New York Times editorial board calls for Trump's impeachment

[j-mac]

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

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.”

Say what? The NYTimes? Say it ain't so! Shocking....*rolling my eyes*

Rolling your eyes on the ground? Are they made of plastic?

That doesn't even make sense...

Trumpers say that after a Trump rally.

What nonsense are you writing now?

Wow, really?

The Antisemites at the America hating NY Times? Shocked, shocked I tells ya. Next you'll tell me the Klan supports lynching black people...

Standard Disclaimer: Not saying the the Klan are a shitty as the New York Times, but they ARE utterly reprehensible piles of shit with no redeeming qualities who have no place in a decent society - still not as bad as the times though....

To satisfy your arousal, the Klan are now buying orange bedsheets.

The only thing they like about Trump is his border stance, which any real American should agree with.

The Ku Klux Klan like everything about Donald Trump. Fornication, vagina assault, cheating, lying, treasonous collaboration with enemies.

All these Trump attributes and behaviors look better with a bedsheet over your head.

No, not at all. They like the idea that his border stance helps stop minorities from getting into the country. The southern border is a huge problem because that's how various Hispanics get in. Most of the others use Visa's and just never leave when they're supposed to.

What do you mean by that?

And not Ike's history apparently.
You do know immigrants contribute to your benefits?
First bunch German, Italian, Irish, Asian, Latin, so so, everybody after that contributes more than native rubes.
It's well known the most aggressive fraction immigrates.

One of the greatest presidential acts ever was Operation Wetback in 1954. To be repeated in 2021, with Operation Wetback 2.

Boy, talk about indoctrination
These wetbacks are funding your Medicare benefits darlin.
I presume you are not working, just spewing?
Believe Ben who wanted to ban German immigrants?

The wetbacks are REDUCING tax base, not increasing it.

Wetbacks?
Boy, we ARE living in the 50s!!??
Still sucking off your commie SS Medicare VA?

Comrade, how is something you paid into all your life "sucking" off of anything?

 

[protectionist]

Know the def of projection?
Accusing someone of what you are doing?
To believe the con is the essence of brainwashing
I guess you don't believe Ike left his mistress pennyless either
Or dragged his wife by the hair before raping her after she laughed at his latest weave?

I don't read the tabloids. More concerned with immigration and the economy.

How do you respond to a guy who has his pic of a guy who left his mistress alone and penniless.?
And doesn't believe divorce papers of a con who dragged his wife by the hair before raping her?

By responding on topic.

Just laughing at your ignorant pic.
John Wayne, another draft dodger next??

Totally/deliberately off topic

 

[protectionist]

Wetbacks?
Boy, we ARE living in the 50s!!??
Still sucking off your commie SS Medicare VA?

Wetbacks in the 50s. Wetbacks today.

Proudly receiving my SS and VA pension, Mr Jealous.
