POLITICAL THREAD

How will they rule ??!

  • YES - Qualified

    Votes: 9 18.0%

  • Total voters
    50
  • Poll closed .
McConnell is in charge of this procedure. He does have to bring things to a vote in certain matters but he is in charge. What he is doing is getting or trying to get (I hope he is trying as I do not fully trust him either.) 51 (A simple majority) votes to eliminate any testimony/ witnesses. IF he does not get that simple majority witnesses can be called by both parties.

I am almost sure McConnell can except or reject witnesses on an individual basis though each party can or would submit a list of witnesses they want to testify. (How those are determined at that point i am not sure but I think McConnell still has the last word in anything that happens in this action.

I hope I didn't confuse further...
Shouldn’t the 4 democrats currently running for president be recusing themselves from any and all of this? Talk about a conflict of interest. Would them being recused change the number of votes needed for a simple majority?
 
I am also looking for Mike Pence in all this. Yes the demosocialcommunists tried pulling Pence into all this and as the VP I'd sure start going on the offensive too since the demosocialcommunists drew first blood but Noooooo.... Where is he???

Kind of sick of elected officials cowering to the press. President Trump has shown you do not have to cower. If only a few more with any sort of spine would jump into the fry this horrible excuse for the Demosocialcommunist media could be nutered. they will never stop because they are not prosecuted using a false narrative of freedom of the press as their shield. Sorry it is not free to lie, steal, kill, and harm. No way that could stand up in court as to how the media operates IF someone would only stand up along side President Trump... Hello???

Mike Pence was quick to tell all what he liked about this President in several ways. If that is true why not fight with him??? Why? Ted Cruz fights a little as does Rand Paul a little and they were staunchly against President Trump during the campaign and President Trump hit them very hard BUT, they seem to be men and doing what is best for the country though they need to do more...Much more!
You don’t hear from him because he’s an afterthought like all VP’s. How do you think Biden was able to get away with all the Ukraine and other shenanigans. Nobody pays attention. All of it was under the radar because nobody give two shits what the VP is up to day to day.

That would be the right thing to do as they are actually acting as a jurist, not a Senator. This is a conflict of interest if anything is a conflict of interest. So before the trial began Trump was down four. Automatic. This is partial politics not "justice" or wanting the truth so we live with it.

Trump will use this to his advantage.

You'd think...if the shoe were on the other foot you'd hear nothing but recuse stories from the media. Ole dufus Sessions is a staunch believer in listening to demosocialcommunists. He actually probably got President Trump on the presidential map as a viable candidate then caved due solely to a stupid "media" perception to where he MUST recuse himself... How utterly stupid of a smart man...

Understood but President Trump picked Mike Pence as a different sort and Mike Pence knew it. I sure hope he doesn't let president Trump down when President Trump really needs him...(We shall see..Who knows how deep the swamp goes...)

A man does what he needs to do.

No R politicians should ever talk to the media at this point. Just go straight to the people through twitter or whatever the most efficient platform is to reach people at that point in time.

I can’t tell you the last time I watched a minute of a news channel. I seek out multiple sources on the internet, as I know anything parroted on tv is heavily biased and skewed to a certain narrative.

Does anyone actually sit around and watch the news for news anymore? With the world at your fingertips, I can’t imagine anyone listens to those clowns on tv for news rather than entertainment. And there are a million more entertaining options these days.

I may be wrong, and statistics may show otherwise, but to the point, the media should be treated like the DNC mouthpiece they are.
I have been preaching this for years. A biased press did not begin with Trump. This same press hammered Mitt Romney when he was running against Obama. They made him seem like a criminal. Now he is their darling if for just a season.

Any Republican who goes on these news channels and gets destroyed deserves it. And that includes Fox News. Chris Wallace, Juan Williams and several others hate Trump and any one who supports or defends them. So just stay away and do something constructive and arguing with biased news people is not constructive

I just heard Lindsay Graham say he recommended John Bolton to President Trump. Trump hired Bolton after Graham lobbied for Bolton's hiring. Trump's instinct was to be cautious but he was also trying to be inclusive. I keep thinking in the back of my mind that Lindsay Graham was the best of friends to the biggest Never Trumper of all, John McCain. Lindsay was a critic of Trump until McCain died then he became all buddy, buddy. If I am Trump I keep an eye on Graham from this point forward.

