Another Dem comes out against Impeachment Today.

[The Original Tree]

Their hypocrisy is astounding, these Democrats.
Do they really believe Americans are stupid enough to believe them
at this point ? ( don't answer that )

One thing is for sure The Core Leadership of The Democrat Party is a Bunch of Unrepentant Evil and Pathological Liars that NO ONE SHOULD TRUST!

Five years ago, I never dreamed I'd say this but
thank God for Fox News. They've been on top of it the whole way.

It's the only Island of sanity within The Insane Shit Storm of DemTard Schitt Show..

This is gaining more and more momentum as Sensible Democrats are realizing NANCY PELOSI played them when she cajoled them in to at least voting for The Inquiry while she lied through her dentures & promised it would be fair and bi-partisan and was nothing of the sort and represented an ABUSE OF POWER by THE DEMOCRATS.

Another Democrat Breaks Ranks.

More Defections Coming:

Peterson says he'll likely vote against impeachment

Democrats expect handful of defections on impeachment vote

Trump impeachment: Some Democrats may not be united on articles

A Civiqs poll last week found that 91 percent of Democrats favor impeachment, but only 49 percent of independents favor impeachment. Moreover, in swing states, voters are decidedly against the impeachment of Trump, complicating any potential electoral success for Democrats which may have resulted from the rushed impeachment proceedings.

According to a Washington Post average of polls in the swing states of Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Wisconsin, an average of 44 percent of voters favor the impeachment of Trump, and 51 percent oppose. Given that these are arguably some of the most critical states for Democrats to capture in 2020, impeachment will likely become politically problematic as Trump, who will almost surely be acquitted by the Senate, will be emboldened.

BTW, what The Democrats Pulled with This INSANE and unfair, Impeachment Devoid of Due PROCESS should show everyone we need The Electoral College more than ever and we have to challenge Motor Voter Registrations, as well as shut down Illegal Immigration and get Immigration Reform Passed.

Since Trump declined to participate in the process, you cant complain about it.

As far as Peterson, Trump won in his district by 30.8 percent. So Peterson can win if he votes for impeachment, simply because of his district.

Peterson says he cant vote for impeachment unless they come up with something, but enlisting the help of foreign nationals and governments in attacking the American democracy qualifies as "something".
Hope he enjoys his inevitable primary challenger.

LOL - You're kidding right? How did he enlist them to attack "American Democracy"? This should be rich.

It's the only Island of sanity within The Insane Shit Storm of DemTard Schitt Show..

Fox, One America News, Judicial Watch, USA Watchdog, and some others are
doing a good job. All the progressive websites that I once trusted have gone full blown TDS- -Democracy Now, TYT, Truthdig, Truthout, Counterpunch, Mother Jones, Salon, Thom Hartmann, the list goes on...they all lost credibility with me.

State Senator John Yudichak of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania said that he will be switching his registration to become an Independent. He will caucus with the Republican majority.

Yudichak has criticized an increasingly liberal Democratic caucus that has led to this decision.



Due to issues that he finds important, Yudichak believes there is a better home in the Republican caucus.

Yudichak’s announcement comes less than 24 hours since we learned that New Jersey Democratic Congressman Jeff Van Drew has also made a decision that speaks volumes.

The only non-action would be foot shooting at this point.

Alleges...but it didn't happen. "Abuse of Power" even if proven to be true is not an impeachable offense.

That’s just not in the Constitution. You can’t make this stuff up. It’s only four criteria for impeachment: treason, bribery, high crimes and misdemeanors. Abuse of office is not one of them,” Dershowitz said.

From Alan Dershowitz -- preeminent constitutional attorney/expert.

From Alan Dershowitz -- preeminent constitutional attorney/expert.

The framers of the Constitution recognized that someday a president might come to office who would have used that office, betrayed the public trust and undermined national security to secure foreign help in his reelection.

The aid to Ukraine was approved by another branch of the U.S. government makes this a clear-cut case of abuse of power.

"He really had no say constitutionally on whether it should be given to Ukraine. Right there, he's in violation of constitutional norms and practices and the law," said Barbara Ann Perry, presidential studies director at the University of Virginia's Miller Center. Perry said Trump further abused the power of the presidency by tying the holdup in aid to an investigation into his political rivals.

Abuse of Power is not a crime that can be found in US Code. It's as fictional as you pretending to care about America all the while you trash it.

It's not our faults you threw a hail mary in desperation to win the 2020 election and all you did was rally even Trump's Opponents to his side.

America does not like Liars and Cheaters and you are both.

Your title says she's "against impeachment" and the article says she's voting "for impeachment"......you need to brush up on your English, Comrade, before Putin puts you in a gulag for incompetence.

The posts do have the stench of a Russian troll, for sure.

Apparently even Fox News finds Donald losing:
Fox News poll: Trump should be removed from office, would lose in 2020

Personally, I think people in this country are fucked up just enough to re-elect the scum bag who trolls 16-year-old teenage girls who beat him out of the TIME Person of the Year award.

Impeachment of Bill Clinton - Wikipedia

Five Republicans (Amo Houghton, Peter King, Connie Morella, Chris Shays and Mark Souder) voted against the first perjury charge. Eight more Republicans (Sherwood Boehlert, Michael Castle, Phil English, Nancy Johnson, Jay Kim, Jim Leach, John McHugh and Ralph Regula), but not Souder, voted against the obstruction charge. Twenty-eight Republicans voted against the second perjury charge, sending it to defeat, and eighty-one voted against the abuse of power charge.
