Trump's Impeachment Defense Is The Same As Nixon's

[whitehall]

Democrats have the overwhelming support of the entire mainstream media with very few exceptions and rely on anonymous sources for unverified information. The identity of the so-called "whistle blower" even remains secret. Why wouldn't they think they could railroad the President out of office? The problem is that it is blowing up in their faces and the President remains as popular as ever and enjoys full support of the GOP. Now it seems that the democrat/socialist party is reduced to inventing fantasies while they can't even find a candidate who could stand up to Trump.

Just for you OP

Does that also come in a mouth wash, some dems prefer that when Trump has their tongue.

In the spirit of Richard Nixon and his belief that if a president does it, it can't be illegal; once again, another president makes the argument that a president is a king, accountable to no one. Except maybe an election every 4 years -- but even that is shaky because that president can simply skip the elections if he or she feels it's in the public interest...according to one impeachment defense, if Putin decides he wants Alaska back and the president thinks it in the public interest, he can just do it.....Why do conservatives/republicans keep making these bullshit arguments??

"I think I’m the greatest president that ever was, and if I’m not elected, the national interest will suffer greatly.’ That cannot be an impeachable offense,” Trump’s defense argued. 'Every public official I know believes that his election is in the public interest. And mostly you’re right,” he said. “Your election is in the public interest. And if a president does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment.”

I really hope these sycophantic Trumpers keep this same energy the minute someone that isn't their cult leader feels they can do the same thing....Something tells me they won't -- and the excuse of "It's ok to do it if it triggers the conservatives" wouldn't be a sufficient enough defense...because every Trumper defends every Trump fuck up by saying "Tee-hee, it's OK if it triggers the libs..tee-ee" -- oh really?? Cool...

When some GOP senators were asked to comment on this new Trump defense that would only make Dick Cheney and Richard Nixon blush -- they all tried to dodge the point. Senator Tim Scott said that Dershowitz was just being philosophical -- saying “He said ‘a president,’ not President Trump. I think he was talking about a philosophical perspective.” Tim Scott should be embarrassed.....

So with all of the Trumper freakout over Russian collusion and all of their denials -- their cult leader is basically saying that not only will he collude with Russia, Iran or any other foreign country that he thinks will help him win, but since he believes its in the best interest of the country -- there is nothing anyone can do about it -- are you really willing to give that power to future presidents or in your narcissistic delusions, do you think Trump will be president forever -- because why not? -- and no, there is no both sides do it -- so before you pull Obama, Hillary or anyone else out your ass, don't....this is your cult leader making this dumb ass argument, no one else...

I hope there aren't any NFL fans out there -- I hope you don't mind if the 49'ers decide to cheat because they feel its in the public interest that they win the Super Bowl -- so if they gotta cheat to do it, so be it...I believe you morons would demand more accountability from a fucking sports team cheating to win than you would the president of the US....

You start with a faulty premise and wander afield from there. If you had not posted perhaps no one would have known how clueless you are about the whole process.

No dumb ass -- the House reported on 3 articles of impeachment -- and Nixon had the same bitch ass republicans willing to deny all of the facts -- until the tapes came out -- the tapes he tried to block from being released...the same type of evidence that Trump is blocking..

The only reason you dic suckers concede to Nixon committing crimes is because you would look like a complete dumb ass if you thought otherwise...but there was no FOX news during Nixon's time -- if there were -- and if the Senate had the same level of sycophancy as they do now -- Nixon wouldn't have resigned and would have been acquitted

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

Nixon was impeached over an actual crime big difference.

Actually Nixon left office and never was impeached...

As for Trump Impeachment, well this will be studied and historians will note it was political as hell...

True but they were looking at an actual crime with him with Trump it has been let’s throw everything we can against the wall and hope something sticks.

Actually Trump call was wrong and in my opinion he ( Trump ) should have been censured for it and not Impeached and I know you will disagree but had it been Obama I would be saying the same thing.

I will admit Democrats and their voting base have been gunning for Trump for three plus years and believe me they are not done not by a country mile.

Democrats will regroup and focus on the 2020 election and hope the MSM will spin their talking points as McConnell covered for Trump and Trump will steal the November Election...

That way the Democrats can claim why they did not win in November is because Russia and Trump stole the election...

