Where is/can Donald Trump take US (sic)?

[dutchie]

The Democrats are sick. They will be slaughtered next year.
They have no where to go.
The only course they have is to keep trying to impeach the President. What a sham, talk about flogging a dead horse.
You would think that after 3-4 years of failure, they would maybe think about a different tactic.

...waiting for the breathless reporting of The Don's impeachment in the House from @basilio.... and the sound of crickets when the Senate tells the House to go **** itself.

The Chinese will be hoping Trump gets sacked, then they can get back to business as usual, paying the company execs to keep offshoring manufacturing to China.
Meanwhile the muppets will dance around in glee, while dreaming up the next way to blow their own feet off.

True, it won't be done as per the Constitution. It will just be the Republicans displaying the middle finger.

A truly historic moment.

Mate if you think it has been done anywhere near as per the constitution thus far, you should give yourself an uppercut to wake yourself up.

It will be different rules in the Senate and this will be shown to be so.... The democrats have just committed political suicide

He won't get sacked. So it's a wasted effort less than a year away from the election.

So what are they doing it for? will it give them leverage in the election?

Not in my view - probably the opposite.

Couldn't imagine the Republicans playing politics in the Senate, and I am certain if the roles were reversed there would be no impeachment of a Democrat.....crickets ....Starr investigation of White Water ........

The Martyrdom of the Son of God is at hand. Truly he is being Scourged by the Ungodly in ways that have overshadowed the Witches of Salem and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

It has got that bad . Not a single politician has attempted to refute the charges against Donald Trump. Each and every one has gone one step further in trying to paint a picture of a unbelievable mischief against the anointed King of all Kings - without actually talking about what has been alleged.

Donald Trump's impeachment proceedings compared to trial that led to the crucifixion of Jesus
A Republican politician has compared the impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, declaring Christianity's messiah was given a fairer trial than the US President.

...On Tuesday, Mr Trump wrote in a six-page letter to Ms Pelosi that "more due process was afforded to those accused in the Salem Witch Trials".

The Salem Witch Trials of individuals accused of witchcraft took place in Massachusetts in the 1600s. About 20 people were executed, mostly via hangings, according to historians.

Dems still playing Ducks and Drakes, not releasing the articles to the Senate.

Anyway, point of the year goes to the wag that said "Trump impeached for Joe Biden's crimes"

 

[basilio]

nyway, point of the year goes to the wag that said "Trump impeached for Joe Biden's crimes"

Indeed ! We should start a new competition for the the most outrageous Trumpism of the Year award.

Unfortunately the Son of God would refuse to allow anyone else to out Trump him when it comes to the most outrageous lies in history.

We could then pass all these stories around and see who believes them..

Generally with impeachment the voters start to get on board and turn. I'm unsure, but one poll I saw went the other way against the dems. I think with the fbi investigation shining a light on what went on with the "pee dossier", dems have used up their credibility.

Seems like a suicide mission for the dems right now. But a lot changes in a week let alone a year.

Be interesting to see how this editorial from the leading magazine for the Evangelical Christian movement influences public opinion.

Trump Should Be Removed from Office
It’s time to say what we said 20 years ago when a president’s character was revealed for what it was.

.... the facts in this instance are unambiguous: The president of the United States attempted to use his political power to coerce a foreign leader to harass and discredit one of the president’s political opponents. That is not only a violation of the Constitution; more importantly, it is profoundly immoral.

The reason many are not shocked about this is that this president has dumbed down the idea of morality in his administration. He has hired and fired a number of people who are now convicted criminals. He himself has admitted to immoral actions in business and his relationship with women, about which he remains proud. His Twitter feed alone—with its habitual string of mischaracterizations, lies, and slanders—is a near perfect example of a human being who is morally lost and confused.

Trump’s evangelical supporters have pointed to his Supreme Court nominees, his defense of religious liberty, and his stewardship of the economy, among other things, as achievements that justify their support of the president. We believe the impeachment hearings have made it absolutely clear, in a way the Mueller investigation did not, that President Trump has abused his authority for personal gain and betrayed his constitutional oath. The impeachment hearings have illuminated the president’s moral deficiencies for all to see. This damages the institution of the presidency, damages the reputation of our country, and damages both the spirit and the future of our people. None of the president’s positives can balance the moral and political danger we face under a leader of such grossly immoral character.

Biden was put in charge of Ukraine by President Obama and was caught on tape bragging about doing exactly what the impeachment is accusing Trump of doing.

The whole system of government is corrupt and out of whack in the US as we are now heading. Defence and governments are controlled and driven by the very wealthy and I wonder why so many of you on these type of threads are sucked in by all such bull...t

Trump accused him of corruption. What Biden did was attempt to get the removal of a corrupt Ukrainian politician, a move supported by many other countries at the time and by many Republican politicians in the US.

It was about getting control in Ukraine to try and stop Russia from being able to pipe their oil and gas through to Europe.

Nearly all the wars and interferences by the US has been about retaining a monopoly on oil, gas and arms production. ISiS use bullets made by the US as one small example. Trump does not follow this course and is why they are doing everything to remove him. Trump gets around with the handshake like a good car salesman but the underlying US monopolies do no like it.

But don't get me wrong on Trump, he's a spoilt monopolising dick...d but won't play the game. Remember J Edgar Hoover who developed the FBI and controlled eight Presidents. A complete understanding of history makes for interesting study.

It would be interesting to have these these witnesses in the Senate Trial.
But hey, the truth might actually come out wouldn't it ?

Ukraine aid blocked soon after Trump’s phone call with Zelenskiy, emails show
Trump acted about 90 minutes after the ‘do us a favor’ phone call behind the scenes to freeze aid from the Pentagon
As Republicans and Democrats continue to squabble on the terms of Trump’s impeachment trial in the Senate, newly-released government emails show that it took only about 90 minutes after Donald Trump’s infamous July telephone call to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy for White House officials to order the Pentagon to freeze military funding for Ukraine.

The correspondence, published by the Center for Public Integrity, appears to show that Trump appointees acted quickly after the call, behind the scenes, to block Ukrainian aid from the Pentagon.

The emails appear to confirm that the aid was held up soon after Trump pressured Zelenskiy on the call to “do us a favor, though”. That request prompted an American whistleblower who heard details about the call to complain, which in September triggered the entire impeachment inquiry.

30 Years *$200,000 = $6 million

She must have some fantastic investment advise.

Political corruption (all over the world) is very lucrative!
