I always knew the Ukraine election fraud angle was a red herring, It's only a matter of time now before he's put in his plaice.
Is this hearing a continuation of the previous ones with questioning of more witnesses or is it something more final?
its more of a next phase. This hearing is now with the House Judiciary Committee where the House Intelligence Committee (Adam Schiff) will present their findings from the previous hearings. Today I think is more of a debate regarding what is impeachable for the president if I'm not mistaken.
Thanks.
Hes got no backbone
He’s a slippery one for sure
Joe Neguse has a future in American politics
The fish jokes end now. No more. Fin!
Is Trumps early departure from the G7 due to other leaders joking about him being reported in the US?
He claims it’s because he’s “done enough press conferences already”... but let’s be honest here...
Joe in top form
So it's happening then... Just saw pelosis short statement
wow they are proceeding with impeachment!
Like it was in any doubt ?
They were always going to, it’s the Senate that’ll dismiss it.
So what's happening is he still president
Yeah but he’s President of France now.
Always the case. They would have looked like mugs if they ducked it. In a court of law this would be a cast iron case of bribery and extortion.
Ah well. I'm sure he'll handle the upcoming strike with dignity and talent.
Do you think they would even take it to trial or just dismiss it outright?.
Turtle (McConnell) has already said it will go to trial.
There is no chance that the Senate will vote to impeach with a 2/3 majority, is there? Especially considering the republicans outnumber the dems.
Nope
So, they are going to set their own rules for the trial, just like the dems did. In an ideal world, the rules would be set only based on the clauses of impeachment, but knowing the GOP, I sense they are going to somehow find a way to subpopena Biden, Clinton and Obama or anyone to distract the process.
Chief Justice Roberts will be the one presiding over the impeachment trial in the Senate, so that might be able to bring a little order to it despite what the GOP is attempting to do with the rules right now.
Trump does not want this over his legacy. He may not get removed ,but this will hurt him badly.
It's going to be nasty isn't it...
Bidens... Presumably planning on calling Joe and hunter
Calling pelosi?
When is this shit show likley to start... I'm guessing January?
It's the American justice system, so who really knew.
Of course not, as Republicans don't have half a spine between the lot of them.
I think a lot of repubs are scared shitless that Trump would go postal if he got impeached. He must have a lot of dirt on lots of them.
No, I think the play from Dems is that the removal trial alone will do enough damage to him so it's worth pursuing.
I think they will cynically try to draw this out as long as possible so he's getting bad press throughout the election season.
I fear all kinds of tactics like these will only hurt the Democrats themselves. Among Trump's base and large parts of Rep voters nobody cares the slightest bit how morally and legally corrupt a politician is, as long as he's in the right party. They do care about sticking it to the Democrats though, and the longer this impeachment process goes on, the larger the backlash will be.
Justice system has nothing to do with it.
I think this should be the plan. Its pretty much certain the Senate won't remove him. So moving the public's (obviously non-Trumpers) perception towards the corruptness of Trump should be the goal. And having this news as the headline as long as possible should help in that.
I don't think those were ever the target demographic and I don't understand the argument that the impeachment process hurting the Democrats more than Trump. And weirdly enough that argument seems to mainly be coming from the Republican side more than anywhere else.
That tells you the Republican base is stirred up by the process. And you can bet your ass they won't hear or accept any of the evidence, so all it does is rally them behind the orange buffoon.
AFAIK first the senate has to decide on the procedure for the vote, with only a simple majority required to vote through a proposed set of rules. So it's possible they could decide on a secret vote on impeachement, in which case there may be enough GOP senators willing to vote against Trump when the time comes.
Like I said, those Trumpers are beyond any help and are not the demographic this impeachment message is targeted towards.
