Trump's people won't defend him

[BULLDOG]

McConnell has to prevent any testimony in the impeachment trial, because Trump's people don't want to try to defend him in sworn testimony. It was easy for them to not appear before the house investigation because Trump didn't want them to testify, but he wants his people to stand up and vigorously defend him in the trial. Those potential witnesses are still afraid of being caught in lies, or not being energetic enough in their defense of Trump. It's just too much of a chance for them to take. McConnell has to either prevent everybody from testifying, or try to explain why Trump's people are a no show.

You must have a really great crystal ball

the fact is trump needs no defense

your side has the burden of proof

McConnell already said proof doesn't matter. The fix is in. The right should be proud that your party openly laughs at the thought that you might show some integrity. Everybody knows you have no integrity to show.

Proof of what? You Stalinists charged him with nothing. This entire farce is meant to interfere with the 2020 election, it has no other purpose. It's not an impeachment, just election tampering.

I am a trump supporter

And that precludes any hint of integrity.

You think that justifies his disregard of ethics and the law?

 

[daveman]

Has anyone on the R side even tried to defend his actions, what is alleged in the articles of impeachment?

personally, I'd rather see the R's not defend his actions, say they were wrong, but just believe they do not rise to a ''removal from office'' level...

than to obfuscate and make up false stories, which only weakens us and our Nation...

It's you folks pushing false BS, actors in Ukraine tried to influence the 2016 election, their sitting ambassador to the US, at the time, wrote an op-ed to a US paper against Trump. He was justified in asking Zelensky to look into it. Also shit stinks to high heaven around the Bidens, Trump asked for cooperation with the AG concerning them. You can't show me one quote in the call transcript where Trump literally asked for something for himself.

.

By asking (actually demanding) that an investigation be "Announced" about his main political rival IS something for himself. And then dangling the carrot to get it. The fact that he got caught doing it very quickly doesn't change the fact that the demand was made. Then he tried to cover it up. Nixon was going to be Impeached for doing less and had the sense to resign for the good of the Nation. Rump doesn't care about what's good for the Nation. He only cares about what he believes is good for Rump and the Nation be damned.

Never-Trumpers don't care about what is good for the nation. They only wan the man that hurt their feelings out of office. If voting was based on results/metrics alone, the 2020 would be an absolute landslide victory for Trump, but unfortunately, hurt feelings by Democrats also play a role.

You still don't get it. Rumps days are past. he needs to just go away for the good of the nation.

Win the election. Then he'll be gone.

Oh, wait -- you can't win the election. You don't have a credible, serious candidate. But whining that ITS NOT FAIR MOM SAID ITS OUR TURN IN THE WHITE HOUSE is childish.

Sucks to be you, don't it?

 

[Daryl Hunt]

It does not matter. Trump's staff could testify Trump shot someone on Fifth Avenue, provide documentary evidence (photos of the crime scene with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was for...), and the Monkey Jim Jordan and his band of screeching simians would pound the table and argue about process, then not one of them would vote to impeach.

Nor would the Republicans in the Senate convict.

McConnell: 'I'm Not Impartial' About Impeachment

Once again, no crimes committed so no witnesses needed.
This is purely a political trial; NOT A CRIMINAL TRIAL!

It's the same thing as a CEO being called in front of the Board. No crimes need be done. But job performance and Company Policy comes to play. And yes, in a Corporate Business, there is quite a bit of Politics involved in who gets hired and who gets fired. Rump is being called in front of the Board. And he's losing fast these days. And the harder you and yours tries to cover for him, the deeper you and yours gets. Moderates are starting to speak out. Moderates normally don't care one way or another who is or who isn't President but this time around, Moderates are getting involved. And that scares the living crap out of The Criminal In Charge and his merry band of criminals. So keep spouting off and the more Moderates will get involved.

No.
It's not the same, Fruit Loops.

I can always tell when I hit it right on the head of the nail. You people always go to one world rebuttals followed by insults. You lose. The game is lost. Pack your bags. Pack it in. Hope you have cab fare.

