Reading how Schiff plans to run the democrats inquiry, reminds me of how the Nazis ran their courts against Jewish people in the 1940s. Totally a crooked kangaroo court. Nothing fair about it at all. Totally anti-American.

Guffaw......Best I got for such an absurd take.
 
One of these days I hope you people can decide if the impeachment inquiry reminds you more of the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany.

I guess one thread about a kAnGaRoO CoUrT wasn't enough.

Please elaborate on this. I have only heard from talking heads speak about the way it will be run, it seems very similar to Clinton's form what I've gathered.

I take it you don't understand that the House is not a court, nor is an impeachment inquiry a trial. :doh

Decent normal Americans would agree. I also understand this is not a criminal proceeding and therefore "due process" would not apply. However, Americans like fairness and believe everyone ought to have the opportunity to defend themselves. Americans already oppose impeachment but leftists are headed in that direction. This will more than likely backfire on the left.

They have no one to blame but their own stupidity.

Lack of basic understanding, feigned or otherwise, seems to be kind of a prerequisite for most of the right nowadays.

Democrat seem to want NOTHING to do with truth and fairness. They want is just their way.

You support a man who has made an average of 13.5 false or misleading statements each day for his entire presidency. You have no idea what truth or fairness even look like.

Wrong decade. Once the Nazis passed legislation stripping Jews of citizenship, they didn't need courts @ all to do anything to the Jews.

"In 1935 and 1936, the pace of persecution of the Jews increased. In May 1935, Jews were forbidden to join the Wehrmacht (Armed Forces), and that year, anti-Jewish propaganda appeared in Nazi German shops and restaurants. The Nuremberg Racial Purity Laws were passed around the time of the Nazi rallies at Nuremberg; on September 15, 1935, the Law for the Protection of German Blood and Honor was passed, preventing sexual relations and marriages between Aryans and Jews. At the same time the Reich Citizenship Law was passed and was reinforced in November by a decree, stating that all Jews, even quarter- and half-Jews, were no longer citizens (Reichsb�rger) of their own country. Their official status became Reichsangeh�riger, "subject of the state". This meant that they had no basic civil rights, such as that to vote, but at this time the right to vote for the non-Jewish Germans only meant the obligation to vote for the Nazi party. This removal of basic citizens' rights preceded harsher laws to be passed in the future against Jews. The drafting of the Nuremberg Laws is often attributed to Hans Globke."

Hey, It's your fault this is happening. You elected that spoiled-brat buffoon and brought all this on America.

That has to be the dumbest thing I'll read all day. Seriously, excellent job getting that bar cleared before noon, and I haven't even checked in on Twitter yet. It's going to be all uphill from here! Thanks!!

Well, the House resolution yesterday explicitly allows for the President and his counsel to participate in the impeachment hearings, and that will also be the case, should the House impeach, for the trial in the Senate, where that trial will be run by the President's presumed allies in the GOP. And in that case, at least 19 Republicans will have to vote for removal.

So the President will have multiple ways to defend himself. He's preventing his supposed allies in the WH, and Rudy, from testifying on his behalf. He could release them and we can hear from them under oath. I'm also positive the House and Senate would happily put Trump under oath so he can testify on his own behalf, on TV, before the American public. He can also effectively command the networks to cover any statement he wants to make not under oath, orally or written, and broadcast that to the world. So how do you get the idiotic idea Trump is prevented from defending himself in these proceedings?

Wrong. It's actually the way it is because of leftists. It would have been far more easier for the left to simply accept the election, and then bide your time until the left could present an viable candidate to unseat DJT. But no, the left has to go and show their ass, and now you want to blame others.

Leftists created their own misery. They are the only ones experiencing it. Everyone else is happily moving on and enjoying this wonderful economy. ;)

I think you are putting the cart ahead of the horse. Just because they are in charge does not mean they are goig to obstruct the defense. We have to wait and see before making that kind of determination

Where is the proof of what you stated?

There were no Jewish courts in 1940s Nazi Germany. Jews were rounded up and taken to the camps without any judicial action beforehand.

Actually more Americans agree with impeachment than do not. And so far the rules used have been those set by the President's party, so you are saying that the investigation into Clinton was also unfair? Also the rules pretty much follow those used in the Clinton impeachment. And it may backfire on the Dems, but in reality, they are going against political wisdom to do what they and as I said more Americans than not think should be done. You may not like it, but it does show some moral backbone, something none of the GOPers in Congress have shown.

In the 1940's the Nazis had only labor and death camps for Jews.

Good grief! I've read some idiotic attempts at equivalence, but this is beyond stupid. Well done, you've excelled yourself.
