Actually, I am quite sad today. This is due to the fact that the president will be impeached. If not today then tomorrow. But still I feel it is a sad day for us here in the US. When Billy Bob Clinton was impeached I was glad he was and I was happy he was not removed from office. I felt then, as I still do that it would have hurt the US more to remove him than it did by letting him serve the rest of his term. I felt Nixon should have been impeached and removed. But he left before that occurred. It is just so sad that our party politics has come down to this where one party feels like they have to make shit up and go thru the process of impeachment in order to remove a political rival whom they despise. What a shame our party politics has come down to this. Shameful.  :'( :'( :'(

The silver lining is that while Nixon resigned before the official impeachment, and Clinton was tried and acquitted with a less-than-two-thirds vote to convict, Trump will be vindicated with a complete dismissal of charges before the trial progresses beyond opening statements.

With no Republicans in the House voting to impeach, the Senate has a duty to shut this Schiff Show down ASAP.  If there was "overwhelming evidence" as the Dems keep parroting, at least ONE Republican would side with them.  Instead, a few Dems have come over to the Republican side to vote against this debacle.

Just like any judge would do when the prosecutor files bogus charges, the Senate should move to dismiss at their first opportunity.  No sense in wasting the country's time in yet another tax-funded venue to scream "Orange Man Bad!!"

I can't wait for the Durham criminal investigation to wrap up.   :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

According to witnesses, he walked (stumbled) in, went straight to the toilet paper aisle, opened a pack, and did his business.  He was suspected to be intoxicated/high when he came in.

Is it your position that if I don't offer public restrooms in my business, it's my fault if someone defecates on my floor?  Really?  Human waste is considered a biohazard.  Are you willing to clean it up if it happens every day?

My understanding is that Trump would prefer acquittal over dismissal. And I think McConnell agrees with that route as long as he has 51 votes to do it. Dismissing is easier and shorter but Acquittal can come shortly after the trial gets started but before anything evidentiary would be presented. And acquittal means more in the process. We’ll see how it plays out. My understanding is that the Senate has some obligation to go to trial without dismissal tho I am not too sure about that.

Durham criminal investigation probably won’t wrap up until right before the elections next year. Politically speaking sort of a bad time. At the same time if they wait, Trump could theoretically lose the election and then any indictments brought might be snubbed and for naught if he does lose. I think the best scenario would be to wrap it up right after Trump wins so the Dems can’t claim that Barr is working to elect Trump by releasing the report right before the elections. Let’s face it, Biden could easily be the Dems pick and if they release indictments right before the election it would look like Nazi Germany to those low information voters and would give the press and Dems fodder to claim Trump is truly a Nazi and here is the proof. Impeach orange man, again, and again, again, and again.......

Yes, I read that this morning. Some hack writer brought this up as how the Dems should play this. My guess is that she won’t do that but who knows with these people. TDS effects everyone differently. If she does play it this way I think it backfires on them even more than this impeachment has. Even tho the writer made it sound like that the Dems would hold power over the Senate/Repubs, I think it will make the Dems look more like the spoiled little children that they already are. I think the Dems base want to see a trial in the Senate. But you may be right, she might run the pause play. We should know in the next couple of days I would think.

When Pelosi read the vote results impeaching Trump, a good many on the Dem side of the chamber started clapping and cheering.

Pelosi gave them the evil eye and made a "cut it out" gesture.

So much for "this is a solemn and sad decision" the Dems have been parroting.

We all know better.  They've been screaming at the sky for 3 years.  They finally have Trump where they wanted him.

Such f**king liars and hypocrites.  How anybody watching stays with that Socialist Party is beyond comprehension.  The only thing I can figure out is they all have the same unscrupulous desire to have their people in power at any cost.

Personally I think, or maybe I’m hoping, it’s really a no win situational this point for her. Went down this path so far and didn’t quite get the effect I think they were looking for. But now too late to go back. Talked all that shit while making her way up to the top of Waimea rock. Now at the edge and go time, but water looking shallow. Jump, maybe hit bottom and disaster. Back out, other consequences.

Trump may not be the first President to be impeached and (soon-to-be) acquitted/have articles dismissed, but he's the first to be impeached in his first term.

That sets him up to be the first impeached President to be reelected!!   :geekdanc:

WINNING!!   :thumbsup:

I can't wait until the day after the 2020 elections.  The Socialist Progressive losers will have backed another nominee who can't beat Trump -- even AFTER they impeached him!  LOL!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I believe that it is already a no win situation for them. I think they are grasping at straws at this point. They are desperate. And it shows IMO. In the end, it may not even matter which path they take. I think this has backfired on them. And hopefully it will show how much it backfired at the polls next year. I think it is too much to ask that we get the house back. It probably won’t happen. It may but I think it is a long hard climb that a lot of good things have to happen all at once and I doubt that much good will happen. If it does and we get the house back, it will mean the Dems lost BIG. They hopefully will lose big no matter which way the house goes. Now if we win back a bunch of seats in the house in 2020 but not control, I do see a path to gain it back in 2022.

I think we will hold on to the senate. I think we are going to continue to see these shenanigans until at least 2022 - 2024.

Didn’t they promise revolution 😳

But seriously, more and more are starting to see how radical that “band” of people have become. Look who are keeping somewhat of a low profile these days and not being so blatant about their radical ideals. Even many Dems pointing that out.

Listening to Ben Shapiro podcast this morning, he was saying that Bernie is gaining on Biden and almost in a dead heat (Warren is falling off) and it could easily be Bernie vs Trump next year. He was laughing and making fun of him. The voice he makes imitating Bernie is hilarious. Can you imagine all the hate Bernie spews against all the positive things Trump stands for. It could be Trump trumps hate in the next election. From my own perspective Bernie’s health is in play. Just his having a heart issue not too long ago is enough to keep me from voting for him (Not that I would anyway). At least Trump is relatively healthy eating McDonalds and drinking Diet Coke.

An interesting take on the democrat games being played:


"As interested observers will note the House never voted to authorize the full judicial impeachment process; instead they voted to approve an inquiry into whether an impeachment should take place."

So they voted for a impeachment inquiry, not to impeach and send to the Senate. So this really is NOT a impeachment, only approving a investigation.

Not that most of the MSM and Democrats care. Then they get to impeach him several times until he is actually impeached."


As if the traitorous bastards have not "investigated" enough after three years+.

Pelosi said tonight that she may not send the articles of impeachment to the Senate!   :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

She said she will hold them until she knows what the Senate rules will be.   :wtf:

If I were McConnell, I'd make the rules so lopsided for Trump that Pelosi decides not to forward them. That'll really put the cherry on this crap sundae!  If she doesn't forward the articles, it proves what a sham circus this Schiff Show was from the start.
