    Michigan GOP congressman say's Trump's conduct is impeachable

    In a break from the republican party, Rep. Jusin Amash has become the first Republican lawmaker to maintain that President Trump has committed impeachable offenses and his Attorney General William Barr misrepresented the Mueller report.

    "Michigan Rep. Justin Amash became the first Republican lawmaker to declare that President Donald Trump committed impeachable offenses and that Attorney General William Barr “deliberately misrepresented” special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.Amash, whose libertarian views often put him at odds with Trump and his fellow Republicans, posted a series of tweets Saturday afternoon outlining positions that even some Democrats have been unwilling to embrace — an extraordinary development that comes as Democratic leaders face increasing pressure from progressives to launch impeachment proceedings."

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    Amash appears to be a kook.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    Comment isn't required when eye-rolls will do the job.

    Sounds like the GOP has to find someone to smash Amash in the primary.

    Hulk smash!

    We the People DID NOT vote in a majority Rodent Congress, they stole it via election fraud.

    45, I watched this show on Showtime today..3 or 4 episodes of it. I guess the show was from back in the spring/summer of 2018. It's called the The Fourth Estate. I've never watched it before until today.

    What is fascinating, knowing that this show was produced for TV at the height of certainty of Trump's collusion with Russians, is that it was all a media farce. Watching these 'so called' reporters at the New York Times just sitting and salivating for the next anti-Trump suggestion to come across the wire is so revealing. I find it curious Showtime is airing this series today, why? What I saw in this series was a paper predisposed to bias and innuendo, and frankly an appetite to portray gossip or heresay as fact.

    He's probably getting ready to run against Trump in the 2020 primary.

    I've said this before and I'll say it again; almost all media in the United States are commercial ventures and their primary goal is to make money for their shareholders, all else is secondary. As part of achieving that goal, they all have their target audiences and as such tailor their editorial policies in line with that goal. Objective reporting went out the window over 4 decades ago and the news industry has morphed into what it is today.

    So what all this means is that you will have media organizations whose editorial policies are slanted towards the democrats, some will be slanted towards republicans and some towards other varied interests. It's like saying there is something for everyone--also known as--user friendly media.

    As far as the showtime network airing this series on trump, again its all about money; Americans love hearing dirt on people, especially well known people. dirt sells in this country, that's why you have media publications like the Globe and National Enquirer & other media outlets that seem to do so well. The NYT is no different then Breitbart, they both are in business to make money, just their target audience and editorial policies are different. They might portray heresay as fact if it sells and/or generates ratings.

    That's our news media today like it or not.

    Let's see. Between you and Rep. Amash, one of you has advocated for the legal exclusion of all liberals from public office, and for - at various times - the rounding up, imprisonment or execution of politicians whose views differ from your own (or from DJT's) and of judges who make decisions you don't agree with.

    I agree that one of you certainly sounds like a kook.

    45, so you are saying that the NY Times is just another greedy rag in a sea of greedy rags like all the rest. That they've forfeited the mantle of being the gold standard objective journalism. And for that fact, the Washington Post has done the same. And Morning Joke is simply that, a joke. That CNN, ABC, and NBC are the same. The gals on the morning shows...all of them. It's all just a big lie, just a show.
