Impeachment Thread

[domroger]

Because he is the WORST person to ever run for President. He is a fool and a braggart, a bull shit artist and general all round asshole. Nothing personal.

Sums it up perfectly

More absolute made up rubbish from the dumpster.
Hitler did not hate the USA. He admired the USA, stated that Germany needed to emulate the USA industrially. And this was after declaring war on the states.
He did think that the bloodlines of the people were thinned and diluted because of all the Jews, blacks and eastern europeans that had emigrated there. But he got that wrong.
Please cite your sources for stating that hitler hated the USA.

Back in 1999, the Democratic Party understood that President Clinton was guilty as hell, but they supported him anyway. They even nominated his crooked wife to be their presidential candidate in 2016. It predictably blew up in their faces.

The only Republican I know of who wants President Trump out is Mitt Romney. In the U.S. House, EVERY Republican congressman & woman supported President Trump in that recent vote, with TWO of Nancy Pelosi's Democrats ALSO voting AGAINST impeachment going forward!

If the House Dems vote to impeach Trump, their witchhunt will go to the U.S. Senate where the Democratic Party's efforts to remove this president from office will be loudly SLAPPED DOWN, resulting in liberal/progressives once again complaining about how much they HATE our U.S. Constitution, and want to see it replaced with a document that recognizes transgendered bathroom rights and respect for Islamic Sharia Law.

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor - NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with Adolf Hitler or Nazi Germany!

On the very next day, Hitler's Germany declared war on the United States! And you write: "Hitler did not hate the USA. He admired the USA" - so, Hitler showed his admiration for America by declaring war on us? Are you being SERIOUS, magicalmoments? Or is this you trying to be funny?

You don't declare war on a nation to show how much you like and/or admire that nation! That's just STUPID!

We are the ONLY nation that Nazi Germany declared war on - the ONLY one! Hitler attacked Poland, Yugoslavia, Greece, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, & Soviet Russia WITHOUT declaring war on any of them first! France & Great Britain declared war on Hitler! The only country that he went out of his way to declare war on was the U.S. And you say he did that because he LIKED us?

"Please cite your sources for stating that Hitler hated the USA."

I think I just did.

 

[gunthernehmen]

To me as a Canadian, I find it deeply troubling to watch a Democracy with such built in protections against one person having ultimate control, quickly moving in the direction of autonomy.

Don't worry. After he starts his second term the dems will continue to use their effective (though unethical) delaying tactics to prevent him from draining as much of the swamp we want him to.

Because he is the WORST person to ever run for President. He is a fool and a braggart, a bull shit artist and general all round asshole. Nothing personal.

So, in other words you don't feel strongly about it, but are surprised to find the other side does. Got it.

 

[YDB95]

YDB95 writes: "Feel free to show us your evidence that Jewish voters are abandoning the Dems."

Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is attracting Jewish voters to the Democratic Party in the same way that West Virginia U.S. Senator (and former Ku Kux Klan officer) Robert Byrd attracted black voters!

I'll take that as a tacit admission that you don't have any evidence that Jewish voters are flocking to the GOP, whose current leader once said "Even my Jews would say Merry Christmas" and also said they were the only people he trusted with counting his money. Can't imagine why not...

"Besides, even if the Senate clears Trump, public perception will play a big role in how voters react."

After Trump wins in the U.S. Senate, the angry Democratic Party will blame the racist U.S. Constitution (drawn-up by white slaveowners) in the same way that they blamed the Electoral College for electing Trump president - or the Second Amendment for allowing law-abiding Americans to own firearms!

Always straight to the guns with you, Dump. Oh, and you forgot to throw in some bullshit about Planned Parenthood there, too. Bottom line, you don't know what will happen after the impeachment trial. No one does.

And YOU, YDB95, will move yet another step closer to demanding that we change the name of Washington state to something less racist, along with urging that we tear down the Jefferson Memorial, and put Hugo Chavez's picture on the one-dollar bill, etc. You lack any deep-rooted core principles and/or values.

I always know I've got you on the ropes when you play that card.

"Since most Americans already do support Planned Parenthood, I'd say we're doing pretty well in that regard..."

And they've SHOWN that support for Planned Parenthood by cheering on Dr. Christine Blasey-Ford's testimony by electing more REPUBLICAN U.S. Senators in the 2018 mid-terms to make it even EASIER for President Trump to confirm his next U.S. Supreme Court nominee! Am I right?

