Happy Impeachment Day!

If you voted for Impeachment you are not an American.
Absolute mockery of the Americans who voted for Trump.
Imagine having a POTUS who does what he was elected on....time for the Democratic Party to disband.
Imagine having a POTUS who does what he was elected on....time for the Democratic Party to disband.
Imagine half a nation and an entire party turning itself into a flock of bleating sheep asking a dear leader to sheer them them yet again.
Oh wait. That's already happened.................................................................Nazi Germany. Congrats to the former Republicans everywhere. Bah Humbug!????

The economy is setting records, same with low unemployment, all the ISIS territory was taken back in Syria and Iraq, Jerusalem is recognized as the capital of Israel, terrible Obama Iran peace plan and Paris climate accords torn up, the border has been made more secure than ever, mfg jobs Obama said were lost forever have come back, better trade agreements made...etc...(some people just cannot handle all this winning ) ?

In the past it would be normal to respect that every one deserves to have their own opinion.
That notion is not guaranteed anymore due to the absolute criminal proceedings we’re witnessing.
Your type is gonna fade out Tex...truth is gonna prevail.

Conservative Washington Times Op-Ed from Fox Commentator.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/dec/18/trump-impeachment-undisputed-evidence-that-he-abus/
From the Op-Ed:
"James Madison, the author of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, feared a government that was strong enough to protect the people would become too strong for the people to control. It would use its powers not for the nation’s betterment but its own. When the government fails to control itself, he argued, when the president becomes a law unto himself by violating the laws that pertain to all others, the remedy is impeachment.
The framers’ greatest fear was a president who would unlawfully put his own needs above the nation’s or who would drag a foreign government into our domestic affairs. Mr. Trump has tried to do both and threatened to repeat those attempts. That’s why the remedy of impeachment is acutely needed."

once napolitano got suspended from Fox, he's been all leftie. He doesn't want
antifa, the leftist half of the media coming after him.
After Fox, he couldn't make any more appearances in the media.
So, he had to switched sides. You'd think Juan Williams would have learned his lesson...

The framers greatest fear is we would have political impeachments which is what the democrats have given us. If this is the standard for impeachment now than Obama would have been impeached and about every president going forward now can be impeached. We have an ELECTION in less than one year and the voters should be deciding Trump's fate and not partisan democrats in the House.

And some people just can't handle the guy responsible is a slimeball. Germany was going gangbusters pre WW II run by that little guy with a mustache. To me the parallels between his followers and the hard core MAGAs are sort of scary. That the Donald obstructed a Congressional investigation isn't debatable. And this wasn't the first time either.

Trump's never going to get tossed out of office, (at least before November) so what are you worried about? MHO it won't be the standard going forward, because hopefully the American electorate will vote for a president who's better qualified for the office.

You think you're going to get 50% of these tards to vote 3rd party, then you're hitting that J too long. Time to pass it over this way.

how is it NOT debatable? My goodness.... if using Executive Privilege to establish the continuing
necessary ability to converse with important staff at all, were considered "obstructing Congress"....
come on, now. lol. I mean, seriously. lol When Clinton, Nixon and ObaMao used it, it was for glaringly
legit reasons other than protecting the exec branch/presidency.
Pres Trump - the mueller three year investigation turned up NOTHING. and that is with sixteen anti-trump aggressive prosecutors after it. Pres Trump gave a ton of evidence over to them.
The lefties in the House have been on a tidal wave fishing exhibition. No good reason for it, either.

Bill Clinton
The Clinton White House was mired in two major scandals involving Whitewater and Monica Lewinsky. During these investigations, President Clinton used executive privilege 14 times, which included protecting First Lady Hillary Clinton from testifying during the Whitewater hearings and protecting himself from testifying in both cases.
His executive privilege claims, as well as his attorney-client claims in the Lewinsky investigation, were challenged in federal court. Citing U.S. v. Nixon, the courts determined that the prosecutor’s needs outweighed the confidentiality of executive documents and discussions. This ruling was not appealed to the Supreme Court, as the White House sought to avoid a headline-grabbing legal loss.
Clinton was eventually impeached by the House but not convicted the Senate, allowing him to finish his second term.
Barack Obama
President Obama’s most famous use of executive privilege came during the “Fast and Furious” scandal. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms had run an operation to sell guns to Mexico, in the hope that they could track those weapons to major drug cartels and apprehend some of their members. The guns were not able to be tracked and one was eventually used in the killing of a border patrol agent.
Representative Darrell Issa and Senator Chuck Grassley held hearings to determine what went wrong during the mission. Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder both said they did not know about it until a few weeks prior to the killing and did not authorize it. Congress and the Department of Justice ended up in a standoff over the sharing of 1,300 documents, leading Obama to assert executive privilege in order to keep them private. In retaliation, Congress voted to cite Holder for contempt of Congress.
Much like Nixon and Clinton, Obama’s claim of executive privilege was rejected by a federal court, and the documents were turned over.
Clearly, in the last half-century, executive privilege has lost some of its luster. But while executive privilege may be on the ropes after several defeats in court over the years, history indicates that President Donald J. Trump and future Presidents will continue to call upon this power—and the courts will continue to judge its necessity.

LOL Cal the Republicans claimed the same obstruction crap on Clinton, and now say it's perfectly OK for Trump to pull the same garbage.
God, you guys have your heads so far up Trump's ass it's unbelievable....
You think you're going to get 50% of these tards to vote 3rd party, then you're hitting that J too long. Time to pass it over this way.
Nope, all it will take is a solid Democratic vote along with a fair share of Moderate Republicans along with a few Independents who hate Trumps guts to swing the election the other way. To this point there's no viable 3rd party candidate, and I suspect voting "none of the above" will count as a vote for Trump. In case you forgot, Trump lost the popular vote, and the only reason he won is folks hated Hillary more. #Never Trump. FWIW, any Republican who isn't Donald....
There's a reason Trump went after Biden- because he rightly surmised Joe as a far bigger threat to his reelection than either Sanders or Warren. The religious right has no use for Pete- not because he's gay, but he'll 100% push the outer limits of the LBGT crowd.

There are plenty of viable 3rd party candidates. Just not enough people with the principle or bravery to cast their vote for them.

Fine with me as long as plenty of the tards on your side vote for AOC or Bernie or or Elizabeth Warren or whoever the hell. ?
Face it 3rd party candidates have been a little bit shaky and not, in my opinion, worthy of pissing away the chance to have somebody closer to your own views.
