New York Times editorial board calls for Trump's impeachment

[Circe]

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.

I'm not sure it matters if it's just a state legislature senator. I mean, great, but there are a WHOLE lot of state legislators -- it's not a trend. So far.

More, I want more!

 

[Missouri_Mike]

Suck it up Trumpeters as the media lines up with editorials calling for Trump's impeachment.

Whatever the ghoul Mitch McConnell is saying, an acquittal is no certainty for Donald Trump in a senate trial because a lot of GOP lawmakers hate Trump while seeking to avoid Trump turning his howling mob on any GOP lawmaker he takes a dislike to.

Trump apparently wants a long impeachment trial, however he also faces risks as more dirt could emerge before the senate trial concludes.

New York Times editorial board calls for Trump's impeachment
BY MARINA PITOFSKY - 12/14/19 10:42 PM EST 3,842

The New York Times editorial board officially called for President Trump’s impeachment Saturday.
The fiery new editorial, simply titled “Impeach.,” calls the two articles of impeachment introduced against Trump this week – abuse of power and obstruction of Congress – “short, simple and damning.”
“President Donald Trump abused the power of his office by strong-arming Ukraine, a vulnerable ally, holding up hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid until it agreed to help him influence the 2020 election by digging up dirt on a political rival,” the editorial states.
“When caught in the act, he rejected the very idea that a president could be required by Congress to explain and justify his actions, showing 'unprecedented, categorical and indiscriminate defiance' in the face of multiple subpoenas. He made it impossible for Congress to carry out fully its constitutionally mandated oversight role, and, in doing so, he violated the separation of powers, a safeguard of the American republic,” it continues.
House Democrats have alleged that Trump held up hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine while pressuring the country to open investigations into the president’s political rivals. Lawmakers have also accused the Trump administration of blocking the testimonies of a dozen of its officials from testifying before lawmakers in the ongoing inquiry.”
The editorial called for lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to “consider the facts, the architecture and aspirations of the Constitution and the call of history. In that light, there can be only one responsible judgment: to cast a vote to impeach, to send a message not only to this president but to future ones.”
It also criticized the president for refusing “to release any administration documents or allow any administration officials to testify” and “asserting a form of monarchical immunity that Congress cannot let stand.”
The editorial said the House’s fast-moving investigation was “regrettable,” but added that “Democratic leaders have a point when they say they can’t afford to wait.” It cites the upcoming 2020 presidential election in addition to Trump calling for China and Ukraine to investigate Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden earlier this year in front of reporters on the White House lawn as a reason to get on with proceedings.
“[Founding Father James] Madison and his fellow framers understood that elections — which, under normal circumstances, are the essence of democratic self-government — could not serve their purpose if a president was determined to cheat to win,” the piece says.
The editorial accuses Republican lawmakers of “working overtime to abet the president’s wrongdoing. They have spread toxic misinformation and conspiracy theories to try to justify his actions and raged about the unfairness of the inquiry, complaining that Democrats have been trying to impeach Mr. Trump since he took office.” The publication's editorial board also added that some Democrats too were “too eager to resort to impeachment before it became unavoidable.”
It cites Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C), who has called the House hearings a “bunch of B.S.” and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who told Fox News host Sean Hannity that there was “no chance” the Senate would vote to convict the president, as culprits of this alleged wrong-doing.
“For now,” the editorial concludes, “that leaves the defense of the Constitution, and the Republic, to the House of Representatives.”

I’ll wait and see what the NYT editorial board has to say before making up my mind.- shit nobody has ever said

I’m really surprised the NYT sides with the democrats.- more shit nobody has ever said.

 

[Circe]

Democrats are in free fall.

Naaaaaaaah, not yet they aren't. I'd be more impressed if there were two or three more defections, and a resolution to censure instead of impeach.

A couple more Supreme Court appointments and two huge violent meltdowns like last time could help.

How can any woman not throw up?

I know it can't work, but I wish they could have a secret vote.

The only reason you want that is you think it would make removal more likely. Something like this should not be a secret vote, just like a declaration of war or a tax increase. Elected officials should be on record with their votes.

The editorial accuses Republican lawmakers of “working overtime to abet the president’s wrongdoing. They have spread toxic misinformation and conspiracy theories to try to justify his actions and raged about the unfairness of the inquiry, complaining that Democrats have been trying to impeach Mr. Trump since he took office.” The publication's editorial board also added that some Democrats too were “too eager to resort to impeachment before it became unavoidable.”
It cites Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C), who has called the House hearings a “bunch of B.S.” and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who told Fox News host Sean Hannity that there was “no chance” the Senate would vote to convict the president, as culprits of this alleged wrong-doing.
“For now,” the editorial concludes, “that leaves the defense of the Constitution, and the Republic, to the House of Representatives.”

Dang, that came out of nowhere!

It's easy to see they've got YOU programmed.

Didn't you forget all the people he dumped into vats of acid, dogs & cats he tossed into the ocean, and poison gases he sprayed into school classrooms ?

Vaginas tighter?