Watch, and see how the left lose their shit if Trump win, win the Popular Vote and win a Electoral College landslide victory...

Actually I do agree I don’t consider Trumps call perfect neither does it rise to an impeachment level action and censure would have been an appropriate response. By the way if this had been an Obama phone call or any other Democrat I would feel the same way impeachment is not something to be used in a trivial manner.

BAwahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha….

BULL SHIT!!

You dumb asses still claim Obama is the most corrupt blah blah blah in US history...yet he is the only guy in over 50 years to go 8 years without a single indictment....Trump couldn't go 8 minutes without 80 indictments and you telling me you would have thought the same about Obama if he felt he could enlist a foreign nation to run a smear campaign against an opponent?

Gtfoh

The only difference is that Trump is going to get away with this because he has a lockstep majority in the Senate

Which indicates the political foundation of the Democrats' nonsensical script. There's nothing there. No crime whatsoever.

You're right, there's no law against regular people holding up military aid to an ally in a war in order to get an announcement that a rival is being investigated. Just as there is no law against rich people sleeping under bridges. Thanks for the idiotic argument.

your TDS is so bad youre to fucking stupid to know nixon didnt put up a defense because he resigned,,,,

The House agreed to 3 articles of impeachment you moron....the reason he resigned was because his efforts to block EVIDENCE failed and when it came out..he resigned...

But before that point -- dic sucking republicans like you were still saying he did nothing wrong -- just like now..

If Nixon had Fox News back then, he wouldn't have to resign -- and if he had the level of sycophants in the Senate that we have now -- he wouldn't have been convicted in the Senate...

Which is why Roger Ailes (who was Nixon's political consultant) created Fox News...it was in direct reaction to Watergate and he was right, because it has morons like you making yourselves look stupid once again...

Why Fox News was created

Now refute a single word I said or shut the fuk up....

I don't think Trump is like Nixon.

Nixon never said Watergate was "the perfect break-in".

He didn't call for Vietnam to find dirt on his opponents.





Wow, I just noticed he solicited China's help in both videos. And he also asked China to investigate Warren.

They need to get transcripts of Trump's conversations with Putin, Mohammed bin Salman, and the Chinese. And also Erdogan, who I suspect is blackmailing Trump.

White House restricted access to Trump's calls with Putin and Saudi crown prince - CNNPolitics

[task0778]

Nobody is saying that the president can do whatever he wants. That is total bullshit. If a president engages in illegalities, he can be impeached, end of story. He doesn't get to do whatever he wants if it's illegal to do so. BUT - if he doesn't do anything illegal, that's a different story. All 3 prior impeachments dealt with presidents who committed a crime, but Trump has not been accused of that.

Now - it there's no crime, then it gets a little dicey to impeach a president, or at least remove him from office. If a president does something that is considered to be wrong but still legal, then does it rise to the level of an impeachable offense? Where's the high crimes and misdemeanors if it ain't illegal? Dershowitz claims in such cases it isn't impeachable. Personally I don't know that I'd go that far; but in Trump's case it is possible that he had "mixed motives" - a personal benefit but also legitimate reasons. In that situation we don't have sufficient grounds to impeach him, let alone remove him from office.

[Dr Grump]

Great thread OP. Love it. Exactly. And this is the biggest crack up of all. Conservative Americans love this political system. They call British citizens 'subjects' whereas the powers of a US president almost seem tyrannical in some aspects and the Deplorables lap it up. Total hypocrites and contradicting themselves all the time. "We love freedom, but don't mind giving all this power to one person."

Bizarre...

What evidence? I’ve heard none. So he’s a bad guy, but Biden hooking his son up is a good guy? Everyone knew about it, just looked the other way. You are citing nothing. Nothing against you, you wouldn’t be able to. Nor have the Democrats. If can see anything good in shitt, schrumer, polosi, nads, etc, more power to you. You want to talk about incompetent vindictive people who are antisocial with criminal mentality. Doesn’t get much worse. I wouldn’t piss on them, if they were on fire.

This is why democrats should forfeit their voting privileges. Stupid!
Watergate began with a crime that created a path directly to Nixon.
This stupid democrat impeachment thing begins with Trump and is looking for a path to a nonexistent crime.
Morons! Democrats are morons!
