Impeach Trump for the Good of the Country

[BigRed]

I often wonder what Jefferson have to say of this current "general government".

 

[Tombs]

Trump never tried to be the bigger man. That wasn’t, and isn’t in his character. Your claim is demonstrably false, like really really false.

Then why didn't he pursue hillary after election?

This just proves how much of a farce this is. This isn't legit. The Chief Justice is not even presiding.

An old Democrat hack is occupying the seat presiding over the proceedings and participating in the voting as well..

 

[Hawkeye]

Well...he did like Big Macs.

I thought that was Wet Willy - remember his famous jogging in DC with a stopover at McD's?

 

[Hawkeye]

Is the Senate supposed to be a court of law in an impeachment trial?

Yes

 

[Hawkeye]

Sooooo, I’m missing the point. BLM guy photographs the Trump Supporter Capitol Insurrection; and that means.....?

It seems to go to the credibility of the "evidence" and its editing. I thought a former LEO would understand that. Or is everything presented by the "prosecution" (persecution? ) supposed to be accepted as unimpeachable gospel?

They would prob not agree with the way the government is being run.

Sullivan is the producer of that video, and he has an axe to grind - or are you saying someone like Michael Moore provides the unvarnished truth and his narrative doesn't bleed over

Well, generally there needs to an allegation of wrongdoing before impeaching the subject. I haven’t seen the videos he posted as “evidence,” and the possibility of his editing. Do you have something you could direct me to, that seems “fishy?”

Now do....Mike Lindell?

I don't think Mike Lindell has an axe to grind per se, other than he's legitimately pissed that people are trying to cancel him for his views. But as for the views themselves, I think he is a bit deluded.

 

[KG1]

The Democrats have done a lot of selective editing in their presentation thus far. None of this crap would have even been admissible in a court of law.

This is done strictly to sway a court of opinion.

In this analysis they cite a perfect example of the kind of selective editing the Democrats are engaged in.

The Chief Justice is not required legally for this. He is only required for impeaching the President. Trump is no longer president, ergo he is not required.

I can see the argument that since he WAS the president the CJ could be involved, but as this one can be interpreted both ways I don't think it's illegitimate for the impeachment process to continue without him.

Well, the argument is, then he can't be impeached, because he's not the President.

 

[Kutnupe14]

He already was impeached while president. Your opinion offers a troubling realization, if you are correct in thinking this trial is invalid because Trump is out of office. It almost certainly mean, that in the waning months of a presidency, the president can essentially commit all types of high crimes and misdemeanors, and if he resigns or runs out the clock; he can’t be held liable for certain penalties associated with impeachment. Do you think the founders intended it to be that way, or was it something they hadn’t considered?

 

[actaeon277]

What can he do in his last days off office, at least by the Constitution.
Declaring war is supposed to be Legislature.
Making a law is supposed to be Legislature.

Maybe people need to stop giving Presidents of either Party more power.

 

[actaeon277]

Also, it's to get him out of office.
He's out of office.

You just proved the point then that this is no longer an impeachment trial as act has pointed out. The Chief Justice pretty much made a defacto statement as to Senate jurisdictional de-legitimacy by not presiding.
