Official Impeachment Day Thread

[WEATHER53]

That makes no sense.

Wasn't trump going to lead the way out of the swamp??? Instead he brings it with him

AGGGHHHH you're killing me

Still president.

Yes, he's still an impeached president.

Technically incorrect as Pigloysy is trying to dangle it and not send it to Senate
So what you libs have right now, and once again, is facts not supporting you in your very own little make pretend activity that you feel should be called “impeachment”

 

[hadit]

More Republican shrill yelling.

Actually, it's quite musical.

 

[hadit]

"Elections matter"....like 2018.

No one says they don't. Are you feeling okay?

 

[edward37]

Who will receive praise as a man or woman of courage? Not any of the Republicans, that's for sure.

Just the democrats who had the guts to not vote for it. They will.

Those few were just trying to save their asses ,,,just like repubs were doing God forbid they ever butt heads with the trump moron

 

[Circe]

Circe WTF difference would it make?? You want to beat a dead horse to death??

Are you kidding? Clarence Thomas isn't dead and he isn't a horse, but he is mute and 71 --- replacing "the black seat" would block that seat against a leftwing Dem appointment in the future, and Trump could put in someone in their early 50s like the Dems always do and thus have a conservative justice in that seat for 20-25 more years.

I wonder if they are already leaning on Thomas to retire. Someone has been leaking that he wants to, this past year....

Nope, he's impeached. He was impeached at precisely the moment Pigloysy banged her gavel concluding the first article was passed.

Sorry but no. It must be sent to Senate to ratify it as an impeachment, she is holding out on that to try and further the smearing. As usual, facts and law trump your feelings.

Nancy Pelosi would not commit Wednesday night to sending the two articles of impeachment to the Senate.

History may view the vote one way, but as Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy pointed out, in the immediate future Trump will still be President after this effort is over and, almost surely, after a Senate trial.

CNN's Chris Cillizza argues the trend line in recent weeks suggests the intense focus on impeachment has marginally helped, not hurt Trump. The change in public opinion is slight, yes. And it may well be temporary. But for the moment, it's the sort of thing that has to make Democrats a little (and maybe more than a little) nervous about the path they have chosen.

COCAINE MITCH: McConnell Rips Apart Democrats’ ‘Partisan Crusade’ on the Floor of the Senate.

Mitch is as on fire as a turtle gets and he's ready to FIGHT the House's Abuse of Power!

McConnell may be setting things up for the Senate to reject the House articles for not stating an impeachable offense:

“House Democrats want to create new rules for this president because they feel uniquely enraged,” he argued. “This is by far the thinnest basis for any House-passed presidential impeachment in American history.” He condemned it as “the most rushed, least thorough, and most unfair impeachment inquiry in modern history.”​

Words are but symbols for actual things. Impeachment is a word that represents Bribery, Treason or Other High Crimes and Misdemeanors. Democrats think they can wave words around like magical spells and alter reality.

McConnell noted that Pelosi is considering not sending the articles of impeachment over to the U.S. Senate. After rushing through the process of impeachment in the House, “they’re content to sit on their hands.”​

“The Democrats’ own actions concede their allegations are unproven. The allegations are not just unproven, they’re also legally incoherent,” he said. “If the Senate blesses this historically low bar, we will invite the impeachment of every single future president.”​

McConnell dismissed both articles of impeachment — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.​

The first article “does not even purport to allege any actual claim,” instead using “the vague phrase ‘abuse of power’ to impugn the president’s action in a general way.” He argued that this followed exactly what the Founders warned against — impeachment for maladministration.​

The second article involves Trump’s supposed obstruction by going to the courts to challenge congressional subpoenas.​

“It’s not a constitutional crisis for a House to want more information than a president wants to give up,” McConnell explained. Indeed, this kind of legal battle is “a routine occurrence.” In the case of Bill Clinton, Congress went to the courts.​

“This takes time, it’s inconvenient. That’s actually the point. Due process is not meant to maximize the convenience of the prosecutor, it’s meant to protect the accused,” the Republican leader insisted. “Fourteen months of hearings for Richard Nixon; years of investigation for Bill Clinton; twelve weeks for Donald Trump.”​

The Republican leader’s historic speech did indeed echo the Founders, who warned against impeachment based on partisan strength rather than real crimes.​

The way it’s set up, the House can impeach for whatever it chooses, but it’s up to the Senate to decide whether the House has stated an impeachable offense. And by dismissing the articles on this basis, there’s no need for a Senate trial. Trump would like a trial to get his side out, but it’s not as if the Senate is the only place he can do that. And part of the Dems’ strategy is to make it harder for Trump to fill a Supreme Court seat if (when?) one opens up before January 2021. And we know McConnell is focused on judicial appointments.

