If Trump is re-elected, the House can just pass some new articles. It’s not like there’s a shortage of crimes!

eke out posted:https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/1207714546049323008 Trump is going to demand that the Senate pass a resolution affirming his innocence, which the House will use to even more firmly commit to their position of not sending the articles until an impartial trial can be guaranteed. I'm not sure if this is the brightest or dumbest political strategy I've ever seen.

Nonsense posted:Pelosi should hold the articles until the election or whatever causes the trial to go beyond January 2021 so the Senate can get a new makeup/maybe Mitch is defeated. I had no idea she could hold them at all. That would buy into the GOP argument that the Democrats impeached Trump purely for political reasons. Instead, send it to the Senate and let McConnell destabilize the country by either running a sham trial or refusing to try it altogether.

eke out posted:https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/1207714546049323008 Trump is *freaking out*. He's going to demand full court trial which is the opposite of what mcconnell wants. So now McConnell has to choose between doing the politically expedient thing or please strong daddy. This is wonderful news! I disagree with pelosi on lots of stuff, but she knows how to gently caress with the orange manchild. Meatball fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Dec 19, 2019 |

Its already the Republican narrative completley, it can't be leveraged any more than it already is. Holding it from going to the Senate is a hilariously boss move which is already having the intended effect (making Trump apoplectic and making life hell for McConnell) .

Theyll exonerate me and the Democrat morons will look bad!" Rank and file chuds think the same thing (because they share trump's brain worms), but people who pay attention know that Mulvaney, bolton and others would absolutely sink him. So it's a tough spot McConnell and the rest of the senate Republicans are in. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of fuckhead assholes.

And who was booted out of the House last year in TX32 by Colin Allred, but is now running again in TX17 which is being vacated by the "retiring" Bill Flores. Sessions maybe still owes someone something or otherwise needs to be back near the levers of power for personal profit reasons. Usually people take the hint and go private sector once they're out or just gently caress off and enjoy their forced retirement; him diving back in, in a district where he's an outsider and has no connections or history is pretty suspect in light of this poo poo.

Madkal posted:Certain piece of irony having the gravedigger talk about a low bar for impeachment when the Republicans tried to impeach Clinton over sex acts. The best part of this is that Trump committed adultery with a bunch of pornstars and then paid them hush money and lied about it. He's arguably already beyond what Clinton did, just on that count, and they're not even including that in the articles of impeachment. As often seems to be the case with the modern-day GOP, it's pure projection.

I’m always sure to point this out when a Republican talks about how this is all a sham, “He stole from the GOP to pay hush money to pornstars and they didn’t care then I don’t see why they’ll suddenly care about all this now” It’s enough to get them to pause and think a bit at least which is an accomplishment

Conversational points for chuds who bring up the "63 MILLION VOTES MAKE THIS OK" argument: 65 million people voted for Obama. Does that mean it's ok that he continued to be president even though he committed the crime of being from Kenya? 65.8 million people voted for Hillary. Does that mean those emails don't count? 31 million people voted for Nixon. Does that mean Nixon's crimes were ok? GreatGreen fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Dec 19, 2019 |

Leaving Clinton aside, I’m fairly sure Trump signed off on hush money payments from the Oval in the Stormy Daniels thing. It’s not like the Ukraine thing was his first impeachable offense, just the most damning to the public.

Jared was hosting meetings with rich chinese business men, selling access passports and access to Trump for $500k and up.