Last time I checked, corporate boards do not have two partisan chambers in their structural make-up that a CEO answers to.
So, not the same.
Go suck a bag O' dicks!

Both sides of the Board are constantly trying to control the other side and get their boy into the Chairman seat. And there are always two sides.

Trump will forever be marked with not only being impeached, but even worse, the unethical behavior of his followers to cheat his way out of any responsibility. History won't be kind to him or his enablers.

 

[daveman]

Why didn’t the Dimms call the the witnesses they want the Senate to call?

We have seen the testimony and Schiff’s report. What else needs to be done?

OP, who do you want to testify before the senate and why didn’t they testify before the house? Be specific. Names and reasons.

Jurors look at the evidence. They don’t call new witnesses.

Easy answer. The Witnesses they wanted, Rump declared Executive Privilege and barred them from testifying. The House did what it could with what was left. The problem is, if the House were to take it to court, it would have been at least 2 years of court battle, many millions of dollars before it could be resolved. And given the nixon days, those excluded witnesses would be compelled to testify but Rump could have tied it up for years in court. Another free ride for Rump.

So you're blaming Trump because the house was lazy and tried to take the easy way out? You're not very damn smart, are ya?

.

I am blaming the Republicans in Congress that did not force the issue to get those people to testify. Simple as that. This is damned serious where Rump decides that Congress has no powers at all even though the Constitution says they do. Shades of Italy, 1936. While an accused person cannot be compelled to testify against themselves nor can their spouse, all others are not afforded that right. And if a President uses his office to block them from testifying then that's another case or cases of Presidential Powers abuse. And that is what one of the Impeachment Points is all about. And if you can't see that then we need to completely dissolve congress and the Supreme Court and just make Rump King which is what he wants in the first place. Sorry, but we already fought a war over that.

Blame whom ever you wish. The fact is only the courts have the power to rule if a claim of executive privilege is valid. The commies said they couldn't wait. Sometimes when you try to shortcut the process you find yourself at a dead end. That's exactly where the commie are, deal with it.

.

Yah, they courts will finally rule after numerous court challenges AFTER Rump would have left office after 8 years and he would be still as guilty as he is now and his band of criminals would still go to prison. Rump won't go to prison over any of this but his band of criminals will sooner or later. They aren't just protecting the Criminal in Charge, they are trying to delay things hoping that everyone will forget.

No one's going to forget. Too many whiny bitches sniveling.

Oh, hey, Daryl.

Independents dont want this charade. More and more going to Trump every day. Your stupidity is noted and expected. Trump will roll to re-election and you will cry some more. Enjoy.

Except, in the new Polls yesterday, the Impeachment support went back to 52% versus 36% against. What that means is, the 36% is the Party of the Rump fanatical member supporters. The Moderates want the Impeachment but don't really support the Senate Trial. Sounds like Nancy is making headway by not presenting it to the Senate. Moderates are speaking loudly and that is the largest voting stock. November is coming and it appears that the Dems are going to present a Moderate as a Candidate, either Biden or Mayor Pete. Either one kicks Rumps ass.

You have a very Merry Christmas, Comrade.

 

[daveman]

Trump supporters are dug in on Trump. Trump haters are dug in on Trump.

dont waste your time trying to change people's minds, my friends!

The good news is, the polls taken yesterday reversed themselves and it doesn't look real good for Rump. He's back to going backwards in support and the ones that wanted the Impeachment has gone up to 52% versus 36%. His support has dropped back to less than 48 again and is falling fast with the number that wants him gone are rising to over 50%. The good news is, the Republican Senators acceptance is dropping even faster. But they started at just over 20% so it's a real hard thing to get it to go lower but they figured out a way, in the last few days to accomplish that.

Where do you acquire all of this bullshit? We all know it is bullshit because you never post links to where you didn't find this crap!