To avoid removal, Trump needs senators representing only 7 percent of the country to support him

In the Senate, where that vote on removal will take place, the picture is very different. There hasn’t been a vote on impeachment yet, and in fact most senators haven’t even stated a position on the issue. (Many, but not all, are declining to offer a position, acting under the theory that they are jurors in Trump’s impeachment trial.)

If we assume a party-line vote (which is essentially what happened in the House), 53 percent of senators would oppose impeachment — but more than half the country would live in states whose senators favored impeachment. (For these calculations, we assigned half of the state’s population to each senator to account for states with split-party senators. Independents were presumed to support removal.)

(Philip Bump/The Washington Post)

That opposition to impeachment also means that a party-line Senate vote would even less accurately reflect public polling. The difference between our theoretical Senate vote margin and the Post poll is nine points; for the House it was a bit under five points.

(Philip Bump/The Washington Post)

Isn’t this just a way to say that “the Senate isn’t representative of the population?” Sure. But that manifests in interesting ways on this particular issue.

Consider, for example, that it requires 67 votes in the Senate to oust Trump from office. That means that 34 votes are needed to preserve his position. Even if he were deeply unpopular, if Trump maintained support from senators in 17 states, he could keep his job. Meaning, in the most extreme scenario, that he could be impeached but not removed from office if senators from the 17 least-populous states — representing about 7 percent of the population — decided to stand by him.

(Philip Bump/The Washington Post)

In the House, representatives’ votes on impeachment probably didn’t frustrate that many people. About 66 percent of people who voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 live in districts whose representatives supported impeachment; about 60 percent of Trump voters live in districts whose representatives opposed it.

Putin Criticizes Democrats for Impeaching Trump
Russian President Vladimir Putin blasted Democrats for impeaching President Trump on what the Russian leader called “made up charges,” and said he expects the U.S. president to survive the firestorm...

Putin is correct. Our potential enemies are not stupid, they see the circus coup attempt by the worthless dems.

Why is it better to be at cold war with russia than to work with them to the benefit of both countries? Why do you dems want the USA in constant wars?

yeah sure, lets just let the senators from LA county and NYC vote in the senate. WTF is wrong with you?

 

[Redfish]

Trump ASKED for help Weren't you listening?

he said "russia if you are listening" It was a JOKE you fricken idiot.

And their acting just the same day was a coincidence? And what about putting a gun to Ukraines head and the Giuliani scum trying to dig up crap ??

they had hillary's 33,000 "missing" emails long before that, they thought she was going to win and would use them to blackmail her into doing whatever they wanted.

Taking political dirt from a foreign entity is not illegal. Paying for it is, and that is exactly what the Hillary campaign did through Fusion GPS and Perkins Coie.

Biden openly bragged about successfully bribing Ukraine to fire the prosecutor who was looking into Burisma where his son and the sons of Pelosi, Kerry and Romney were getting paid thousands per month to sit on a board. If that is not buying influence in the US govt, what the fuck is it?

The fact that Democrats and snowflakes can declare their candidate deleting 33,000 SUBPOENAED OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS - documents that consisted of violations of both the FOIA and Federal Records Act - is in no way an attempt to OBSTRUCT Justice or is a crime...

The fact that Democrats and snowflakes say a 15-minute meeting with a Russian lawyer made possible by Obama that resulted in no information exchanging hands IS 'illegal collusion' ... but they claim paying a biased known lying foreign spy who has his own agenda and is working with the Russians for Russian-authored Counter-Intelligence propaganda and using that known debunked propaganda from the known liar to intentionally engage in FISA Court Abuses is somehow NOT illegal or illegal collusion.....

is all you need to know about the Democrats, snowflakes, and what just went down.

With republicans LESS evidence is better than MORE evidence

Hmmm, and how much evidence did Schiff and Nadler allow republicans to submit? Ya got it backwards eddie, as usual.

It is not the west that is attacking Russia, but rather the other way around.

Putin cannot be trusted, and is the President of a criminal regime. Putin provides a safe haven for criminal hackers and cyber-criminals. In return for freedom and safety, the hackers support and participate in Putin's criminal conspiracies to undermine NATO and other western democracies, who Putin blames for destroying the Soviet Union.