Since the Dems won 58% of the vote for Senate nationwide and 67% of the seats, no. You're not right at all.

"Doesn't it stand to reason that they would want to elect the weakest candidate they could?"

And doesn't it stand to reason that the Russians would try to meddle in an American election when we had THE WEAKEST PRESIDENT THAT WE POSSIBLY COULD occupying the White House (e.g. Barack Obama)?

Erm, no. Quite the contrary if anything.

"Hitler worked his way slowly up to the point where he had the ability to do that."

Let's say, for the sake of argument, that Adolf Hitler's unique brand of national-SOCIALISM, his deep-rooted-hatred for American democracy and our U.S. Constitution, & his virulent anti-Semitism attracted the support of "The Squad" and other progressive Democrats to the point where he won the White House.

I've got to stop you right there, Dump. I'm sure it makes perfect sense to you that the Squad would support Hitler, but all that really proves is that your perspective is even more extreme and ill-informed than we thought. One distasteful comment about Israel doesn't put them in a league with Hitler, nor does your pathological hatred for abortion (which doesn't seem to stop you from also opposing any efforts to prevent unwanted pregnancies in the first place).

And then, as president, Hitler went on to politicize the Department of Justice, the CIA, the FBI, and even the Internal Revenue Service (ordering acting IRS-chief Lois Lerner to target opposition fundraising groups). Would you OPPOSE any of that, YDB95?

You mean like Trump has been doing with foreign governments? Of course I would.

RubenR writes: "Can someone explain to me what this 'losing the impeachment battle' is based on?"

YDB95 responds: "Bill Clinton was impeached, but not convicted."

The U.S. House has the power to impeach President Trump. But the U.S. Senate will NEVER convict him. It's an enormous waste of time & money!

Not if he's guilty is isn't. Win or lose, I look forward to his minions in the Senate having it on their record for all time that they voted to acquit him of crimes even he has admitted to (he was just too stupid to understand there was anything wrong with what he did).

Two wrongs don't make a right. Besides, you're talking about lying about a blowjob vs trying to blackmail a foreign leader to meddle in our political process. One of these things is not like the other...

The only Republican I know of who wants President Trump out is Mitt Romney. In the U.S. House, EVERY Republican congressman & woman supported President Trump in that recent vote, with TWO of Nancy Pelosi's Democrats ALSO voting AGAINST impeachment going forward!

Actually, no one voted for or against impeachment. The vote was on a timeline for the impeachment process. Since you're in such a hurry to get it out of the way and let Trump go back to stirring up hate and division all over the world, seems to me you ought to support that.

resulting in liberal/progressives once again complaining about how much they HATE our U.S. Constitution, and want to see it replaced with a document that recognizes transgendered bathroom rights and respect for Islamic Sharia Law.

Cite please on "respect for Islamic Sharia Law". People like you have been claiming that for years without a single real example to point to.

Don't worry. After he starts his second term the dems will continue to use their effective (though unethical) delaying tactics to prevent him from draining as much of the swamp we want him to.

Exactly what did he do to "drain the swamp" during the two years the Republicans were in full control?

You regularly avoid any discussion of Representative Ilhan Omar in the same way that you avoid any discussion involving former U.S. Senator (and Ku Kux Klan officer) Robert Byrd. It's almost as if you're embarrassed by them both being lifelong Democrats!

"Bottom line, you don't know what will happen after the impeachment trial."

Do I know what the future holds? No, I do not. I suppose it's entirely possible that the Republicans in the U.S. Senate will begin taking their orders from Nancy Pelosi, just as it's entirely possible that President Trump will name Ilhan Omar the new U.S. ambassador to Israel! We just don't know, do we?

"I always know I've got you on the ropes when you play that card."

I call it the "YDB95 has no core principles" card. And you don't.

"Since the Dems won 58% of the vote for Senate nationwide and 67% of the seats, no. You're not right at all."

Four of the incumbent Senate Democrats who voted "NO" on Judge Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination LOST their seats in the 2018 midterms as opposed to only ONE G.O.P. senator who supported the judge. And YOU say that was good for the Democrats? Okay...

"Quite the contrary if anything."

So you're now saying that the Russians meddled in our elections during the Obama presidency because they RESPECTED him? Okay...

"I'm sure it makes perfect sense to you that the Squad would support Hitler..."

