New rules for impeachment procedures (1 Viewer)

Goodbye civilized discourse and love and respect for one another. The anti-God and Jew party is now in charge reminding us they are not bound by Christian rules of civility but by the new dog-eat-crap jack-booted rules of the barbarian democrap party.

For a Christian, you're not civil or respectful and undermine Christian values with your hypocrisy, bigotry and putrid hate.
 
From your cited report...
"Democrats are holding hearings behind closed doors and have so far provided Republicans with little more than the right to question witnesses who show up in a secure hearing room in the basement of the U.S. Capitol."

What do you think should happen and isn't? Do you think the press should be present during every stage of an investigation? Because that's what this is- an investigation. When (and if) it becomes an impeachment proceding you can rest assured that every 'i' will be dotted and every 't' crossed.

My bad. Of course you are right. This is not an impeachment process because the House has not even voted to begin the impeachment process. This is a democrat-controlled and manipulated secret investigation and spin banning any republicans in order to keep them from asking inconvenient questions of their carefully chosen Trump-hating witnesses.

Is it the jeeeeeews? Lol
 
Has he got a copy of the bipartisan impeachment procedural rules drafted by the House Judiciary Committee in 1988? Doesn't he also see how different the republicans dealt with democrats in 1998 than democrats deal with republicans in 2019?

You got nothing. Get over it.

For the umpteenth time, there are Republicans on all of the committees asking questions. Why do you have to make **** up to make a point?
 
It's an investigation, and Republicans have the right to question witnesses. What do you think should be happening?


I heard republicans were not allowed to cross examine the carefully selected democrat witnesses and were not allowed to call witnesses of their own. I have also heard that Schitff and crew are the only ones allowed to secretly pour over the testimony from the witnesses and to paraphrase the testimony to make it look like they are right to charge Trump with whatever crime they finally decide to charge him with.
 
With all due respect, I believe the bolded above is erroneous for most non-extreme sample groups. Culling one's polling group to meet demographic representation, adds it's own bias errors. The standard methodology for quality polls is to use weighting to correct for sample group non-normal variation. This has been accepted practice for eons, and all quality polls do it.
Uh, I didn't make that up. It's a well-established technique in polling a sample so that the result correlates to the entire population.
Chomsky said:
But let's remember what the poster was claiming. He claimed Trump's approval numbers grew in a positive fashion since the impeachment inquiry began. This is demonstrably incorrect, and all the polls since have been seemingly unanimous in showing this, and they also moved not just in the same direction but in similar quantities. I don't see how anyone can argue against such overwhelming evidence.
I'm not sure it's "demonstrably incorrect". I'd suggest you're seeing the polls that play the sampling games that result in result the Democratic Propaganda Directorate, aka the mainstream media want you to see.
Chomsky said:
It's one thing to question a poll's specific numerical quantity, like 48%, 52%, etc. It's a whole 'nother thing to question all the polls moving in the same direction with similar changes in quantity.
Suit yourself.
Chomsky Agreed! But that wasn't the point the poster was making ...[/QUOTE said:

Where did you hear that? At the nail salon?

Democracy dies in the dark. People are giving Pelosi and Schiff the stink eye and it's well deserved. Secret tribunals went out with the Nazis why aren't they showing it on CNN or MSDNC?
 
Might I suggest not to lose so many elections then? That way you can make the rule changes like you did when you guys were in charge.

Good advice. I look forward to the upcoming debates between Trump and whatever hapless democrat ends up with the nomination, provided the democrats have not found a way by then to kill him or have him removed from office by whatever means they can find in their desperation to get him off the ticket and out of the race.

I heard trump eats kittens
 
If you mean Mueller, his investigation didn't cover the area that triggered the more recent inquiry.

Schitff's lying paraphrased misrepresentation of Trump's phone call and the secret meetings between Schitff and the now disappeared whistleblower triggered the current closed door secret democrats only kangaroo court investigation of Trump.
 
The more they hate on Trump the more popular he becomes. He's like a real life superhero it's the most heartwarming story ever.

