Senate acquits Trump in historic vote as re-election battle looms

[JHolmesJr]

Hearing rumblings that if the Reps take the House back, they are going to move to EXPUNGE the 

partisan impeachment of Trump.

 

Wouldn't that be something?

If.

 

And please do tell, where in the Constitution does Congress get the power to expunge an impeachment?

You are so right. There is a saying that is very prevelant on Twitter:  Liberalism is a mental disorder.  I tend to agree with that statement - and the evidence is overwhelming. Besides their ability to ignore facts and believe that their feelings are more important in any argument, take a look at their reactions after Trump won.  

 

An interesting aside is the medical theory that teenagers have a 'mental disorder', and that it is because their brains have not yet fully developed. And it seems that in this modern world the delay of that brain development phase is being increased, and that is why we now have 30 year old teenagers playing computer games all day. It also suggests that it is only through external influence that a person's brain develops as they grow - and what external influences the young are nowadays getting is delaying that development - especially boys.  As a long time sports coach of young boys there is a lot of validity in that - every boy I coached whose family had a tragedy 'grew up' very quickly. 

 

Liberals exhibit a lot of the traits of teenagers - especially evidenced by their behaviour after Trump was elected and in areguments on TV - not all - but many.  The truth is that it is very common for young people to be 'left wing' and for them to become 'right wing' when they grow up.  I think the analogy is valid, and a liberal's 'arguments' are just the same as teenagers - all they can see and hear is what supports their own viewpoints - and all things else are false.  Teenagers know everything and understand nothing - it is a part of the growing up process.  Speaking from experience, arguing with a teenager is usually a waste of time - they just cannot admit they are wrong and they will use the most extreme and ridiculous arguments to support themselves - and then become insulting and abusive and/or storm off to their room when all else fails.

 

 

 

‘Mental disorder’ you say.

From the OP: "Trump faces no serious challengers for his party's presidential nomination."

 

I would also submit he faces no serious challengers for the Office of the President of the United States. None of the current crop can beat him.  Even leftists like Chris Matthews admit that.  

 

The Dems seem hell bent on destroying themselves, the only thing they can do well.  This whole impeachment charade has led to Trump's highest approval rating since he took office.

The majority makes the rules.  Elections have consequences.  Who said that again? 555

 

You can look for Republicans to make a whole new set of rules.  It's comin'. Get ready.

Nancy found herself holding a pair of threes.  Got her backside handed to her.

 

Think about it.  They can't stop now.  They've gotta keep doubling down and tripling down and even walk off the cliff if need be. If Democrats quit their foolishness, they'll lose their base; and they've already lost Independent voters.  The radical Dem supporters won't show up to vote if Nancy quits and acts reasonable.

You're congratulating Republican wishes to expunge the historical record? trump is already attempting to suppress Freedom of Speech' by vilifying and lying about any criticism of him, banning media organisations from attending his events and so on, Claiming only he speaks the truth (demagoguery plus false as proven 16,000+ lies and misinformation articulated by him since becoming President), even going so far at the usually non partisan National Prayer event, to claim God blesses the Republicans, lying during his SOTU address.

None of that suppresses free speech.

And now they're saying they're gonna subpoena John Bolton? Wow. They should stick to learning to count votes. They can't even run a caucus in a small state without completely screwing it up.

The democrats are still in the early stages of their nominating process. 

 

45 like most incumbents doesn't have any serious challengers for the republican nomination. 

 

I think at this point gloating about a second term for 45 is premature procrastination.

But they didn't have time to do that during Nancy's unilateral impeachment inquiry.  They always do themselves in with their foolishness.

Like they did in 2015. The rules the Dem house applied in its committees. Voted by Republicans to facilitate investigations into Obama. Lol

Disagree. Concerted effort by the trump administration to suppress Free Speech. BTW the fact check count of trump's SOTU speech is 32 false / misleading statements. Again how anyone can support a president who doesn't fulfil his Constitutional oath is beyond me.  trump has now fired a witness to his impeachment, the guy hasn't been convicted of perjury, so again censorship / suppression by trump.

How many more journalists did the last administration investigate and subsequently incarcerate compared to the current administration? 
 

It’s always the left trying to stifle free speech, not the right, just look at the universities. 
 

The President has a right to have people he can trust around him, and the “witness” was just reassigned to the Pentagon.

Only Republicans are capable of stifling free speech. Obama's spying on jorunalists didn't stifle free speech. When Obama shut out Fox News, that didn't stifle free speech. But when Trump shuts out CNN, that stifles free speech. Just ask any Democrat!

What kind of demonic gaslighting is that? What you are describing is exactly the M.O. of our current impeached president.

Not at all.

 

Perfectly descriptive of Democrat outrage over free speech and politicians controlling which media travels with them or is invited to private dinners or press pools. 

 

JT, you're way too dramatic about everything.  I'm not here to get personal with anyone.  I'm here to discuss issues and provide information.  I'll try to refrain from responding to you in the future.  Have a great day.  ????

Impeachment?  OMG what a ridiculous series of events it was from beginning to end. Not a single shred of convincing evidence was presented.  And to top it off so few people who dislike the current CIC forget Pres. Clinton was impeached, stayed in office, and finished strong.  If only the Democrats had spent the past three years creating a platform of positive energy with good ideas, turning those ideas into a plan... they’d be in a much better place than where they are now.  This chronic dislike of Mr. Trump and dismissal or ignorance of the benefits of his policies have sent them down a path so few enjoy being associated with.  A massive lost opportunity, it is.

Disingenuous post. The democrats have sent scads of bills to the senate, many of them bipartisan, only to be buried and not even debated on by the self described grim reaper republican senate leader. 

I guess your argument might work for low information voters though. Something that 45 depends on.

funny how they all start to speak "After" the fact, no balls, besides Romney, nobody had the guts to stand... expect many more to come soon

 

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — President Donald Trump abused his power and shouldn't be in office, Vermont Gov. Phil Scott, a fellow Republican, said Thursday in a rare dissent from within party ranks.
