Game Thread: Impeachment Trial

Recommended Posts

The appearance is that Trump and Barr may have been dangling leniency to extradition to the oligarch Firtash in exchange for dirt on Biden too and the elimination of Yanakovich.  It also appears that Yanakovich getting fired was made contingent on getting dirt from the corrupt former prosecutor of Ukraine.  I guess this guy hated Yanokovich and wanted her removed.  I am guessing people are going to be pulling on those strings a little more.

We may see articles of impeachment against Barr and Pence soon.  Maybe then the house will "finish its job!"   

Oh please please let the House impeach Pence and Barr too.  That would be pure gold!

No. It shows they want to make their best case that Mr. Grumpy should be impeached.

There isn't a snowball's chance in hell that Trump will be removed from office so this is all about two things. One, persuading the 20% of the electorate who are in the middle to all reject maybe the worst president ever come November. And two, history. This isn't some minor trial which people will forget about several months after the verdict. It's a proceeding which will be studied for hundreds of years and as sactownguy said the other day, the entirety of the evidence which has come out shows that Trump is "guilty as sin." So in order to maximize the chances of all such evidence being brought forward, she needs her power hitters to go to bat and whatever you may think of Schiff as a person, as prosecutors go, he's Barry Bonds.

Lmfao so this isn’t about protecting the constitution or just good people doing the right thing. Thanks for saying the quiet part out loud.

As far as history goes, why was Andrew Johnson impeached again, and why wasn’t he removed? 

We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch.

Sure it's partially about politics and insofar as I may have implied that was irrelevant, I misspoke.

One thing I'm sure of is this. For those of whatever party who think Might Makes Right, Mitch McConnell may go down as one of our country's greatest senators. However, for those who believe that not even the president is above the law, McConnell will go down in history as a cad. (Most diplomatic description I can come up with for the guy. Maybe I should start calling him President McConnell also but that sounds too complimentary.)

Boom goes the dynamite.

I think people will look back at this era like we looked back at mccarthyism in school.  Basically a situation of mass hysteria and group think because they hated the black president and nobody will want to admit they were a Trumper.  Thankfully it is a lot harder to run away from that in the age of social media.  Who is defending mccarthy these days?

Oh McCarthyism is alive and well. Don’t worry your little head about that.

Among the things which really bothers me about support for Trump is how obvious it is that much of it is a backlash against our first African American president.

Boom goes the dynamite.

.................Meanwhile Putin & Assad caught on video laughing at trump, just like western leaders 

‘ASSAD ABOUT THE ROAD TO DAMASCUS, ON WHICH THE APOSTLE PAUL BECAME A CHRISTIAN: IF TRUMP GOES ALONG THIS ROAD, EVERYTHING WILL BECOME NORMAL WITH HIM RIGHT AWAY. PUTIN: INVITE HIM, HE WILL COME. ASSAD: I’M READY. PUTIN: I’LL TELL HIM’

‘АСАД О ДОРОГЕ В ДАМАСК, НА КОТОРОЙ СТАЛ ХРИСТИАНИНОМ АПОСТОЛ ПАВЕЛ: ЕСЛИ ТРАМП ПО ЭТОЙ ДОРОГЕ ПРОЕДЕТ, СРАЗУ СТАНЕТ С НИМ ВСЕ НОРМАЛЬНО. ПУТИН: ПРИГЛАСИТЕ ЕГО, ОН ПРИЕДЕТ. АСАД: Я ГОТОВ. ПУТИН: Я ЕМУ ПЕРЕДАМ’

........ really dude? 

I’m not accusing you or anybody here of that and I don’t think @thelawlorfaithful was either.  He was just citing that as an example of the current talking point of everybody in the GOP is doing the bidding of Putin.
