New York Times editorial board calls for Trump's impeachment

[CrusaderFrank]

Suck it up Trumpeters as the media lines up with editorials calling for Trump's impeachment.

Whatever the ghoul Mitch McConnell is saying, an acquittal is no certainty for Donald Trump in a senate trial because a lot of GOP lawmakers hate Trump while seeking to avoid Trump turning his howling mob on any GOP lawmaker he takes a dislike to.

Trump apparently wants a long impeachment trial, however he also faces risks as more dirt could emerge before the senate trial concludes.

The New York Times editorial board officially called for President Trump’s impeachment Saturday.
The fiery new editorial, simply titled “Impeach.,” calls the two articles of impeachment introduced against Trump this week – abuse of power and obstruction of Congress – “short, simple and damning.”
“President Donald Trump abused the power of his office by strong-arming Ukraine, a vulnerable ally, holding up hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid until it agreed to help him influence the 2020 election by digging up dirt on a political rival,” the editorial states.
“When caught in the act, he rejected the very idea that a president could be required by Congress to explain and justify his actions, showing 'unprecedented, categorical and indiscriminate defiance' in the face of multiple subpoenas. He made it impossible for Congress to carry out fully its constitutionally mandated oversight role, and, in doing so, he violated the separation of powers, a safeguard of the American republic,” it continues.
House Democrats have alleged that Trump held up hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine while pressuring the country to open investigations into the president’s political rivals. Lawmakers have also accused the Trump administration of blocking the testimonies of a dozen of its officials from testifying before lawmakers in the ongoing inquiry.”
The editorial called for lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to “consider the facts, the architecture and aspirations of the Constitution and the call of history. In that light, there can be only one responsible judgment: to cast a vote to impeach, to send a message not only to this president but to future ones.”
It also criticized the president for refusing “to release any administration documents or allow any administration officials to testify” and “asserting a form of monarchical immunity that Congress cannot let stand.”
The editorial said the House’s fast-moving investigation was “regrettable,” but added that “Democratic leaders have a point when they say they can’t afford to wait.” It cites the upcoming 2020 presidential election in addition to Trump calling for China and Ukraine to investigate Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden earlier this year in front of reporters on the White House lawn as a reason to get on with proceedings.
“[Founding Father James] Madison and his fellow framers understood that elections — which, under normal circumstances, are the essence of democratic self-government — could not serve their purpose if a president was determined to cheat to win,” the piece says.
The editorial accuses Republican lawmakers of “working overtime to abet the president’s wrongdoing. They have spread toxic misinformation and conspiracy theories to try to justify his actions and raged about the unfairness of the inquiry, complaining that Democrats have been trying to impeach Mr. Trump since he took office.” The publication's editorial board also added that some Democrats too were “too eager to resort to impeachment before it became unavoidable.”
It cites Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C), who has called the House hearings a “bunch of B.S.” and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who told Fox News host Sean Hannity that there was “no chance” the Senate would vote to convict the president, as culprits of this alleged wrong-doing.
“For now,” the editorial concludes, “that leaves the defense of the Constitution, and the Republic, to the House of Representatives.”

Wow we lost the NYTimes! What's next, the WaPost? CNN? At this rate, Trump might not have a path to the White House

Whatever the ghoul Mitch McConnell is saying, an acquittal is no certainty for Donald Trump in a senate trial because a lot of GOP lawmakers hate Trump while seeking to avoid Trump turning his howling mob on any GOP lawmaker he takes a dislike to.

The die is cast. Senate Repubs, as we always knew they would, will ignore the evidence, violate their oath to protect the Constitution, and vote to protect their own asses from the howling mob.

The only problem with your claim is that there is no evidence of any illegal action by Trump.

If that was so, Donald Trump would not be preventing examination of his financial records and would not be commanding public officials to not comply with subpoenas for their testimony.

Donald Trump is a crook and is expert at hiding evidence from a lifetime of cheating and lawbreaking.

You mean the same way DumBama withheld evidence in Fast and Furious?

Why would Trump give them anything to possibly help them? That would be stupid. All they'd do is the same thing they did with the phone call which is lie about the entire thing. Because they know how weak their case is, they are praying they find anything that's actually valid.

Given the fact it's the Democrats starting this impeachment war, how do you suppose the NYT will react when the Republicans impeach the next commie President? Because we all know that's what will happen.

Republicans don't have the intellectual capability. GOP lawmakers are a rabble.

Well we might not be able to see that in less than five years. But trust me, if the commies go all the way with this, gloves are off. They started an impeachment war.

State Senator John Yudichak of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania said that he will be switching his registration to become an Independent. He will caucus with the Republican majority.

