So, basically the most out of the closet D cross-dressed as R Senate caucus then... With about another 40 in various stages of closeting their libness...
With friends like that we will not ever run out of enemas
OK now let’s move on to impeaching Biden for admitting on videotape that he blackmailed the Ukraine and was involved in a pay for play scheme with his son. Oh wait, he’s democrat and Republican have no balls so let’s forget it.
No problem with this dragging on for awhile , keeps the traitors busy and occupied away from passing Chinese Legislation.
Impossible to impeach , but would of loved to see Trump tear a few new assholes

Actually I hope the trial does go forth. If Trump and his team know that conviction is D.O.A. , they can use it as an opportunity to hammer the Dems on all thier hypocrisy, corruption, and horrible policies.
A man wanted Valentine’s Day to be special, so he bought a bottle of absinthe and stopped by the florist to order a bouquet of his wife’s favorite flower: white anemones.
Unfortunately, the florist was sold out of flowers and had only a few stems of feathery ferns.
The man asked the florist to make a bouquet out of the ferns and the flask of liquor.
He added a card and proceeded home.
After a romantic candlelight dinner, he presented his wife with the gift.
She opened the card to read, “Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.”
With a tear in her eye, she whispered to him lovingly, “Yes, and with fronds like these, who needs anemones.”
Why?
Who's gonna report it to the masses?
Kon-sty-two-shun?
What’s that?
Mitt Romney (Utah), Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Ben Sasse (Nebraska) and Patrick Toomey (Pennsyltucky).
The Dems are on track to defeat the Constitution: add two (Dem) states and pack the Supreme Court. However, for now the 'impeachment trial' is dead. Donald Trump is a private citizen and the U.S. Senate cannot try a private citizen for a crime (sedition), let alone convict them and sentence them. Also, to pass a law involving only one single citizen is a Bill of Attainder, strictly prohibited by the Constitution. Imagine a trial where the judge is part of the prosecution; the Dems are putting a Democrat, Senator Patrick Leahy, in charge - and they call all this constitutional!
Note this conversation and remember it because, if the Dems get all that they want, this conversation will have no credibility - there will no longer be a Constitution.
Incidentally, it was the first impeachment trial that was a kangaroo court - more like a secret court of star chamber, however. Like this miscarriage of justice, no evidence was presented in that trial either. I have posted for many months: the Dems will not need evidence, they will simplify everything and just tell us who is guilty and who is innocent.
All tyrannies work that way.
“Yeah, they should bring up any dem crimes, that will infuriate them.”
Agree, and keep them occupied, as you said.
Look at the bright side. The more time they spend on theater, the less time they spend screwing with our lives.
pronounce the word constitution and see what you have
Every time I think that I couldn’t be more
disappointed in Collins, she proves me wrong.
I’ll never vote for her again!
A lot of people I know won’t, either!
I think she is in more trouble than she knows!
>> There is no provision in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights for the impeachment trial of a private citizen.
Wrong.
The Constitution demands that any Article of Impeachment must be issued against a serving, eligible public official. How long the process takes after that point is undefined.
Precedent 1: the processes around Nixon’s impeachment could’ve continued after he resigned. The reason they did not is his PROSECUTORS decided not to continue - after Nixon admitted to mistakes, expressed contrition. The other factor was compassion; Nixon’s declining health.
Precedent 2: After leaving the Presidency,
John Quincy Adams explained in his letters that he was still covered by the rules on impeachment. In fact he went one step further and indicated that he would submit to an impeachment process as long as he drew breath. As far as he was concerned, there was no statute of limitations on it... And he contended it was absolutely morally right that there should be no statute of limitations on it.
This whole legitimacy angle on the Impeachment process boils my piss quite frankly.
The topmost purpose of impeachment is to allow any elected government to depose a despot/tyrant who serves a different master other than the American people - himself or a foreign master - AND prevent that despot/tyrant from coming back into power.
You can argue all you like that Trump doesn’t deserve to be impeached at all. Fair enough. But by that logic, it was overkill to impeach Clinton for being pervy.
If you go one step further and say impeachment is invalid after leaving office, you open a door in the Constitution that was slammed shut for a reason.
Putin is effectively president for life because, at the right time, he switched offices to wipe the slate clean.
If you can’t impeach a president because he steps down, what’s to stop Biden stepping down to escape imminent impeachment under the guise of illness, handing the office to Kamala temporarily, and coming back after 6 months?
What’s to stop Biden/Kamala testing the two term limit to destruction?
You like them apples?
No?
Then stop arguing the retarded idea that impeachment must cease at the moment a POTUS steps down.
