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

Trump won't be impeached, due to the iron laws of arithmetic.

Maybe, maybe not.

What if the Senate held a secret vote on Donald Trumps impeachment ?
Consider this analysis from an advisor to many Republican politicians.

There’s a Surprisingly Plausible Path to Removing Trump From Office
It would take just three Republican senators to turn the impeachment vote into a secret ballot. It’s not hard to imagine what would happen then.

There is no impeachable high crime.

There is high farce however, and political suicide. The deranged and ludicrous Senate is manna from Heaven for Trump 2020.

Not sure what credence to give to this, but it would explain a lot.

Yeah that worked well when the republicans tried to impeach Clinton, hey?

He got a second term, didn't he?

The thing is the impeachment process has to be credible, this impeachment process is an absolute farce and everybody knows it. Except of course those with extreme Trump derangement syndrome.

The further and further the democrats take this impeachment process, the worse and worse the democrats look. The logical result is that the entire democratic congress is in the process of ipso facto, impeaching itself, such will be the result at the next election.

Landslide to the Pubs.

Well done Dumbocrats.

A recap of the evidence of Donald Trumps efforts at misusing his office.

The inside story of Trump's alleged bribery of Ukraine
Public testimony in the impeachment hearings has painted a vivid picture of a president fixated on one thing: his own political gain over the fortunes of an ally

Why bother with the facts when you can just make up anything you want?
Not just the facts: Republicans' top six impeachment falsehoods
Despite damning evidence from dramatic hearings, the GOP seems determined to reject the evidence of its eyes and ears

The morning after public impeachment hearings came to an apparent close, the biggest names in conservative punditry were happy to call the ballgame.

At the Wall Street Journal, Peggy Noonan declared that the case against Donald Trump had “been so clearly made you wonder what exactly the Senate will be left doing”.

“On the substance,” wrote Rich Lowry over at the National Review, “Democrats have won.”

But the color of the sky was different on Capitol Hill, where elected Republicans insisted Democrats had produced no evidence of wrongdoing and Trump had been summarily vindicated.

“I’ve just focused on the facts and it is clear as every day that goes by [sic] that Democrats’ case for impeachment is crumbling,” the New York representative Elise Stefanik, who participated in the hearings, told Fox News on Thursday night.

How can inhabitants of the same ideological ecosystem disagree so sharply? It appears that getting into the bunker with Trump, as the politicians have, requires embracing falsehoods too plain or painful for the pundits to bear.

Here is a list of major falsehoods in the air – or in the recycled air of the bunker, at least:

Facts

 

[Macquack]

Except of course those with extreme Trump derangement syndrome.

There you go, I thought "Trump derangement syndrome" referred to people who thought Trump was a decent, honourable person with a brain.

There you go, I thought "Trump derangement syndrome" referred to people who thought Trump was a decent, honourable person with a brain.

And those of course who faithfully believe every word the Anointed One says and will follow him to the ends of the Earth, over hill and dale and off the cliff.

I can totally understand "The Son of God" just making up whatever story he wants and demanding that his followers Repeat and Believe, and Believe and Repeat. That is his pass to Fame, Fortune and The White House.

I can partially understand the many Republicans who have decided that being in power is worth whatever price the Boss demands. Their oath to the Constitution can just go hang.

But the scary part in my mind is watching so many seemingly rational people who don't have a direct interest in the game refusing to use their eyes and brains and just echoing his talking points. Talk about the Cult of the Personality !

Another random "Gods Truth pearl "

The Son of Man said during an interview that "He doesn't know Prince Andrew "
Milliseconds later Twitter punches up a number of pictures with Donald and Andrew together.

Schiff and the Democrats : "The impeachment evidence of Trumps' misconduct is overwhelming"

What the MSM should ask: And what is the evidence?

Schiff and the Democrats : The evidence is that we have used the word "overwhelming".

 

[moXJO]

Just because you think the dems impeachment sham is all bs does not mean you automatically like Trump.
Another lefty brain derangement.....
Any smear is a good smear I suppose.

Dems ran a bs impeachment trial with their own rules and came up with fck all. Schiff even bullshtted the narrative at the start.

Honestly you guys are mentally ill.

 

[SirRumpole]

Honestly you guys are mentally ill.

Compared to Trump ?

Compared to Trump ?

Egomaniac perhaps.
However the left owns crazy.

 

[SirRumpole]

Egomaniac perhaps.

Plus narcissism , paranoia and psychopathy.

Plus narcissism , paranoia and psychopathy.

Paranoia- literally every media organization has been out to get him with bs stories.

Psychopath- has actively been avoiding military action. Even warns countries before he bombs to get civilians out.

Narcissist- who isn't these days.

Go back through the last few presidents and tell me which one wasn't a mass murdering scumbag.

And Obama was one of the worst.

Trump is literally a small time crook standing in the shadow of crime lords.

You don't have to kill people to be a psychopath. It's all about control over other people. He does it and he enjoys it and therefore I think the description is apt.

He's a lot of things but psychopath isn't one of them. Having capable people around you is a business mind trait. And lets face it, public service isn't full of capable people.

Jim Mattis was one of the most highly regarded "public servants" in the US.

If Trump should have listened to anyone, he should have listened to Mattis, but Trump's ego was too big to have another peacock on his patch.
