In my humble (and current) opinion.............because morality doesnt come into an impeachment, its about constitutional law / executive branch law.
if it was not illegal for the president to hire a foreign power to gin up a conspiracy theory built from the ground up to help a president get re-elected, then im sorry but there isnt much to impeach on here.
i hope that it's illegal, for obvious reasons, but ultimately someone with an actual education on the subject should be trotted out to make his case.
Impeachment doesn't (and shouldn't) have shit to do with whether or not the President broke a law. I think the only reason it's such a big deal is because it's something relatable for americans to talk about.
Congress has no business enforcing laws anyway since they are the ones that write them. It's super clear in the constitution that an impeachment + Senate conviction doesn't mean a man is guilty of anything. It just means they are unemployed.
When it comes down to it, I don't think impeachment is much different than the Board of a major company voting to remove the CEO to keep the stock holders happy. The company shouldn't have to keep a CEO they think sucks because they can't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he sucks.
It’s official: The FOP has resoundingly come out in favor of a fascistic rightwing American presidency.

America’s largest police union doesn’t seem to understand what “due process” is.

Apparently the Israeli government just banned dancing. That has to be fake news. Someone google dancing Israelis and confirm.

aaaand this will do:
The President, Vice President and all Civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
The charge of high crimes and misdemeanors covers allegations of misconduct by officials, such as perjury of oath, abuse of authority, bribery, intimidation, misuse of assets, failure to supervise, dereliction of duty, unbecoming conduct, refusal to obey a lawful order, chronic intoxication, and tax evasion.
so basically he's fucked and the only saving graces he has going for him is he wasnt drunk and people keep mysteriously misplacing his tax filing documents.

How about that Terry Bean, you guys.
All the best people.
i don't think the framers of the constitution intended that a duly-elected president could be thrown out of office at the discretion of the legislature. that would seem to make the legislative branch superior to the executive.
the founders made impeachment possible only for "high crimes and misdemeanors." they didn't have to include that phrase so we have to assume that it was intended to mean something.
the problem is there's no real definition of what that means and no one uses that phrase anymore. from what i've read on the subject, i don't think actual criminality is required for impeachment. it looks like "high crimes and misdemeanors" was a term of art that meant something other than actual crimes. disloyalty, abuse of power, etc., will probably suffice.
"So they have a brand-new president in Ukraine, good guy by the way. I’m on a phone and I know many people are on the phone,” Trump said before mocking the idea that he wanted help in digging up dirt on his potential 2020 rival, Joe Biden. “Because when you call the leaders of country many people listen. I’m on the phone and they want me to say to this brand-new president who just got there, called to congratulate him, ‘Please, could you help me?'”
“I’m an honest person anyway,” Trump claimed. “Do you think when I’m making a call to a newly elected president of the country that I would say something improper, when I know there are so many people listening on the line?”
good point by trump here. you'd have to think he is an actual retard to believe he would threaten the ukraine even though people are listening, and that can't be right.
I reckon he thought he could get away with it, if he didn't directly mention the aid he held up. He knew what he was doing, he wanted dirt and tried to get it without obviously breaking laws.
Don't believe a word he says, the manner in which he's trying to discredit Schiff for clearly paraphrasing the events in question is extremely dishonest. Verging on comedy.
Not that I know shit about Schiff, he could be another dishonest politician for all I know. But carrying on like a fucking child and clearly making things up to discredit him is retarded.
He even said it three times I believe that he was paraphrasing.
I hope he wins another term honestly, the comedy/entertainment is priceless.
how horrible is this line? ya trump didnt make it at all in NY becoming POTUS. imagine following the lead of pelosi, schumer and Schiff, these are the leaders of the wannabe tranny blowers. can't you see that u need to let the democrats fail miserably and get new ppl at the top of the party. and not the squad JFC u are guys are a mess