I doubt he becomes more popular, more like his popularity remains unphased, despite all the ukraine bs impeachment inquiries and syria withdraw, trump has remained static with his approval rating, and is pretty much identical to where obama was at this point in the presidency, he seems unable to climb past 40-45% but he also seems like a brick wall in terms of attacks never straying too long below that number.
 
Republicans allowed democrats to openly and fairly participate in the impeachment proceedings against Clinton in 1998. Democrats in the proceedings against Trump have told the republicans to go to hell of they think the democrats will reciprocate by allowing republicans to participate in their closed door unofficial secret impeachment proceedings against Trump.

Here is a grateful word of thanks from democrat John Conyers to republican Judiciary Committee Chairman Henry Hyde in 1998:

"You know as well as I," Conyers told Hyde, "that whatever action this committee takes must be fair, it must be bipartisan, for it to have credibility. The American people deserve no less, and history will judge us by how well we achieve that goal."


Sorry, Mr. Conyers, Adam Schitff cannot allow republicans to participate because his case is being built on inaccurate and dishonest twists of evidence for the purpose of achieving the supreme goal of all democrats leading up to the 2020 election: 'Trump must be impeached before he has the chance to stomp the democrat candidate in the 2020 election.'

Democrats have abandoned bipartisan format of Clinton impeachment

What impeachment proceedings are happening?
AFAIK, it's an inquiry.

Has there been a vote to begin an impeachment proceeding?
Can you post the link that the vote has taken place?
 
Democracy dies in the dark. People are giving Pelosi and Schiff the stink eye and it's well deserved. Secret tribunals went out with the Nazis. Why aren't they showing it on CNN or MSDNC?

What secret tribunal? For the love of God.....this is an investigation. They are usually done behind the scenes until the facts that are going to be presented are gathered. Do you call every police investigation that happens in your town a secret tribunal as well, or only because Donald Trump is the subject of this particular one?

You do realize that the discovery (not be be confused with the legal term in a criminal trial) portion of the Clinton impeachment didn't happen on TV either, right? All we saw was the trial that happened in the Senate, as it was an actual TRIAL. The only thing that we the public saw prior to that was the vote to impeach and send articles over to the Senate to be tried.
 
News Flash!! Republicans DO participate in these hearings. This entire thread only goes to prove how clueless you are regarding these impeachment hearings.

Of course the magnanimous, fair, loving, considerate democrats transparent democrats only want the best for everyone, including republicans and the American people. They have clearly outlined the rights and privileges they extend to the republicans on these committee investigations:

Adam Schitt to republican members of the committee: 'You have the right to shut the hell up and remain silent or I will throw you the hell out of the room.'
 
It's not a democratic process, It's an investigation. Investigations are always done in secrecy. How else can you protect the people who are investigated and found guiltless? Do you think the news media should be in on all the steps in the investigation? The report says Republicans question witnesses but you don't see them making it public.
I don't see what you think should be done better.

Adam Schitff news conference: 'We are doing everything in our power to get to the bottom of these very serious allegations of blatant treason. Due to fears of leaking we are closing our doors to the public and have put the evil republicans on notice that they will not be allowed to attend some of the most sensitive hearings due to fears they will illegally leak parts of the witness testimony to the press. Thank all you good people for your patience and support in this sad, sad time of national mourning and disgrace over what our illegitimate president has done to our good country.'

Agreed.
Thanks for a fair & reasonable reply, Bullseye.

Got a link to that news conference, or are you just making **** up again?

Asking for a friend.
 
Why are they doing impeachment in the intelligence committee instead of the judiciary? Because their 'whistleblowers' are CIA plants and they don't want the truth to come out. Hence all the so called impeachment inquiry hearings have been behind closed doors.

Mum's the word lol!

Sheesh.
There's no impeachment going on.
 
With congressional leftist nutjobs keeping everything secret, makes one wonder what are they trying to hide?

Are you aware, republicans are in on the inquiry asking questions?
 
This thread is utter bs. All of the republicans on the committees doing hearings are fully informed.
