Impeachment II thread

[TomC]

Of course a third impeachment can go forward. All that is needed is to start the proceedings in the House.

How unfortunate that the USA inflicted itself with a president who has managed to keep pushing the envelope of unconstitutional behavior.

Come on, that's not fair, Biden hasn't even been in office for 2 months yet.

You think he would object to a third impeachment of Trump simply because it has only been 2 months?

I doubt that Biden can be bothered with this.

He's in the position that Obama was in 2009. Mopping up the results of the previous(Republican) administration.

At least Biden knows, going into the project, that the Republicans don't care about improving the situation for the American people. They mostly just care about their partisan political interests. Obama actually believed that the GOP would be interested in rescuing the USA.
Boy, was he wrong.

Biden knows about that. He was there. He knows better than to trust a Republican politician for anything but partisan politics.

So then Biden wouldn't object if Congress impeached Trump a third time.

I don't know what Biden's response to such things would be. He's busy repairing the damage Trump left behind, and probably hasn't time to fool around with that.

You're sending mixed messages. You say Biden is "repairing the damage Trump left behind" which indicates you think Trump is bad. Yet you also describe taking part of a third impeachment as "fool around" which indicates you think impeaching him isn't a good thing to do.

Presidents are not in the loop on impeachment proceedings. I would think you would know that.

There's no mixed message here.
Biden is busy taking care of the American people. If The House starts yet more proceedings against Trump, Biden has no reason to get involved until those proceedings reach Senate level at least.
None.

Maybe by the time Pelosi gets this done, Trump will be such a has been that even McConnell and Cruz vote responsibly. Maybe Pelosi & Co will just support state level investigations and prosecutors. There's lots of those.

Biden has a lot on his plate at the moment. Fixing things should be higher on his list than identifying and holding accountable the perps who caused the mess.


You don't seem to grasp the difference between a public servant and a partisan politician. Some of us do. And nowadays we vote Democratic, even if we vehemently disagree with much of the Democrat's platform.

Because partisanship is not the same as patriotism. TeaPartiers generally don't get that part. Those facts are right out there for anybody to see.

TomC said no such thing. Why did you just make that up and declare it? We can all see what he wrote. It wasn't that.

How would TomC know what Biden thinks?

That's the opposite of what I said, very nearly.

I think that America is better off if the president never refers to traitors in any important way again.

Maybe make a joke on Sunday TV about the golden calf/ idol or something. Perhaps the difference between Jill Biden and Stormy Trump(or whatever her name is).

But no, I don't want any more federal prosecutions of America's greatest traitor in living memory. Let him sink to the bottom of the TeaParty cesspool where he belongs. States have plenty of reasons to take on the prosecution. Biden can walk away, chuckling.

Trump can wail and gnash his teeth, while Cruz quietly makes a deal with the Democrats. Politics makes strange bedfellows.

I wonder what wooden teeth gnashing sounds like.

Ever see a kid trying to build something with wooden tools? Takes that wooden saw to a twoXfour for an hour? That.

I am pretty sure the only thing Jason knows is that he is way too clever for everyone else in this forum.

According to shifty Mitch in a coda to the second impeachment trial, it's now up to the justice system to indict and convict. Is this the approach you would favour for the con who was President--sort of like France has done against two of its corrupt former Presidents?
