I think republicans should file for impeachment of Woodrow Wilson whose wife, in violation of the Constitution, ran the country while he recovered from a stroke. :judge:

I think that Republicans should file for impeachment of Woodrow Wilson because he was a racist totalitarian POS.

I wonder how many Americans understand just how profoundly their nation changed last November 3rd.
IMO it cannot be overstated.

They will kill two birds with one stone with this; one they vote to remove President Trump and they get 1/3 of the GOP Senate to walk. Why wouldn't they proceed?

It will damage the rest of the GOP in the Senate, and Bitch is good with that. 9999hair out0000

None that voted for Biden. They are about to find out. I think the older generation will take notice, but sadly the younger generation is delighted; all the politically correct brainwashing that they received in the public school system will become a reality.
For many it's not going to hit home until it affects their wallets and the limitations that they will soon encounter. Then maybe they'll understand.
IMHO it's too late.

Many are too stuckonstupid to understand that, much less anything else. Useful idiots is a vast understatement.

Rand said 1/3 of the Senate would walk ... not sure of of exactly what he meant. Will 1/3 vacate their seats permanently or will 1/3 walk out and refuse to vote?
I'm hoping that 1/3 vacate their seats. That's sends a much clearer message and one that should have been sent a long time ago.

It may not dawn on them until they mature and actually form a thought on their own (vs. the ones put there by the PC leftists).... and discover the harsh reality that many throughout history have discovered...that if their thought is not mainstream and accepted, they will be silenced, persecuted and maybe even "rounded up" for re-education. It won't be so funny when they're the ones being persecuted, of course. But it will, indeed, be way too late.

Murder Turtle is the perfect representation of the beltway slug who, out of personal greed, enabled this fascist takeover.

The Senate has no power to try a private citizen, even if that citizen was once President.

Meanwhile McConnell is asking for delaying the trial till February. Giving Trump time to prepare (gee isn't that considerate of him).

As for ruining the Senate -- DEMS Senators are filing complaints against Cruz and Hawley. I have no doubt the McConnell is encouraging the removal of Cruz. I think Cruz realizes that he had an obligation to investigate the corruption but I don't think he realizes just how badly they now want him out office and how deep the corruption truly is.

Preparing a defense just lends credibility to the farce. He should ignore it totally.

Good and hard.

theyve got to keep the legend of the orange boogieman alive as long as possible. Usually means you should watch what the other hand is doing.

Can we still impeach FDR for violating the Constitution?

Hell yeah, there's about 7 of them we need to dig up. With FDR first.

Charge: Daniel J. Trump Incited the January 6, 2021 Capitol event.
Exhibit A: Proof from WaPo and others that Capitol event was preplanned
Defense:Prosecutor, how do you incite a riot that was planned before the event, and you had no part in?
Prosecutor: Shut up and let the senate decide...

I have a $100 bill that says the SCOTUS won't see it that way. Another $50 says they won't even take the case.

I personally see no point in further discussion of anything that goes on in the now failed USA.
Failure to recognize that it is a failed state now is willful blindness as far as I'm concerned and I will not engage in any discussion that does not recognize the fact.

Prepare against what? Not a single piece of evidence has been submitted against President Trump. Not a single shred. Zip. Nada.

I personally don't think that to be true at all. WE have not survived eight years of Obama/Biden/Soros and the current situation bears true witness to that FACT!

Yes, we have. We're still alive and conversing openly on an internet forum. Nobody really knows what will happen. All we have is supposition on how bad things will get.

Yes. We are alive and conversing but that does not mean that the USA has survived. It definitely hasn't IMHO.

It has not changed much at all. You want to see change? When you see massive deregulation, and massive reductions in spending, massive reductions in size - and a balanced budget. Then you'll know actual change has come.
The government big enough to save you is big enough to force you - and it will. Every.single.time.
-
Trump should refuse to play their game and not even respond with any defense what-so-ever.

Impeachment is now more for the purpose of distracting the American people from the immediate devastation Biden quickly invoked upon taking over. Fuel prices quickly rising, thousands of high paying jobs of the XL pipeline instantly ending, Canadians heavily impacted, with democrats even before inauguration having thousands of south of the border foreigners headed here to take what jobs there are. No one can tell what is going to happen? How about the ignorant and ill informed, dupes and fools are clueless as to whats happening and about to!
A few elections back democrats swore to West Virginians they were not anti-Coal just before the election. After the election they shut down West Virginias coal industry. Same with Wisconsin over the XL pipeline.
You can't protect fools from consequences of their actions, they will have their way, often unto destruction, how they love it when the wicked lie to them.

