MoscowMitch has said repeatedly now that if the House votes for impeachment the Senate would be forced to hold a trial. Then again, the turtle has flip-flopped in the past so I guess we can take that with a grain of salt.
What the senate will do really is the central point of the entire process, and that's going to come down to what the voters back home will think. The question really becomes "how red is my state". Who is going to be willing to cross that line and become both a hero and a traitor? It makes me think that perhaps having senators elected wasn't the best idea after all.
There will be no 'what the voters think'. The day of thinking voters has past, due to a massive effort at brainwashing the American public by conservatives that has been finally completed. What we have today is 40% of the voting population with straws in their noses snorting up Fox News and falling into a coma. To resurrect American Democracy from its grave today will require the destruction of conservative propaganda machines. The instant broadcast of world uncertainties and terror has destroyed the capacity of people to think rationally. Everywhere we are open to manipulation by fear and the average Joe Blow is too untrained and to unsophisticated to see it. The right is narcotically addicted to fear and it has changed the wiring of their brains. Madness reigns. The right is so convinced the left is dangerous they are going to destroy us. We are what we project and they see monsters. In my opinion, you need to wake up and get a grip. Freedom is at stake. The machine cares nothing for who it grinds under.
That's a statement I will never agree with, it's an idea that will never end well.
That's back on the political bandwagon. Trump was elected by the rules, that you disagree with the outcome of the election is a political issue.
I've already done it and I'm doing rather well. I can even watch Fox News for 5 minutes without dying of laughter. And have you ever watched the the emotional level at which the ads are aimed? The masters of manipulation sure know the intellectual rigor of their audience. Without Fox News and the White Supremacy machine, the country will get better. Think of them as cancer. You want to let that grow in your body. You do feel profoundly that such voices should be allowed, but just imagine if you knew the truth was the other way round. Then you would want to excise the danger. It's just a matter of what you see and how truthful or truthy it is, no?
We have something in common then: You want to make people stand up and take care of themselves and I want them to never be able to be brainwahsed by conservatives. I guess we're a couple of Nannies.
Bullshit, his ability to get to work on a publicly financed road was based solely on his efforts. I assume he used the car he built himself, from parts he personally made. The fact that he has electricity, water, gas at his house is based only on his own efforts. Greenman has created his own world with his bare hands.
Look, if he convinces himself that all his successes and failures are of his own, then it is far easier for him to blame others for their failures. He may be wrong on both accounts, but at least his emotions are justified (to himself).
This article is a good read on a lot off this. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2019/10/trump-johnson-impeachment-edmund-ross/
To use a metaphor, Trump won a fight by the rules using 6 oz gloves when his opponent used 10 oz. Hint, Russia supplied the gloves.
What information did the original complaint lack? I don't think the original complaint was ever intended to cover all offenses.
