Impeach rhymes with screech

[MechAg94]

MechAg, why would protesting officials make them fearful of what happens when they're out of power?

Keep in mind that a well-known tactic of colonial-era patriots was to intimidate people out of taking controversial govt. jobs.

I guess I am concerned that the left's tactics continue to escalate. 

[RoadKingLarry]

I'm a little surprised the antifa clowns haven't escalated to throwing molotov cocktails at the subjects of their angst.

Wait till the day after the election

Press charges against them for Obstruction of Congress.

Trump's Popularity Surges After Nation Learns He May Have Obstructed Congress

"Any president who stops Congress from doing their jobs is a hero in my book," said one voter in Ohio. "I wasn't sure I supported Trump at first, but when the Dems accused him of hindering Congress, I boarded the Trump train immediately."

"ALL ABOARD! CHOO CHOO! MAGA!" he yelled, donning his brand-new MAGA hat.

At publishing time, Trump was looking for ways to obstruct both the judicial and executive branches, further increasing his popularity.

[Perd Hapley]

Yeah, but wait 'til he obstructs HOAs.

So I watched an unedited clip of Ted Cruz directly asking, "Did the FBI falsify records to obtain a FISA warrant?" Answer, "Yes".

Is this not akin to you getting pulled over, and a cop planting heroin in your car? If found out, aren't you immediately cleared (even if you're a known heroin dealer, let alone innocent) and the cop, and maybe his department, brought up on charges?

One would think direct evidence such as this would end things immediately, but instead, we have Nadler saying, "We have to impeach no matter what - we can't let this go until the next election." Implying that Trump would win the election. We are clearly in Third World territory at this point, where citizens "can't be trusted" to do what an entrenched government wants.

[WLJ]

Says to me that they feel that if they can't remove Trump from office By Hook Or By Crook then 2020 is a lost cause for the dems

"We cannot rely on an election to solve our problems when the president threatens the very integrity of that election," Nadler said during his opening statement. "Nor can we sit on our hands while the President undermines our national security—and while he allows his personal interests and the interests of our adversary Russia to advance."

Still beating that Russian drum. But wait, I thought he was conspiring with the Ukrainians now? Make up your minds!

That comment alone should scare the hell out of every American. Congress has decided they get to choose who gets to hold office.

Also, at this point, is there any reason that when the next Democrat president is elected, R's should not start impeachment proceedings the day after that president is sworn in? I mean, this is kinda where we are - elections don't count if you don't like the winner.

[Ben]

Also, very interesting timelapse video of the first hour of the FISA and impeachment hearings. Pretty hard to defend MSM regarding bias and editing after watching it.

Isn't the general consensus that this circus will hurt the Democrats more than it helps them?

[Ben]

Yes, but R's are also known for doing things that hurt them more than help. And really, it's not about Ds vs Rs - it's about a country going in a direction where elections don't matter if enough people and people in positions of influence don't like the results. Again, this is Third World territory.

I had to suck it up for eight years of Obama, and various other dems before him. I found many of their policies ran from irritating to abhorrent.  My side lost though, and we had to suck it up until the next election, and when the dem won that one, we had to suck it up again. Also, FTR, I was not in favor of impeaching Clinton. That also could have been handled at the ballot box.

I heard in one of the hearings CNN was pulling out when R's were asking questions and returning when Dem's did.  Pretty ridiculous bias.

The leftists have pretty much been running the table against the right for decades.

Half of those on "the right" aren't even really on the right.

They are the "not so fast" progressives who think they are conservative but are kidding themselves.

Sometimes they call themselves libertarians.

Never underestimate leftists.

Which Clinton?

If the government were functioning properly, Congress would impeach Hillary Clinton, not refer her misconduct to the same administration that indulged it in the first place.

[Ben]

Which Clinton?

The only one who ever got elected President. :)

[Ben]

Interesting in the "What is "is"?" vein.

Several dems (along with that awful, awful Stanford woman) have been pushing the "Trump thinks he's a king" line. It apparently stems from the statement quoted here, which in full context, is obviously referring to the United States of America, not some "royal we" bullpucky. The lying here is atrocious.

At first I thought I was reading The Babylon Bee.

Nope.

They're serious.

Five more years of "impeachment inquiry", hooray!

[WLJ]

Rename CSPAN the Impeachment Channel. All Impeachment, All the Time.

[Angel Eyes]

[WLJ]

Noticed a lot of news sites have the word "historic" in their impeachment vote article headlines just like whenever Obama did anything it was always "HISTORIC!"

Getting some popcorn ready for the libs reaction when they find out Trump is still president after they vote for impeachment. But he was impeached!    I would say something like 90%+ have zero clue what impeachment actually means

[RoadKingLarry]

I think they're just misspelling histeric.  Like somebody snuck in and tampered with their spell check dictionary.

[WLJ]

Could it be they're getting cold feet at the last minute because they maybe they have realized how foolish they're going to look in the Senate?