All true, and the MSM will report what they want the liberal public to focus on and most of them will be none the wiser. You are right; the ignorant and ill informed are clueless and as long as the media keeps pushing Sloe Joe as doing a great job, they will believe it because that 's what they see on the news (for those that even watch the news).
You can't make stupid smart.

We're talking Chuck Schumer here.

Can we please start with a SC ruling on whether or not the impeachment clause --- the only way to remove a sitting President from office --- can be used against a private citizen??????????????????

Do you mean by the same SCOTUS which flagrantly failed to do its duty as required by the constitution on December 11, 2020? You've GOT to be kidding me!

If SCOTUS allows this, directly or indirectly, then I want every President --- past and present --- on this same hook. @Bigun

Want in one hand a crap in the other and see which one gets full first! Banana republics don't care what you want and the rules are just as the impeached and removed from office former federal judge and now a congressman from Florida Alcee Hastings said they were "We make them up as we go along"!

How about where we go from here while recognizing the FACT that the USA is just another banana republic on the face of the earth?

Or when an alternative form of freedom of speech has to come from the Russians.. (Parler). We are worse than a banana republic.... We are speeding in head strong like 1950 USSR.

Well, that's something that I've been saying and suggesting for quite awhile; even before the GA elections.
Where do we go from here? The ballot box is a joke and SCOTUS is a joke.
Even IF a new party is formed; IMHO it will never win. New government perhaps?? Conservatives purposefully filling liberals seats? Perhaps but that will take many election cycles and the ballot box is still obsolete.
How do we get ahead? Is it even possible? Who will lead that endeavor? The 75+ million voters that voted against Biden may seem like alot, but as I've mentioned a couple of times by the time you figure in all the DEM voters, + illegals + refugees granted asylum, there may not be a hopeful rainbow.
I think it is beyond time to put our collective thoughts together and start tossing around some workable ideas. I'm not interested in yammering back and forth about Biden. Sure we all need to vent; but venting isn't going to get us anywhere.
I had made a suggestion to designate a new category as such - certainly under Members only-- but even that possesses a risk. I think this is a great forum and don't want to see it shut down.

Bigun observed:
"I personally see no point in further discussion of anything that goes on in the now failed USA..."
The only proper response by the Senate Republicans to this kangaroo court would be to walk out of the chamber and refuse to participate in the impeachment trial of a private citizen.
Of course, they won't do this. The Republicans in the Senate not only will do the wrong thing, they will do the egregiously wrong thing.
But we all know that.
So... let me ask you a question, just hypothetical, of course:
If the Republicans in the Senate do indeed vote with the communists and "convict" Mr. Trump, would you consider changing your registration from "Republican" to... something else...?
I'm not asking you to name another party.
But... how else can a message be sent to the Republican party, that they might actually understand...?

@Fishrrman I currently have no party affiliation. After more than 40 years in the trenches with the Republican party, I left mid convention 2016 when the rules were changed to disenfranchise participants at the convention who did not share the views of the leadership.

Now remember, after two false impeachments and maybe a third false impeachment/lynching coming. Let us not forget four years as false testimony to destroy Trumps legitimate term in office. Biden engineered a phony election, and hid in a bunker until he won by hook and by crook, to now democrats want to preach at us about 'fair.' Best i can tell they are fishing for fools. :smokin:

His hidden manipulators did. I doubt ol' uncle joe knows much about what the plan even was.
All he knows is "where he is at the moment".
And that's only after he's been told...

Imagine for a moment you are the typical hard-working union member,working hard all day at figuring out how to get paid more for doing less while avoiding any actual work,and here is this SOB with the gall to rub his wealth in your faces while refusing to even receive HIS paycheck!

Biden was so jealous when he heard that Trump had a gol plated toilet that he demanded Gold Lame Depends.

Notice where the DemocRat's priorities are. Not in passing that Covid stimulus relief bill. Oh hell no. It's been three weeks and all they can focus on, still and now, is undoing everything Trump!

No worries ... they will have to assign several committees to do that and then several subcommittees. These things all take time you know. *****rollingeyes*****
