Trump Impeachment: What crimes to include

[Stacyhs]

In the same way that making a sequel instead of coming up with something original seems like an obvious choice to Hollywood.

Sequels are often more successful than the original. Let's hope history repeats itself.

Trump just said that this impeachment nonsense is just going to boost his election for another term.

Really? How does he figure?

Hopefully Trump will add Giuliani to his crack legal defense team.

"Crack" being the accurate term

More of a "these", then, but whatever.

Which "this" have I posted about three times in this thread?

I have. I don't see what you're talking about. That's why I asked.

Which part are you not seeing? That you had posted three times? Or that you repeatedly expressed boredom and lack of interest?

Why, oh why, is that man still in the picture? He hardly has any foot left to put in his mouth. Giuliani reminds me of a toxic Dumbo.

Well, its been mentioned elsewhere that attempts at removing Clinton from office failed, and afterwards his popularity increased, so the suggestion is not totally without precedent. (And its unlikely that republicans in the Senate will remove him without something major happening.)

I doubt that the impeachment will bring Trump any new supporters, but I can see the possibility that it make take some of his less... enthusiastic supporters (the ones who voted for him in 2016 but might have sat out 2020) and getting them to go to the polls. Or if Trump is left in office, for Democrats to become despondent and think "Why vote at all?". Both would improve Trump's chances at reelection.

Not that I am saying that will happen, but it is a risk.

But imagine how awesome it will be to see Trump giving testimony with Giuliani sitting next to him whispering advice to him. It would be glorious!

Ya, I figured out a while ago you go right past his "contributions" to these discussions.

The forum software can be your friend.

Also, I agree that a narrow focus is best. I don’t know whether Ukraine is the best approach or merely the latest approach.

I do know it has to have Republican backing or it will go nowhere. Mitch has shown he’s more than willing to sell his country out to further his agenda or, more accurately, his wallet.

 

[Donal]

but will he sell out other Republicans to save his own seat?

Depends on who, I suppose.

I am however extremely disappointed in America in that we haven't yet bestowed a code name based upon a porn movie title to the whistleblower.

May I suggest Dank Oats? Although it doesn't sound like a great porn movie.

This impeachment might be the one thing in his life that Trump can actually honestly say he's worked for.

Repeatedly expressed boredom. I think you completely misunderstood Belz...'s exchange with me.

I posted about something on this topic that interested me. Belz... offered something else that he thought was interesting, but I disagreed. A grand total of two posts, only one of which was about something I found uninteresting, and even that was in response to a point that Belz... raised with me in the first place.

So I'm definitely not seeing the part where I repeatedly expressed lack of interest. Let alone three times. Are you sure that actually happened? Because all I see is two posts, one where I say 'this is interesting', and one where I say, '... but that isn't.'

 

[a_unique_person]

There is already an impeachment thread.

 

[Venom]

Right. And that seems very clear and obvious: This Ukraine thing and maybe the Mueller probe obstruction charges. Anything beyond that is less significant so I don't see much to speculate about.

Impeachment isn't about punishment. Impeachment is about cleansing the office of the president.

No, I think I understand very well.

Well, you made a sarcastic remark that feigned interest for the purpose of disparaging Trump’s critics, but sure. You “expressed interest”.

Belz... offered something else that he thought was interesting, but I disagreed. A grand total of two posts, only one of which was about something I found uninteresting, and even that was in response to a point that Belz... raised with me in the first place.

If you say so.

That's not interesting at all.

That is pretty boring, politics as usual type stuff.

Ranting about how the Republicans are unwilling to impeach might have been interesting a couple years ago, when it had some chance of being a novel insight.

Banalities that are not actually in dispute.

Not interesting.

Time is running out for Flynn if he thinks he'll get that Pardon.
Maybe he should tell his stories to the Impeachment Inquiry instead...

 

[Delvo]

All this time and all the laws he's broken, while she kept protecting him from himself... and now she finally quits putting herself in the way when he happens to hit one that's practically identical to something Hillary did. Is she trying to make this impeachment as unimpeachy as possible on him by handing him his dream PR setup? Oh... wait, I just remembered who she is, so... yes. Of course she is.
