“Drummed up” Articles of impeachment were given a thumbs down by the Senate. Everyone knows that.
So twice being shot down equates to a futile effort to either and removing the person from office and never to have him be eligible to run again for political gain.
And come November affirmation of We The People will validate this very abuse kicking Pelosi out of her speakers chair and many others involved here to the curb.
The only difference is that it is not a criminal indictment, it’s a political one. The only thing the senate can do is vote to remove the person who was impeached or not.
So which thing does the GOP want to say is okay for a President to do?
The withholding of foreign aid until an investigation into a domestic political rival is publicly announced or the attempt to overturn the results of an election that he lost?
45 was impeached in the House by a partisan group of hacks with a boatload of hopes, lies and bull ■■■■ for evidence. The first sham should be expunged and removed from the Congressional record. Should the Republicans secure the majority in the House after November each Dimbulbcrat participant of the House Judiciary committee headed up by Jerry Nads should be stripped of their seat for the wanton abuse of the powers that was given to them as a member of that committee.
The second clown show remains to be seen.
I was stopped by police and questioned once. Is that a black mark against me? The impeachment is like a grand jury indictment. It says that some people think the defendant has a case to answer.
The trial determines whether those people were thinking right. An acquittal says they were not right. They had a weak case.
The Dems cobbled together a weak indictment which the Senate threw out. It’s rather desperate to claim an overturned indictment/impeachment is incriminating or impugning.
So the GOP led Senate decided that the President gets the shiny new powers to 1) withhold foreign aid until that foreign government publicly announces an investigation into a domestic political rival and 2) get to do everything in their power to attempt to overturn the results of an election that they lost.
When only the party in power votes lock-step to impeach, and the other party is not on board, it’s meaningless – especially in the current political arena of trying to elevate one’s party by destroying people from the other.
The question that started the thread will just be the reverse of that.
Somehow this cycle of political guerilla warfare has to stop.
Sad to say, I don’t see that happening any time soon.
