NoCalMike Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Considering the Republicans have the votes to acquit Trump in the Senate anyway, it seems like going the short trial-no witnesses route would be an idiotic thing to do because it would double-down on the idea that they have no interest into looking into this with good faith. So by all means, please do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatBuzz Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I’m enjoying watching the Republicans remind the Dems that the Dems need to think about what they do and remember they will one day be in the minority. Wonder if the Republicans in the Senate will remember that sentiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consistency is not a trait https://www.foxnews.com/politics/nadler-then-now-1998-video-impeachment Quote There must never be a narrowly voted impeachment or an impeachment supported by one of our major political parties and opposed by the other,” he had said before warning of dire consequences if Republicans moved on with their push. “Such an impeachment will produce a divisiveness and bitterness in our politics for years to come and will call into question the very legitimacy of our political institutions,” he said.

My whole platform was going to be, I will let other Republicans do whatever the **** they want. I’m not going to ****foot around it. We all know that’s what we’re doing here. I’m just going to come out and say it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said in regards to the second two points Nadler made there... 1) I think pretty much any objective observer with a functional frontal lobe can look at the current situation with Trump and come to the conclusion that it's FAR more of a dire threat to our system of government or constitutional liberties than Clinton lying about getting a blowjob. 2) There does seem to be something of a consensus of the American people in this instance. It isn't "overwhelming", but polls have consistently shown the nation split or with a slim majority wanting Trump impeached and removed from office. It's WAY higher than it was at any point during Clinton's impeachment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsFan44 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 By definition impeachment removes a duly elected POTUS. That argument is really tired. As to people having strong negative opinions of him from the start,see Cruz and Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't fight it out like Billy Badass with his .357 pretends. More likely they will anonymously firebomb churches or community centers, target Jews, Hispanics, African Americans.. you know,, sort of like they are already doing. Maybe they learn some of those nice terrorist tactics we've been worried about coming from outsiders. A bomb beside a road or inside a market doesn't really seem like it takes a genius to plan or to pull off. As i have learned and stated many times; When someone threatens, you'd better listen. I hear direct threats, and I see actions as well. Best believe them. We are incredulous, incapable of recognizing it can happen here, and is happening here in the beginning stages. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
