Impeachment madness

https://youtu.be/EQ3K1cyC0ls

So apparently the impeachment has been possibly exposed as a political hit job against our president (not at all surprised).

This will die in the senate, absolutely none of the Republicans voted against Trump. I predict he is still on track to win next November and I hope that the likes of Pelosi, Schiff, AOC, Omar, etc all find themselves without jobs.

What say all of you?

Also, keep it civil.

The proposition that because a witness MAY be a Democrat, therefore his account of events must be flawed, is, well, flawed logic.

This, however, is Trump's trademark, and he's been very successful in imprinting it on his supporters.

When a judge rules against him, in the Trump University case, it's not because he's guilty of defrauding the most vulnerable, but because the judge is Mexican (never mind that the judge is from Colorado).

When Mueller takes a position, it's not because he's a good, impartial investigator, it's because he's got a conflict of interest, seeing that years ago, he was a member of a Trump Golf club, and asked for partial refund, as he was moving.

The fact, is that the IG, a Republican Trump appointee, saw that the complaint was credible.

The fact, is that the special envoy to the Ukraine, a decorated veteran, was spooked enough about it.

The fact, is that even Bolton, thought it was credible.

This is hardly a hit job. The other way of thinking about it, is the GOP House members, who voted against today, are scared about losing, if they don't support Trump, and not because they think he did not do anything wrong.

The GOP was screaming about not being let in on the hearings. The fact though, is that this was all theatrics, especially the staged "storming" of the hearing room. A total of 43 GOP House Members, had full access to the hearings, as members of the three committees allowed to participate. Democrats, who are NOT part of these committees, were not allowed to attend either.

As far as 2020 is concerned, we shall see, but in the short term, it is up to the House to take the next step, in preventing a slide into authoritarianism.

Are you willing to consider facts, or continue watching random Vloggers, waxing philosophic on YouTibe?

@Northwest [quote]Inspector General Michael Atkinson wrote, “Further although the ICIG’s preliminary reviewed identified some indicia of bias of an arguable political bias on the part of the complainant in favor of a rival political candidate, such evidence did not change my determination that the complaint relating to the urgent concern ‘appears credible’ particularly given the other information the ICIG obtained during its preliminary review.”[/quote]
Seems pretty simple to me 🤷‍♂️

@QuixoticSoul It is pretty simple. The IG was doing his job, like he should. Trump thinks government workers are subjects, and loyalists. The Constitution gives clear guidance, that this is NOT the case, and their job, along with our elected officials, is to protect the Republic and the interest of the people, not the President.

@Northwest Ah, but see - anyone who made a career out of working for the government over multiple administrations, and rose through the ranks with a reputation for professionalism and bipartisanship?

Deep state agent.