I always wondered what Trump was thinking bringing the war monger, swamp dweller into the inner circle of the administration. Thanks a lot Graham. Your boy put the screws to Trump and the American people from the first day. He is as dangerous as a cotton mouth. In his second term, Trump will have this experience and should keep his distance from Never Trumpers and not bring any of them into the administration. Lesson learned

I also look for Trump to clean house in the Justice and State Department. That is where the real swamp is.

Yeah the swamp consists of demosocialcommunists and RINO's. Some you can see easily, others you have to wait until the pressure is really on and then see how they react. They will tell you who they are, sometimes it just takes a little more time and observation...
 
I struggle with that as well but what was Trump supposed to do? If he fired every single holdover (which he might as well have done) I do think that would have created a unique set of issues/problems.

The real issue in my mind is the people in government with the experience who he should be able to rely on have demonstrated an unfathomable level of partisanship and really don't give two shits about anything but having their "team" succeed. Trump had an illegal spy operation that was run against him by our government. That cannot be overstated!. We have deep reaching issues with far too many in government (unelected positions) being guided by their politics. It is about team and control.

Trump knew there was a "swamp" but nobody could have anticipated the depths OUR government would go to in their attempt to overturn an election.

So was the impeachment of Nixon an attempt to overturn an election? How about the impeachment of Clinton?

If you don’t break the law and abuse the power of your office you won’t get impeached. Plain and simple.

BTW: Lindsey, McConnell, Cruz, Romney, Rubio and other GOP Senators and others warned everyone what kind of person Trump was and is long before the election. Lindsey said, if elected he would destroy the party and that they would deserve it. Just because they have all tucked their tails doesn’t mean that everyone has or should.

And it's the demosocialistcommunist party (Your party) that's self-destructing...who'd a thunk it...

In those cases, which you know, there were lengthy independent investigations that actually uncovered crimes. Investigations that took years.
None of that occurred here, the investigation was led by the Democrats, it took all of 2.5 months, and not a single crime was found.

The whole sham is a joke, it’s utterly ridiculous.

And they do ever find a crime, fine or penalize him, but let's get on with moving the country forward.

Imagine where we'd be if both parties worked toward improving the good ole USA...

I don’t believe there is a single person in congress who is so lacking in sense and integrity that they are willing to put a D next to their name, but will actually examine all facts and evidence and acquit Trump rather than following the political party line impeachment.

I will be shocked if a single one of them breaks party lines and sides with the law and facts.

I tend to agree. For all Trump has done for West Virginia to think their Senator would vote to kick him out of office is difficult to believe. The Senator from Alabama is toast so he might just go ahead and do it. I don't even know who the lady senator is.

Democrats tend to stick together and you won't find any Romney types on their side.

False. That used to be the case until Pelosi bastardized the whole process. Trump did not break the law, but got impeached. "Abuse of power" can be interpreted in a thousand different ways, which is why such terms were rejected by the founders. Every president from Washington to Trump could be guilty of "abuse of power" depending on what definition you prescribe to it.

And Trump's impeachment is clearly an attempt to overturn an election because the Dems started vowing to do it before the election was even final.
 

That didn’t take long. These are the same people that get so upset at Trump for poking fun of people (or making it up like the disabled reporter just to be outraged) and get furious over stereotypes.
Remember when baseball pitcher John Rocker described what it was like to ride the New York City subway. When he said..... Imagine having to take the (Number) 7 train to the ballpark. next to some kid with purple hair next to some queer with Aids next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time next to some 20 year-old mom with 4 kids.....
Sounds just like part of the weirdo democrat voting base to me. And Don Lemon & democrats say that Trump & republicans depend on the uninformed voter? Democrats are so blinded with hate that they would say that republican voters are uninformed. Anyone with a thimble full of brains knows that it's the freaks & weirdos that votes for democrats. Atheists, tree hugers, pro-abortionists, welfare moms, drug addicted scum, ex felons that's the democrat voters. And dems say that republican voters are dumb. Wow absolutely amazing.
