The video is great, but it needs updatiing, by addingthe Russia-Spygate scandal.

And the obstruction of immigration reform

And Ukraine-gate.

This was an actual speech given during the campaign .... I do expect an updated version any day now.   happy77

Those were local races of 1/2 of the House positions.  Not exactly a consensus.

No, it isn't, and his framing it that way is a sign he suffers shallow thinking, that we should expect an Impeachment every time the House is held by the opposite party.   We don't have some sort of European Parliamentary system were a vote of No Confidence tosses out the Prime Minister.  The Founders hated the notion, while the modern-day smart people come into conservative forums spouting leftist talking points like that.

Bullshit! 

All thru the campaign, the media did their damnedest to create more @musiclady 's and @roamer_1 's, et al.

And don't tell us all of them voted....still taking the time to stand in line, etc., to vote 'down ticket'.   

They stayed home.

The media didn't create me, @DCPatriot ... I have been right where I am, all the way along. Your mistake is in assuming I am alone, or that media would have a damn thing to do with it. That's the thing about being a Principled Conservative - media never sways me, and never could.

It does equate with a lack of rational, strategic thinking and the presence of self-absorption.

Beginning to wonder what kind of childhood...what kind of life did they have to not be able to fully appreciate the essence of Donald J. Trump on the political scene today.

Oh, I understand his 'essence' perfectly @DCPatriot ... Except that in my more impolite world, it would be called flatulence...  :laugh:

@aligncare
I'm still trying to figure out which portion of this sentence I wrote escaped you: If indeed he has behaved impeachably, let it be so. If he hasn't, let it not be so.
(Emphasis added for clarity.)

As for Democrats versus Republicans or Republicans versus Democrats (or let's call them what the Wall Street Journal has long called them, Depublicans and Remocrats), whenever either of them held power they both tried disenfranchising each other's voters at various times. Let them kill each other for all I care.

BUMP that!

Many of us believe the left knows damn well Trump didn't do anything like what they've been accusing him of these past three years but are using nonstop accusations of scandal culminating with "impeachment" as nothing more than a means to drive down the president's approval rating and render his administration ineffective. A belief based upon facts at hand to date.

 

@skeeter

I can't remember which Dim congresscritter it was,but I do remember after Newt and the Republicans took over control of Congress again for the first time in something like 40 years,and Newt set about changing some rules and tightening down on illegal actions by individual congressmen,one Dim stood up on camera with his face flushed and his jowls trembling in shouted protest that "But....,but....,but,you can't DO that!". When Newt smiled and him and said "Why not,you did when the Democrats were in charge."

This caused more jowl-shaking and more red complection as he uttered in the wondering voice of a 12 year old,"Yes,but doesn't mean YOU can do it!"

Sadly,immediately after that lots of Dims resigned from the Dim Party and registered as Republicans,and the fools running the Republican Party welcomed them in with open arms and committee seats,while bragging about an even bigger majority.

The truth was all they changed was the letter behind their names. They became alleged Republicans because that was the easiest way to sabotage when the Republicans were trying to do.

I used to scream and throw stuff every time I saw or heard some fool bragging about how many Dims were becoming Republicans,and that was "proof we are winning".

Some people are just too damn stupid to come in out of the rain,and they are mostly career politicians that are so confused they actually think they are Republicans.

Ah the "Big Tent" republican party. I remember it well.

I also remember the pundits advising the GOP on how it had a responsibility, now that it was a big party, to change to accommodate these new voices.

I guess the bright side is the left no longer is sophisticated enough to be able to pull off even a crude deception like that anymore.

A belief based upon facts at hand to date.

What happens if absolutely nothing comes of ANY of it, the only result being the Trump administration was unable to  function as effectively as it might have but for all of the time he spent defending himself. Wouldn't that have been grossly unfair to his supporters?

When, not if, nothing comes from any of the rats' endless "investigations" = harassment..... another end result will be that they have tainted and stained his reputation and credibility enough that millions of voters just won't vote for him and will either sit out next year's election or vote for someone else for president.   That is indirect 'tampering with US elections' right there and as usual, the Democrats are guilty of what they accuse others of doing.

I said the media created many more of 'you'.  And, that despite what they claim, not all of them got off their asses and voted in 2016.

Let's not re-fight these olde wars, ad nauseam.   It's already been done to death... and right here on this forum, in fact.   Let's, instead, unite to defeat (the only way) the radical leftists/Democrats.   If they win next year, America loses everything Americans have ever fought and died for.  It's that critical.

Some people get on other people's nerves.  That is a normal part of being human.  When it becomes a problem for the forum, it needs to stop.

Both of you please put each other on ignore and respect those boundaries.  Do not respond to each other and do not talk about each other. 

Now, the mods and admins can get back to trying to resolve the forum-down problems that we have been experiencing recently and upgrading.  We are worn out from the efforts.  Thank you for understanding.

How so @roamer_1 ?

@Right_in_Virginia , you had said:

It does equate with a lack of rational, strategic thinking and the presence of self-absorption.

I find your entire movement to be exactly that, @Right_in_Virginia  - It is neither rational or strategic to decry the very principles that your movement purports to be founded upon... And nothing says 'self-absorption' like thinking to change that which has stood the test of time to suit your purposes.

You don't consider voting FOR the survival of America as a free nation "something"?

Wake the eff up and smell the reality.   The Democrats... ie the commies, our enemy within... are, as we speak, attempting a takeover coup of this nation.   How really dense and/or uninformed would you have to be to not know that?

No, I don't. I think it is a scare tactic and voting scared is always a mistake.

You mean the very same excuse used to scare republicans into eschewing conservatism every time, my entire life?

*YAWN*

EVERY election year is framed as 'The Most Important Election EVER!!!', and bony fingers and screeching voices point across the aisle.

BULLCRAP.

What stops liberalism IS CONSERVATISM. Period. Not Republican-ism.
Vote for that and REALLY stop it. Everything else is distraction and the licensing of otherwise.
