I’m a little surprised that there isn’t a running thread on here about every development in the Senate impeachment trial. Then again, I guess it’s like trying to get excited about a mystery novel when you already know who done it. I’m glancing at headlines and watching a couple of YouTube clips a day. Maybe fifteen minutes total. How about you?
Since I already know that the turtle is going to help the orange get off here, (tho he will still be an impeached president), I don't care to watch or listen. Why get myself up for disappointment.
The lynch Trump party started the day he took office. The question now becomes. Did Trump con his way into enough rope to hang himself? The two party system at its worst.
Burn out. The Mueller shit didn't pan out for the dems so here we are. People don't really care anymore. Its the Boy Who Cried Wolf, in real time.
I have it on with the sound off. I glance up occasionally. Kinda like a baseball game. Ya look up if something seemingly interesting is happening.
"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else." Theodore Roosevelt
Must be why 70% of the people say there should be witnesses and documents presented in the senate hearing. The sham is in the way this trial is being manipulated to avoid the truth.
"When a man unprincipled in private life desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper, possessed of considerable talents, having the ability of military habits—despotic in his ordinary demeanor—known to have scoffed in private at the principles of liberty—when such a man is seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity—to join in the cry of danger to liberty—to take every opportunity of embarrassing the General Government & bringing it under suspicion—to flatter and fall in with all the non sense of the zealots of the day—It may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may 'ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.'" Alexander Hamilton
70% of who? Democrats out to get Trump? What witnesses and documents, only those they deem relevant themselves? There is no "truth" here. Both sides have an agenda and they are both assholes for their own personal glory. They give zero fucks about the country, they just want themselves to look good and grandstand. Fuck them all.
You can't actually believe your posts...can you? BEFORE Trump took office he was as shady as they come. He has never been a good guy: cheating on taxes and wives, lying and abusing and slimeballing etc. The only difference now is that Republicans have hitched their carts to his pony. Mueller's report wasn't a failure. The failure was that we've given the Executive Branch way too much leeway. The truth, Mr El Presidente, is that Trump has destroyed the Republican party. There is no debate that he is a disgrace to humanity, but now he's dragged all that follow down into the hole that he's in. Best of luck getting out in the years to come.
Trump isn't a good guy, but neither are the dems or republicans. He's a dick. So are all the politicians. They are all scumbag shitbags. They all suck. I care very little about politics to be honest. Because all of them are assholes. "Destroyed the republican party". Give me a fucking break, both parties are broken, and if you can't see that you are part of the problem. Look at these dipshits the democrats are parading around for President, they are a joke. The huge waste of space these politicians are is being exposed for all to see.
The House bungled their handling of the impeachment so badly that it’s really hard to make that argument with a straight face. They subpoenaed a bunch of people from Trump’s inner circle, then failed to fight his claims of executive privilege through the courts because of the need to avoid delay, and then Pelosi sits on the articles for almost a month? And now they want to use the Senate process to get the testimony that they should have obtained in the House?
I suppose you could just as justifiably say all humans are scumbag shitbags. But there is a range. Some of us are less scumbag shitbags than others. Making excuses for the biggest shitbags is not something that helps anyone. barfo
Asking for witnesses and documents is in your opinion an agenda? Lol. Just like all prosecutors when charging someone with a crime maybe? Who usually wants witnesses and documents (or more commonly known as "evidence") hidden from view? The innocent, right? Gtfo. The giving zero fucks people are those, like you, who vacillate between "he did nothing wrong" and "they all do wrong." People wonder why politics are no longer civil, but it's bullshit like this, this disingenuous snark, fucking it all up.
