Donald Impeachment

That's just textbook retaliation. And then to go after his family?
Fucking monsters. I'm sure Junebug will tell us it's the Dems fault.
 
Lamar Alexander, Moscow mitch, leningrad lindsey, and susan collins are appalled.
 
IT IS AGAINST THE LAW!!!!!!!!!!!
18 U.S. Code § 1513. Retaliating against a witness, victim, or an informant

Whoever knowingly, with the intent to retaliate, takes any action harmful to any person, including interference with the lawful employment or livelihood of any person, for providing to a law enforcement officer any truthful information relating to the commission or possible commission of any Federal offense, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both.

Yep

The same MFers, who planned all along to acquit our asshole-in-chief regardless of evidence, howling about the house not hearing from enough witnesses...

1. Called none

2. Will stand idly by as Trump’s natural tendency to abuse power now ratchets up exponentially.


Complicit liars, they are.
 
Letters to the editor from w-sj...


Unbelievable

While in the Air Force I lived throughout the U.S. and overseas. It was common for new coworkers to ask. “Where are you from?” I was always proud to answer, “North Carolina.”

I would be ashamed to say that now because of the cowardly way Sens. Richard Burr and Thom Tillis voted for no witnesses in President Trump’s impeachment trial. As I write this, they have given every indication they will vote to acquit.

They swore an oath to defend the Constitution. It did not say “defend the Republican Party and Donald Trump.” Apparently they are more concerned about their political futures than about a president who abuses the powers of his office and has set a precedent for foreign powers to influence (dictate?) who sits in the White House, and probably the House and Senate as well.

When Burr announced he would not seek reelection, I had hoped he would rise above the Republican muck and stand up for democracy. Were his votes tainted by hopes for a government appointment or a Republican-affiliated position in the private sector?

Experts have explained that the Senate process wasn’t a trial in the true judicial sense, and the rules of a standard criminal trial didn’t apply. Does double jeopardy not apply? If Democrats regain the Senate majority, can Trump be impeached again for abuse of power or other offenses?

What a blow to his mega-ego to have that double asterisk beside his name in the history books. Imagine the Twitter storm. Oooo-weee!

A sorry show

Your Jan. 29 editorial “Burr’s disappointing statement” was a well-reasoned examination of the Senate’s sorry show. Citizens expect and deserve more from “the world’s greatest deliberative body.” Its majority is in full flight from facts or evidence or fairness. The Journal rightly maintains that we expect and deserve a fair trial, not a kangaroo court.

Further, in North Carolina, we are ill-served by its sunshine senators who blithely, immediately, violated their sacred oaths as soon as they signed the Senate’s big book.

Some will remember Frank Capra’s films, in which principled individuals stood up against raw power: an idealist appointed to Congress finds thorough-going corruption but, by strength of character, manages reform. An utter impossibility today.

Remember when North Carolina’s Sen. Sam Ervin — certainly no liberal — stepped from the Senate’s dim recesses to defend our nation against the rot of Watergate. His commitment to the rule of law and his strength of character made us proud, reminding us what our nation was about.

The Journal’s editorial reminds us that we should demand character from our senators. Instead, we see them as part of a majority that turns its back on justice, evidence and basic fairness.

We North Carolinians have not seen any bright moments from Burr and Tillis representing us. One may be remembered for fidget-spinners and wearing no socks; the other not at all.

One more...

One is bad

If one party votes for the right thing and the other party votes against it, that doesn’t mean the process is partisan. It means one party is bad.

I know this is hard for some people to accept, especially older conservatives. But the Republican Party has changed. It doesn’t stand for anything conservative or moral; it only exists to give cover to its leader, no matter what norms of behavior or laws he breaks.

The impeachment wasn’t partisan — but the cover-up is.

We live in a banana republic now. And we're probably going to re-elect him.
 
I really don't have issue with Vindman being reassigned so long as he doesn't have a loss in rank. It's the perp walk from the building PLUS including his brother PLUS the disgusting "Lt Col" bullshit by the president that are appalling.

There was no way they were going to do it quietly, so you’re being ok with it means everything that came with it
 
Retributive.

Retaliatory.


For honorable service exposing the truth of Trump’s corrupt behavior.





But that’s all ok because in Trump’s mind it plays out differently.
 
Connor - Will it be possible to post more letters to the editor of the Winston-Salem Journal?
