Trumps Slither to Authoritariansim


Huh. Literally everything you just asserted is either a lie or a purposeful misrepresentation of what actually happened.

Not really surprised that you'd be compelled to pretend that the Dems were hypocritical when you have zero case.
 

It's CNN, which means that ignoring it is reasonable and wise.
 
And you had this idea of this being some kind of fair process? I have never in my life seen a more hypocritical process than I have with Democrats.

How about that?

 

This is what Romney said ... something you didn't quote. It's the line where he admitted there was no crime i.e. no law broken, you claimed he was one of 3 Republican Senators who said there was. There weren't.

The historic meaning of the words “high crimes and misdemeanors,” the writings of the founders and my own reasoned judgment convince me that a president can indeed commit acts against the public trust that are so egregious that while they’re not statutory crimes, they would demand removal from office. "

As you said "You were simply wrong and the words of Romney prove it."
Say, why didn't you quote that line, anyway?

That makes strike 3 for you ... yer out.
You should know by now that I never insist on something unless I'm sure.
It's a good practice. You should learn to follow it.
 
So, no viable response? Got it.

What to explain that load of blather.

Its a known fact that Comey exceeded his authority with regard to the Hilary mess he caused with his idiot announcements. He has a God Complex. He is the FBI version of Trump's "only I can fix it"

Its also easy to see what kind of loyalty Trump expects and its easy to see how Trump would calculate that he would NEVER get that from a guy with a God Complex.

This stuff is not rocket science but then again even simply math appears to be rocket science for Trumpettes.
 
If people keep avoiding THE ROOT of causes that led to the mess we have today, and the vile we have in the Executive Administration.... then they are missing the points of real discovery and getting caught up in the puzzle pieces, unaware of what the picture is, in which the puzzle piece fits within.
 

That is ridiculous as Republicans could introduce witnesses, could cross examine any witness, and could introduce any evidence they wanted to introduce during their time. And the final results were voted on by the entire House.

... perhaps for lovers of Trump with cognitive dissonance it was wise to ignore it to protect the fragile reality that they have adopted. Reality and the acceptance of would probably shatter the world of far too many Trumpkins.
 
This is what Romney said ... something you didn't quote.

I quoted directly from his Senate speech where he explained his vote. He clearly said Trump was guilty of high crimes proving your statement WRONG.

You should have paid more attention. Republicans were refused all witnesses they requested and refused their minority day. How can you even consider they could introduce witnesses after what the entire country saw and heard in the hearings and Senate.

What was Trump's statutory crime anyway?
Can you cite the law that was broken?
No matter, neither Romney nor anyone else ever have.
So you could stop making that claim.

Schiff overruled the GOP on anybody they wanted to call. If he hadn't, we would have heard from the weaselblower.
 

Republicans had their day in the House and their witnesses were called.
 

Romney said Trump was guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. He further stated he was guilty of abusing his power and the public trust.


Again, this proves you were WRONG in you statement that no Republican Senator said he committed any crime.

No one who respect the principle of what is a whistle-blower has any interest in exposing the person to the vile attacks from the Right Winger and Trump....

Those of us who paid attention, head the testimony that was conclusive of establishing the guilt of Trump, the malice and vile of Giuliani, and the abuse of process to have involved Giuliani in matters that should only be handled by the State Dept.

What we saw is a "wanna be crack pot dictator" trying to circumvent the government processes while being treasonous against and upon the election process, which is a vile act upon The Constitution and the people of America. We know it is a repeat of what he did with Russia...

The dignified, educated and informed people of America who respect the integrity of our institution of government, will stand up... only those who worship a man, as they disrespect the nation will cling to the Trump obsessions.


America won't go into the Confederacy Take Over that so many Right Winger, who call themselves Conservative Republican continue to pursue. That segment is basically older white people, many with a 9th and 10th grade comprehension when it comes to the world as it is today, because the type and level of education they received 40-60 yrs ago, does not inform them of the changed world we currently live within. They become a mass who are behind the times of civic society, they have less understanding of the political system that will not repeat the bias corruption of the segregationist politicians who want to try to capture and recreate the madness of their youth as children of segregationist.... many of such, who still have not figured out that America is a Liberal Nation and its March to Social, Civic and Civil Equality will continue marching forward.

The messages in the Nation among the educated, the aware and those who respect America Democracy... is to change the trajectory away from the Plutocratic aspirations of promoting authoritarian madness.
The message is to create an America where Equality reigns and opportunity has no reservation for white priviledge, and money does not over-ride the opportunities for all people.

Too bad ... Republicans can't respect that... they will only result to cry again, "we've been left behind", because they are obsessed with chasing the past.

The GOP asked for their witnesses and some of them were called.
 

Exactly. And the actions of Trump over the last few days in vicious retribution against both Vindman and Sondland prove that protecting the identity of the whistle blower was the right thing to do.
 
the impeachment all seems so trivial now.

Ultimately ,never withheld aid . And Biden was never a serious candidate so any announcement of any an investigation of him wasn't going to help Trump .

"while they’re not statutory crimes"
So what law was broken, as you claimed.
Might as well say there was no law broken (otherwise that means you'll have to cite the law) because I'm not going to let go of this until you admit it.
 
Republicans had their day in the House and their witnesses were called.

Really, What day was that and what witnesses did they call. I watched every single House Committee hearing day and I never saw it. In fact, almost every day their were objections being called out to Schiff for not allowing Republican witnesses and not allowing their minority day.

So please provide (out of the 17 that were called) the Republican witnesses called by Republicans.

It's only trivial to those who disrespected the process and denied the truths that were put forth.... we understand!!! as a designated label of conservative, you were obsessed before, during and now after the process with a man... while having little regard for the nation, its Constitution, its Co-Equal Branches of Government and the vile acts of Trump repeating his 2016 Russian program, by trying to strong arm Ukraine to take blame for something Russia did, and then trying to repeat a Republican Benghazi Smear games, by trying the same tactic to smear Biden.

Supporting Evil... is the acts of many in the Republican Arena, as evil only moves by the supporters of evil...

The Good Democracy Respecting People of America... must stand up for the respect of America and American Democracy....... and stomp down the evil that has infected many people in the lands of this nation.
