Trump 2nd Impeachment- 2 opposing views

[Ronnie G]

These people are not going to know what to do when Trump is finally out of a news cycle. They've depended on him. They've fed the coals of their inexorable hate. He fed off of their hate and provoked and trolled.

But at some point, China's going to heist their leg on Taiwan. And Uncle Joe is not going to be able to claim some political inheritance when he has to "do something."

In fact, a whole BUNCH of comeuppances are on the way, and at some point it becomes Biden's mess.

Impeachment is simply a way to keep Trump in the news cycle, because losing Trump to report on Biden is the equivalent of going from the hot tub to the frozen pond. And the obvious genuflecting going forward will hurt the media reputations even more.

It's like this:

Advisor: "Mr. Biden, Chinese soldiers are bayonetting Hong Kong dissidents. What are you going to do?"

Biden: "Where's Trump?"

Advisor: "Trump isn't here, sir. The press is outside."

Biden: "Hey, Didn't Hunter have child-porn on that laptop?"

True.

Where’s Hunter?! Lol!

There you go again with your usual put down. Is this all you can post? It's becoming a bit boring reading the same line over and over again.

Also, you don’t know more than Michael Yon, so there is that.

Go ask Mo Brooks, David. You aren’t more knowledgeable than him.

I'm glad you pointed out your obsession with Cruz, though it's very well documented on AFF. This is precisely why I mentioned the filters and bias. You are so obsessed and enamored with Cruz that you are unable to see what others see.

Yes, words matter. My comment on filters and bias is not an accusation without cause, nor is it just because we disagree.

That was turned into a lie that he wanted to overturn the election.

What the Dems are saying about Cruz and Hawley is despicable. I'm glad Hawley is pushing back and has filed his own ethics complaint against the Dems who are accusing him. They did nothing more than what the Constitution allows and what Dems themselves have done in previous years.

Motion to dismiss impeachment trial fails. 55/45

Some Republicans apparently not understanding the black letter law of the Constitution. traitors.

The usual suspects: Murkowski, Collins, Toomey, Romney. I forget who the fifth was.

The republicans turn into ravenous pit-yorkies when they're in the minority. They had the chance to scale back things when the were granted the trifecta in 2016.

They didn't. They somehow let that appalling John McCain become the rudder of a disastrous mid-term ship.

How appalling is/was McCain? I think he got the nomination in 2008 to LOSE ON PURPOSE. And the cynical treatment of Sarah Palin proves it.

Another day. I could write an essay about that vacuous coward.

Agree again!

Glad to see that Jonathan Turley will join Senate Republicans today for their first in-person lunch since November. He testified at the last impeachment and is calling this trial “at odds with the Constitution” because Trump is no longer in office.
