Man, I wish impeachment was still going. Any chance that the House can introduce more articles? Isn't "only president impeached twice" something that the Democrats want as an achievement? I just bought a Tshirt that says PLEASE IMPEACH ME NEXT.

Also, be wary of anyone claiming that Repubs are going to rock this boat of awesomeness by getting revenge. This boat is on autopilot til November baby. The Dems will simply hang themselves if you give them enough rope with the civil war in their party.

I figured he would be set free with acquittal, I think the GOP will eventually regret this move, there is no restraining him now.

I think there is a very good chance he'll be the first prez impeached twice if he wins in november.

-If this guy gets elected again, this country deserves everything that's coming to it.

Only mitigating factor is if the Senate manages to flip while Trump retains the presidency somehow

So we have nine months to put up with Trump's War Against The Truth and Revenge Show before he hopefully gets voted out and have a visit with Southern District New York attorneys.

'Til then, hang on to yer lugnuts. Things should get pretty interesting what with the spoiled brat and his gang of accomplices looking for payback, looking for more helpful interference from Russia (can't win without them) and taking care of those corrupt behind closed door deals with absolutely nothing to worry about now that Moscow Mitch has made good on his promise to give complete protection to Trump Crime Inc. no matter what kind of trouble Trump stirs up for himself.
We've had almost 4 years of the Demcrats' revenge and propaganda tour.

Well personally I’m glad Nancy Pelosi has finally released her revenge.
I hate to see America becoming a cat fight between Pelosi and Trump but I guess that is where we are at. So I say bring it on.
Frankly, this cat fight has been a long time coming. I’m glad to see it happening.
Maybe we need this as Americans?
Maybe we need to settle the score and let the best man/woman win. Or survive.
If political life in America has deteriorated into this, then so be it.
We have some nine months, possibly nine months and four years to settle this score so just put America on hold, have that great battle between the parties, and lick the wounds later.
I love Pelosi. She’s great.
If we are to engage in political war between Trump and Pelosi, between Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer, between Republican and Democrat, between good and evil, then I don’t want just a war I want an all out political nuclear war.
Where one side is wiped entirely off the political map.
Otherwise, this political crap will go on and on and on election after election and generation after generation.

If we are going to do this, and we should, we need someone that can kick old Donald Trump and old Mitch McConnell in the balls.
Nancy Pelosi is just the gal to do that.
Nancy knows how to play dirty, in the mud, wallowing around against the best of them, until one side either gives up or taken out on a stretcher.
I want that war. That war to the death.
And remember.... they started it, we didn’t. But we can certainly end it. ;)

Well, if Trump gets reelected, that's four more years of Trump being constantly called out and harangued for his crimes against the people, his close association with Putin, his childish behavior, his petty sniping at his detractors, his further alienating our allies, his backfiring tariff wars, his use of racism for political advantage, more hateful diatribes at our immigrant population, his incessant blatant lying, well, you get the idea.

So long as Trump behaves the way he does as described above, he will get called out for it, he will be held accountable and more than likely he will be impeached as often as necessary simply because it's Congress' constitutionally required duty to be a check on his now unbridled, Senate supported reelection bid that will of course allow for Trump to commit any crime, break any rule, violate any Constitutional constraints on his authority and his conspiring with any nation in the world to interfere in our elections in his favor because the Repub controlled Senate ruled that doing so is not egregious enough to get impeached out of office.

Can't wait for a Dem president to behave in exactly the same way and see what the Repubs say about that then. lol

Here it starts

White House may oust impeachment witness Vindman from NSC: report


Petty, petulant man-child. Going after people who, in his depraved mind, did him wrong.
His goombah, Barr, of the trump mafia, will cover him.

"Generation by generation". Are you forgetting the ivy league study that showed conservatives are already out-reproducing leftists? That was a few years ago and the fun is just beginning. Leftists will die out with their generation and conservatives' ideals will live on by having the majority of kids. Also betting on Hispanics, who are conservative culturally, to always vote blue is pure naivete by the Dems.