Yudichak has criticized an increasingly liberal Democratic caucus that has led to this decision.

Due to issues that he finds important, Yudichak believes there is a better home in the Republican caucus.

Yudichak’s announcement comes less than 24 hours since we learned that New Jersey Democratic Congressman Jeff Van Drew has also made a decision that speaks volumes.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Whatever the ghoul Mitch McConnell is saying, an acquittal is no certainty for Donald Trump in a senate trial because a lot of GOP lawmakers hate Trump while seeking to avoid Trump turning his howling mob on any GOP lawmaker he takes a dislike to.

The die is cast. Senate Repubs, as we always knew they would, will ignore the evidence, violate their oath to protect the Constitution, and vote to protect their own asses from the howling mob.

The only problem with your claim is that there is no evidence of any illegal action by Trump.

If that was so, Donald Trump would not be preventing examination of his financial records and would not be commanding public officials to not comply with subpoenas for their testimony.

Donald Trump is a crook and is expert at hiding evidence from a lifetime of cheating and lawbreaking.

You mean the same way DumBama withheld evidence in Fast and Furious?

Why would Trump give them anything to possibly help them? That would be stupid. All they'd do is the same thing they did with the phone call which is lie about the entire thing. Because they know how weak their case is, they are praying they find anything that's actually valid.

Donald Trump is so dirty it difficult to see under the layers of dirt on Trump.

Either that or it's all made up.

Suck it up Trumpeters as the media lines up with editorials calling for Trump's impeachment.

Whatever the ghoul Mitch McConnell is saying, an acquittal is no certainty for Donald Trump in a senate trial because a lot of GOP lawmakers hate Trump while seeking to avoid Trump turning his howling mob on any GOP lawmaker he takes a dislike to.

Trump apparently wants a long impeachment trial, however he also faces risks as more dirt could emerge before the senate trial concludes.

New York Times editorial board calls for Trump's impeachment

New York Times editorial board calls for Trump's impeachment
BY MARINA PITOFSKY - 12/14/19 10:42 PM EST 3,842

The New York Times editorial board officially called for President Trump’s impeachment Saturday.
The fiery new editorial, simply titled “Impeach.,” calls the two articles of impeachment introduced against Trump this week – abuse of power and obstruction of Congress – “short, simple and damning.”
“President Donald Trump abused the power of his office by strong-arming Ukraine, a vulnerable ally, holding up hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid until it agreed to help him influence the 2020 election by digging up dirt on a political rival,” the editorial states.
“When caught in the act, he rejected the very idea that a president could be required by Congress to explain and justify his actions, showing 'unprecedented, categorical and indiscriminate defiance' in the face of multiple subpoenas. He made it impossible for Congress to carry out fully its constitutionally mandated oversight role, and, in doing so, he violated the separation of powers, a safeguard of the American republic,” it continues.
House Democrats have alleged that Trump held up hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine while pressuring the country to open investigations into the president’s political rivals. Lawmakers have also accused the Trump administration of blocking the testimonies of a dozen of its officials from testifying before lawmakers in the ongoing inquiry.”
The editorial called for lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to “consider the facts, the architecture and aspirations of the Constitution and the call of history. In that light, there can be only one responsible judgment: to cast a vote to impeach, to send a message not only to this president but to future ones.”
It also criticized the president for refusing “to release any administration documents or allow any administration officials to testify” and “asserting a form of monarchical immunity that Congress cannot let stand.”
The editorial said the House’s fast-moving investigation was “regrettable,” but added that “Democratic leaders have a point when they say they can’t afford to wait.” It cites the upcoming 2020 presidential election in addition to Trump calling for China and Ukraine to investigate Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden earlier this year in front of reporters on the White House lawn as a reason to get on with proceedings.
“[Founding Father James] Madison and his fellow framers understood that elections — which, under normal circumstances, are the essence of democratic self-government — could not serve their purpose if a president was determined to cheat to win,” the piece says.
The editorial accuses Republican lawmakers of “working overtime to abet the president’s wrongdoing. They have spread toxic misinformation and conspiracy theories to try to justify his actions and raged about the unfairness of the inquiry, complaining that Democrats have been trying to impeach Mr. Trump since he took office.” The publication's editorial board also added that some Democrats too were “too eager to resort to impeachment before it became unavoidable.”
It cites Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C), who has called the House hearings a “bunch of B.S.” and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who told Fox News host Sean Hannity that there was “no chance” the Senate would vote to convict the president, as culprits of this alleged wrong-doing.
“For now,” the editorial concludes, “that leaves the defense of the Constitution, and the Republic, to the House of Representatives.”

Any condemnation from the laughingstock New York Times, is a badge of honor.
