Republicans

It’s the HoR’s job to determine what is and isn’t a crime.

Actually, no it isn't, but regardless, yuo still fail to understand what impeachment really means.

 

[phrodeau]

I did. You might be interested to know that impeachment is NOT conviction. If your basis for believing Trump is a criminal is that pile a garbage, then Go Fish.

People who commit crimes are criminals. People who get convicted are convicts.

 

[gunthernehmen]

People who commit crimes are criminals. People who get convicted are convicts.

You clearly flunked logic.

A criminal can be indicted, convicted and go to prison.

A criminal can be indicted, convicted and not go to prison.

A criminal can be indicted and not convicted.

A criminal can be not indicted.

An innocent person can be indicted, convicted and go to prison.

An innocent person can be indicted, convicted and not go to prison.

An innocent person can be indicted and not convicted.

An innocent person can be not indicted.

You personally believe Trump committed crimes. That's your belief and that's ok. I still believe in the Easter Bunny.

The fact that we both hold these beliefs, doesn't make them true.

Who’s worse: Russians or the Republicans?

Ever since the 2016 election, the U.S. intelligence community has consistently claimed that Russia and its agents continue to work to undermine American elections. When intel officials returned to Congress on Feb. 13 to warn — as required by law — that Russians are already interfering in the 2020 election to aid President Trump, several Republican lawmakers pushed back against the assessment before rushing to the White House to complain.

So while Republicans in Congress openly act to support Russian interference in our elections, Republicans in state legislatures across the country are determined to limit the number of Americans who can actually vote. Without these twin assaults on democracy, they know they can’t win.

 

[gunthernehmen]

(Some chaotic yammering about Republicans, voting and Russians)

Well of course they want to limit actual voting to people that are eligible to vote!

Dead people shouldn't vote. Live people shouldn't vote more than once or in someone else's name. Voters should case their votes in the place they live, not the place they happen to temporarily be.

That's all any reasonable person could ask for.

Which is perhaps why it is NOT what the Republicans are after.

So who is the Republican Party trying to disenfranchise?

Shitposting on the internet, triggering the shit out of lefties, and getting them to expose their white hot searing hatred of the USA and white people, isn't interfering with any elections no matter how many #Resistance officials pretend it is.

 

[BotanyBoy]

Yes it is, that's what voter ID should cover.

So who is the Republican Party trying to disenfranchise?

All the people of color and women who according to "progressives" are all too stupid and poor to go get a fuckin' ID.

Asked and answered repeatedly. I see no point in explaining it again if your only response is going to accuse me of "fake news" or some such.

These board Trumpettes are such idiots they seem to think everyone else is too.

Frequently asked. Never answered.

If you make a statement you ought to be able to provide supporting sources. Isn't that what you always claim?

I don't suppose you would consider placing me on Ignore, would you? At least most of the others make a pretense at discussion.

 

[allison22]

In the two weeks since the GOP Senate refused to hold Trump accountable, he has:
—Intervened in the sentencing of his accomplice
—Called for prosecution of his “enemies”
—Punished witnesses who spoke out
—Fired the Director of National Intelligence for daring to brief Congress

So, do Republicans like Susan Collins still believe that Trump has learned his lesson?

Learned his lesson?? LOL

Did the (D)umbass (D)eez learn theirs?? Probably not.

Please try another non-crime impeachment, like "Russia Russia RUSSIA!! *foot stamping*" that you can't prove, and do it late this summer....making damn sure he wins in November.

Upsetting the anti-American left isn't an attempt to disenfranchise anyone.

I just did provide a cite on this very topic, on that other thread. You ignored it.

I addressed your fear about elderly blacks.

If any of those people you pretend to care about want to drive a car, enter a federal building, buy a beer or take a flight to visit family in another state then they have an id.

Not the scummiest tactic I've seen the left use, but it's right up there.

 

[YDB95]

If any of those people you pretend to care about want to drive a car, enter a federal building, buy a beer or take a flight to visit family in another state then they have an id.

We're mostly talking about older voters. They're extremely unlikely to be asked for ID if they want to buy beer. As for your other examples, if your point is that it's easy to get an ID so you can do those things, the whole point of these voter ID laws is that they effectively make that more difficult. That's not just some conspiracy theory, it's been backed by studies: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/07/poll-prri-voter-suppression/565355/

And this might come as a surprise to you, but not everyone has a driver's license or ever gets on a plane, especially not if they're poor.

Well, if they lived in Norway, or in almost any country other than the US, they wouldn't be voting, either, since you can't do that without an ID in most countries.

Illegal immigrants have no trouble obtaining ID cards.

The lingering effects of Jim Crow don't apply in most countries.

 

[gunthernehmen]

Correct. Let's fix that by deporting them and keeping them out with a wall.

Meanwhile, ask yourself WHY illegals have so little trouble abusing the good will of this country.

Nor in most states.

Republican senators confront Trump officials as stock market drops 1,900 points in two days

Senators from both parties slammed the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus amid dire warnings from health officials.

The Senate was briefed by Trump administration officials after Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said the administration was “asleep at the wheel” as the country faces a “pandemic.”

Senators apparently did not get the answers they were looking for.

Why doesn't Trumpski go to China to show them how to deal with a pandemic?

Then he'd be a danger to Republicans and we would just not let him back into the country?

A WIn-WIn!
