Which one is losing it???

Seems like whenever Trump does ANYTHING that the Dem's / left don't like (which is just about everything) they get "triggered" and get their collective panties in bunch.

Notice that the democrats' collective energy is being wasted SOLELY on one thing?
Now I understand why they are always losing it.


FOUR MORE YEARS!

I am a legend in my own mind!

pete will post obsessively about the republicans who are in favor of
impeachment, and says nothing about the democrats opposed to
impeachment ( yes, to Petes chagrin, they do exist, he’s just desperate to deny it).

More Republicans and fewer Democrats each day

New: Republican Rep. Mac Thornberry has announced that he will not run for reelection next year, Dallas Morning News reports, making the 13-term lawmaker the 6th Texas Republican in Congress to head for the exits ahead of the 2020 election.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

i agree it’s concerning. the remedy is the next election, not undoing the last one.


“As Republicans have said for decades, the United States is not a democracy but a representative republic. The purpose of the impeachment clause is precisely for the trustees of the voters in Congress to undo what the voters did.”

agreed, when there is an impeachable offense. “because i hate his guts”, and “because he humiliated our side
by beating the unbeatable hilary”, don’t qualify.

Jim, the Ukraine thing is just the tip of the iceberg. Spinning it into being driven by personal grievances is using the Russian divisive playbook. I have not seen any Democratic Party leadership comments resembling your quotes.

Here is where I think it should head next, along with the other buried documents. Denigrating the FBI and CIA for years and then having them find out you were lying to them is not recommended.

Benjamin Wittes in Lawfare

President Trump told two senior Russian officials in a 2017 Oval Office meeting that he was unconcerned about Moscow’s interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election because the United States did the same in other countries, an assertion that prompted alarmed White House officials to limit access to the remarks to an unusually small number of people, according to three former officials with knowledge of the matter.

The comments, which have not been previously reported, were part of a now-infamous meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, in which Trump revealed highly classified information that exposed a source of intelligence on the Islamic State. He also said during the meeting that firing FBI Director James B. Comey the previous day had relieved “great pressure” on him.

A memorandum summarizing the meeting was limited to a few officials with the highest security clearances in an attempt to keep the president’s comments from being disclosed publicly, according to the former officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.

Shortly after the story broke, I received a message from a person directly involved with the FBI’s decision to open a counterintelligence and obstruction investigation of President Trump in the immediate aftermath of the firing of FBI Director James Comey. To say this person, who had clearly learned about the matter for the first time from the Post, was angered by the story would be to understate the matter.

The message read in relevant part: “None of us had any idea. Multiple people had opportunity and patriotic reason to tell us. Instead, silence.”
