Republicans are quite simply un-American

Ambassadors serve at the pleasure of the president. The president can fire and/or replace them anytime he wants to, with no excuse given. When I hear an ambassador complaining about being recalled by the president I think: "You got into the wrong line of work!"

And I stand up for principled Democrats, Jack! When House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that impeachment was way too important to be a partisan action launched by one political party to express its unhappiness with losing the White House, I AGREED with her! And then, when the House voted to launch impeachment inquiries, two of her own Democrats voted NO!

This particular impeaching IS a purely partisan activity, with ZERO Republicans on board, including zero Republican U.S. Senators, which means this entire thing is doomed to failure! Nancy Pelosi is absolutely right! It's TOO IMPORTANT to be a purely Democratic Party withhunt!

 

[JackLuis]

Considering the evidence in the public sphere, how can there be Republicans who are not interested in the investigation of the corruption in our government? The sad fact is that Republicans have remained in lock step by the Trumpinista Kapo's who whip them into line anytime one gets out of step.

Look at what happened to Mitt when he got fed up with Trump. Marginalized and criticized by the Kapo's and undefended by the rational Republican party.

Trump has repeatedly attacked America's intelligence agencies.

Trump has repeatedly attacked the FBI.

Trump has repeatedly attacked America's judges.

Trump has repeatedly attacked America's Mainstream Media.

Trump has attacked America's military soldiers, America's veterans and our gold star families.

Trump has attacked our foreign allies like NATO, Canada, the Kurds and the Ukrainians.

However Trump has NOTHING BUT PRAISE for Putin! He loves Putin so much!! He's willing to destroy America's national security and all of our foreign alliances if it will make Putin happy!

Yeah, that's about as un-American as you can get.

We have owned cattle

Then you'll garner no respect on a political thread. Save it for the pub, when a dickhead is chatting you up

She has my respect. We have owned cattle and it is important to spot bullshit if you are around the beasts that are causing global warming.

So, she is spot on. The OP was pure bullshit. I will sight just one example rather than waste my time with the shovel. The OP claims that Trump doesn't believe in freedom of the press and free speech. But what he clearly says is that he hates fake news. Propaganda news. All thinking people hate fake news. But he did not say they should be banned. Just that they are bullshit. So, he was using his freedom of speech to say something you don't like and therefore you want him impeached. Using the law to silence someone that says things you hate would be robbing him of his freedom of speech. You are both hypocritical and walking around the ranch with shit of your feet and you don't even know it.

Sadly, America's mainstream media sold itself (and its credibility) to the Democratic Party during the Obama presidency, when it shielded & protected Barack from pretty much ALL negative news coverage. It's the MEDIA that should have vetted Obama (who was a virtual unknown in 2008), but they feared that they might discover things about him that might hurt his candidacy, so they opted instead to give him a pass.

"Trump has attacked America's military soldiers, America's veterans and our gold star families."

It's refreshing to hear progressives speaking positively about America's military. The truth is, if ONLY our military personnel had the vote, along with America's many veterans who have served our country so faithfully, the Democratic Party would have only about two dozen congressmen & women in the House, with perhaps three or four U.S. Senators. But if ONLY those people who openly HATED our nation voted in our elections, the Democrats would hold all 435 House & 100 Senate seats!

"Trump has attacked our foreign allies like NATO, Canada, the Kurds and the Ukrainians."

President Trump has forced our NATO allies to pay their fair share in that military alliance - is that really the same thing as "attacking" them? He's also forced Canada & the European Union nations to re-negotiate unfair trade deals with the United States, as he continues to do with China! The Kurds are NOT an independent nation, existing in southeast Turkey, northeastern Syria, northwestern Iran, and mostly in northern Iraq. They have assisted us in destroying ISIS, which was an ever greater threat to themselves. And President Trump has excellent relations with the Ukraine.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCSF3reVr10 - (Vice President Biden brags about withholding funds from the Ukraine - runs 3:04)

In that above video-clip, former vice president Joe Biden brags about the time he held up a billion-dollars in aid to the Ukrainians if they didn't fire a state prosecutor that he didn't want investigating his son Hunter's company!

"However Trump has NOTHING BUT PRAISE for Putin! He loves Putin so much!! He's willing to destroy America's national security and all of our foreign alliances if it will make Putin happy!"

President Putin LOVED dealing with our President Obama! He even openly interefered in our elections while Barack was president! Putin wanted special kid-gloves treatment for Russia's allies Syria & Iran, and Obama delivered! When Barack "drew his red line in the sand," threatening retaliation should the Bashar al-Assad regime gas its own people (e.g. the Kurds), Syria ignored Obama's threats and gassed them anyway. Barack's response was to do NOTHING! And when Russia's other ally IRAN demanded that the U.S. un-freeze their billions of dollars in assets frozen during the Iran-Hostage crisis, President Obama obediently complied and secretly shipped ALL of those funds back to the America-hating mullahs!

The Russians did NOT want Trump inconveniencing its allies, but Trump ignored Russia and fired-off over fifty cruise missiles at the Syrian air force after it continued bombing helpless civilians. The Russians were outraged! And then Trump imposed severe economic sanctions upon Russia's other ally Iran, currently causing serious unrest in that country! There are RIOTS going on today in Tehran!

"Yeah, that's about as un-American as you can get."

Yeah, the Russians want our weak, emasculated president (Obama) back!

This is the document which America was founded on, and which all elected officials, soldiers and military officers take an oath to protect and defend!