More impeachment please! Preferably before November if at all possible.

Give me a Dem who's pro-1st, pro-2nd, pro-life, and pro-low taxes and I'll consider it. Until then, it's trump all day every day!

Some more from Walter Shaub
Ex-Ethics Chief: This Is Just The Start Of Donald Trump's Authoritarianism

"
We're in the heads-on-pikes phase of burgeoning authoritarianism:

- Trump is going after witnesses for testifying to Congress
- Trump and his allies are going after Romney
- Senators, with help from Trump's Treasury Dept., are going after Trump's political rival and his son '

- Senators are preparing to go after the whistleblower
- DHS is going after New York
- Barr is investigating DOJ employees for investigating Trump
- Barr issued a policy requiring DOJ investigations of Trump or his political rivals to go through Barr "

Remember to register and vote in Nov.
The reclaiming of our country is at stake.

So anyone who lies to this dudes face that he is “pro-1st, pro-2nd, pro-life, and pro-low taxes” gets to fuck him and his country over. I think he will even throw in a thank you master afterwards.

What's can Pelosi really do, though... bury the Senate in more partisan backed legislation that is never going to go anywhere? Threaten another impeachment? Talk smack about Trump in a CNN interview? They already tried all of this, and none of it was effective.

Looks more like 4 years of Republican revenge for Obama, to me. Trump is clearly largely motivated by a desire to undo anything Obama did, after all.

I reckon that the main thing for the Democrats is to try and not fall out too badly among themselves, despite the fact that there are obviously real clashes of interest among them. Even though I have opinions of my own about who I sympathise with with (and it all seems to me to be very similar to the disputes on the left in the UK and other countries) I come back to the fact that it's vital to try and not fall out too catastrophically - nobody has the One True Faith. The nature of the times is such that no strand on the left is going to be able to win on their own, I reckon.

Anyway, I'm more worried by Coronapocalypse at this point. That's really starting to look quite worrying.

Remember that this is primary season, the 'fall out' as you put it is normal and healthy at this point. This is how the party decides its platform. We want deverse ideas fighting it out in the realm of public discourse. This is how Democracy is supposed to work, not the Republicans 'Do it my way or you are a traitor' authoritarian method. After the Democrats choose a candidate all this infighting will start to settle down, and the party will get behind whoever was nominated, with just a little debate over some of the more controversial planks, and even those should be mostly worked out by September.

Anyway, I'm more worried by Coronapocalypse at this point. That's really starting to look quite worrying.
The Coronavirus is worrying, but it is not really as bad as the news wants to let on. It is basically a really bad flu. In 1st world nations it will stress our healthcare system, but we will be able to successfully treat all but the most infirm.

- This right here. Anyone who thinks we're "entitled" to progress and a liberal democracy is going to be in for a shock in the coming decades. The universe does not write IOUs and entropic decay is the god of all things.

#1 - he is a loser.

#2 - he doesn't do anything related to pay.. unless it's for raw dogging a cum dumpster for $150K (again, he is a loser).

#3 - whatever this sack of shit does won't be effective. Sure, he has murdered a few Mexican children, had a reporter sawed into pieces and beat his former wives. But, this guy is as Byzantine when it comes to revenge as pushing a rope though a hole. This fat fuck can't even keep his precious wall up... well, the parts that he actually got up.

Fucking loser.

"Rocking the boat" meaning empty veiled threats to throw red meat to Trump's base? Eg A request for hunter biden's records and threat of investigation to keep Sleepy Joe off balance? That's not rocking the boat in my opinion. Nothing will come of it, Republicans are too forgiving and thankful for what they have now to do anything (which is smart of them). Acting petty like Nancy the other day only gets you angry CSPAN callers saying they're going to switch parties or never vote for their party again. Nothing good can come of it.
