Lead Impeachment Manager Raskin: This Was the 'Most Serious Presidential Crime' In American History
townhall.com ^ | 1/17/2021 | Beth Baumann

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-NY), the House's lead impeachment manager, on Sunday said it was important to pursue impeaching President Donald Trump, even if the trial takes place after he leaves office, because the president was responsible for "the most serious presidential crime in the history of the United States of America." He was referring to the riots that took place at the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, where Congress gathered to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Let's be honest: Rep Raskin (not Thomas, my bad) is a lifetime Dem, whose parents were progressives and involved in the Kennedy Admin. It's in his upbringing.

I know it's fashionable to declare liberalism a mental disorder, but I don't think liberalism is ipso facto a DSM-V matter. That is too generous - it means they can't help themselves, and that's fundamentally not true. Liberalism is a choice. Saying liberalism is all mental is letting them off the hook for their bad choices.

That said, there is liberal, there is rabid liberal, and then there is "a little therapy may be helpful" liberal (like the ones screeching at the sky after Hillary lost).

Rep Raskin is beyond the "little therapy" benchmark, if you ask me. I'm no expert, but I don't care if he is liberal or conservative. NOBODY who loses a child to suicide, no matter for how long the child was suffering, can bounce back in a week and conduct himself at work objectively.

Pelosi (she's another one who is cognitively wanting) should remove the job from Raskin, tell him to be with his family for a month, and give it someone who isn't emotionally compromised. Indeed, if Raskin IS NOT compromised given his son just killed himself, then there is truly some BIGGER problem with this guy.

We are in the fight for America’s very existence. I keep hoping PDJT has a MOAB up his sleeve, but now the media has gone full 1984/Brave New World. On every radio channel, even the ‘Conservative’ ones they are reading from the same script. Today the script is full tilt, Trump supporters are white supremacists. The extreme right wing terrorists need to all be silenced and/or tossed in prison....And my fav Trump and his supporters started THE BIG LIE about the election. I’ve heard the term THE BIG LIE about 50 times all over the media today, starting at 4:00 am on NPR. Big trouble ahead...the media has been totally co-opted.

Next stop rehab for this slimeball. He has serious personal issues, starting with his son killing himself. There is a lot more to this story.

Raskin certainly has a lot to answer for.

They did all that in the cities, though. They aren’t used to walking on ground that isn’t level, or stepping in cow poo, or encountering a swarm of cicadas. US Marines can do that, but soy boys, no.

The most serious political crime in history happened on Jan. 6 when Congress voted to install a known Chinese agent as POTUS IN AN ELECTION THEY WERE REPEATEDLY TOLD WAS interfered in by China and Iran, amongst others. Not being satisfied with that heinous treason, we are going to watch you one up yourselves on Jan. 20 as arcj traitor CJ Roberts attrmpts to swear in his comradr after refusing to hear any evidence. Have fun with that :) We call it, “drain8ng the swamp”. #promiseskept

I’d like to see these thugs struck down by lightning. I’m not wishing the lightning strike to kill them, but to be a sign from God. It could leave strike burns and make them numb all the time though.

That explains why on the day they began the counting of electoral votes someone offered him sympathy but I didn’t know any details of WHY...

Boy - he sure had his priorities in order, didn’t he? Loses his son to suicide and is back at work 6 days later????? Making a point to counteract any objections from Republicans to the count, he put aside all thought of family. What a guy. Always did come off as a - well, a democrat - in any hearing.

“”the most serious presidential crime in the history of the United States of America.””

The most that any of them can do is speak in riddles. What WAS the MOST SERIOUS CRIME anyway? No one wants to give it a name, do they? Because they can’t.

With the worldview he crammed into his son’s head, I’d opine the eventual suicide was predictable by any normally-adjusted person watching the trend line.

A healthy dose of, “Other perfectly normal people legitimately think differently basis how their priorities and values suffer from yours,” coming from Pop would have been remedial. Sadly, he’s not got that wisdom in him in the first place, so couldn’t pass it along to save his son’s life.

Kid x-ed hiself out under a pall of parentally-originated doom.

WRONG! Pelosi worked this sham out in advance with the militant ANTIFA wing of the Democrat party.

Yeah. Thanks.

I think you’re right on-target with that take on the matter.
