More ignoring reality. These idiots keep regurgitating the "Dems weren't doing the work of congress because of impeachment" yet as you say, bills were piling up on McConnells desk. These idiots don't want to know the truth because the lies make them feel good.
I was referring to the founders who developed our system of government we're so fond of citing but hate the idea of actually following.
Funny, it sounded a lot like every Democrat involved in the impeachment proceedings wanted him removed, as did every citizen calling for his removal post-impeachment. How on earth does impeachment without removal undercut him? He's been even more blatant since the Senate failed in their duty. Hell, at this point everyone knows exactly what kind of person he is, an impeachment wasn't going to convince them to vote in a different direction.
Yeah they did, that's why the impeachment clause was included. They did not forsee the current Republican party, and the structure that supports them.
It wasn't necessary. It was discussed ad nauseum on this forum, that if Democrats had walked into the house (or the house to the senate) with any charges or comments that Republicans could have gotten a fingernail under, they would have and shredded the entire proceeding. They still did that, but they had to do it based on procedural garbage and whatever shit they felt like making up, instead of attacking the substance of the articles as they were. The house Democrats did their due diligence on that part, by focusing on two charges that were so blatant, so obvious, and so easy to understand that they were textbook reasons for impeachment.
Belly fire won't fix this, it just escalates the existing conflict from a cold civil war to a hot one. At this point, I'm convinced that our government as we knew it is dying on the vine, or is dead already. Nothing short of a complete cycling of all existing congress members will cleanse it, and given that you cannot cycle them all at once (legally) it probably won't happen. The only other alternative is for the Republican party to just roll over and die, and soon, like before another Republican president gets elected. That MIGHT be enough to revive our political infrastructure and calm down the insanity we've seen over the last ~10 years. You may call it defeatist, I call it realistic. We've been shown exactly the level at which our political bodies are permitted to operate, and we need only a single president as vile as Trump but actually competent to see the entire republic collapse.

Ummmm... This is getting very interesting very fast. Lawyers don't usually make claims like this in open court if they can't back it up.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange alleges that Trump offered him a pardon if he denied that Russia hacked the DNC
The person said to have made the offer was Dana Rohrabacher, a former Republican congressman known for his pro-Russia views.
Just going to leave this here but it probably deserves it's own thread.
Zeke Miller is a WH correspondent. I can't see him posting that satirically without spelling out that's what he's doing. That seems like a direct quote since he also @ her on it..
