The 2nd Impeachment of (former) President Donald J. Trump (Page 1/9)
blackrams FEB 09, 06:52 PM
While it was taxing, I watched the entire first day of the Impeachment proceedings of DJT. Watched both Prosecution and Defense.

The vote on whether or not this trial was constitutional came out as expected of 56 for, 44 against proceeding..

Personally, although the Prosecutors had some very emotional and condemning arguments, the defense was more technical on what Impeachment is and technically should be.
I've stated many times that I am not a DJT fan and I tend to consider things from a less than emotional perspective. It's pretty damn obvious this is more of a political confrontation to ensure DJT can't run for President again. While he may try, unless he runs against the current Speaker of the House Pelosi or maybe even HRC, I sincerely doubt he could win again.

The Dems have hired a commercial movie company to produce a video version of the riot and other stuff to support their case, should be entertaining.
I hope they include clips of Rep Maxine Waters and several others giving inflammatory and inciting speeches. That may be too much to ask for.

Your thoughts?

If Trump decides to run again in 2024, I'm predicting that he will run as a Republican but if he goes the third party route the Republican party will die.

Biggest example of cancel culture to date, and nothing more.

I would like to go on record as saying that the very idea is outrageous, a total sham, a circus and an affront to the sanctity of both the legislative and executive branches. However, in a time where the bizarre has become banal, I can barely eke out a convincing yawn.

Yes, this is cancel culture to the extreme. And I think it's disgusting.

I'm also not a big fan of Donald Trump. But I held my nose and voted for him, because IMO he wasn't as bad as the alternative.

That said, I believe the intended purpose of impeachment is to remove a current President. I also believe the leftists are (ab)using impeachment, solely to serve an agenda. But they're so focused on trying to 'cancel' Donald Trump, they might get blind-sided by the next Republican candidate.

Speaking of which, I hope Ron DiSantis runs for Prez in 2024. He will get my vote, if he does. He's our current Governor (in Florida), and he's been doing a great job!

It's hard to choke down some of the crap that we are fed now and told its news. So they are putting together a hollywood version of his speech? If it's edited in any way how can it be considered as evidence?
I don't give a **** about Trump, it's about how they are twisting the laws and ignoring the constitution. Today it's Trump, what will they do tomorrow?

They had tweets that people made as evidence today. Anything is evidence now!

It's yet another offshoot of the fact the left has never gotten over HRC losing to Trump in 2016.
They couldn't accept it, have never gotten over it, swear the election was stolen by both the Russians and FBI's Comey and they are still looking for some kind of revenge.
Couple that with the fact that Trump did come close to winning re-election and the left is still in bloodfest frenzy to get him out of politics forever over fear he may prevail in 2024, but it all goes back to 2016.

Agreed. I was surprised that DJT won the Republican nomination, he was never my favorite candidate. But, he got my vote based on who the opposition was. While I still am not a fan of DJT personally, I do think he did a good job.

I guess that makes me several different un-complimentary things. It is, what it is.

Sadly that is the case. Most that are tried by society never recover even when they are proven innocent.
My girlfriends second cousin knows a guy that said he saw you in the park.
Now you are in the park, what could be bad about being in the park?
Depends on how the media wants you to be seen.

The hate for Trump is an old and long hatred. It is being used to cloud what is really going on.
There will be long standing conflicts raised by these actions.
Manipulation on both sides and pressure to be seen will cause irreversible damage to our nation.
