Today’s Impeach-O-Meter at 85%: Trump Grows Obstructive as Mild-Mannered Senators Tighten Noose

[CrusaderFrank]

Everybody knew it would end like this

We are fucking begging you to impeach lol
DO IT . We dare you haha

We are.

So why won't Nancy take a vote?

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Donald Trump is becoming more frantic and irrational every day as the impeachment noose tightens.

Trump is falling out of favor with the whole public including diminishing support among Republicans and GOP lawmakers turning against him.

Mitt Romney has now been triggered into being an impeachment activist by Trump's insults.

The question is, will Donald Trump survive until November 2020, or will he bail out and demand a pardon from Pence, that is if Pence himself is not trapped in the swamp of dirt engorging Donald Trump.

Time is not on Donald Trump's side as more dirt will be exposed as the impeachment investigation proceeds. The big pile of dirt could be in the Special Counsel's Grand Jury materials currently being litigated in court. This could bring down not only Donald Trump, but Bill Barr as well who is trying to prevent Congress access to this material.

The Donald Trump dirtbag should no longer be swept under the carpet, it should be swept from office.

Today’s Impeach-O-Meter: Trump Grows Obstructive as Mild-Mannered Senators Tighten Noose

The original Impeach-O-Meter was a wildly subjective and speculative estimate of the likelihood that Donald Trump would be removed before his term ended. Republicans have since established that there’s nothing that Trump could do to lose their support, making a conviction in the GOP-held Senate inconceivable. But as evidence of the president’s criminal unfitness for office continues to accumulate, an increasing number of Democrats are willing to say that he should be held accountable, at the least, via impeachment proceedings in the House. So we’ve relaunched the Impeach-O-Meter as a (still wildly subjective and speculative) estimate of the likelihood that the House votes to impeach Trump before the end of his first term.

The big developments on impeachment:

• Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, who represents a state where Trump has relatively strong support but who is also the kind of avowed Reasonable Republican who is, privately, probably really tired of dealing with his antics, told the Columbus Dispatch that there was nothing wrong with what Joe Biden did in Ukraine and that it was “inappropriate” for Trump to ask the country to investigate a political rival. (Caveat: Portman also said Trump’s behavior did not rise to the level of being “impeachable.”)

• A “[Mitt] Romney advisor” told Vanity Fair that the Utah senator is excited about having “power” as “a senator who will decide Trump’s fate in an impeachment trial.” The magazine says Romney “has been reaching out privately to key players in the Republican resistance” in recent days.

• A Washington Post–Schar School poll found that Americans support the launch of an impeachment inquiry by a 58 percent to 38 percent margin and would support the House voting to recommend removal from office by a 49 percent to 38 percent margin. Notably, the poll found that 28 percent of Republicans supported the inquiry and 18 percent would support voting to recommend removal.

• Trump blocked Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, from making a scheduled deposition to the House Intelligence Committee. Previously released text messages show that Sondland was enthusiastic about pressuring Ukraine to investigate Biden (and to investigate Trump’s vague claims that Ukraine was involved in a conspiracy against him in 2016).

Let’s not overthink things here. The public supports Trump’s impeachment, and some Republicans are going out of their way to make clear that they won’t defend the conduct he might get impeached for. At the same time, he’s acting like he has something to hide. Meter up!

The title of this thread is one of the best ways I have seen to describe how lefties justify impeaching. Nothing even close to the spirit of the Constitution, but on par with the court of social media and the msm. I have been looking for the words to describe what lefties evaluate when deciding if impeachment is warranted, and this truth o meter rhetoric is spot on.

Democrats are scared shitless about being held accountable for voting to impeach Trump. They won't hold a vote unless some Republicans vote yes so they can claim the vote was bi-partisan. THATS the reason they are delaying in the House.

Time is not on Donald Trump's side as more dirt will be exposed as the impeachment investigation proceeds. The big pile of dirt could be in the Special Counsel's Grand Jury materials currently being litigated in court. This could bring down not only Donald Trump, but Bill Barr as well who is trying to prevent Congress access to this material.

The Donald Trump dirtbag should no longer be swept under the carpet, it should be swept from office.

Today’s Impeach-O-Meter: Trump Grows Obstructive as Mild-Mannered Senators Tighten Noose

Today’s Impeach-O-Meter: Trump Grows Obstructive as Mild-Mannered Senators Tighten Noose

The original Impeach-O-Meter was a wildly subjective and speculative estimate of the likelihood that Donald Trump would be removed before his term ended. Republicans have since established that there’s nothing that Trump could do to lose their support, making a conviction in the GOP-held Senate inconceivable. But as evidence of the president’s criminal unfitness for office continues to accumulate, an increasing number of Democrats are willing to say that he should be held accountable, at the least, via impeachment proceedings in the House. So we’ve relaunched the Impeach-O-Meter as a (still wildly subjective and speculative) estimate of the likelihood that the House votes to impeach Trump before the end of his first term.