Hitler was anti-Semitic, the "Squad" is anti-Semitic. Hitler was a National-Socialist, the "Squad" is pro-socialist. Hitler hated America, and the "Squad" hates America! It's all there!

"I look forward to his minions in the Senate having it on their record for all time that they voted to acquit him"

Yes, I remember that quite well - his minions in the Senate acquitted him TWENTY-YEARS ago, YDB95 - and all that they really accomplished was keeping Al Gore from ever becoming president! WHY are you even bringing that up?

"...you're talking about lying about a blowjob..."

Yes, so he lied under oath (e.g. committed PERJURY) over a getting a blow-job while attempting to obstruct a sexual harrassment investigation brought against him by his own justice department! Again, WHY are you even bringing that up?

"Exactly what did he do to "drain the swamp" during the two years the Republicans were in full control?"

Attorney General William Barr is currently investigating Obama administration corruption, including Joe Biden running interference for his son (Hunter) in the Ukraine! Also, we've got two EXCELLENT new Supreme Court justices (Gorsuch & Kavanaugh) with MORE on the way! The swamp IS being cleared as we speak!

As someone married to a Jewish CPA, Trump being racist enough for her to be trusted with his money is not really THAT offensive.

Now Omar being an anti-Israeli who thinks of Jews as evil greed mongering termites who have hypnotized the world?? Bit more offensive.

I've never avoided either one. We've discussed both at length. But all that is beside the point. You said Jewish voters are abandoning the Democrats in droves, and you haven't produced a scintilla of evidence to that effect. Are there even any Jewish Republicans in Congress? Eric Cantor was the only one when he was in Congress, and he's gone.

"Bottom line, you don't know what will happen after the impeachment trial."

Refreshing to hear you admit that for once.

"I always know I've got you on the ropes when you play that card."

Based on what, exactly? That I don't agree with you on much?

"Since the Dems won 58% of the vote for Senate nationwide and 67% of the seats, no. You're not right at all."

Four of the incumbent Senate Democrats who voted "NO" on Judge Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination LOST their seats in the 2018 midterms as opposed to only ONE G.O.P. senator who supported the judge. And YOU say that was good for the Democrats? Okay...

Context, Dump. You really need to learn that word. And I think all four of those senators likely would have lost if they'd voted Yes on Mr. I-Like-Beer. Three of them were from red states, and the fourth had an exceptionally strong challenger in a state with a reputation for not running clean elections. But yes, winning 67% of the seats that were up for grabs is pretty darned good.

"Quite the contrary if anything."

So you're now saying that the Russians meddled in our elections during the Obama presidency because they RESPECTED him? Okay...

Nope. I'm saying they meddled in our elections because they saw Trump as a useful idiot - and they were right. Obama being the previous president has nothing to do with it.

"I'm sure it makes perfect sense to you that the Squad would support Hitler..."

Hitler was anti-Semitic, the "Squad" is anti-Semitic.

One distasteful comment about Israel from one member of the Squad does not mean "they're anti-Semitic". Trump saying the only people he trusts with his money are "the short guys who wear yarmulkes," THAT is anti-Semitic.

Hitler was a National-Socialist, the "Squad" is pro-socialist.

The Nazis were an anti-socialist party, Dump. I've told you before, their use of the word "Socialist" in their name was a marketing ploy, designed to fool people like you. Nothing more.

Hitler hated America, and the "Squad" hates America! It's all there!

Where is your evidence that the Squad hates America? The definition of "hating America" is not "doesn't agree with Dumpington". Hate to break it to you!

"I look forward to his minions in the Senate having it on their record for all time that they voted to acquit him"

Yes, I remember that quite well - his minions in the Senate acquitted him TWENTY-YEARS ago, YDB95 - and all that they really accomplished was keeping Al Gore from ever becoming president! WHY are you even bringing that up?

I didn't bring it up. I was talking about Trump, not Clinton. And you know it.

"...you're talking about lying about a blowjob..."

Yes, so he lied under oath (e.g. committed PERJURY) over a getting a blow-job while attempting to obstruct a sexual harrassment investigation brought against him by his own justice department! Again, WHY are you even bringing that up?

YOU brought it up, not me. And you're forgetting (or more likely never knew) that the sexual harassment investigation was subsequently thrown out of court. Also, it was Paula Jones' lawyers who agreed to defining "sexual relations" as intercourse only, not oral sex. In other words, as Clinton himself said, his answers were, although misleading, legally accurate. And a Republican-controlled Senate agreed.

