    Meh, he was all too happy to get dirt on his political opponent from a foreign govt.

    And he's the lead impeachment manager

    Obviously, it wasn't actually a foreign govt., but Schiff thought it was.

    Reasonable people can judge that the House Intelligence Committee has a duty to hear potential leads that suggest the President of the United States might be getting blackmailed by a foreign government, but that's another discussion and probably one that's too nuanced for you.

    The important thing is you've accepted that he didn't ask for naked pictures. That's a good start. Consider your sources next time. They're lying to you and you're choosing to accept their version of the truth because you hate liberals.

    Also, your crocodile tears about this are pretty laughable considering you basically accept the POTUS using the military as leverage to do the same.

    House Dem trolls Trump at impeachment by citing a Fox News poll showing him getting crushed by Biden




    “The chart on the screen shows a Fox News poll emphasizing…

    that from March through December,

    Vice President Biden had consistently led President Trump in national polls by significant margins,” she said.

    “Beginning around March, Vice President Biden is beating the president in polls, even on Fox News.

    In April, Biden officially announces his candidacy, and… that is when the president gets worried.”

    She then recounts how

    Biden’s entry into the race

    coincided with the president’s increased focus on pushing Ukraine

    to publicly announce investigations of his prospective 2020 rival.

    “By July, right before President Trump’s call with President Zelensky where he asked for the investigation into Biden,

    the Fox News poll showed Biden beating Trump by 10 points,” she said.

    “And then on July 25th, after years of not caring what vice president did,

    does President Trump ask for an investigation into his formidable political rival in the 2020 election.”

    Fox News legal analyst shames ‘unworthy’ Republicans who have already decided to acquit Trump

    Andrew Napolitano’s latest column explains

    why President Donald Trump’s actions are worthy of impeachment — and

    he shames any Republican senators who have already made up their minds.


    Napolitano starts by making the case that

    there is enough evidence to credibly charge the president with crimes,

    even though Democrats in the House only impeached him for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

    Is Andy a Dem mole?

    Jerry Nadler throws Trump lawyers’ words back in their faces to show abuse of power is impeachable

    Nadler then read a quote from Barr in which he made the explicit case that a president can be removed from office for abuse of power.

    “The fact that

    the president is answerable for any abuses of discretion and

    is ultimately subject to the judgement of Congress

    through the impeachment process means that

    the president is not the judge in his own case,”
    Barr wrote less than two years ago.

    'With me, there's no lying,' Trump says as he lies and lies and lies and lies about impeachment

    Now, with me, there's no lying,” Donald Trump said Wednesday about impeachment.

    You know what happened next, right?

    Yup, Trump unleashed
    a barrage of lies about impeachment.

    Trump made 14 false claims Wednesday spread out between the press conference in which he said “Now, with me, there's no lying” and interviews with CNBC and Fox Business.

    So in other words, they won’t be doing what they’re there to do which is to defend Trump, instead they’ll be attacking the dem by calling them corrupt?

    There is no doubt they have made a clear cut case for removal but they won’t even get 4 republicans to vote for witnesses.

    That doesn’t mean they won’t pay at the ballot box. There are at least 5 republicans who are as good as dead come November.

    Amanda has great article about the rotten, toxic Repugs and similar their voters,

    evidence that America (of the lower 4 quintiles) and its mythical democracy are finished, ed and un able,

    condemned to decline inexorably towards one-party authoritarianism.

    Impeachment trial makes it clear:

    Republicans are beyond reason, evidence, reality and hope
    In liberal, politically plugged-in circles, it is an article of faith that if only Democrats did something different, they would do better at winning political battles.

    I was struck by the fact that Democrats were making a flawless case.

    Their evidence is overwhelming.

    Their arguments are airtight.

    The rhetoric was pitch-perfect.

    It was a tour de force of Enlightenment faith in the power of rhetoric and reason. Rep. Adam Schiff kept morphing, before my eyes, into Atticus Finch, as portrayed by Gregory Peck.

    Atticus loses his case and his innocent client, Tom, is killed.

    Our problem isn’t the Democrats and their “messaging.”

    Our problem is the Republicans.

    Justice has no place in a society run by people who care only about domination and the will to power.

    “authoritarian tendencies” of conservatives have grown unchecked, and

    the parasite has now completely taken over the host body.

    American conservatism is an authoritarian movement.
    (so is Christianity, esp Catholicism)

    The American right has become enthralled with the same idea that has motivated fascists for decades, which is that

    justice, reason and reality itself do not matter — all that matters is raw power.

    a day-long showdown between reason and brute force,”

    To the fascist, she added, it doesn’t really matter if people point out that your rhetoric is lies and your leaders are ridiculous.

    Republican senators, to the last one, are responding with the rhetorical equivalent of fart noises

    Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin exclaimed that it was “offensive” to make such a charge and

    Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, a smirk masquerading as a person, called that suggestion “outrageous” and “embarrassing.”

    what holds together these Republican responses is an unvarnished contempt for reason and facts and,

    even more important,

    outright scorn for anyone foolish enough to cling to those Enlightenment notions of rational discourse.

    This inability to look reality directly in the face is most evident on the Democratic campaign trail,

    All these answers are different flavors of bull .

    The reality is Republicans have disproportionate power, pretty much baked in.

    They will leverage that power

    to stop any and all Democratic agenda items, no matter how minor,

    because, under the leadership of Trump and Senate boss Mitch McConnell,

    they have embraced a fascistic “will to power” philosophy.

    No argument will move them, since

    their goal is to crush their opponents and achieve total domination,

    not to engage in governance based on rational debate and discourse.The only thing Republicans respond to is power.

    they are stifling any remaining care for our democratic values and

    wholeheartedly running toward the siren call of authoritarianism.

    They are lost.

    They aren’t coming back.

    it’s not just the party leaders or elected politicians

    one unassailable number: 42%.
    That’s the consistent baseline of Donald Trump’s approval

    represents the percentage of Americans who have, it appears, wholly rejected reasoned discourse and democratic values.

    42% will likely control the Senate for the foreseeable future and will quite possibly win the presidency again in 2020.

    they cannot change that Republicans, backed by that 42%, simply don’t care.

    To be clear, this situation isn’t hopeless. Yes, it's hopeless.

    https://www.rawstory.com/2020/01/impeachment-trial-makes-it-clear-republicans-are-beyond-reason-evidence-reality-and-hope/?utm_source=&utm_%E2%80%A6

    Even if the Dems win it 2020, sweep the govt, they won't undo, or even try to undo, the damage of 20 years of Repug terror and error, it will only be a short detente in the oligarchy's ratcheting of America downward into authoritarianism.

    the 42%? who are they? We have many rotten, toxic specimens here in Spurstalk.

    GOP senators warned to stay on Trump’s side in impeachment trial


    Republican senators received a violently metaphorical threat before the impeachment vote.

    Which five? The only two I can think of that are likely to lose in 2020 are Gardner and Collins. Of which one will be offset by Doug Jones' sure thing loss. Not sure how you're expecting the senate to be easy to flip.
