The president committed treason multiple times? Surely you could explain how exactly in a short paragraph? Give me the absolute worst and most treasonous thing he did. 

Also, your Democrat candidate pick is pretty soft lol - can you narrow it down to one or two?

yes. and not only treason. his attorney michael cohen is in fucking federal prison for fucking fraud at trump's direction.

during the 2016 election his campaign clearly coordinated with russia about the timing of released emails.

recently, he tried to coordinate with ukraine to help him in an attempt to influence the 2020 election.

and hell, that doesn't even get into all the obstruction of justice his administration has implemented.

i mean, shit you know all that. you know how many people in trump's orbit have gone to prison. he is a criminal. there's is no denial of any of it. and i do not see you denying anything. i see you asking questions. that's the tactic of a "i'm not a supporter of trump, but i'll go to great lengths to hand wave away his despicable behavior, because it triggers the libs, lol" partisan.

as far as the democratic (man, i bet you think you're really clever with the "democrat" langauge, but you're really tipping your partisan hand again) candidate, i think most not named tom steyer and pete buttigieg will beat trump, and even those two have a chance. 2018 is a fairly good indication to me that people will come out to vote against trump, much like people came out to vote against hillary in 2016.

Impeachment wasn’t ever about getting the senate to remove Trump. There was never a chance 2/3 of the senate would vote to remove. This was always about increasing the chance trump is removed in the 2020 election and the Dems winning the senate. 

This trial in the senate along with any new evidence and witness testimony will keep trump’s crimes and abuses front and center for the public for a time. It has potential to sway the 2020 election. 

We aren’t trying to sway trumpkins. We are trying to sway independents and fringe republicans.

[hayden_horn 11360]

the articles have been signed by the speaker, and will be delivered by the managers to the senate momentarily.

Again, you can't keep it to the one single worst thing explained simply in one paragraph like I asked. I cut the bit that starts to answer my question.

"during the 2016 election his campaign clearly coordinated with russia about the timing of released emails."

Clearly? You mean Trump directed someone on his campaign to coordinate with WikiLeaks, who you presume is Russia? Where's the evidence of that if it's so clear? None was ever presented.

No evidence of how wiki leaks got the emails. No evidence that WikiLeaks is Russia, and no evidence that Trump told anyone to "coordinate" with them, whatever that means. The entire Russia hacking story was based on a draft report written by the DNCs consultant, crowdstrike. No one at the FBI ever got a server to analyze.

Anyway, keep it up, the more press the Democrats get, the more idiotic they look. Here's their solemn and serious expression at finally signing impeachment articles lol

the only conclusion i can come up with is that they all bathe in that dark russian nra campaign money, and they have no choice but to go along with trump or be unmasked as being as nakedly corrupt as the president.

This whole process is a sham and a mockery and a mockery of a sham.

more hand waving. and of course, it's inaccurate, and i suppose i could call you an outright liar. but then maybe it's possible you just wrap yourself in the stench of your own farts, and choose to ignore facts that go against your narrative.

Quote

Roger Stone: Convicted of obstruction, giving false statements to a House committee and witness tampering. He also lied to Congress about his efforts to learn more about when WikiLeaks would publish damaging emails about 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

https://www.axios.com/trump-associates-convicted-mueller-investigations-206295a1-5abc-4573-be25-4da19d9adcc9.html

i'm sure trump had no idea what stone was doing.

and i noticed that you did not address his campaign finance fraud to cover up for two different extra marital sexual affairs, one to a famous pornstar while his wife was nursing his youngest son, nor did you address the obvious criminal activity regarding ukraine election interference, which we have in plain old writing:

parnas is coming. and he's willing to talk. that is not going to be good for trump.

oh, and you also neglected to address all the various obstruction the administration has implemented. these are all bad facts for the president.

your president is a criminal. 

but whoo boy, you got me with that jab about the libs!

Last attempt at keeping Trump from getting re-elected? Unemployment is at record lows, markets at record highs. All wages increasing, but at the highest rates at the lowest levels of income. If you can’t point to impeachment, all you can point to is orange man bad; and with the current cast of democrat presidential candidates - that ain’t a recipe for victory.  Over 40% of the American public wanted him impeached before he even had this call with Ukraine.

In the fantasy world of guilty until proven innocent, sure. Thankfully the house did a stand up job of putting together a substantiated, airtight case to send to the Senate. I’m sure it has the bipartisan support that the Speaker said an impeachment would require less than a year ago.

It doesn’t and wont have bipartisan support because the Republican Party that you support or pretend to anyway is a criminal organization beholding to the dark money from the Russians, criminals, etc. that supports them.

Ok, like I said, if what he did was so bad, keep it to that one thing and explain. You said Trump Russia, and your explanation is Roger Stone was convinced of lying to Congress? That's it? The link shows a few other people convinced of bank fraud and lying about shit? Where's the evidence that Trump committed treason and he's Putin's puppet and Russia hacked the DNC? None of it exists, it's just shit repeated by the msm to get eyeballs. 

Please share if you got anything else, that link was underwhelming.

Richard Pinedo: The California man was sentenced to six months in prison in Oct. 2018 for selling bank account numbers to Russians who engaged in election interference. He has no known connection to Trump.

No, he can’t. Not to you, you treasonous piece of shit. It is like talking to my dog. If you are too dim or partisan or drunk to have been paying attention since 2016, no amount of facts stated here will sway you. You were referred to the Mueller report. You then gave the brain dead mouth breather password - none of the facts matter because you disbelieve every news source your Trump God says is bad. You simply do not have the brain power to discern motive and nuance, and so bereft of critical thinking skills, reject the totality of the mountain of evidence, using ‘Deep State’ to discredit our intelligence and State and Justice Departments, and ‘Fake News’ to dismiss any source that provides evidence of his crimes.

‘What evidence’ you have the nerve to ask ? Go fuck yourself Ivan. Again, read the actual Mueller report, not Barr’s whitewash interpretation. Better yet, have some smart person read it and tell you what it means. If you truly ARE that stupid - in January of 2020 - there are no arguments to be made here that will convince you.