"Exactly what did he do to "drain the swamp" during the two years the Republicans were in full control?"

Attorney General William Barr is currently investigating Obama administration corruption, including Joe Biden running interference for his son (Hunter) in the Ukraine!

There’s a secret ‘deep state’ army quietly uncovering Trump’s corruption

Our government’s Inspectors General pose one of the biggest threats to Donald Trump’s presidency. The IGs’ unique status as independent watchdogs that report both to their own agencies and to Congress make them a powerful tool to root out presidential abuse, fraud and corruption.

The Intelligence Community Inspector General triggered the House impeachment investigation by bringing forth the anonymous whistleblower complaint revealing that Trump pressured Ukraine’s new leader to publicly declare Kyiv was digging dirt on Joe Biden.

Multiple IG inquiries now bear down on Trump’s maladministration of our government, each gathering facts about Team Trump’s disregard for the rule of law.

IG's are not so secret actually.

Four witnesses to the Ukraine phone call, scheduled to testify to Congress today, will likely refuse. Trump says that there's no reason for them to go before Congress.

The original whistleblower's offer to testify in writing is being rejected by Rep. Jim Jordan, who demands that he needs to hear from them in person.

Who has the law on their side?

I think the courts will rule on who should appear, but i doubt the Democrats will wait it out. they will just use the no cooperation as obstruction ( I am sure the court case's will proceed, and also state the witness's need to appear and answer questions). Move forward on the article's of impeachment, hold the inquiry, and vote.

As for Jim Jordan, I'd ask him why the President could offer written answers to the Muller report, and not sit down for an interview? What is the difference between that and the Whistleblower, should that person not do the same?

I will say as a Canadian, I see the Republicans talk out of both sides of their mouths, using only the facts which support their current belief. I am not saying or advocating the Democrats do not ( or have not) do this, but from my perspective, the Republicans lead by a country mile.

Okay, THAT is a new low even for you, Dump. "The president I already hated is to blame for failing to prevent massive corruption whose existence I've always denied before that resulted in the election of the next president whom I love." Do you even see the logical result of what you're arguing here? That the Russians (rightly) considered Trump a useful idiot? But congratulations on at least abandoning your silly belief that there was no collusion.

Oh, and by the way, the president is NOT "the man responsible for protecting the integrity of America's presidential elections". If you had to name one person who is responsible, it would probably be the chair of the FEC. But then most aspects of the elections are run by the states.

Nazi is short for "Nationalsozialistische," YDB95 - which is a German phrase meaning "National-Socialist!" The Nazis were socialist.

I repeat, the name was a marketing ploy to appeal to socialist voters. Nothing more.
From Encyclopedia Britannica:

Over the following years the brothers Otto and Gregor Strasser did much to grow the party by tying Hitler’s racist nationalism to socialist rhetoric that appealed to the suffering lower middle classes. In doing so, the Strassers also succeeded in expanding the Nazi reach beyond its traditional Bavarian base. By the late 1920s, however, with the German economy in free fall, Hitler had enlisted support from wealthy industrialists who sought to pursue avowedly anti-socialist policies. Otto Strasser soon recognized that the Nazis were neither a party of socialists nor a party of workers, and in 1930 he broke away to form the anti-capitalist Schwarze Front (Black Front). Gregor remained the head of the left wing of the Nazi Party, but the lot for the ideological soul of the party had been cast.

Hitler allied himself with leaders of German conservative and nationalist movements, and in January 1933 German President Paul von Hindenburg appointed him chancellor. Hitler’s Third Reich had been born, and it was entirely fascist in character. Within two months Hitler achieved full dictatorial power through the Enabling Act. In April 1933 communists, socialists, democrats, and Jews were purged from the German civil service, and trade unions were outlawed the following month. That July Hitler banned all political parties other than his own, and prominent members of the German Communist Party and the Social Democratic Party were arrested and imprisoned in concentration camps. Lest there be any remaining questions about the political character of the Nazi revolution, Hitler ordered the murder of Gregor Strasser, an act that was carried out on June 30, 1934, during the Night of the Long Knives. Any remaining traces of socialist thought in the Nazi Party had been extinguished.

"I didn't bring it up. I was talking about Trump, not Clinton. And you know it."

