MAGAThread XVIII: The Authority Is Total

[Gormwood]

so......why is impeachment being held up now?

Because people who aren't Trump fanboys and meme addicts aren't going to want a trial where the jurors declared acquittal even before it started.

[Thermodolia]

Apparently when one has bone spurs one can wear flip flops, but not combat boots.

Weren't Bush and Clinton draft dodgers too?

Bush served in the National Guard while Clinton registered with the draft and was never drafted

[Nobel Hobos 2]

At least there was success in making Iraq an Iranian satellite!

One wonders why Bush wasn't impeached for that unbelievable failure and the lies he pushed.

NOT impeaching Bush worked out very well for the Democrats. Deeply unpopular in his second term, Bush tarred his whole party giving Dems control of Congress in 2007–2009 (110th Congress) then the holy grail of 60 votes in the Senate in the 111th, along with the election of Obama.

In short, political expediency. I agree with you Bush deserved to be impeached.

Remember when delaying government processes for a more favorable administration was bad? Merrick Garland remembers.

Meme addicts are contributing members of society sir and I don't appreciate your slander against innocent memesters.

Democrats have done everything in their power to reign in this out of control POTUS. The Democratic base takes to the polls next November in massive numbers and reward their congresspersons.

While they're at it, might as well vote for the Dem nominee (whoever) since we've been assured Mitch and his pals will not honor the impartial command of their oath as jurors in the Senate trial of Trump.

[Gormwood]

If Trump actually manages to get reelected despite being impeached then that pretty much discredits impeachment as a check on power forevermore.

but that's what happened with Hillary they found her innocent before there was even a mention of no trial. so its laughable that the democrats are crying foul about republicans being un fair. what's unfair is that instead of helping the people who gave them the house the democrats focused on removing Trump from office. the way I see it is that the longer and harder the democrats come after trump to remove him the worse he becomes he most likely would have been a 1 term president if it weren't for this whole Russia probe, and impeachment deal

Hardly so. It hasn't been followed through. It's like saying a building with no roof won't keep out the rain, no shit it doesn't have the other bit to complete it.

not really Clinton was re elected after his impeachment

Yep. Looking back all you do is look away. I tell you this though, Trump is never gonna get over what happened yesterday. Never. He'll be looking back at this until he's kicked it.

I wonder what crazy thing he'll try and do to get even?

being re elected and having the democrats lose control of the house would most likely be enough in his mind.

[Gig em Aggies]

WRONG!!

not wrong his impeachment trial happened in 98 and he left office in 2001

from wiki (Clinton was impeached on December 19, 1998 by the House of Representatives.)

Three impeachments that resulted in no conviction would make it look useful as most Americans think of the U.N. Although it would be ironic and amusing if Trump once again broke norms by being the first President to be successfully convicted and removed from office. That would eat him more than any subsequent state trials for his laundry list of crimes.

That's the only place it's gonna happen too.

BTW, Clinton was not up for election in 2000. His Veep was and Al Gore lost. How in God's name do you not know that?

in reality he is still basically innocent until proven guilty but this Congress has thrown basic criminal justice rules out the window from many floors up

Hence he wasn't re-elected after being impeached. He was never up for election after 96

eh that was back when I was 11 and im 29 now so 18 years of other crap in my head can muck up the memory.

[Vetalia]

I have to give Trump credit, I've never seen someone attack a dead man on Twitter twice and lose each time. Of course, as he is the self-proclaimed Chosen One, King of Israel and God's Second Coming he may very well be taking the fight to the afterlife by virtue of his Great Wisdom, as prophesied by Paul of Manafort in Two Corinthians.

Damn son, Trump’s base is fracturing

So impeachment begins when? 2021? And if they don’t take the senate 2023?

God's Second Coming...

Don’t forget that part of the title. Those three extra words provide the context that takes it from ridiculous to cartoonish lunacy.

Evangelical leadership is turning on him; the Evangelical laity never will, similar to how the military leadership has been turning on him while the enlisted rank and file love him more than ever.
