McConnell Says It's 'Laughable' To Think Trump Deserves To Be Impeached
newsweek.com ^ | 9/26/19

Posted on 09/26/2019 9:03:00 PM PDT by Helicondelta

For Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the very notion that President Donald Trump could be deserving of impeachment seemed "laughable"

After having read a summary of the July phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that sparked House Democrats' impeachment inquiry into the president, McConnell said on Wednesday that it was "laughable to think this is anywhere close to an impeachable offense."

"If this is the 'launching point' for House Democrats' impeachment process, they've already overplayed their hand," the Senate Majority Leader said.

Basically yes, think about it, they get 110% media attention anytime they say something bad about Trump, they can change the media focus on a dime without even trying hard.

That is what Trump wants. That is why I suspect that they are heels. They are agitators, they are to draw focus to themselves, not what ever issue the media is dwelling on at the moment. They get instant attention and they have been able to move focus or the change the news cycle as well.

If I was president Trump and wanted control opposition, wouldn’t these three stooges be the guys I would pick? Seriously think about it.

I doubt that the Democrats, once they realize what a Senate trial would expose, will really want a trial.

“but, but Jeff Flake says he’s talked to 35 GOP U.S. Senators that would vote to impeach Trump if they only could do it in secret ...”

I don’t think there are 35, but I’m not at all confident there aren’t twenty.

“Any republican who voted to remove would be done. So, what is the Dems actual game plan?”

F*** the Dems actual game plan.

You’d better be worried about what is Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, and Mitt Romney’s game plan.

I have a very bad feeling about this.

12 Democrats are holding out on supporting impeachment
"What would hurt them far, far more, is the handful of Blue Dogs and maybe 20 swing-state moderates either voting against impeachment or abstaining.

Anything less than a party-line vote would give Trump a chance of turning the House." - ME

Given the immediate blowback onto Robotox's hasty decision to cave in to a 29-year-old puta bartendress, that the opportunities that this farce of an impeachment presents us are countless:

Flake the lobbyist at best might be on good terms with one or two squishy GOP senators.......any guesses?

It’s already dead. The funeral has been delayed, that’s all.

Some have speculated their objective is to deny the impeached President the power to select a SC nominee to replace RBG, who may depart this world in the very near future.

When will Barr act? My guess is never.

It certainly looks that way to me, which raises the question: Why is it that diGenova and his wife frequently appear on Fox and repeatedly tell us that Barr is a straight shooter who we can all rely upon to bring the traitors to justice??

Is there anyone in their right mind who thinks a conversation with the foreign leader about corruption involving Hunter Biden is a high crime?
.................................................
Probably not, which is why the ‘rats will allege the conversation in question constituted an impeachable “misdemeanor”. Laughable!

Joe is a former high ranking Department of Injustice official. He still believes in the corrupt agency, even though it is infested with leftists (as is the State Department). It makes zero sense to cheer lead an organization whose employees gave 95% of their political donations to Hillary.

I’ve always read the adjective “high” as modifying both crimes and misdemeanors. After all, isn’t littering a misdemeanor?

“It’s already dead.”

if it’s dead, how did they manage to approve two new SCOTUS judges and 160 other Federal judges?

Trump used electricity to twitch the dead muscles.

There will not be a GOP after the massacre in 2020.

Hopefully there will be something better.
