These are the ideal conditions for Trump on his State of the Union
Washington Compost ^ | Feb 4, 2020 | Amber Phillips

Here’s another first for President Trump’s impeachment: He will be giving the State of the Union address Tuesday night, less than 24 hours before the Senate is expected to acquit him and end impeachment proceedings.

President Bill Clinton had to deliver his State of the Union during impeachment, in the middle of his Senate trial. And he never once mentioned impeachment during his 77-minute address, reports The Post’s Paul Kane....

Let’s look at some of the most common process arguments they use not to convict Trump.

1. Democrats held witness depositions behind closed doors

2. Democrats subpoenaed witnesses before they passed a resolution announcing the framework of their impeachment inquiry

3. Democrats didn’t impeach him for something matching up with the criminal code ...

Funny how the compost neglects to mention that the House denied Trump and the Repubs their selected witnesses.

I remember him promising over a Trillion in new spending.

A little something for everyone, that would never pass Congress

(I watched almost every minute of that one. Haven’t watched a single minute of this one. Just a couple of clips on YouTube)

It was a perfect call. It was only unseemly if you believe Bidens are guilty. Otherwise the words “look into it” would exonerate Biden. BUT, it could be a problem if Bidens are guilty. So if you think there was something wrong with the call it’s because you probably acknowledge the guilt of the Bidens

Trump didn't avoid the Billy Bush tape as a candidate in the debate. So....I suspect that, if people want to get hammered, they'll do a shot of George Dickel every time Trump says or hints at his impeachment.

“I was impeached by the Democrat House, and my punishment will be re-election.”
