President Donald J. Trump WILL be impeached shortly….
He will be the fourth President to have the dubious honour….
He WAS elected to ‘do his own thing’ against the establishment…
And he has…
But unlike his Real Estate operation back in New York City?
He has a board to deal with in the name of the US Congress…
So?
His operating style of ‘me first’ the law and rules ‘I don’t give a shit about’ will get him indicted for crimes he has admitted he committed , but says he didn’t…
While the US Senate Republicans, and maybe a few Democrats of the jury have Indic ahed up front that he’s NOT gonna be convicted of anything?….The guy IS suffering and is pissed….
So?
For ALL his dancing with the truth , and laws and rules?
He’ll make the history books in a way he ain’t happy about…
He’s thrown down a six page letter to the Democratic Speaker of the House tNancy Pelosi is the writing of a man who has tried hard to control things, BUT?
Knows in the end?
He didn’t get his way with all of the board….
President Trump on Tuesday angrily denounced the looming House votes to impeach him as a “Star Chamber of partisan persecution” by Democrats, describing the effort to remove him from office as an “attempted coup” that would come back to haunt them at the ballot box next year.
On the eve of the historic votes, Democrats reached a critical threshold, gathering majority support to impeach Mr. Trump, as the president raged against the proceedings. In an irate and rambling six-page letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Mr. Trump portrayed himself as the victim of enemies determined to destroy his presidency with false accusations.
“This is nothing more than an illegal, partisan attempted coup that will, based on recent sentiment, badly fail at the voting booth,” Mr. Trump declared, describing a process enshrined in the Constitution as an attempted government overthrow.
“History will judge you harshly as you proceed with this impeachment charade,” he wrote.
In a missive full of unproven charges, hyperbole and long-simmering grievances against his own government — at one point, he referred to leaders of the F.B.I. as “totally incompetent and corrupt” — Mr. Trump angrily disputed both of the impeachment charges: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
Some yahoo Republican Congressman from Georgia just said Jeaus got better treatment than Trump did.
Will the Religious Right be offended, concerned, bothered?
Nah. The Cult speaks!
Wouldn’t surprise me if one of these kooks declares that Trump is the second coming!
And Rep. Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania compared impeaching Trump to tge attack on Pearl Harbor.
Nutty meet Nuttier!
Imagine if some Democrat in the 1990s said the same thing, but substituted Clinton for Trump.
The GOP is totally out of control and I don’t see what could stop this nonsense, other than a truly landslide defeat in 2020. Even though this nonsense started before Trump, it has reached unimaginable levels – and it continues to get worse.
Why do people think that if Trump is defeated, the Republicans will allow a Democrat to take the office?
The United States House or Representatives has begun the vote to indict/impeach President Donald J. Trump on two charges …
The charges vote ha been made by a majority of House members…The final numbers to come in a while…
Donald J. Trump is now bound to the history books as the 3rd American President to be impeached ….
The first vote has been for abuse of power…
The second will be for obstruction of justice…
How the roll call broke down (from NY Times Impeachment e-mail Impeachment Briefing and U.S. Congress)
On the first article, for the charge of abuse of power, the vote was split almost entirely along party lines, 230 to 197. Two Democrats sided with Republicans: Collin Peterson and Jeff Van Drew, who has indicated that he plans to switch parties and join the Republicans. Justin Amash, who recently left the Republican Party to become independent, voted for the article, and Tulsi Gabbard, who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination, voted “present.” José Serrano (D-NY), Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) and John Shimkus (R-Ill.) did not vote.
On the second article, concerning obstruction of Congress, the vote was 229 to 198. Members voted the same way as in the first vote, except Jared Golden, Democrat of Maine, who voted “no.”
