Yeah, I have no doubt a trap or traps are planned:

Dem Sen. Blumenthal: Up to Ten Republicans Might Vote to Convict Trump, Don’t Rule Out ‘Unpredicted Evidence’

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Hardball,” Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) stated that he thinks up to ten Senate Republicans will vote to convict President Trump, but that there could be “unpredicted evidence” and the number of GOP defections could increase.

Blumenthal said, “I would give the high end probably five to ten. I think that’s a realistic number. But, and I want to emphasize the but, we need to keep in mind what’s unpredictable here. Remember the Watergate case, where the Nixon tapes emerged, seemingly by chance…and that was the end of his presidency. So, never underestimate the possibility of unpredicted evidence. And so, I think that one to ten number may increase as we see more of the evidence. It is a very, very fluid situation.”

The key is the polls. If they think they will have lynch mob out for their heads.. they would not dare backstab Trump.. so if they do do a trial and Trump brings up Witness after witness revealing the deep state ticking the public off more and more...the wouldn’t dare

What a load of crap. They have no trap. The proof is in e conviction. They had to deny him council and republican witnesses and then had to lie about the evidence to get a charge of impeachment. The Republicans are very scared of the negative media, but they live in terror of us. If they thought they were harassed in restaurants by left wing nut bags, play against the voters who sent Trump there and these cowards as well. Romney and his family would disappear in 24 hours. Wood chipper rentals would go up 150%. If they don’t do a trial and exonerate him completely, this crap will never end. Go for the trial and start convicting the left by exposing them.

When we take back the house, they can investigate the corrupt practices of Adam Schiff head in the next Congress.


If the Clinton and 0Bummer administration scandal, that continues to plague this country in the form of an impeachment of a duly elected President of the United States, has yet to face the blind lady of justice, then Schiff and his ilk will not face any punishment in the House. The Repubes will claim they just want to move on as they have always done. The IG report and the next one to come, slated for a Summer debut, have come too late into Trump’s presidency. I admire people who say Trump will win the next election, we need to go through the Senate trial first and if he survives that, an election. Nothing is guaranteed and the “deep state” is made up of both repubes and demonrats. Maybe just enough to remove Trump and prevent him from taking office in the future. While the probability is high he will survive the trial, there is still a probability he won’t. Nothing is 100% certain until the gavel drops in the Senate and the ballots have been cast and counted. For now, take the victories where and when they come. GEt through the Senate trial unscathed then we can take on the Presidential election. However, we can still target local election for House members once they have voted.

Blumenthal is such a coward and a creep. He's too gutless to do the dirty work, but he'll urge others on to do it.

He is filth.

Budweiser? Moth eaten chair? What kind of clown response is that? LOL....I’ve a bit more to me than you imply. I am betting that just in my 30 years of military service I’ve a bit more understanding of such things than those in their ivory towers who throw stones.

My post is directed at those who talk “Civil War” as if it’s some 9-5 job and they can go home after their shift and sit back in their temperature controlled homes until the next day.

Too many folks here toss that phrase around and don’t really think through what that really means.

And those same folks are overweight, out-of-shape, and miserable at just about everything else.
You being in the military would know exactly what I mean with your time in country.

I just grow tired of the keyboard warriors. No offense to you Bro.

Apparently, many have already invested in lead. Black Friday was the second biggest gun sale in history. That is telling.

My sincere apologies for the jump to conclusions as you are very much spot on this with that understanding. People have no clue the cost of such a thing but also, foolishly in my opinion, think it can’t happen here. Every such war in history had its trigger or spark and the people of the nation are largely sick of the lies fed to them daily by a complicit press as told to them by criminal establishment politicians whose acting skills to fool them have long since worn off.

It’s all good Bro.
I re-read what I posted to you and I could easily see how you’d take it personally, that was clearly not my intention.

Like you, I’m tired of the lies, theft, and genocide that this gov’t (deep state) & politicians are using against us.
I have serious doubts that anything other than The Lord’s intervention will put an end to it at this point, considering how dumbed-down the population is.

People post that sh!t about Justice Roberts’ adopted kids without even thinking about what they’re posting.

Best post of the thread. People either spout nonsense about his kids or throw up the picture of CJ Roberts with two males, suggesting some sort of homosexual angle.

They have him by his adopted-from-Ireland children.

EVIDENCE

Provide EVIDENCE of this. Or you're just pushing Fake News.

"See the article about what Trey Gowdy recommended."

Is that in the text of the article?