USA Today. But I forget, Rush doesn't want you reading anything that he and Hannity didn't write.

USA Today? Did they include a nice pie chart?

With Trump, nothing is beyond his ego. Why do you think it is unreasonable for Pelosi to ask for a fair trial?

Pelosi doesn't want a fair trial. She wants her kangaroo court rubber-stamped.

And so do you.

A fair trial in the Senate would be nice. Senators should honor their oaths to deliver impartial justice.

If Donald Trump had any evidence to defend himself he would have already presented it.

They will, they can't convict when no crime is alleged.

.

Impeachment doesn't require a crime.

Donald Trump is guilty of abuse of power and obstructing Congress.

Presidential pardons, Presidential immunity and executive privilege could all be considered forms of executive abuse of power. Only idiots or totalitarians think abuse of power is an impeachable offense. And the obstruction of congress article is even more dangerous. That's like claiming congress has no checks against its power. Somewhere along the line Democrats forgot our constitution and the responsibilities involved in being an American.

A constant stream of lies from Trump is an abuse of power and an insult to morality.

Donald Trump is a septic hemorrhoid on Uncle Sam's anus.

The Senate Reps have already said that they will not give a fair hearing. So what's the use. The House just keeps it on tap and present it later on next year for your pleasure. And they present it all, not just what is in the Impeachment papers. That also seems to be what 52% of the Voters want as well. It sucks that your criminals can't control things and Nancy just pulled the football away once again, Comrade Charlie Brown.

And to all of the ph uk up politicians who have screwed over the civilian population and keep getting reelected in certain districts, what happens to them? Look at Pelosi and Obamacare. That alone means she should have left in disgrace. The reaming citizens took from that went halfway up the stomach.

Considering that the Reps have blocked the fixing of the ACA (and we all know it needs to be fixed) every step of the way and have stripped it which costs the taxpayer tons of money in the process, you think it's the Dems fault? Hate to break it to you but the promise of a better system from the Reps is now long overdue and past it's sell by date. It's now up to the Dems to get things done. And it sounds like Biden and Mayor Pete are on the right track. And Warren and Bernie are just pissing in the breeze. Both Biden and Mayor Pete have talked about their way of getting it done that makes sense. All we get out of you Party of the Rumpers is, "Someday, I Promise, we'll have a better system".

Didn't you traitors have full control in the house to present any witnesses you wanted, yet still couldn't manage to present any fact witnesses and just stuck to defamation by Marxist academics?

So we have a faux impeachment, with no crimes or misdemeanors even alleged, put out for the specific purpose of influencing and altering the 2020 election. Gross abuse of power by the house Communists.

To compound it, Nancy Pelosi and her Communist party are violating the Constitution by refusing to move the process to the Senate, obstructing congress.

So these traitor democrats have abused power and obstructed Congress in order to rig the 2020 election.

GOP lawmakers are just immoral, mindless, parasites that infest Donald Trump's anus.

Nevertheless, their testimony should be heard for the sake of the American people and history.

Why didn't you Communists call them into your Star Chamber or with your Stalinist Show Trial?

Let's call Hunter Biden. After all, this whole farce is based on the fact that Joe Biden sent $1.8 billion to Burisma, which promptly vanished, right as they kicked back $3.2 million through Hunter. Let's call Eric Ciaramella, get him to testify under oath as to the first time he met with Lying Schitt, when the plot to frame up the president was cooked up with Mark Zaid. Let's call Adam Schitt's chief of staff and find out when Schitt first proposed using impeachment as a means of influencing the 2020 election?

You commie fuckers want to play? Ah but Nazi Pelosi is obstructing congress by withholding the faux impeachment. Hey, the whole thing is an abuse of power designed to corrupt our election, so no surprise she is trying to drag it out.

Let's call Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, Donald Jr., and Eric and waterboard them to get their confession of pillaging and plundering while the orange man fiddles.

Yup. You definitely need at CAT scan. There's something wrong in your head.

According to your phrenologist?
