Republican Representative Justin Amash backs impeachment of Trump

[DrDoug]

They've got lots of links of the town hall and commentary up on YouTube. One thing that I thought of as I listened to his pointed defense of his conservative credentials is that he is the kind of conservative that could get the ball rolling on his side of the aisle. I can't stand his voting record but the fact that he's the real deal in Conservaland may be an asset to him. It makes it real hard for Republicans to dismiss him, especially among his constituents come next election. He has two challengers right now so it will be interesting to see how the primary polling is once the races get under way.

I hope he keeps speaking up and that his voice is heard by many. IOW I hope the media doesn't lose interest in what he is saying...

This one is also worth watching.

He fields an awkward question from a MAGA hat wearer. She gets heckled a lot while asking her question, but she drones on and on about derp state crap and takes forever to ask anything that amounts to a question. His answer is solid. He's a smart guy. I think he's a little dangerous for Trump. Not enough though. There needs to be more of them.

She was really painful to watch. Wondered what her user name was here. Spider something I'm sure.

She got heckled because she wanted to lecture the meeting about the derp state. I agree, many more are needed if the Republican party expects to be taken seriously. At this point, they're the party of alt-reality.

Someone over at Daily Kos put the tweets together:
While Amash has voted for 90% of Hair Furor's way it's good to see him not let up on this. Of course I am rooting for injuries to both sides here with the rest of us being the eventual winners if Amash can convince his fellow white supremacists in the House to join him.

Amash is a white supremacist now? His mother is from Syria and his father is Palestinian.

Yeah that was the same red hat wearing mouth breather I saw on a different clip rambling on about Trumping doing nothing wrong and it was unconstitutional to impeach him for it. Because she knows bureaucracy and deep state is out to get him! Something treason. Hillary. Mueller. Hail Hannity. HERP A DERP!

This is what I was talking about in the other thread about how long it will take to fix things. You can't fix stupid. This woman is not able to be salvaged from the Maga trash bin.

I'm reviving this thread because Uday Trump tried to troll/threaten Amash on Twitter:

Donald Trump Jr.

and Amash was very polite and threw Uday's own words (re: dirt on Hillary) right back at him:

Justin Amash

she has experience with a bureaucrat, though!

seriously though: what the fuck happened to make Teabagger darlings (Amash) become the (temporary?) sensible darlings of the brain-fucked GOP?

Amash recently quit the House Crazy Caucus, I mean the Freedumb Caucus, that he was one of the founders of. It seems that there is no room for law and order conservatives in their little group now that they are circling their wagons to protect Felonious D from impeachment.

On the revival of this thread, I really want to see Felonious Jr. do the perp walk, orange jumpsuit and all. It would be excellent to see this arrogant little shitstain sweat some prison time and walk away with a criminal record. He's arrogant enough in believing that they have gotten away with their crimes that he confident in attacking Amash directly. Not only that but his threatening him in the upcoming primary hints at the uncaring orange semen donor he owes his life to backing his opponent.

That and he would have to live with his criminal record... his semen donor will probably stroke out when shit really starts flying.

Amash just quit the republican party. https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/04/politics/justin-amash-leaving-gop/index.html

"Today, I am declaring my independence and leaving the Republican Party," Amash wrote in a Washington Post op-ed Thursday morning. "No matter your circumstance, I'm asking you to join me in rejecting the partisan loyalties and rhetoric that divide and dehumanize us. I'm asking you to believe that we can do better than this two-party system — and to work toward it. If we continue to take America for granted, we will lose it."

Guess he didn't measure up to that purity test I've seen so much concern about when trolling the Dems

Hey just bet his future that he'll be remembered as the voice of reason in this age that no one would listen to.

 

[herm0016]

i just want you guys to remember the nice things you said before you start attacking him, now that he is considering a run for the presidency.

I remember perfectly, thanks

Is he resigning?
Is he up for re-election?

If the answer is no then we have a winner.

There is no political upside to this for this guy. He's going to get primaried now and the Dems will show him no love. Either he found a moral fiber somewhere in his sock drawer or he's an idiot.

I'm good.

He is going to suck more votes from Trump than he will from Biden. His policies are still shit, but at least he isn't a Trump sycophant.

YEP!

i don't get why the media spin is saying he will derail Biden's campaign and take votes from him. what do they have to gain by telling us that?
He will draw a few votes from Trump, and that's fine with me.

That's because Trump is a simpleton. He has probably heard that 3rd parties and non-voters usually help Republicans.

The only affect he’ll have are the never trumpers that won’t vote for a democrat and the never Biden. Far outnumbered by independents that wanted to give Trump a try in 2016 and the Obama non voters.
