[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This really is pathetic:

The title should read "Partisan lawmakers briefed on Trump's mental health" since according to the linked article  [b]"all of the lawmakers in attendance were Democrats, except for one Republican senator."[/b] No one is named but I suspect they include those who voted for his impeachment recently in a vote that most Democrats in the House would not support.

Oh, blow that stuff and nonsense out your butt. You know full well that Republicans were invited; it's on them that they are choosing to be partisan and not to pay attention. [/quote]

You are a moron!

The vast majority of Democrats did not attend either so they must be partisan and not paying attention - in fact, the reports I read say that the actual number who attended were about a dozen out of 535 senators and members of the House!

The hysteria of liberals is out of control.

Get it through your thick heads: Trump will be around through 2020 and if the Democrats field a candidate as flawed as Hillary he will win reelection and you nuts will be going on about impeaching him or removing him from office all the way to 2024.[/quote]

[b]Just out of curiosity, having the benefit of hindsight would it be apropos to say that they hysteria of conservatives was out of control in 2009 seeing how Obama thru 2017?
[/b]I'm just wondering if this is a pot calling the kettle black situation considering the GOP was going on about his birth certificate and suspicions of him being Muslim and were similarly obsessed about removing him from office. [/quote]

No argument from me there: there was a segment of right wingers who wanted to delegitimize Obama and it was disgraceful.

Similarly there is a segment of liberals who are trying to do the same to Trump and it is also idiotic - and the proof of it is that only about 50 Democrats in the House supported the vote to impeach Trump and a dozen Democrats attended this farcical meeting with Lee.[/quote]

Pelosi and Schumer are correct: Now is not the time to vote to impeach Trump because the Democrats do not have the votes. After the 2018 midterms, the Democrats WILL have the votes, and Trump will be impeached (if he has not resigned before then) in January 2019. He will do untold damage if he's still in office a year from now, but smart politicians know not to vote to impeach when they don't have the votes to win. [/quote]

Where you are off the mark is that even if the Democrats take control of the House and even if there is sufficient support to impeach Trump you still need 67 votes in the Senate to remove Trump from office and that is not going to happen. And don't start about the Democrats getting to that number in the mid-terms because there are only 8 Republican senate seats up for reelection and most are in safe red states. OTOH, there are 25 Democratic senators who are up for reelection ten are from red states or states where Trump won.

Clinton was impeached but there were not the votes to remove him from office. Why do you think that it would be any different for Trump especially since the conventional thinking seems to be that the Republicans like having him around because he is a "useful idiot" in getting legislation passed?[/quote]
