GOP: House Democrats Had to Be Told Not to Cheer Impeachment Vote
Breitbart ^ | 10/31/2019 | Joel B Pollak

Posted on 11/01/2019 8:23:56 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Republicans claimed Thursday evening that House Democrats had to be instructed not to cheer the vote to authorize an impeachment inquiry as they waited for the final tally earlier that morning.

Democrats have insisted, at least publicly, that launching an impeachment process is a somber occasion and a grave responsibility. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) even claimed that none of her members came to office to impeach President Donald Trump — a remark that was swiftly mocked:

we’re witnessing the suicide of the D party

which is a very good thing, since its taken over by seditionists, traitors, communists, nazis, and islamonazis

the good honest D politicians will survive and a new more honest political party will take its place, imho, thus cleaning up this dangerous cancer out from USA!

Who are the “good, honest D politicians”? I don’t think there are any in the House.

There are no good honest D politicians. If you have a “D” after your name you are the enemy.

“Who are the “good, honest D politicians”?”

Zell Miller was probably the last of them.

"the good honest D politicians will survive and a new more honest political party will take its place, imho, thus cleaning up this dangerous cancer out from USA!"

Another way to look at it is this. The states need to amend the Constitution to expressly prohibit political party support for federal elected officials, and to limit citizens to vote only for House representatives as the Founding States had enumerated in the Constitution.

After all, given that one of the very few express constitutional powers that the feds actually have to dictate domestic policy is to run the US Mail Service (1.8.7), most federal domestic policy and related spending based on stolen state powers and revenues, the key question is this. How many political parties does it take to run the mail service?

I say none, no political parties required.

Also, note that constitutionally undefined political parties have trampled 12th Amendment enumerated procedures for counting electoral votes, state winner-take-all laws for electoral votes blatant violations of that amendment imo.

Excerpted from the 12th Amendment: "The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice- President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate [emphasis added]; […]"

So much for Democratic “all votes count” mantra.

Each state will remain free to shoot both feet off by supporting anti-constitutional republic political parties. States that implode under political parties will be punished by becoming US Territory under sole control of worthless Congress. (Hey, welfare for everybody in failed state.) /semi-sarc

Remember in November 2020!

MAGA! Now KAG! (Keep America Great!)

thanks, that’s very interesting indeed

certainly we should get RID of the federal income tax, it is NOT being levied as PROMISED when the “progressives” campaigned to initiate it

they said that ‘no working man will ever have to pay a single dime in the federal income tax!’
it was sold on the basis that only the “rich pigs” or “top one percent,” to use today’s communist lingo, would ever have to pay it

New York State Senate Cheers After it Passes Up-to-Birth Abortion Law

"certainly we should get RID of the federal income tax, it is NOT being levied as PROMISED when the “progressives” campaigned to initiate it"

Institutionally indoctrinated, constitutionally low-information state lawmakers evidently don’t understand that nearly all of the federal funding they beg for is arguably stolen state revenues. The feds steal state revenues by means of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.

Here’s Supreme Court clarification of Congress’s limited power to appropriate taxes if you missed it in previous post.

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"they said that ‘no working man will ever have to pay a single dime in the federal income tax!’ it was sold on the basis that only the “rich pigs” or “top one percent,” to use today’s communist lingo, would ever have to pay it"

I commend the many wealthy delegates to the Constitutional Convention. Not only did they establish the federal government, but Thomas Jefferson had noted that many delegates and their wealthy friends paid all taxes for the feds to operate.

The rich alone use imported articles, and on these alone the whole taxes of the General Government are levied [emphasis added]. … Our revenues liberated by the discharge of the public debt, and its surplus applied to canals, roads, schools, etc., the farmer will see his government supported, his children educated, and the face of his country made a paradise by the contributions of the rich alone, without his being called on to spend a cent from his earnings.” —Thomas Jefferson to Thaddeus Kosciusko, 1811.

If patriots support PDJT in working with the states to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes, then wealthy people and corporations can pay all federal taxes again, roughly no more than $1 trillion annually and probably significantly less than that.

Wealthy people and corporations, protective of their wealth, would be ideal to police federal budget to make sure that it reasonably complies with Congress's Section 8-limited powers.

I’m not looking at a particular order at this time. So if you want 16th Amendment to go first, that’s fine by me.

Did they give them instructions to not get goose bumps? (as in Chris Wallace)