To be fair, the right never really trusted him anyway. Mormon, governor of a very blue state, signed the prototype for Obamacare...you get the picture. Interestingly, they did NOT appear to have a problem with him running for Senate in a state where his claim to be from there was minimal, after screaming bloody murder about Hillary Clinton doing the same.

S. Straub, Voters Fear Violence From the Left Far More Than From Trump Supporters in 2020, Federalist Papers (Nov. 21, 2019).

 

[Spandex_Girl]

And Trump has made it very clear that he doesn’t stand for the freedom of the press. As a presidential candidate, he told supporters he would “open up our libel laws” to sue journalists. “We’re going to have people sue you like you’ve never got sued before,” he promised.

Trump has referred to journalists as “scum” and “slime,” and mocked a reporter for having a disability. He vowed to sue women who reported incidents of sexual harassment and assault, along with the outlets that covered their accounts, and threatened a lawsuit against a Hispanic journalist group for calling out his bigoted remarks.

When Republican Greg Gianforte violently assaulted a reporter, Trump praised Gianforte and called him “my kind of guy”. And when the Saudi royal family tortured and killed a reporter from an American newspaper, Trump took the side of the Saudi criminals.

Trump has also publicly told us that he thinks it is “disgusting” the way that the American press has the freedom to ‘’write whatever they want to write”. He even threatened to cancel the broadcast licenses of media companies that offer negative coverage of him. And he’s publicly announced that he believes that the American Media is “the enemy of the people” and declared himself to be “at war” with the American Media.

He’s threatened to pull credentials of reporters who write negative stories about him and called for a federal investigation into Saturday Night Live after watching a rerun of an episode parodying him.

He’s also referred to the Constitution of the United States as “really bad”.

Trump hate the United States Constitution, he hates freedom of the press, he hates freedom of speech and has made it clear that he wants to get rid of all of these things.

Trump is violently opposed to American values.

How can this man be trusted TO LEAD AMERICA when he hates everything that’s GOOD ABOUT AMERICA?

He can't. Trump has made it very clear that he hates Democracy and is enamored with dictatorships. He loves the way his dictator friends in Russia, Saudi-Arabia and North Korea can use violence, intimidation, terror and mass-arrests to crack down on dissent, protests, criticism and investigative journalism.

Trump HATES American democracy! He's made that abundantly clear. He'd much rather turn America into an authoritarian dictatorship.

Seriously? You're assigning me an essay to complete for you by Wednesday? - I'll pass.

YDB95 writes (about Mitt Romney running in Massachusetts): "...they did NOT appear to have a problem with him running for Senate in a state where his claim to be from there was minimal, after screaming bloody murder about Hillary Clinton doing the same."

Apples & oranges - NO Republican chooses Massachusetts as a state to run in to win an easy victory (as Hillary so obviously did with New York state!)

"You DO realise he's just going to throw up his usual bullshit about Margaret Sanger and Robert Byrd and the KKK and insist that it is all fact, don't you?

Two FACTS that YDB95 & myself both agree upon:

1) Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger addressed a gathering of Ku Kux Klan wives in the mid-1920's - (we only DISAGREE as to whether or not Ms. Sanger fully understood at that time that the KKK was a violent/racist hate group!)

2) West Virginia's Robert Byrd reached the high-rank of "Exalted Cyclops" in the Ku Kux Klan - and then, he later became the ONLY U.S. Senator to vote AGAINST the confirmations of BOTH Thurgood Marshall AND Clarence Thomas onto our U.S. Supreme Court - (note: Marshall & Thomas are our nation's ONLY two BLACK Supreme Court justices!) - YDB95 correctly points out that Byrd later apologized.

Spandex Girl writes: "Trump has made it very clear that he hates Democracy..."

YDB95 responds: "I didn't even see any point in dignifying that one with a response."

And I'm going to have to agree with my friend YDB95 on that one, as well.

How many times has Trump hinted at 3 terms, I keep hearing after 2024 ( as everyone seems to claim Trump wins in 2020) it will then be Pence elected as president... yah right, Trump wants President for life....and his Republican allies seem to support him in this...

There are unlimited examples of slinging shit by both parties for over 200 hundred years. You have to admit, Clinton had a pattern of sexual harassment since he was the AG of Arkansas which followed him all the way to the oval office. I guess, when the likes of Al Green and Maxine Waters call for Trump's impeachment before he's even inaugurated it's hard to take the impeachment process seriously especially since Max is corrupt herself. Two wrongs don't make a right, politics is dirty. Maybe if we do away with the electoral college the red and blue lines evaporate and politicians will have to stand alone on their merits

Articles of impeachment were brought against 5 of the last 6 presidents, Ford being the only one not harassed. Although, some attempts not taken seriously it does show a propensity for the dems party to undo a duly elected president. This one being no different. Dems love impeachment as a tool.

Ford was eight presidents ago, not six. And Republicans were calling for Clinton's impeachment before he took office as well. Not that it matters with respect to the matter at hand today, which isn't even really in dispute - Trump was dumb enough to say he'd done it before he knew it was illegal.

The Republicans of the year 2019 have shown themselves to be far more loyal to Russia than they are to the United States of America. Republicans are waging a war against America's intelligence community and deliberately assisting a hostile foreign power. It is up to mainstream media interviewers and every Democrat on the ballot in 2020 to directly challenge Republicans who, yes, engage in un-American activity.

Ironically, it was Republicans during the Cold War who routinely and falsely accused every liberal of aiding communists. Now, we have a case in which the “useful idiots” are in the White House and Congress, spreading Putin’s lies far more effectively than the Russian leader could do on his own.