The big developments on impeachment:

• Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, who represents a state where Trump has relatively strong support but who is also the kind of avowed Reasonable Republican who is, privately, probably really tired of dealing with his antics, told the Columbus Dispatch that there was nothing wrong with what Joe Biden did in Ukraine and that it was “inappropriate” for Trump to ask the country to investigate a political rival. (Caveat: Portman also said Trump’s behavior did not rise to the level of being “impeachable.”)

• A “[Mitt] Romney advisor” told Vanity Fair that the Utah senator is excited about having “power” as “a senator who will decide Trump’s fate in an impeachment trial.” The magazine says Romney “has been reaching out privately to key players in the Republican resistance” in recent days.

• A Washington Post–Schar School poll found that Americans support the launch of an impeachment inquiry by a 58 percent to 38 percent margin and would support the House voting to recommend removal from office by a 49 percent to 38 percent margin. Notably, the poll found that 28 percent of Republicans supported the inquiry and 18 percent would support voting to recommend removal.

• Trump blocked Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, from making a scheduled deposition to the House Intelligence Committee. Previously released text messages show that Sondland was enthusiastic about pressuring Ukraine to investigate Biden (and to investigate Trump’s vague claims that Ukraine was involved in a conspiracy against him in 2016).

Let’s not overthink things here. The public supports Trump’s impeachment, and some Republicans are going out of their way to make clear that they won’t defend the conduct he might get impeached for. At the same time, he’s acting like he has something to hide. Meter up!

The only irrational people I've seen are the lefty loons just like you.

You have been duped.

LMAO Kinda hard to be duped when there is a great economy, UE the lowest its been in 50 years and jobs all across the country.

I'd say you're the one who's been duped.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

So why won't Nancy take a vote?

Just to troll the GOP. Is that not good enough for you?

Donald Trump is becoming more frantic and irrational every day as the impeachment noose tightens.

Trump is falling out of favor with the whole public including diminishing support among Republicans and GOP lawmakers turning against him.

Mitt Romney has now been triggered into being an impeachment activist by Trump's insults.

The question is, will Donald Trump survive until November 2020, or will he bail out and demand a pardon from Pence, that is if Pence himself is not trapped in the swamp of dirt engorging Donald Trump.

The current situation is a fake bubble that is about to burst as Trump's trade war backfires on Americans.

When you subtract the budget deficit from the GDP, the economy is going backward toward another Trump bankruptcy. Budget deficit ~5% GDP, economic growth ~2.3% GDP.

Its not the greatest economy ever which was in the 1980s and 1990s.

"households’ finance remains extremely precarious; a shocking four in ten American adults would not be able to cover an unexpected $400 expense with cash or saving, according to research by the Federal Reserve. As troubling as these economic findings are, the fragility of the U.S. economy runs even deeper."

Please don't thank me.

Trump Says U.S. Economy Is 'Best It Has Ever Been,' But Facts Tell A Different Story

... To begin with, while the current expansion may be the longest on record, it is also the weakest. Since 2009, the economy has grown by only 25%, which compares poorly against the much shorter periods of expansion in the 1980s and the 1990s, which grew by 38% and 43% respectively. Even the record low unemployment rate is also not what it seems. One key reason for low unemployment is because people are dropping out of the labor force, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. This means that many American workers, chiefly the less educated and low skilled, have become so discouraged that they have simply given up looking for a job. The economy is not creating jobs that they can fill, while companies are complaining about shortages of skilled workers. As a result, households’ finance remains extremely precarious; a shocking four in ten American adults would not be able to cover an unexpected $400 expense with cash or saving, according to research by the Federal Reserve. As troubling as these economic findings are, the fragility of the U.S. economy runs even deeper.

High debt and low investment are an albatross around the U.S. economy’s neck. Corporate debt in the U.S. has reached $9.4 trillion—equivalent to 46% of GDP, according to the Federal Reserve, which matches the previous peak set in 2007 just before the global financial crisis erupted. Business investment, on the other hand, has remained flat despite the Trump tax cuts, which between 2016 and 2018 roughly halved the effective tax rate for companies on the S&P 500.

I hope the commie shitheads do try to impeach hm. Like everything else they've tried, it will fail as well.

The impeachment will not fail, but the trial in the Senate will.

The GOP will disgrace itself?

Can they more than they already have?

 

[easyt65]

The lies about the growing support to impeach Trump are beginning to grow faster than their lies about 'Collusion Delusion 2.0: Ukraine'!
