He will be under a constant impeachment inquiry as long as the dims hold the majority.Any better incentive to take back the House?
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/cortneyobrien/2019/12/10/doug-collins-suggests-that-dems-want-one-of-their-articles-to-fail-n2557745I have an alternative position. I haven’t heard anyone say this, so it’s just my opinion.
Two articles: abuse of power and obstruction of congress. No mention of treason, bribery, or anything else.Every president has fought against congressional subpoenas. Every single one.
Abuse of power isn't a crime.
Going to the courts to see if House demands are lawful isn't a crime.
They have nothing. The sheep are tired of the circus. House flips to Republican and Trump reelected in a landslide. Thanks Nancy!
For a true dedicated leftist, it takes a total sea change, a sudden epiphany like Paul on the road to Damascus, or like when a cult member is deprogrammed, or when any religious person has an experience causing him to question his core beliefs. I don’t think that happens very often.Shock therapy might work on the democrats, but I’m not sure there’s enough electricity on the grid to pull that off.
But what is happening I think is people who have been Democrat or liberal without thought, just because their family always was, or because they assumed it was the way they should be because of school and their community, if they aren’t rigid in their thinking and they are open to new information, they probably account for the change in polling. This would especially apply to rust belt states that were Democrat historically because of unions and support for the working man. You’d have to be blind and dead to not see that now, it’s Trump, not the Democrats, on their side. Same for blacks when they realize the Democrats put illegal aliens above them.
He withheld half a billion worth of badly needed defense spending, told the Ukrainian President that if he played ball all sort of money would be coming his way. Several witnesses said they were told by him or his people the money stall was so the Ukrainian President would announce an investigation into Hunter and Joe Biden. Trump did release the funds, just hours after the whistleblower story surfaced.Since lucifer asked most of my questions, my question for you is exactly why do you think the Executive Branch needs to bow to the demands of the legislative branch?
In short, he misused the powers of his office for personal political gain, imperiling National Security in the process. If you'll recall, Ukraine has an active war on its border that's killed over ten thousand souls.
And the only reason there isn't more evidence is he's obstructed the probe by shielding his people under the aegis of Executive privilege, which is a misuse of it if ever there was one. But you guys needn't worry. Your golden boy will be acquitted by his toadies in the Senate. You can look forward to him doing more of this kind of thing in the future.
He provided text from the fucking phone call, and there have been a parade of witnesses, several of whom listed to the damn thing.I read the text of the fucking phone call, and it says no such fucking thing that could possibly be interpreted as a high crime or misdemeanor. Similarly, the witnesses that were on the call admitted UNDER OATH that they had no direct evidence of a high crime or misdemeanor, but that it was their presumption or assumption or hearsay that caused them to leap to that conclusion.
Trump tries to coerce a foreign head of state to damage his political rival and you guys don't care. The most ironic thing is this is exactly what he was accused of doing with Russia, so instead of avoiding it he goes and does it again! Sadly, when the Senate gives him a pass you can expect to see more of this sort of thing.He did? Do you have a transcript of that call or some evidence that we can see?
And I remember when your daughter was considering vet school.Doesn’t it? She’s now 4 1/2 years into the profession. She’s a dairy veterinarian, but also does small animal surgery one day a week. Rugged life going on farm calls, especially in the dead of winter, but she loves it.
Time flies.
I have often wondered why many of us conservatives keep quiet about or political beliefs while amongst a bunch of liberal that have no such filter.I think the issue is a little bit of both (respect for others’ opinions as well as fear of backlash in business/personal matters.)
I have ususally thought that conservatives actually respect their fellow human beings and don't want to say things that they know will hurt them. I suspect even Number 7 doesn't tell liberals how he feels, face to face.
But there is another reason that I have always know applies to me, but it suddenly dawned on me that it may apply to a lot of other people too.
There are a lot of small and medium business owners. I owned a small business (around 20 employees) and we worked hard to find and keep loyal customers. I knew many of my customers were liberals, but that never effected my business relationship with them.
But in 2015, a woman business owner and friend of my in-laws attended a Trump Rally and managed to get her picture in the paper. My MIL was outraged and vowed never to do business with her again. In fact, she loudly told everyone she knew not to go to her store. My MIL is quite influential in this town.
Two years later, the woman was out of business. She said that after that rally, her business dropped off precipitously and she started getting hate mail and bad on-line reviews about her political affiliation.
I was recently at a Rotary meeting (mostly business owners, but now they let anybody in). When the topic turned to Trump, it was obvious that the business owners started getting nervous and looking to see who was listening. They changed the subject. Not because they were embarrassed but because they were intimidated.
I just finally wanted to get that off my chest.
I agree with your daughter to an extent. The regulations have become beyond ridiculous. I talked to a local creamery who sells homemade ice cream. It used to be a dairy farm and they still have cows for SHOW ONLY. They have to buy their cream from somewhere else indicating the regulations are so onerous that it wouldn't be profitable to use their own milk! I forget the details as it was some time ago that I talked to them, but I remember just shaking my head in disbelief.Trust me, my daughter is conservative and against stupid regulations. However, she is integrally involved in the food safety aspects of food production, and knows how outbreaks occur.
I did too. I met the local farmers literally in the back parking lot and paid cash like it was a drug deal. Part of the problem is regulation, raw milk being illegal for example. Demand would have to grow a lot more for it to gain the kind of organization and structure that would support it, and we aren’t there yet.Honestly, my daughter is a dairy veterinarian, and she sees milk production literally from the second it leaves the cow. She is very against raw milk, because of the very significant dangers of salmonella, E. coli, listeria, and even viruses.
What’s to say? Juvenile humor, and very inappropriate. But then, Trump said “pussy” so there’s that.I don’t know anything about the back story, but for a presidential candidate to think that this is a good thing on camera shows either their utter stupidity, or utter contempt for most normal voters.
