  1. That Mitch will allow a trial in the senate? That isn’t going to happen unless the GOP switches and backs impeachment. If it is only the Dems that want it, he’ll just change the rules. The “trial” is being conducted in the house. Public awareness and investigations are going on there
  2. The bottom line is that hearings and investigations are ongoing and need to continue to minimize chances of a potus re-election. There is likely a lot that we need to understand behind trump .org finances, nra/pac foreign monies, the bamboozle behind security clearances, and family separations

  4. Mitch McConnell isn’t going to allow that to happen no matter what Dems do
  5. My question still remains. You seem to be talking about hearings and public awareness rather than impeachment. They are different.
  6. Here's the bulk of what Sanders said (it's long, but important): "At the end of the day, what is most important to me is to see that Donald Trump is not re-elected president, and I intend to do everything I can to make sure that doesn't happen. "But if -- and this is an if -- if for the next year, year-and-a-half, going right into the heart of the election, all that the Congress is talking about is impeaching Trump and Trump, Trump, Trump, and Mueller, Mueller, Mueller, and we're not talking about health care, we're not talking about raising the minimum wage to a living wage, we're not talking about combating climate change, we're not talking about sexism and racism and homophobia, and all of the issues that concern ordinary Americans, what I worry about is that works to Trump's advantage." Sanders went on to say that he supports the House conducting an investigation into some of the seemingly obstructive behaviors by Trump documented by Mueller and that, once that investigation concludes, he was open to reassessing. https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/23/politics/bernie-sanders-impeachment-cnn-town-hall/index.html
  7. Who doesn’t currently know or feel like the GOP and trump are one? Is there a segment of the population that would suddenly understand this after it fails in the senate?
  8. How so? What rationale got you to this?
  9. Hearings are going on. Patience. A failed impeachment at this time doesn’t do anything but increase odds that potus is re-elected and any indictments have to wait longer
  10. No impeachment proceedings or failed impeachment proceedings would have the same outcome concerning “protecting the people and the country from a lawless autocracy” except one increases the potential potus remains in office and immune to prosecution. The idea a failed impeachment would help the Dems at the ballot box is a political question. It may be correct. But it may be incorrect. That is political calculation. Look to Nancy
  11. At this point, we aren’t talking about impeachment. We are talking about a failed impeachment that mobilizes potus’ base
  12. The house votes. It goes to the senate and fails. Do the Dems get constitutional medals? That is all that would happen except potentially provide fodder and fire up trump’s demagoguery and increase his odds of reelection. I don’t see how that is necessary. Removing potus from office should be what is considered necessary.
  13. Yes. The assertion is that impeachment by one party that fails will harm that party at the ballot.
  14. At this point, it is only a political question. Mueller has provided enough evidence for multiple counts of obstruction. No one is refusing to do it because it is scary. The GOP is refusing to do it because reasons - their base doesn’t want them to, they are squarely in potus’s corner - all political reasons. The Dems shouldn’t do it because it will decrease the odds of holding potus accountable at the ballot box - political reason.
  15. Impeachment is a political question. If the GOP wants to hold potus accountable, then impeachment should be done. If the GOP doesn’t want to hold potus accountable, then the public should indicate their displeasure at the ballot box. If the Dems move to impeach without the gop, it will fire up potus’s base and decrease the odds that potus and the GOP will be held accountable at the ballot box. The proper position at this time for the Dems is to hold hearings, disclose information to the public, and investigate trump’s finances. Moving to impeach without the gop is a dumb move
  16. This is a common misconception from folks with minimal or no experience in government or public service and who absorb excessive amounts of right wing media. The GOP’s selling point is that the government can’t do anything, so vote for them so they can prove the point
  17. It’s like opening all your windows so the mosquitos get in your house. Then closing the windows and sleeping outside
  18. Why stop at Devos? Rick Perry. Wilbur Ross. Ben Carson. Mulvaney. Herman Cain. Stephen Moore. Javanka. Anyone who thought a real estate developer/tv personality would drain the swamp is an idiot. Anyone who still thinks trump is draining the swamp watches Fox News
  19. The judge knew what it was. Where is the problem? Is your issue with the warrant of Carter Paige PhD? Read up on him. Guy had foreign tool written on his forehead. Are you mad that a journalist released it and you consider it misinformation? It was described as unconfirmed raw intelligence by the folks that released it to the public. Where is the problem? Are you a bastion of true factual information and this where you are taking a stand? If so, open POTUS's twitter account. #bothsides
  20. Everyone knew it was unconfirmed raw intelligence. No problem with that
  21. What if he was hiding campaign finance crimes where he conspired with his attorney to pay off a porn star and a model to hide his affairs during the campaign?
  22. Read the wiki page. Bernie lost fair and square and superdelegates didn’t block him. If you make an assertion, back it up. How is losing a primary the same as being blocked by the Dems? How do superdelegates have anything to do with Bernie being blocked by Dems? What concept are you attempting to articulate with negative reps? Explain yourself rather than acting emotionally with negative reps
