. . . a constitutionally protected impeachment

. . . 

 

If that had been the case, the letters requesting testimony would have instead been legally binding subpoenas after a full House vote and the Judiciary Committee beginning the process.

Where in the constitution is it written about the exact process that the house is required to follow? It isn't there. You're making stuff up. Trying to divert to process to defend an obviously guilty impeached president.

Nixon did one honorable thing at least, he resigned to oblivion!

Funniest comment of the day... but don’t worry, in November you’ll get the chance to make such inferences and comments for another four years. Have a nice day.

So why is everyone surprised?

Not surprised and he will be getting even worse. 

 

The complicit republican senators in not taking this opportunity to remove this impeached president basically endorsed this.

This vulgar man has squandered our decency

 

From the birth of the Republic — indeed, from the birth of Athenian democracy — it has been an article of faith that self-governance cannot survive without leaders of character.

“Not much probity is needed for maintaining or sustaining a monarchical government or a despotic government,” wrote the Baron de Montesquieu, whose philosophy inspired the Framers. “But in a popular state, one more recourse is necessary, which is virtue.”

His language is common more than vulgar, but his presentation and demeanor are vulgarity at its worst. Not to mention his taste in furnishings etc from what we have seen.

There you go again, you attribute statements to Vindman, you even put statements in parentheses, but you fail to provide a link to the source.

 

You presumably visited that source to extract and quote the sentences you have quoted.

 

Please provide a link to the source of the quotes you have given.

Sigh. Easily found most anywhere.

 

Lt Col Vindman:
Maybe that’s a bit of a… It’s not entirely accurate, but I’m not sure if I would describe it as false. It was consistent with US policy, and these items are used as messaging tools also, so a statement that goes out, in addition to reading out the meeting itself is also a messaging platform to indicate what is important with regards to US policy.

You missed the point, the coup (slang) was against Trump himself, the man the Dems can’t beat. The Dems failed big time last election and even before Trump was inauguration the Dems were plotting his downfall by any means.

So no mater how much you spin it Trump won and will win again and, well basically you the Dems lost and lost bitterly.

The word coup is not a slang word. Fact.

He won the 2016 election with the help of Putin. Beyond that it's impossible to predict. Again, there was no coup and if 45 had been removed the president would be Pence from the exact same administration.
