The only problem that I have with JFK’s “book” is this -— He didn’t write it.

I really think Pelosi was acting out a plan when she opposed it.
I think the narative was supposed to be she opposed it until Trump’s actions made her change her mind.
But the play act fell apart when Trump announced he was releasing the transcript. So she suddenly jumped on board before the public could read the transcript.
Making it apparent, it wasn’t about Trump’s actions but about her plan.

it can happen to you if Democrats are in charge

I submit that if the Dems get away with this travesty ... it is not an "if" it is "it WILL happen to anyone who opposes them"

probably NOT! LOL!

Remember, I was a fourth grader, and didn’t know about “ghost writers”.

Democrats need to impeach because they have nothing else to show for their House tenure.

Getting Trump’s scalp isn’t going to cure their butthurt. Impeachment isn’t the Preparation H to their political problems.

They can dish it out but they can’t take it.

I hope that they don’t... for the sake of the country. And none of the BS about upholding the Constitution. The Democrats don’t care about the Constitution. Nor do they care about the founders even they pretend to. They despise both.

JFK put forth the argument that it was COURAGEOUS to stand against the tide of one’s party affiliation to do the right thing.

I certainly agree with the sentiment, but it is very possible - even likely - they weren't his words. Most of PIC was written by others at the behest of ol' Joe in order to prop up JFK's rather thin résumé. JFK was basically a lazy party boy and wouldn't have had the interest or discipline to write a book.

Democrats pretend to pay it lip service but the only thing they truly care about is power - theirs.

And they will remove anyone who stands in their way.

This woman is doing exactly what she is leading her party to impeach the POTUS for....

Pelosi is guilty of abuse of power and abuse of the American people....she is also denying President Trump's voters...she is nullifying the Trump vote.

Why would anyone ever vote for a Democrat again...?

Democrats are abusing power to nullify the votes of 63 million Americans without any real proof of presidential wrongdoing.

They’ve reduced impeachment to a political punch line.

Because nothing they’ve shown even rises to the level of an impeachable offense.

Yet a Seinfeld impeachment is what they’re setting as a precedent and its in our future.

Indeed. But I was in the fourth grade when I read that book, so I believed that it was JFK. I know better now.

“as McCarthyism is now by Historians”

McCarthyism is seen as a black mark in US History by “Historians”.
That’s the problem. The Left Controls History.

Before Beck went off the rails, he often spoke of collecting original documents and books so that, in time, when needed, he had the real deal to combat the spin.

Most of the McCarthy era are gone. Lots of us are racing toward the Big Hereafter.
Who will tell the truth, when the Historians get done with the “facts”?

“The Democrat leaders aren’t deranged.

They aren’t childish.

They aren’t ignorant.

This impeachment is a coldly calculated and carefully crafted attempt by the Democrat leaders to stop any investigation of their criminal activities.”

—————————————————————————————————

This needs to be copied and pasted in every thread about impeachment.

These people are hardly “stupid” they’re desperate.
Everything about most of their lives revolves around stealing money through legislation and cronyism. Them, their family members and many of their friends are wealthy because of it.
Their desperation is plain to see.

The Democrats have only succeeded in making Trump a victim.

With the trifecta of the FISA abuse; the empty Mueller investigation; and this weak impeachment, Trump can claim with hard evidence that he has been a victim of the Democrats campaign of personal destruction that has used the massive resources of the federal government to bear down upon him.

But they have never had truth on their side, and fair minded people of all political philosophies can see how he has been targeted.

Impeachments have been a joke lately, and yes I include Clintons.

Clinton’s was a joke, but at least there was a crime. Also the vote for the inquiry was bipartisan unlike the inquiry this time.

Bill Clinton’s lying under oath and lying to everyone in America does not constitute a high crime and misdemeanor?
