I can only hope that the American voter on mass will speak louder than this spineless, hypocritical bunch of senators come November. The only goal posts that have been changed were the tactics used by The Democrats to present the impeachment charges to the Senate, but I doubt that is what you are referring to. As far as no guilt, no convictions that remains the same. As far as the upcoming elections, the voters will not forget the slime ball tactics of the Democrats, after all that is what got him elected in the first place. Perhaps your time would be better spent trying to do something about your own corrupt government, instead of whining about ours, after all we are number one in the world, we are doing fine without the advice of the trailers. 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakuho Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 First off, the U.S. is not a democracy, it is technically a REPUBLIC; look it up. Technically a Republic, in reality, an OLIGARCHY. Second, there was zero 'quid-pro-quo' as transmission proved. and even if it was, there is no statute in the U.S. Constitution that covers the two 'abuses' referenced. Democrat party= Zionist controlled. and you can take that to the FED bank, a Rothschild controlled entity since 1913, when president signed over congressional control of America's SOVEREIGN money control to a small group of European bankers. Read Bill Still document, "the money masters"; get informed. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AussieBob18 Posted February 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2020 Dear Democrat supporters and anti-Trump posters. Please accept the outcome of the 2020 election, but more importantly, please accept that you are wrong when Trump is re-elected. Now you may still keep your political bias and hatred for Trump 9and us his supporters), but it is the People who decide the political direction of USA and they will vote in November on exactly that. The People are always right - whether they vote the way you want or not - the People decide. For my part I will accept that I was wrong in my opinions that Trump is the greatest POTUS since Reagan, because if Trump is not re-elected then my opinions are not what the People decided and the People are always right - whether you like what they decide or not. Will you all do the same please - accept the will and decision of the People. Whether you agree that Trump is the greates POTUS since Reagan is not the issue - the issue is whether you agree that Trump is the POTUS as decided by the People. Remember - we all suffered (mainly silently) through the 8 years of Obama - but we accepted the People's decision. 4 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how you will feel if that president was a Democrat and the victim was a republican? trump and the republicans are not the real problem in this situation they are taking advantage of a situation. the problem is you guys, you are the enablers . You all should be ashamed of yourselves. IMO you are all morally bankrupt I have no politics in this one way or the other. I have watched as much as an outsider individual can via the net as possible...yep many hours. It seems to me that the Dems should have proved their case, witnesses and all, within the House proceedings, which in the final Q & A session the Dems said that procedural rules were the responsibility of the House and would determine such procedures, for the House, that they considered appropriate. So this admits the Dems to do all the work for the impeachment and finally arriving at a vote in yes/no on impeachment. But it seems to me that they rushed it leaving loop holes which the Reps could take advantage of and, in my view, is what happened. There were many times that the Dems were repeating themselves over and over which is a clear sign that they trying to form their case in the Senate as it went on. Their case should have been complete before taking it to the Senate. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AussieBob18 Posted February 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2020 For those who do not understand the basics of Law and how the Consitution framed Impeachment and the subsequent rules and conventions pout in place - go do some research - try Wikipeadia My quick summary of the current 'arrangements'. The House conducts the investigations. The House views the results of the investigation and votes on yes/no. If Yes the House sends the case to the Senate. The Senate conducts a trial based on the case presented by the House. The Senate votes whether guilty or not guilty. Think of it this way. The Police investigate. The Prosecution conducts the trial based on the Police investigations. Because there are no set rules and regulations about how the House can conduct its investigations, in fact they can set their own rules and regluations, the process followed by the Dems is a complete breakaway from the last impeachment investigation rules and regluations followed (Clinton). The Police can always continue their investigations after a Trial, but the prosecutor cannot and does not investigate anything while conducting the trial other than what is directly related to the case prepared by the Police. The Dems knbew this and that is why they deliberately controlled/blocked the GOP participation in their investigations. The Dems did not investigate anything about the corruption of Biden et al, becausae they didnt want that in the trial. By any impartial measure the Dems have conducted a partisan and corrupted investigation - and just like Nancy handing out gold pens, it is all a political farce. They were locked into this from 2016 onwards. They hate Trump because he is tearing apart the Obama disaster and pulling back all their progressive globalist policies and changes - just like he said he would. He was supposed to have colluded with Russia - but that fake story and the illegal investigations failed - so they had to find another reason to start impeachment - which of course they found with the aid of partisan hacks and disgruntled swapers. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
