Politics Happy Impeachment Eve!

They need to do some sort of research/case study on the psychology of the trump cult because it’s amazing. He literally has become a god to people and at one point we would say they’d love him unless he was caught murdering someone in the middle of the street. But at this point I honestly don’t think that would change their minds. They’d blame the murder victim or say it wasn’t really a murder. It is scary. That many dumb and ignorant people? And of all people to submit to, the lying, pussy grabbing, below average intellect one? Very weird.

 

I hate Trump with a passion and want his butt out of office, but let's get real here. The Democrats in the House have a clear conscience? Seems questionable to me because nothing touts America's rule of law like a process where your political adversaries have total control of the so-called investigative stage, only allow their witnesses to testify, consistently leak things to the press during the "investigation", finally have a straight partisan vote to impeach, and, once the charges are filed, then threaten to hold the whole process up so that the accused is denied a trial. Yeah, I'd be proud to have that on my conscience. And as far as public support, the polls would seem to differ with your assessment:

There's a lot of road in front between now and November, but the Democrats seem to be making it more likely that we get four more years of Trump. Morons.

 

AND THEY ALL ARE POOR AND LIVE IN TRAILER PARKS. YOU ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN THEM. IMAGINE IF YOU COULD CONTROL THEM ALL!

 

I know, right?

 

I honestly think about 80% of the population is absolutely useless. Politics be damned.

 

wait. So every republican they wanted to testify gladly accepted / White House agreed to? Or they said nah we’re good we aren’t testifying? Seems like quite a few just declined. Refusing to cooperate?

 

Mr. Natt (loved your game, BTW), I was clearly referring to requests by Republican members of the House to call witnesses of their own. Mr. Schiff declined to allow that to happen. Regarding the White House making use of claims of Executive Privilege to deny certain subpoenaed witnesses to testify, the House had a clear path to take that to court to force compliance, but declined to do so. Much too big of a hurry, you see, and the vote was in the bag anyway. Of course, now that the impeachment vote is done, that hurry seems to have evaporated. Curious.

 

They only cared to impeach so they can put a stain on Trump's Legacy, because honestly, that's the only thing they could do. They could care less about anything else. They care not about the country, patriotism, their civic duty. This was just them being mad about Trump as a person and him winning in 2016 and being able to say that he was impeached. Nothing more.

This was never genuine. It was just about slapping a label on Trump.

 

Trump does more than enough on a daily basis to stain his "legacy". He hardly needs help from House Democrats.

This whole debacle proves that there is a glaring need for one or more new political party(ies). The Clinton impeachment was pretty much a straight line partisan vote, as was this Trump impeachment. Having three or more parties would, hopefully, force the process to be somewhat less partisan.

 

meh. Not true. They didn’t create this, he did. How about he and his followers take some accountability for this? You can’t do what he did. Why is this hard to accept? There is ZERRRRO doubt that if Obama did this you all would be doing the same. The hypocrisy is astounding

 

Create what? There is nothing. This is such a sham.

 

I absolutely agree that if Obama had acted like this and done the things Trump has done Republicans would be losing their minds. The one thing I find fascinating and we'll never know is if everything was completely reversed would the Democrats be looking to block impeachment as well (in the senate).

 

Donald?...dat you?

 

Hm.

 

We'll never know just as you said...but I think today is a bit of a hangover for Reps and there are a lot of knee jerk reactions. But I also think that after the dusts settles somewhat and people have more time to digest what has transpired, things will be viewed differently as part of the bigger picture.

 

You already said that once, and you were wrong then too.

 

Trump is the third party.

Now we need to replace the two thoroughly corrupt parties with legitimate representatives of the people.
