So Now What On Impeachment?

I don't like Trumps personality, I don't like his behavior, I don't like his tweets, I thought his tweet in the Yovanovitch hearing was a good example of a man who has no filter and doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut for his own good.


What I do like is my 401k, literally every economic indicator through the roof, I like most if not all of his foreign policy decisions. I like his trade war with China and if we could stop all trade with China, I would be for that too. I like his stance on immigration and if all the predictions by climate fanatics come true, that wall will come in handy when 10's of millions of people decide to head north. I like Conservatives on the SC who understand that their job is to read the Constitution and apply what it says not what they "feel". You don't let "what will happen if I vote this way or that way" in your decision making. You vote what the law says and leave it to the Legislature to make laws. If the American people don't like a SC ruling, the Constitution provides a way to amend it like has been done now what 26 times?


As one astute poster wrote "if Hillary had been elected, impeachment in the Republican House would have stared on day one because she broke all the laws Trump is being impeached for". I detest hypocrites in both parties but Democrats happen to be ruling in that regard today. Before the election, the number one answer to name one word to describe Hillary turned out to be "liar". So my choice in 2016 was one liar or the other. Yes Trumps lies. He lied about the crowd at his inaugural. He is a narcissistic, boastful, arrogant, belligerent man that I would gladly replace tomorrow for someone who agreed with every policy initiative he has put forth but that person does not exist. That person didn't exist in the 16 people he went up against. I literally had no other choice unless I wanted someone who would not do what I wanted them to do.



I didn't vote for Trump because I like him, I voted for him because what he has proposed, I agree with. Simple as that.



I will not be voting for anybody that supports judges offering their feelings and not the literal reading of the Constitution and it's amendments. I will not vote for anybody that thinks there are 37 genders to choose from. I will not vote for anybody that thinks a man who thinks he is a female can compete against real women in athletics and will not agree that anatomical males who are "confused" can't share a bathroom with female children. I will not vote for anybody that believes in open borders, free anything for illegals other than deportation though I am sympathetic to the so called dreamers. I will not vote for anybody who thinks they can take away choice in health care options like the crazy Progressives who have the Democratic party so worried, people are coming out of the wood work to oppose Bernie and Warren and their ilk.

Thank you for demonstrating that no matter what evidence is presented, you DimWittedLoons have decided that they will put party before country.

however, Congress (House) can refuse to seat her, and seat the vice president instead.


admittedly, not sure how this would play out as this would be between the old congress and the new congress.

Stone's convictions are jokes. He turned over all his phone records, emails and computers to the FBI and Mueller began running perjury traps against the memory of a 68 yo blowhard.

Bannon should be ashamed of himself.

I've yet to see any email or phone record where Stone was in contact with known Wikileaks personnel or the contents. And this in and of itself doesn't constitute any actionable conspiracy of a crime.

HF - Thank you
I am in complete agreement.

and your position is anathema to the DPST's interested in total control of the country.

And you are very correct in stating that Edwards is not a far left Democrat. Many of his positions are very Conservative.

But for whatever reasons, Trump wanted Rispone as governor and not Edwards. Trump campaigned hard for Rispone

"Trump spent a large amount of political capital on the race in an attempt to unseat the only Democratic governor in the Deep South. The president held a rally alongside Rispone on Nov. 9 in Monroe, Louisiana, and another event in Bossier City on Thursday. In between those trips, Trump traveled to Alabama to attend the University of Alabama and Louisiana State University football game. Vice President Mike Pence also campaigned.

In Bossier City, Trump urged the audience to vote for Rispone to send a message to Democrats in Washington. He lobbed familiar attacks on the media and political opponents, including Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, and railed against the impeachment inquiry.

"You can send a tremendous message back to Washington because Eddie’s running against the failed far-left,” referring to Edwards, 53, who he said would join the impeachment push from Louisiana if he was re-elected.""

This was definitely not a victory for Trump no matter from what angle you look at it. On the other hand, not a major loss either.
