Why aren't the Republicans in Congress trying to impeach the fake president?

[Turtlesoup]

I don't watch as much news as i once did... (sigh)

but I do follow news... Breitbart.. Fox... Newsmax

In any case, regardless of all that... Why aren't the Rs trying to impeach the faker in chief who actually IS guilty of something (as opposed to Trump whom they constantly attacked and vilified for no reason)

head scratcher..

any insights woiuld be appreciated (except those from lefties... too lacking in cred)

They need to get Joe's Ho at the same time and have Pelosi replaced as speaker of the house which should be accomplished after the november elections.

(This isn't saying that the republicans are smart enough or are free enough from the swamp influence to do this---but they need to take out both of them at the same time.)

 

[Turtlesoup]

They presently lack a majority. It is pointless because they won’t have. 2/3rds
senate majority anyway. And besides, it’s all bullshit until he commits a high crime or misdemeanor.

Biden has been selling out the country for bribes for DECADES--they got him---except that most of congress has been doing a lot of the same shit---so if Biden goes down for his crimes, then so to will the dirt of the others also doing it.

About that. See, that's not news. That's bullshit.

 

[Frankeneinstein]

What would they impeach him for?

Collusion? I'm pretty sure ya don't even need proof for that

 

[Frankeneinstein]

Trump warned ya

 

[Cecilie1200]

I disagree. He needs to be tried in public so the evidence can be seen by all. He wouldn't be removed and we all know it but that shouldn't stop the process of publicly drawing attention to his crimes.

And you're assuming that the public would hear the evidence against him because why? That would rather require the media to report on it honestly, wouldn't it?

 

[Cecilie1200]

They will not be able to stop it in the House. It only requires a simple majority and the Rs look to be winning in historic numbers this November. I agree that there would never be a required 2/3 in the Senate but Biden will be impeached and his dereliction of duty and criminal behavior regarding corruption will be made available for the nation to see and judge. As such, it is well worthwhile to pursue Impeachment.

It's going to depend not only on how many seats the GOP takes, but what kind of GOP people get elected. If we get a whole bunch of establishment empty suits like Mitt Romney, it's going to be an ineffectual mess.

 

[BS Filter]

The only thing missing is the evidence...

The evidence that Joe Biden is in cognitive decline is evident every day, yet Democrats deny it. You guys deny everything.

 

[The Original Tree]

What would they impeach him for?

Treason, Insurrection, Sedition, Election Fraud, Incompetence, Mental Derangement and Deterioration, Negligence, and Russian-CCP Chicom Collusion.

We don't have a majority yet. Maybe after that.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

yes, but that's kind of beside the point

they need to know that when they pull the fake, political impeachment trick... it may be deja vu some day...

u know... what goes around comes around....

Juvenile attitude...


MOMMY THEY DID IT TOO!


This is why we swing like a pendulum politically. Neither party is capable of acting like responsible and fiscally sane people

You could try balancing your news by looking at sites that expand your information.

Was not for Trumps impeachment would not be for Biden's. We are tearing down the system that has worked from the beginning of our country.& never perfect, as anything created by humans never is. As it becomes more political party over country disaster loams.

Which is why the most important election in this country are the primaries.

 

[Cecilie1200]

They need control of the House first. Do you really want Kameltoe as President?

Personally, I really want her impeached, as well. If her utter incompetence isn't enough, we could start with lending aid and comfort to the domestic terrorists known as BLM and Antifa.

Utah could definitely do the entire nation a solid by opening their tone-deaf ears and realizing that being a Mormon doesn't preclude Romney from also being a useless piece of shit.

And you think that's defined as what, exactly?

And you think that's defined as what, exactly?

The Constitution says what is impeachable. The Constitution doesn’t always define its terms. But like Justice Stewart said of pornography, we know it when we see it.

I do know that it is supposed to require more than just the making of allegations. The Dims didn’t care about that when they went after President Trump. My concern is that the GOP shouldn’t behave like the Dims.

Investigation should precede allegation. Evidence should be carefully screened. And, then only, if the evidence warrants the making of an accusation, fine: Cry “HAVOC!”, and let slip the dogs of war.

If it's one thing most of us learned in life, it's that if a bully punches you every day, the only way to get him to stop is to punch him back harder. Until Trump we've been the nice guy who finds a note on the back of his pants that says KICK ME and does nothing in retaliation to the person who put it there. They will do the same thing tomorrow.

Trump's first impeachment was based on Thought Police. Trump asked for a favor of another leader, and the Communists made claim he was trying to shake him down even though nothing in the transcript points to it. The second phony impeachment didn't even have a hearing outside of the Communists. Trump was not there and had no representation whatsoever. Trump never told anybody to riot, and as an American, reserves his right to free speech like any of us.

The Communists are scared to death of Trump. He's been out of office nearly a year and a half and they're still conducting witch hunts. This has never happened in the history of our country.

Impeach Dementia for eating a ham sandwich as far as I'm concerned. If we don't, the Communists will never learn their lesson and do the exact same thing to whoever our next leader is that they believe is a grave threat to their dominance. As Rambo said in the first movie "I didn't draw first blood sir!"

That's a nice backpedal.

In fact, the Constitution is quite clear about impeachment parameters. The problem is that modern-day Americans have become uneducated doofuses who don't know what the phrase means, interpret it according to their narrow understanding, and then want to get all vague when they're challenged to explain what they think it means.

"High crimes and misdemeanors" is a phrase with a legal definition going all the way back to English Common Law. It is applies specifically to those who hold public office. It does include criminal activity, but it also includes misuse and abuse of power.

Furthermore, impeachment itself IS supposed to be a review of allegations. It is akin to a political version of a grand jury indictment. Admittedly, it should involve more substantiation to support those allegations than the Democrats wanted or needed with Donald Trump. But the full inquiry into the allegations belongs to the Senate hearing on removal. As far as that's concerned, the system worked for Trump as it should, by dismissing the flimsy, unproven accusations.

It was no back pedal whatsoever. It’s not clear you’ve followed the conversation.

Your problem includes your lack of a grasp of (or appreciation for) the fact that the House makes the decision and they have a bad habit. They place politics over fidelity to the intent of the Framers. As we have seen, they can accuse a President of an “abuse” of power simply for resorting to the use of power. If we’re being honest, politicians can be worms and charge such an abuse of power for no good reason at all. Just political posturing.

Impeachment, is a formal accusation. It follows an investigation — in theory. It is NOT supposed to BE the “investigation.” Your formulation has things very bass ackwards. The Senate sits as a jury. Juries don’t conduct investigations. They pass judgment ON the evidence.

Trump shouldn’t have been impeached at all. And if the GOP wants to play cheap partisan tit for tat games, they can behave in the same cheap-ass fashion as schmucks like Schiff. I’d prefer they not become the odious critters those Dim hacks have shown themselves to be.

You are free to disagree.
