House is having another 6 hour debate before the  vote on the two articles of impeachment tomorrow 12/18/2019. They plan to allow each side to have the same amount of time at the mike. Should be boring. How many times does the House plan rehash this before actually voting. Will Trump pull another dumb stunt, like the letter he sent to Pelosi today? Maybe that's what she's counting on.

There were nationwide demonstrations today demanding Trump be impeached. As best as I can tell, there were no counter demonstrations. 

There are no counter demonstrations, because those are the normal people who go about their day.

It's the vocal left who do this shit, who create human chains to prevent students from seeing conservatives speak, and block traffic about climate change.

Normal, rational people, like the ones who see this for what it is, do not.

And they have jobs, and their own home/apartment too.  So no time for that shiitte.

From CNN* -- LOL:

[A] new Gallup poll released Wednesday morning**…shows two things happening since House Democrats, led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California, opened up a formal impeachment inquiry in October regarding Trump's conduct with Zelensky:

1) Trump's job approval rating has gone from 39% to 45%
2) Support for Trump's impeachment and removal has dipped from 52% to 46%.

If impeachment happens, its just another step in the wrong direction.
He's trying to hold off the inevitable (looney left allowing killers, muzzies, rapists, trannies, mentally impaired kids, etc) to run free and reign.
(DUH, LETS ALL DO WHAT THIS ASPEGER KIDS TELL US TO, DUHHHHH).

Talking to a few old-timers recently (in their 90's, so they are out of here) said they are glad to be moving on from this ever changing (for the worse) shit-show.

People no longer have a mind, they do what a device tells them to.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said this last year: “Impeachment is to me divisive,” she said. “If the facts are there, the facts are there; then this would have to be bipartisan to go forward. But if it is viewed as partisan, it will divide the country. And I just don’t think that is what we should do.”

And House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler said this in 1998: "There must never be a narrowly voted impeachment or an impeachment substantially supported by one of our major political parties and largely opposed by the other,” he said then. “Such an impeachment would lack legitimacy, would produce divisiveness and bitterness in our politics for years to come and will call into question the very legitimacy of our political institutions," he added.

The House has just voted to impeach President Trump along a party line vote. The first time in American history that impeachment was passed without the allegation of an actual crime. All “yay” votes were Democrats, including Pelosi and Nadler. Zero Republican “yay” votes. The first partisan impeachment in American history. Do you see why I call politicians liars?

This sad episode in our history will thankfully die a quick death in the Senate. But to those partisans who voted for this absurdity, all I have to say is this: That’s it! Dishonor! Dishonor on your whole family! Make a note of this: dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow . . . .

CNN shedding tears over this.

CNN shedding tears over this.

This is why they’re rushing this thing through. They just wanna get this over with as they realize people are tired of hearing about it.

[JustPlaneJane]

It’s a sad day for democracy in America.

It was an embarrassing day for the Constitution of the country.

It’s time to wage open war on liberalism.

Boogaloo!!

All the Democrats really accomplished was to make impeachment meaningless. It’s essentially the losing team saying that the winner should be disqualified and then the referee, the Senate, saying fuck off.

Pollak: Senate Can Acquit Even If House Withholds Articles of Impeachment
JOEL B. POLLAK  18 Dec 2019

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) appears to be considering an idea Democrats have floated for several days of holding back the articles of impeachment to exercise leverage over the Senate and the president.

She declined formally to transmit the articles to the Senate on Wednesday evening after the House voted to impeach President Donald Trump.

Unfortunately for them, the Senate can act, regardless — and would vote to acquit.

That’s because the Constitution is absolutely clear about the Senate’s authority. Article I, Section 3 says: “The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.”

That is all.

The Chief Justice presides over a trial involving the president, but the Senate makes the rules. And the Senate is controlled by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who regards what the House has done with contempt.

You’re in Cocaine Mitch’s court, now.

Politico outlined Democrats’ new idea, citing constitutional lawyer Laurence Tribe (but, interestingly, not the Constitution itself). Pelosi hopes to pressure McConnell into holding a “fair trial” — this, after she and her party broke every relevant House rule and precedent, and several Amendments in the Bill of Rights, all in the name of their “sole Power of Impeachment.”

They forget that a “fair trial” applies to the accused, not the accuser, and has since 1215.

Set aside, for the moment, that holding onto the articles of impeachment would contradict everything Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and the Democrats have said for weeks about the “urgency” of impeachment. They needed to stop him before he could “cheat in the next election,” we were told — that’s why the House could not wait for the courts to rule on the White House’s resistance to stop congressional subpoenas.

All of that would be exposed as a lie.

If Pelosi refuses to submit the articles of impeachment to the Senate, McConnell can convene the Senate anyway, summon the Chief Justice, and swear in the Senators as jurors. Democrats can boycott, but they can’t stop the trial.

McConnell can then propose to dismiss the charges or even hold a vote to acquit the president.

Pelosi can hide the articles of impeachment in Adam Schiff’s basement forever, and it won’t make a bit of difference.

Case closed.

Good discussion between Levin and Dershowitz.

[SOMEPARTS]

Galvanized his base and cemented him as the anti-establishment candidate to independents even after running the country for 3 years. Dems are screwed in 2020.

[Moontrane]

I suspect that Pelosi wants to withhold the articles until January, guaranteeing that the impeachment matter
is headline news next year.  McConnell’s brusque dismissal would render her hard-earned “victory” into
a quick session of dry-humping.

Overreach. The are likely millions of other people like me who don't fit your definition. I'm clearly liberal by Getbig standards. I was employed all of my teenage and adult life until I retired at 65 years of age. I married, had children and owned my first home when I was in my twenties, and have not rented or "lived in my mom's basement" since (my mom never had a house with a basement). Okay, you got me on the out demonstrating part because that has never been my thing. This doesn't mean I have fought for what I believe in.

LOL...WTF?  You really thought my post was about you?  Have you recently created human chains to prevent students from seeing conservatives speak?  Have you recently blocked traffic to protest climate change?

Oh yeah, you think everything is about you, you self centered homosexual drunk.

Pelosi throws impeachment into confusion

"Minutes after the House impeached President Donald Trump, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi threw the process into confusion by refusing to say when or whether she would send the articles of impeachment to the Senate for a trial."

Games. Taxpayers are taking note of this waste.

Unfortunately soon there will be less potential voters paying taxes than those that aren't and that will be the point of socialism taking over. It's at 44.4% now.

[OzmO]

Don't they need a 2/3 vote in the senate to remove him from office?
