I often wonder, do any of you on the Left consider what happens in your best case scenario after? OK. Let’s pretend for a moment that you impeach Trump. So we’ve talked about this before, and all you want is Trump out. But then what?
You win the election in 2020 in this scenario, and Democrats are back in charge. But what happens when the Republicans win the Congress again? And they will. Can they then just Impeach the Democratic President because they don’t like him? Apparently so. That has been the argument for two years now, that the Congress doesn’t need proof of any crime to impeach anyone.
You lower the bar to get the guy you hate, and you’re stuck with that lowered bar for the future. You don’t get to raise it again. Has this thought ever occurred to you?
Morons like you, "forget" that we are NOT talking about impeaching Trump "because we don't like him".........we are talking about impeaching and indicting a ******* criminal.
Do you like criminals????.....LOL
We’ve been hearing that for two years too. Actually longer if you count the election.
But we’ve seen no crimes attached to him. For two years we’ve been hearing how it’s coming, soon. So soon. Any day now.
On Policy, I disagree with Trump on several issues. On his comportment as President, I agree he leaves a lot to be desired. For those same two years, I’ve said many many times, give us a real choice to vote for in the election, don’t just run up another historic candidate who is at least equally flawed, we’re tired of another round of the lesser of two evils.
Crimes. Pfui. There are millions of laws on the books, and everyone runs afoul of them nearly every single day, from minor traffic infractions in which they are not caught, failing to come to a complete stop before turning right on a red light, to more serious crimes.
One of the terrible crimes we’ve heard about, was either Cohan, or Manafort. Anyway, he failed to fill out a form that he was working for a foreign corporation. Jesus Christ. We have literally thousands of foreign corporations in this nation today. If I build Toyota’s in Texas, am I an enemy of the people? If I build Volkswagens in Tennessee am I a vile criminal who deserves nothing but prison? If I work for one of the movie studios who is owned by a foreign corporation, am I spreading foreign propaganda?
Every single movie star has worked with, or for, one of the companies which are owned by foreigners. You can’t have it both ways man. You can’t demand a more open, and inclusive world where we respect and emulate foreign nations, while screaming that anyone who works for them is an enemy.
This is the reason the Scooter Libby scandal didn’t play out. It came down to he said, she said, about identifying a CIA agent, who was already blown. Right here everyone outside the beltway who doesn’t follow Politics as a passion lost interest. Seriously.
If the foreign Governments knew that she was a CIA agent, then outing her to the press was bullshit. Wanna talk about a real scandal? Why has the convicted CIA agents not been sent to Italy to serve their sentences?
It’s always so much bullshit, and everyone knows it. Hillary’s server in the bathroom. Stupid, sure. Illegal? Probably. But that wasn’t why I didn’t vote for her. I voted against her because of her actions in Libya, violating international sanctions to send weapons to Libya. I voted against her for her part in sending weapons to Syria to gin up a Civil War. I voted against her because I honestly suspect that she had something to do with the RW crap in Ukraine. But even if she didn’t, there was more than enough crap to vote against her for. Things we KNOW, not suspect, nor believe, happened. KNOW. Has been proven. Has been admitted. Is factually established.
I voted against Hillary because her record, which is always one pattern after another. First, screw up trying to be clever. Second, deny the screw up. Third claim ignorance about the denial of the screw up, and the screw up. Then claim it is old news and doesn’t matter.
Do you want Trump out in 2020? Fine. Give us a candidate worth voting for. Give us a Candidate who doesn’t just check the blocks of LW nonsense. Because the Left Wing are just as stupid and crazy as the Right Wing. Yes, I mean that exactly. Because the he’s a criminal crap has been going on so long that even if you find a technical violation of some law or another, it won’t matter. You’ve shot your wad about this two years ago. Because nobody cares anymore. They know it’s not some big deal, because a big deal would have been exposed long ago. So it’s some minor bullshit violation of one of the millions of pages of laws that nobody in the real world understands. Trump is right, the people will revolt. Enough to cause serious problems for this nation.
Chill out, and figure out how to win the White House in 2020. You can do it. The first step, figure out what the people care about. Don’t just shout at them that they are racist, sexist, homophobic, or whatever. Stop shouting that they are stupid. Eisenhower in the middle of World War II told his officers that he wanted a two page summary of the war to date. They said it couldn’t be done. It could, but they didn’t think so.
I’ve said all of this before too. I’m starting to sound like Eminem. Every rap song is about the same damned thing, and as he said in Guts over Fear. I feel like I’ve said this a kabilion and eighty times.
Want to in in 2020. Stop shouting that the other side is evil, criminal, racist, etc. Start telling the people why they should vote for you. What you offer instead of what they offer. Compare and contrast.
