The impeachment narrative pushed by House Democrats needs to be called exactly what it is, which is a political coup. Contrary to what Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Chairman Adam Schiff, and progressive left wingers would have you believe, the United States still does have an objective rule of law, and the Constitution is not merely a guideline subject to interpretation and application at the whim of a power grab.
Regardless of whether you are a Republican, a Democrat, an independent, or anything else, it should concern all of us that the rule of law is being tossed out in favor of an open coup designed to undermine a free and fair election in the United States. Sheer partisan hatred of an American president by the opposition party is not and has never been a sufficient legal or constitutional basis for impeachment. The Constitution lays out the scope of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
Political leverage or the inability to win elections are not listed. Over the past few weeks, some commentators have suggested that the phrasing "high crimes and misdemeanors" is an intentionally vague term that has no specific articulable definition. Not only is that false, but a lack of brightline jurisprudence does not render a term in the Constitution so malleable that the Democrats can fashion a political weapon of it.
Indeed, the phrase "or other high crimes and misdemeanors" has a legal definition instead of a common parlance meaning. It comes from English common law that refers to offenses against the crown, from which our founders borrowed much of our law, but they formed our government structure quite differently. The words "or other" are very important. The phrase "high crimes and misdemeanors" does not stand alone, but is rather within the same category as treason and

But this one has even LESS of a chance of success.
And doing it is KILLING THEM in the polls.
Now the whistle blower is a registered DEM from the CIA WHO worked on digging up DIRT on Trump in 2016?!!?!!
Oh yeah and schiff met with the guy breaking protocol.
Come on, please, NO ONE stand in their way.
It is a Coup D’etat.
Every enemy of the United States is demanding those they have corrupt dealings with dance and play their tune.
They all fear what happened to Harry Reid or even JFK.
How does Adam Shiff’s day actually go.
7:00am China, North Korea, Xi, Un, conference call (take beating)
8:00am Dem caucus debrief
9:00am Drink goats blood, sacrifice kitten
10:00am Meet with Obama, Hillary, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, et. al. (take beating) and Prepare lies for committee
11:00am - 6:00pm lie
6:00pm Iran, Russia, Rouhani, Putin, conference call (take beating)
7:00pm watch Will and Grace reruns
8:00pm watch self lying on television
9:00pm put on Spandeau Ballet album and drift off to sleep
Constitutional crisis.
Pelosi has driven the constitution off the rails, somebody else will have to fix the mess.
There is a shitstorm of declassified documents and indictments waiting for the coup plotters.
The behavior of the House (for that matter the entire congress for not reigning it in violates our fundamental human rights by imposing a system of intentionally making false accusations (which is lying and libelous slander) with the intent to destroy a political opponent (Trump), making vicious personal attacks,....All because he is a threat to their carnival of corruption
This sudden urgency to find something, anything to begin this coup d’etat is because they know Justice Ginsburg will probably not be serving Santa milk and cookies this year. One more conservative justice and the left will be compromised for another 30 years.
Pray for our president and his secret service agents to protect him, they will be earning their wages over the next 13 months.
What happened to Harry Ried? I always thought his injuries weren’t from a treadmill accident. Did he get beat up?

I don’t see how the whistle blower can be a whistle blower protected by the statutes when most, if not all, of what he says is not true. He is just a gossip. A whistle blower is someone who is truthfully reporting actual criminal or unethical actions, not someone who reports rumors and hearsay, or maybe even just made everything up. We need to stop calling this guy a whistle blower. He is a disinformation specialist, otherwise known as a liar. And he needs to be outed.
After watching the insanity of pelosi, Hillary, Talib, AOC, Ilhan, Maxine Waters, Christine Ford, Stormie Daniels, Liz warren, Kamila, and now “Greta”, and more.......... I don’t see why anyone would ever vote for a woman to be president!!! They are an insult to womanhood, and they’re ruining it for women who ARE sane!!
Prayer is constant for our President, his family, and those who guard him. Because I wouldn’t put ANYTHING past the demonized Dimocrats.
I've said repeatedly that her point of no control was back in January 2019 when President Trump canceled her European vacation after she canceled the SOTU address during the government shutdown.
After that, she lost the last sense of rational decision-making she might have had in what has become an all-consuming hatred for Trump.

Post of the day.
Agreed.
I won’t use the term anymore.
Thx. Got the exercise equipment wrong, but the question right. Do we know if he had been beat up, and by whom? And for what reason?
All of this makes them look stupid, but they can't help themselves. Like Hillary Clinton, the Democrats are in a mental feedback loop. Everything leads them to relive that night. The Democrats are suffering from PTSD and this impeachment effort is the latest symptom of it.
Hillary and Bill. Got the dems by the ‘nads. They were involved with near impeachment of Nixon...Bill’s own, and are doing only what they know anything about. Very little insight in the limits and brevity of whatever they try to do, those two.
“Pelosi has driven the constitution off the rails, somebody else will have to fix the mess.”
The Constitution was driven off the rails decades ago.
