Poll of the Day > I find it ironic that Democrats started all that impeachment process...

(+) Yeah! (+)

...because they claim Trump used the power of the office to help him re-elected in 2020, while the process itself is nothing more than an attempt to paint Trump as a crook and reduce his chances of being re-elected.

I mean everyone knows there is almost zero chance of Trump actually getting impeached.

US political system sure is weird.

Just wait until Democrats claim the impeachment was a plot to get Trump re-elected.

Honesty, the country is fucked if we want congress to consist of people who never tell lies, never cheat, never steal, never commit crimes, etc. It'll never happen and were fools for believing otherwise. Washington DC was built on a swamp and itll forever stay that way.

bill clinton got in trouble for obstruction, but it was really none of their business

i don't care if trump used his power to spy on bidens son,we really shouldn't be giving away money to other countries
saying laissez faire when talking about our system is such nonsense

Abuse of power and obstruction of congress

At least time congress wastes trying to say Trump should be impeached despite knowing they can't is time they can't spend otherwise abusing their position for personal gain.

do you have any idea how many laws this congress has passed that Mitch McConnell is refusing to allow the senate to even vote on?

nobody needs to 'attempt' to paint Trump as a crook. it's obvious to anyone with a quarter of a brain.

They should impeach him based on his Saudi weapons deals. You know, those weapons you gave to enable a genocide after an obvious launder through his hotels? What about all those times he sent the military to stop at his overseas resorts? How about the fact that he isn't allowed to own a hotel? Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm. Hell, continuing the "Iraq" war is his biggest crime. (Except they did it too)

Instead they run on shit that no one cares about, because they themselves are almost as incompetent as Republicans. Some made up red scare bullshit that's too confusing to summarize. Then CNN applies 0 skepticism to the entire thing, pretending every other sentence is the breaking news that will get Trump impeached.

Psst

The election is coming up... maybe focus on winning it? That would imply you would have to act like a Democrat, and not a moneyed interests Reaganomics Centrist that has no strong stances whatsoever... except against Democrats further left than they are, they pull no punches against them.

So much time and money wasted on nothing. This ought to reflect quite poorly on the haters and if they're so unwilling to do real work then they deserve to lose another election.

So we should just ignore corruption and blatant criminal acts by those in power?

It's probably going to get past the house and it's definitely going to die in the senate. They need 20 Republican votes.

No. You're talking about removal. Impeachment is decided by the house.

Given that the DNC couldn't find a real celebrity to run against Trump, can you blame them for attempting to abuse the system to either steal the presidency or damage his chances? Their only hope was Oprah but she wasn't willing to give up much of her power, influence, and money just to be president.

At least maybe I wouldnt have to hear from the unhinged anti trumpers if trump gets removed. Then they can relax and shut up while the same shit keeps happening just without the media covering it

Yoshi, a Gamer/Dragon type, is one of the most powerful new pokemon. They can only be ascertained in the post-game (after you defete the Pokemon champion), on Gamer Island. Yoshi's signature move, "Gamer Word", is a sound-based Gamer-type move with 120 Base Power, but high recoil.

Why should the DNC run a celebrity? Look how horrible it's going with the wannabe one we have now.

even for you, this is crazy talk, ok?

It's a little more complicated than that. There are some other factors to look at.

1. There is a legitimate argument to be made that Congress is obligated to go through the process given the allegations. You don't have to like it to acknowledge that, but it's basically the only half-decent justification to be found.
2. For those who support Trump, this is actually a good thing because it's made him more money for his re-election and it is obvious that the impeachment proceedings will fail.
3. As far as the Democrats go, this is a good thing for only one person: Joe Biden, the incompetent establishment darling. His two main competitors, Sanders and Warren, will have to waste time on this stupid impeachment process instead of staying on the campaign trail during a key cycle in the primary.

With that third point in mind, it becomes obvious why it is Nancy Pelosi twiddled her thumbs for so long on the matter of impeachment only to abruptly change her mind. This can only benefit center-right corporatists like Pelosi and Biden, who are far more comfortable with Biden or Trump than they are with Warren or Sanders.

The impeachment proceedings also allowed Congress to sneak the re-authorization of the Patriot Act through, as well as the further shredding of internet rights. I expect there will be more unpopular policies pushed through during the impeachment proceedings, particularly the horrific S.2765 - Bipartisan Congressional Budget Reform Act, which has (as the name indicates) bipartisan support from Republicans and corporate Democrats and functions as a way of forcing extreme austerity practices on the general public (presumably how they will pay for any future tax cuts for themselves).

It was more than just a blowjob. But it was still a weak reason to impeach. And so they (the republicans at the time) got thumped at the polls because of it.

Also, they never tried to impeach that one guy who weaponized the IRS to go after his political enemies. Or that one guy who had his AG give a bunch of guns to criminal gangs in a plot to strengthen the calls to outlaw firearms. Hmmm.

What was the name of that US President that gave bunch of weapons to Middle East rebels and they turned into some terrorist organisation or something?

Because of precedents, the U.S. has just lost another pillar that was supporting political stability. It doesn't even matter what happens to Trump at this point.

Mr Hangman posted...

There is a legitimate purpose to the process, even if you discount any chance of him being removed, other than its potential to influence voters: The impeachment process, even without conviction, is at least some kind of reprimand for unacceptable behavior and maybe can put the brakes on things getting worse or set a useful precedent.
