So, what does that mean? The House still voted for impeachment. Stupids...
It’s too late after the secret kangaroo court is over with selective leaks for the last month.
“
After all, this was a vote that Republicans and the White House had been demanding for weeks—an official resolution that took the ambiguity and the secrecy out of the closed-door process Democrats had been conducting, a means of forcing every lawmaker to go on record in support of or in opposition to the impeachment inquiry. Pelosi, who had resisted holding such a vote for more than a month, had given in.”
What a crock. The whole article is a crock.
So, is this a formal floor vote to start an impeachment or, is this some flim flam brought by left wing feather merchants to try and make legitimate the existing kangaroo fraud?
Those walls. They are closing in.
The entire Democrat farce would be laughable if it didnt portend so ill for the future of Constituional governance.
If 1 R had voted for it, the media would be filled with stories!
2Dems voted against it, and no one says a word (except parenthetically).
I see them leaking key “favorable” info as they see fit, then NOT voting for impeachment (which would jeopardize too many house seats in Rep. districts). Then they will present their biased “findings” to the public and leave it up to the next election. Thus, they never provide the president with a hearing to call whiteness or counter their charges.
What a mess they are making of this!!
The dem Rep in our district voted for impeachment today. He’s gone by 50 points next November.
If he wanted to, could McConnell hold his own version of “hearings”, (not call them Impeachment Hearings, of course), introduce evidence, and hold an “informal” vote concurrent to the House Dem Coup activities. Refuting evidence could be entered into the official Senate record, and show the Traitors up for what they are. Just wondering...
Come November of 2020 there will no be very many Democrat office holders in the Heartland or in the Southeast with the exception of the larger cities. In fact in rural districts all over this country there won’t be many Democrats left.
New Species discovered ! The “California Kangaroo”, one female ( Nancy) and one male?(Adam).
A total joke.
Democrats won a Pyrrhic victory this morning. Democrats representing Trump districts will pay the price for this sham resolution.
I am trying to understand this political theater. They(The usual suspects) know they cant get the real vote to impeach so is this all grand standing to keep it all in the media lens and to keep the battle of perception going? I can see the merit of the tactic but it ultimately will fail. The Dems will lose ground everywhere except their strongholds and strategically its a terrible move. I would use the term Mob Rule here but I don’t think that is what this entire exercise is. At what point is this unconstitutional and can be fought on those grounds legally? As far as I can tell the rule of law has been set aside and congress or the ones that have the power to stop this are doing nothing.
Am I the only one seeing this mess in this light? I am curious to what everyone is thinking on this. Its historic alright but in the meaning of the absolute corruption of process and the law.
Many here are missing it big time.
They’re not trying to get him removed via Senate conviction.
They’re trying to get a House “impeachment”.
They want him marked as unelectable damaged goods.
They know it’s a dead letter in the Senate.
They need about 3% of otherwise Trump voters to withhold their votes.
Getting Trump labeled “impeached” is enough to achieve that.
No GOP defections is highly significant IMHO.
They successfully defined this as a partisan political fight, which all impeachment is by definition.
Now, when the bias of all the witnesses is exposed it will play to the same meme.
Exposure of Ciaramella was equally significant. His entire, enabled scheme will be exposed as partisan conspiracy.
And Schitt will expose himself as the biased, partisan hack presiding over an unfair process on national, even worldwide TV.
I still don’t think they’ll have 218 votes at the end.
Never forget that the Clinton’s were involved in all three.
Hillary was kicked off the Nixon investigation for corruption.
There was bi-partisan opposition to this resolution and only one party support.