President Clinton's minions in the U.S. Senate kept his impeachment from ending his tenure in the White House! It's HISTORY! Let it go!

Did you miss "I was talking about Trump, not Clinton" even though you quoted it? Besides, the Senate that acquitted Clinton had a Republican majority. If you're old enough to remember the Clinton administration, you know perfectly well most Senate Republicans hated him. But they acquitted him. Get over it.

"And you're forgetting (or more likely never knew) that the sexual harassment investigation was subsequently thrown out of court."

The nazi party, or national socialists, were not socialists in the sense of Karl Marx's socialism.
I can see how someone woefully ignorant of politics and history could make that mistake, but really it displays wilfull ignorance.
The nazis stood for private property, they stood for free enterprise and capitalism, they sent trade unionists and Marxist socialists to the concentration camps. Yes they operated a police state but this was focussed primarily on weeding out racial impurity with a sideline in dialectic impurity. Police state are common to both right and left extremes of the political spectrum.
To apply the label nazi to a progressive democrat who states support for ideas that are Marxist socialist based, simply because of sharing the word "socialist" as in national socialist, is moronic.

But hey, what can you expect from someone who thinks that the judeau/Christian God is a different and unrelated divine entity from the Moslem God.

With people like this defending trump he doesn't have a chance.

bhurry adds: "The truth hurts. They do not care to hear or less understand that. Sad but true."

It's a witchhunt. It will all come down to the U.S. Senate, where President Trump will win, and the Democrats will once again blame our U.S. Constitution.

YDB95 writes (about Ilhan Omar): "Nope. Never said any of that. Do not put words in my mouth."

My bad. I forget that you NEVER bring-up Islamic/Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar because her anti-Semitism embarrasses you. I get it.

"You don't understand our U.S. Constitution very much. Have you ever even read it?"

I sure have! And after the U.S. Senate refuses to remove President Trump from office (as demanded by Nancy Pelosi's House Democrats), the progressive-left will BLAME the U.S. Constitution, just as they blamed the Electoral College for Hillary's defeat in 2016!

"There is no comparison between winning 2% of the states and winning 67% of the Senate seats."

After the Democratic Party loses elections, they ALWAYS tend to make such ridiculous comparisons! For example, only a DEMOCRAT would argue that their party losing two U.S. Senate seats means that the Democrats somehow emerged victorious!

"But congratulations on at least abandoning your silly belief that there was no collusion."

You didn't grasp the Mueller Report's conclusions. did you? Have you even read it?

"Nope. Never said any of that. Do not put words in my mouth."

Nope. You've NEVER admitted that Robert Byrd was a racist Ku Kux Klan officer, or that Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger spoke at Klan rallies. But that doesn't mean those things aren't true, either! Only that YOU never said it!

"Gregor remained the head of the left wing of the Nazi Party, but the lot for the ideological soul of the party had been cast."

Yes, and if only Otto & Gregor Strasser could have remained in charge, then Robert Byrd could have become a Nazi instead of a Klansman! I LOVE how you defend the socialist element of Nazism! Next you'll be trying to tell me that Antifa is actually ANTI-FASCIST!

"...the Senate that acquitted Clinton had a Republican majority."

Yes, and thanks to Barack Obama's disastrous health care legislation, we have a Republican U.S. Senate majority today! Trump will be acquitted, the same as Clinton! The House Democrats will LOSE! That's exactly what I've been saying all along!

"Nope. Never said any of that. Do not put words in my mouth."

That's right. My bad. Even YOU'VE acknowledged that Hillary's husband was a serial abuser of women. Nobody denies that anymore.

"I have, however, said Martin Luther King was an admirer of Sanger's. And you know it."

And next you'll be claiming that Martin Luther King was an admirer of Otto & Gregor Strasser & their version of National-Socialism!

Impeachment transcripts expose the truth: House Republicans don’t give a damn about protecting America

Transcripts of closed-door testimony in the Trump impeachment investigation show a disturbing pattern of behavior by Republican lawmakers, not one of whom expressed concern about our national security, White House undermining of our diplomats or their safety.

Maria Yovanovitch, who got a middle of the night call from the State Department telling her to be on the next plane out of Kyiv, told in vivid detail how the Trump Administration’s actions are “hollowing out” our State Department and benefitting our adversaries, notably Russia.

Rethuglicunts are just the worst form of politician.
