    This impeachment is not political

    How about Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, as witness's in a process not controled by the Democrats.. Uh Oh!!

    Haha.. I would never speak for him, as you know his thoughts and hopes far better than I, however I am sure the Chairman will not be smiling down a Senate Trial! He does not like to be outed in public.
    First, credit where credit is due. you are a riot. I litterally LOL’d.

    Second. I absolutely welcome Joe and Hunter Biden stepping into the light. If they did anything wrong they should be held to account. That would be a good thing. Democrats are not mindlessly devoted to their potential leader. Can republicans say the same?

    Here is what you republicans don’t seem to understand. People genuinely believe that Trump is unfit for office, not because of his policies, but because he abuses his power, because he has a dirty past and a dirty present, and therefore likely a dirty future. If this call to impeach was simply political opposition, people would have applied this much pressure to previous republican presidents. They didn’t. This is different.

    If we ignore Trumps misdeeds, such behaviour will become available to democratic presidents in the future. I get that you don’t care. You want your judges, you want your cuts. But as we shed more and more inconvenient checks on the power of the president you may find that the next democrat president will become a true maoist nightmare for you.

    Impeachment is by its very nature a political act.

    You should know that.

    You are right. And I do.
    I regret the title of this thread. It was just a silly mistake.
    I meant to say that dems are not acting out of pure politics.

    I agree. I would call it an equal measure of politics and blind, foaming at the mouth hate.

    Maybe they need all that foam for their equally goofy plan to shave off the beards of Ted Cruz and the Trump sons.

    No. the D’s are acting out of pure politics. Even Nancy has tacitly said so when she said that the D’s cannot trust the Election. It’s ok. The people know. Not the ones in the toney coffee shops in Chicago, NY or LA but the ones in the rest of the country.

    Of course they are, don't be ridiculous. Suddenly, the president acting within his Constitutional authority is, "abuse of power". Again, don't be ridiculous.

    No president can just do whatever they want.
    Every single action the president takes is subject to the scrutiny of congressional oversight. If they judge that there is corrupt intent, they can decide whether to take action. Lucky for all of us, the president is not a king.

    Again, the President acted within his Constitutional authority. The coup attempts amount to harrassment, at the very least. But by all means, keep it up. Have you seen the polls of independents lately?
