Impeachment Trial Thread

Midnite - man your passion is thru the roof - did u stay up all night for the hearing? Don't get to the point of fixation. Not

             worth it. Ill state a couple more opinions then move on. Yes, I watched the Inquiry and listened to all the witnesses 

             you named above. Only one had direct contact with the President or the phone call. All others were opinions only

             of what they thought the President meant. The guy who spoke directly with the President was Sondland who was told

            no quid pro quo.The other witnesses you mentioned told by Trump not to testify could have been easily required to

            by simply takin it to court. So that doesn't hold water. As for the Antifa comment, I was making the point of if you

            don't agree with what the Dems spew out, then your opinion doesn't matter. I could care less if you were a member, but 

           I get your point. I apologize. As for Biden, he is corrupt, as many many others. His whole family has benefited from his

          position. That is corruption. His love for America is another irrelevant issue. I do believe strongly that there should be

         term limits. This would let congressman and women make decisions on beliefs and not simply be a minnion to Pelosi and Schumer.

          You didn't or couldn't phase me with any personal opinion on my character and I didn't take offense to anything you said. I

         don't live my life for anybody else's opinion. Family first and fk the irrelevant sh it that can't be controlled. 

     As I stated in the DEtox thread (Please read if you get a chance), I hate all politicians- Well 90% - they simply have

     decayed anything that resembles morality and ethical behavior. Virtue and responsibility are not part of Congress. I

    personally find it embarrassing that our country is where it is, behavior wise. Alright man I'm out. Appreciate the banter.

    Only one thing matters in life, take care of your own family. Sounds corny, but how would the world be if all felt the same.

     Peace out

One last point I can't let go  from post number 74. You say the Republicans are nothin but hypocrits.   WOW truly amazing comment.

But very fitting from a Dem. Unbelievable

Mark Meadows (R-NC) said he didn't think John Bolton had anything to add.

Really? 

Just wondering. Did the Ukraine destroy a Russian tank with a blanket, bed sheet and an MRE during the Obama Presidency? 

Wrong thread. This isn't about Obama but I'll answer your question.

Obama did not provide lethal assistance but rather defense assistance in the manner of UVA's, counter mortar radar, night vision devices and badly needed medical supplies. He also provided over 200 Humvee vehicles. 

He doubled the aid previously provided by Bush.

Schiff talking about courage of witnesses who have come forward is an attempt to give Senate audience a courage injection.

I'm afraid they are immune to this type of injection. They checked their spines with their cell phones..

Jim Inhofe (R-OK) is the first casualty to sleep, not even 30 minutes after the day begins. His seat neighbor, Senator Todd Young (R-IN), nudged Inhofe’s forearm, which woke him up. Todd then leaned over and whispered something to Inhofe and Inhofe nodded.

To Inhofe's credit, he was one of the Senators who questioned Trump's holding of the aid to Ukraine.

This is hard to watch! I think someone representing the Dems should purchase air time and sincerely apologize to America for putting the country through multiple hoaxes!

Schiff points out the central weakness of Trump’s defense: he can’t dispute the facts. He did it. That’s why all the thumping of the table, withholding documents & gagging witnesses. That’s why this president can’t testify under oath in his own defense.

Is there anything on the planet more disingenuous than a Dem talking about the Constitution and American values?

Yes, a lying POS in the WH.

Basically all true bws! What is wrong with the Dems apologizing to America for multiple, multiple hoaxes perpetrated by the hardcore communist Left?

The Inauguration for President Trump took place on 20 January 2017. A headline in the Washington Poson on 20 January 2017 st 1319 hours EST was:

The campaign to impeach President Trump has begun.

Say what! Truly classy!

My schtick is not old bws. It is the relentless pursuit by the Dems to take out President Trump that is truly old and tiresome.

Dreaded typo. Washington Post

One of the rules of this trial is for Senators to sit quietly in their chairs. You can't force anyone to listen but they can't be milling around the Senate floor or leaving the floor for an extended period of time.

When Jason Crow (D-CO) was speaking that was not the case with as many as 22 empty seats on the Republican side of the room.

Crow turned to Chief Justice John Roberts & asked if a break was needed since there were so many people missing. It's Roberts job to maintain the decorum in the room & to ensure the rules are being followed. He failed to do it & Crow properly called him out on it. 

Well done Captain Crow. Well done & thank you for your service.

Question: Why did Trump eventually release the aid to Ukraine?

Answer: Because he got caught!

What if he didn't get caught? What if President Zelensky was forced to make up phony dirt on Joe Biden?

Think about it. If it could happen to a Democratic candidate, it could happen to a Republican as well.

This isn't supposed to happen in America. This shit happens in 3rd world countries.

Think about it. 

The clip of Mick Mulvaney telling the press & the American public "to get over it" is going to be played over & over during campaigns all across the country.

The GOP better find a better response to it rather than ignoring it.

What Schiff is doing here is brilliant. He's referencing docs he doesn't have, reminding the Senate that they can demand those docs, and then explaining what "other witnesses under oath" have said about those docs.

I have thought about it. The lethal aid for the Ukraine arrived on time.

There would not have been phony dirt on Joe Biden

The greatest crime fighter in American history named 'Rudy' will make sure only the truth will come out related to Humter,  Joe and Burisma. 

I would like to hear from the Whistleblower and the staff of Adam Schiff.

There's a lot of people I would like to hear from as well.

Schiff laid out a narrative that is so clear and undeniable with tons of documents, video, emails and important testimony that defenders of Trump only have a few choices of dealing with it all. They could be complicit, obtuse or immoral in rejecting the evidence so far.

I'll be back tomorrow.
