Want to argue about politics? Healthcare reform? Taxes? Governments? You've come to the right place!
Try to keep it civil though. The rules still apply here.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostIf your point is that the Democrats should be working for the American people instead of trying to overturn a legitimate election, then, yes, I made your point.
You made my point by assuming that there is nothing Trump has done that is impeachable, therefore it is the 'Democrats fault'.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostNot according to the Constitution which explicitly defines impeachment as a remedy for actual high crimes, such as bribery and treason. "Malfeasance" (whatever that is) and "abuse of public trust" (whatever that is) are exactly the sort of vague, subjective nonsense the Founding Fathers deliberately rejected when they excluded "maladministration" as a trigger for impeachment.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostI'm not sure it is possible to have anyone managing the impeachment that would not be portrayed and ultimately perceived as 'rabidly anti-Trump'.
That is, I think position drives perception right now, not facts, not reality. If a person says something bad about Trump, they are necessarily 'anti-Trump' and the pro-trump forces will rally against them.
It's like what happens if you are in a YEC church and you start asking if an evolutionist might have a point about something. You become 'the enemy' very fast.
That is what Trump relies on with his base. He knows that anything he does that the media calls out will always be believed to be in some way manufactured by the 'fake new'. The idea it's actually what was reported, or that it's as bad as it appears to be, is believed to be impossible. Its the "no true scotsman" fallacy on a massive scale.

I think, because it's driven by hate more than fact, it just looks like a "we're gonna do whatever it takes".
Yeah, I know, we're gonna disagree.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Schiff still standing on his claim that he has a "mountain" of evidence proving that Trump colluded with the Russians but wouldn't share it with Mueller for some reason and still won't disclose any of it even now...
The only one who would have been better for Trump is if Mad Max(ine) Waters chaired the committee.
