It's obvious that Trump will survive a Senate vote. I reckon that non-Democrat voters, everyone else in the world knows this. ===== Leftist Americans, anti-Trump Americans, Californian-Americans - are still, well, Americans. Trump knows this.

Yukon 2 Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Trump will not be removed from office. Trump is a king and can legally do whatever he wants. Don't kid yourselves into believing the [email protected] the American preach about their vaunted Constitution. Trump can, is, and will do exactly what he pleases and no one repeat no one can stop him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think the Democrats did it to appease some of their base. But it sets a terrible precedent for future presidents. Disputes and issues that congress has had with the executive branch used to be settled by congress going to court over, now are being used as reasons for impeachment. And the impeachment article of obstruction of congress is a complete joke. Every single previous president could have faced impeachment over that charge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's clearly being exonerated - on the basis that the radical left's impeachment is an attempt at regime change.

The Dems said on the day that he was inaugurated that their goal was to impeach him and they didn't even have a reason yet. They've bee saying ever since that day that they wanted to impeach him. Then they faked a russian collusion scenario for 3 years to try and impeach him. They used fake intel - bought and paid for from russians by their presidential candidate no less - to start the fake Russian collusion investigation. They tried to get one of Trump's SCJ appointees rejected based on the testimony of a complainant who said that the appointee "attempted" to rape her but that complainant named 4 witnesses who never saw or heard of the incident, she couldn't name a week or a month or even a year that it happened, she couldn't name the place it happened, she claimed to have phobias as a result of the attack but she was proven to have acted in ways which proved that she truly didn't have those phobias, she lied about other things in those proceedings and the Dems never wavered on their patently phoney stance. This newest impeachment proceeding was started off with blatant lying, and almost every time they talk about the phone call to Zelenski they tell the same material lies. "When Zelenski talked about military aid, Trump came right back with 'we want a favour from you' and he asked them to investigate Biden". That's a total fabrication. Trump asked them about crowdstrike at that point, and crowdstrike has nothing at all to do with Biden - it only has ties to the bogus Russian collusion investigation. Zelenski replied to that comment before the topic ever got around to Biden. And it's blatantly obvious to everyone on earth that the Biden family received millions of dollars from Hunter's "completely random hiring that Joe never even heard about" and then Joe gave the Ukrainians a stern ultimatum to grant them what seems very likely to have been a personal favour. Honestly a person would have to be incredibly stupid to buy anything that the Dems are selling right now. This all goes to prove Mark Twain's saying "It's easier to fool a person than to convince them that they've been fooled". CNN could say literally anything right now and without a moment's thought on the topic you'd turn around and regurgitate it as if you were the world's leading expert on the subject.

eyeball 1,319 Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 Honestly? I expect this much evidence of the radical let's evil will at some point trigger a Republican President to take responsibility do the right thing and declare themselves President for the duration of the emergency. If voters want their democracy protected at all costs that's what voters should get don't you think? And something will definitely have to be done about CNN. For the sake of the nation.
