Politics Impeaching Trump Would Let American People Off The Hook

I never took it as any malice intended and just merely informed him I never had pancakes when he told me to go have more. I guess he jumped to conclusions based on use of an emoticon.

Yeah, the weather is changing quickly and maybe no Indian summer this year. It's Oregon so you never know what might be coming next few weeks though. I remember one fall back when I was an avid water skier the news guy claimed at the later part of September that we won't see the 90's again this year and few weeks later in October it was 90 and I was out on the water carving it up. Always loved the long summers in those days.

 

No reason to apologize abm. I would suggest not taking the emoticons so literally though.

 

I just love messing with you as you're such a willing participant. Remember, this coming from a dude in a "Euge!" political minority in these parts!

All good, though, Sir. We're probably both a lot alike in many other ways and would actually enjoy sitting down and having a beer or two together.....hopefully, without the mention of politics.

 

as do I with you.

I seldom talk politics outside the house and in the past, seldom ever did before until the idiot in the seat now as I want a better world for my kids and grandkids and future generations and I see nothing in this president that will do that. He is clearly the worst president of my generation.

 

How do our resident Republicans explain being livid about Colin Kaepernick taking a knee but Trump and Rudy etc sucking the dicks of Russia?

 

Pompeo has now been subpoenaed, as well...

We had a wrestling move called the pancake but I didn't even like that move.
Pancakes are okay if I don't have to eat them more than once a year or I have plenty of crisp bacon to go with them.

 

I didn't even notice the emoticons.

 

I love this. Chris was the best....

 

For Trump to be fully impeached (ousted), wouldn't that required a 2/3 vote in the Senate? I'm not totally up on my impeachment knowledge, but I think that's correct.

 

Yes

 

That’s a stretch. I think he was calling out those who criticize him the most. Including two white people. Not everything is a Klan rally, despite what white rich kids from Los Angeles tell you.

 

So far, there is no impeachment, and likely it will never even get started as it can't pass a vote in the House.

Without a legitimate and positive vote in favor of impeachment, no subpoena of witnesses is valid. Now that we know Schiff lied for 2 months and was actually involved in the formation of the 3rd-party "whistleblower" complaint and it's fairytale version of the call has been 100% disproven, we await the results of the legitimate investigations currently in progress exposing the Deep State Russian hoax, the attempts at rigging our 2016 election, the current attempts at rigging our 2020 election (including this fake impeachment charade), the traitors still embedded in our intelligence community, and their accomplices in the Fake News.

Andy McCarthy calls out Dems' 'Kabuki theater': There are no subpoenas and no impeachment inquiry
By Julia Musto | Fox News

House Democrats' impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump is all but "Kabuki theater at this point,' former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andy McCarthy said Friday.

Appearing on "America's Newsroom" with host Bill Hemmer, McCarthy argued that the way the media is reporting on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's probe is "simply inaccurate about what's going on."

"For example, this whole idea that there is an impeachment inquiry: there's not. The idea that there are subpoenas: there aren't. And, I think a lot of people are consuming it as if it were true on face value and I really think if I were the White House what I would be worried about is breaking through that," McCarthy told Hemmer.

In an op-ed in The Hill, McCarthy wrote that congressional Democrats, to the contrary, are instead conducting the 2020 political campaign: "Democrats are mulishly determined to ram through an article of impeachment or two, regardless of whether the State Department and other agencies cooperate in the farce. Their base wants the scarlet-letter 'I' (impeachment) attached to Trump. The party hopes to rally the troops for the 2020 campaign against Trump...If Democrats truly thought they had a case, they wouldn't be in such a rush---they'd want everyone to have time to study it. But they don't have a case, so instead they're giving us a show."

House Democrats launched a formal impeachment inquiry into the president after a whistleblower complaint suggested the president, during a July phone call with his Ukrainian counterpart, tried to induce officials there to investigate Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and their business dealings in that country.

"The question here is, was there a corrupt quid pro quo?" the Fox News contributor asked.

On Thursday, the Trump administration confirmed with Fox News that they will send Pelosi a letter "daring" her to hold a vote on the impeachment inquiry.

The letter will say that the White House won't comply with the Democrats' investigation because Pelosi hasn't codified the probe with a formal vote on the House floor. The letter will mirror the tone of a letter House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., sent to the speaker on Thursday.

"I think it's the right thing for him to do," Andy McCarthy said. "The Constitution reposes the power to impeach solely in the House. Not in the Speaker of the House, the House."

McCarthy said it would actually benefit the House if it wanted to go into court and try to enforce any information demands: "The first thing a court's going to want to know is, 'Has the House voted to have an impeachment inquiry?' And, a lot hinges on that, including how much expansion a court would give a president's claim of executive privilege and privilege over matters that are in the president's duties under Article II.

"If they really have grounds to seek the president's impeachment, they not only should have a vote because it's in their interests when they go to court to have a vote, they should be proud to have a vote," McCarthy added.

He concluded: "If [House Democrats] really think they have grounds to remove the President of the United States from power, then the House should speak as one as an institution and vote that way."

 

Oh it's started sweetheart.

what are the odds he will be impeached by the House?

We know we have spineless republicans in the senate.
