The Fox channel talking head joins Republican Party US Senator’s Romney and Sasse in knocking their party leader for holding foreign aid from the Ukraine until that country would go after Joe B Biden’s son , for something that has been found to NOT be an issue….
Instead?
Carlson says Democrats are going too far in looking to impeach Donald Trump…
The call from the conservative channel guy is for Trump to NOT do this kind of thing again and that Democrats should give up trying to fire Trump…Impeachment , a political process involving just the 538 members of Congress , should be put aside in favour of next years general election…
Carlson backs Trump’s story that the FBI and Intelligence community are ‘out to get him’….
And?
Of course, has the Attorney General’s back on his efforts to shield Trump from ANYTHING….
Impeaching a president is the most extreme and anti-democratic remedy we have in our system of government. A fundamental cornerstone of our entire system is to respect the will of the voters. The American people elected Trump president of the United States, though a huge part of our political class has never been able to stomach it. They think Trump is unfit to be our president. They definitely don’t want to address seriously the issues that drove voters to the radical step of voting in Trump as our president — issues such as income inequality, economic stagnation and our broken immigration system. It’s easier to pretend that this was all the result of a few Russian Facebook ads or because the same American people who had just elected Barack Obama somehow transformed overnight into a bunch of racists.
So, now, as we are on the eve of another election season, our political class wants to take the most recent election away from the voters. Millions of Americans voted for Trump to try to shock our political system into finally listening to their concerns. How do you suppose they’ll feel about a system that instead removes Trump from our democracy? You don’t have to be an especially deep thinker to realize this is a recipe for social upheaval.
Nancy Pelosi has been right all these months when she’s repeatedly said that to be legitimate, impeachment must be bipartisan. Anything less would tear apart our country, she said. In this area, Pelosi is echoing the sentiment a senator expressed during the Clinton impeachment process:
“While the founders included impeachment powers in the Constitution, they were concerned by the potential partisan abuse. We should be no less aware of the dangers of partisanship. As we have seen, the process functions best when there is a broad bipartisan consensus behind moving ahead. The country is not well served when either policy disagreements or personal animosities drive the process.”….
