Democratic Republics are mostly communistic dictatorships  

 

 

by the laws of nature, it is actually better the two just keep on niggling at each others butts...

And it looks like things are not going well for the Dems. 

 

Pelosi is asking for more time and Schumer wants the Senate to call witnesses the House failed to pursue.

 

And of course the Dems feel removing the president is an urgent matter because according to them, Trump is rigging the 2020 election.  In fact it's so urgent, they'll get on it right after the Christmas vacation!

 

The whole thing is falling apart. 

 

Republican takeover in 2020 guaranteed.

More 45 fan fiction.

Actually the tactic to delay this and to try to pressure some republican senators to vote to change the rules of the trial is showing a lot of promise.

 

Remember to remove takes 2/3 but to change trial rules only needs a simple majority. What exactly are 45 fans afraid of to hear from witnesses like Mulvaney and Bolton? I think we all know. If they really thought the dear leader was clean they would be welcoming them to testify.
