I voted for Trump/Against Hilary Clinton.   He should be impeached for: Extortion of a foreign government by withholding military assistance to an ally (and benefitting Russia) in exchange

I'm a couple pages back in this fast-moving thread, but I wanted to respond to this.   I'm pretty close to you in demographics, and I was also a child who echoed his parents' pro-Reagan stance, a

Unreal. Biden’s son can take home $1m a year from a Ukrainian company he knows nothing about...but our president acts like the CEO of a company with leverage in cutting deals and this shit happens?

Please explain what Biden and Hunter did.  

And can we talk about Kushner’s business dealings? What about Ivanka’s? It’s cute to think GOP give a shit about inappropriate foreign influence being sold to benefit kids of Pres or VP

And someone who wants to destroy the Johnson amendment has no nefarious schemes whatsoever. Especially one who was found to have funneled the charitable foundation dollars into personal business enterprises. All above board that was.
 

Quote

 

President Trump also has announced his intent to "destroy" the Johnson Amendment, a 1954 provision (named after then-Sen. Lyndon Johnson) in the U.S. tax code that prohibits all 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations from endorsing or opposing political candidates. Repeal of the provision could open the way for huge amounts of so-called dark money — donations from corporations, unions, and individuals aimed at influencing the outcome of elections — to find its way into 501(c)(3) organizations. Unlike 501(c)(3) nonprofits and foundations, the current recipients of such funds — primarily 501 (c)(4) and (c)(6) nonprofits — are not required to disclose their donors.

“Other stuff” = obstruction of justice and emoluments and maybe some treason? How about you throw those in there too maybe?

 

If they're doing what I think they're doing, it's the strongest game-plan. Keep the focus on the most easily understandable crime (for now). If you start including everything from the get go, it quickly becomes way too big for 95% of the country to keep track of, and it also allows the Rs to do what they do best - lie, deflect, and muddy the waters. Stay narrowly focused until you get buy-in from X percent of the country. Once you have that portion of the country on board, then you prove up the next easiest one and bump up the percentage a bit higher. After you've convinced a person that any one individual crime is worthy of the impeachment process, you aren't going to lose them even if they aren't sold on any of the others. At that point, it doesn't matter if they go back to burying their head in sand. Get it as far as you can, incrementally, and you eventually have a significant majority of the country supporting impeachment (on at least one ground) and it becomes really hard for the Senate not to convict. If you throw out 10 crimes at once, a lot of people aren't going to take the time to follow ANY of them, and you lose the ability to ever reach them. If you don't believe me, refer back to the Mueller Report.

I can't believe the majority of the country is so god damned stupid that we have to resort to these tactics, but it appears to be absolutely fucking true.

Crazy debunked conspiracy theories are easier to believe for the ® than listening to the words coming out of Trump’s mouth. “Holy shit, did you hear Trump say that he’s going to nuke San Franciso??”
“Whatever libcuck. Try paying attention to the important stuff, like Obama’s birth certificate.”

The code word is "coup." Let me retype that. The code word is "COUP." That is being repeated and will continue to be repeated much like the word "INVASION."

Invasion was quite a successful tactic so they have gone with a single four letter word that even the simplest of supporters can understand. "COUP is bad. Democrat, librul socialists want COUP so they can take your money, your house and your women." Consider that if Warren keeps trending upward, the lament will be that Liz is counting coup except it will be completely distorted and misunderstood. They know how to project with their base.

Fascinating. If Trump and Jr did what Biden and Hunter did under Obama he would actually be legitimately impeached.

Can someone provide a list of a Republicans who have spoken up and stated that the President of the United States inviting foreign interference in our election process, and committing treason, is wrong?  Republicans on this board? Or in the House, or in the Senate?  Or any Republican elected official at any level, anywhere in the country?  Or on the planet earth? 

Oh, that’s right, there are none.  There is no list.

Post true facts that prove your viewpoint. And no, Brietbart and Fox News don’t contain facts.
