The two articles of impeachment — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress — will be voted on separately after six hours of debate.
The decisions by House Democrats to bring impeachment to the floor comes after months of House investigations into Trump’s dealings with Ukraine.
The House is expected to convene at 9 a.m. EST.

GOP begins impeachment delay tactics with motion to adjourn
By Mike Lillis - 12/18/19 09:17 AM EST
House Republicans moved quickly Wednesday morning to demonstrate that they won't concede impeachment without a fight.
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) offered a motion to adjourn shortly after the chamber gaveled in at 9 a.m., just as the debate on the rule underlying the impeachment articles was set to begin.
"So we can stop wasting America's time on impeachment, I move that the House do now adjourn," Biggs said.

Big differences between Clinton impeachment and this one. Clinton at this point was publicly contrite and partisans supporting him mostly argued that what he did was wrong, just not impeachable. This president is on the attack and his partisans deny facts and any wrongdoing.
That's because he committed NO crime....

We can only hope that this personal vendetta the Democrats have against the American People and Trump for not electing their God Queen Hillary, is recognized as just that. The Dems have squandered years of time and millions upon millions of dollars doing nothing. The have done nothing in three years except fixate on persecuting President Trump. Nothing a single thing other than that. Countless hearings. Countless investigations. And in end they wound up with nothing at all.
So much wasted time. So much wasted money. Unbelievable.
This so called impeachment has nothing whatsoever to do with "Law" or the constitution. It is all a personal boondoggle by pissed off Liberals. Pissed off because they lost. How childish is that?
Best case scenario is, Trump comes out of this a Hero. And the Democrats look like the fools and clowns that they obviously are.

Nope. I think history will record all of this as a stain on the Democrats. Who have shown themselves to be petty and small and impeached a President purely and entirely out of nothing but spite. Dems hate the Constitution and they ignore the Rule of Law. They are setting America up to become a Socialist Dictatorship. And who knows? It may work? If a Democrat is elected President next year, that will mark the end of America as a Constitutional Republic. I am old enough that I will not have to live in the Communist State they will set up. But I feel sorry for what the youth of America will live through.

President Trump is right.
This circus has fundamentally changed the Office of the President forever.
According to the "new rules of impeachment" the Democrats have instituted, any President can be impeached at any time for any reason.
If Republicans control the House and the President is a Democrat, then impeach. Why not?
If Democrats control the House and the President is Republican, then impeach. Why not?
In a few years, the list of impeached Presidents will jump from 2 to 20 or more.
The Democrats have changed the intentional very high bar set for impeachment, to no bar or standard at all. Potentially, this could apply to any Judge or any politician. If you don't like the guy, and you have the votes, then impeach. Why not? It is possible this could wind up to be a good thing.
I MEAN HELL, LETs IMPEACH EVERYBODY! If the laws and rules no longer apply, and you don't even need a legitimate reason any more, then this will be the beginning of the wild wild west of impeachments.

The impeachment sham was never about the facts—it is just the culmination of the Democrats’ mission to overturn the 2016 election and steal the 2020 election.

The very idea of a constitutional order is under assault:

Ukraine was involved in the formation of the fake discredited Dossier, which was paid for by Hillary and the Democrats. Democrats cheated and got caught. Biden extorted Ukraine and got caught. Hunter Biden massively enriched himself and got caught.
Trump has not been "caught" doing anything with Ukraine. Opinions and rumors, do not constitute 'getting caught'.

Are we supposed to not comment on the fact that Democrats openly stated that they’re impeaching Trump to stop him from winning the next election?
-
There is a very large percentage of uninformed Liberals who will be popping corks tonight. Because they believe that if the impeachment vote wins, that means Trump will go to prison and then Hillary will automatically become the President, as it should be.
The Dems did the same force it down their throat bullying with Obamacare. The day after it passed people all over the country showed up at doctors offices, pharmacies, and clinics, demanding to be served. They had been sold for a year by the Dems that Obamacare was "Free Healthcare". And they wanted and were demanding their 'Free Healthcare'!!
When they wake up tomorrow and Hillary is not the President, and we all know she won't be(in fact everything is exactly the same), the Democrats will be called liars by Dem constituents.
They have pushed 'impeachment' to the point of absurdity and have whipped their voters into a religious frenzy as if it is some kind of profound necessary event to install Hillary. When in reality it is simply a procedural process which in this case will do absolutely nothing. At least a percentage of Dem voters will just give up on politics altogether having been lied to by them twice in a row.
First Hillary was going to win with 90% of the vote, and now with the idea that "IMPEACHMENT!" was somehow going to change the entire political system in America. Dem voters are tired of being played like fools. And they are sick of all the Democrat false promises. Even stupid Liberals can't be made fools of indefinitely.
After all, according to Liberals it is supposed to be 85 degrees outside right now with no snow.
This will wind up in college courses as a classic case of overselling using exaggerated expectations which cannot possibly be met.

#Trump blocked his aides from testifying and refused to release a single document. He stonewalled, #MsCheney. He has called upon foreign nations to interfere in our elections repeatedly and in public. He should have been removed with the words,â€Russia, if you’re listening!â€

There is a very large percentage of uninformed Liberals who will be popping corks tonight. Because they believe that if the impeachment vote wins, that means Trump will go to prison and then Hillary will automatically become the President, as it should be.
The Dems did the same force it down their throat bullying with Obamacare. The day after it passed people all over the country showed up at doctors offices, pharmacies, and clinics, demanding to be served. They had been sold for a year by the Dems that Obamacare was "Free Healthcare". And they wanted and were demanding their 'Free Healthcare'!!
When they wake up tomorrow and Hillary is not the President, and we all know she won't be(in fact everything is exactly the same), the Democrats will be called liars by Dem constituents.
They have pushed 'impeachment' to the point of absurdity and have whipped their voters into a religious frenzy as if it is some kind of profound necessary event to install Hillary. When in reality it is simply a procedural process which in this case will do absolutely nothing. At least a percentage of Dem voters will just give up on politics altogether having been lied to by them twice in a row.
First Hillary was going to win with 90% of the vote, and now with the idea that "IMPEACHMENT!" was somehow going to change the entire political system in America. Dem voters are tired of being played like fools. And they are sick of all the Democrat false promises. Even stupid Liberals can't be made fools of indefinitely.
After all, according to Liberals it is supposed to be 85 degrees outside right now with no snow.
This will wind up in college courses as a classic case of overselling using exaggerated expectations which cannot possibly be met.
All of what you state is true, my concern however, is how the DEMS may spin this. Perhaps they will begin to say that the parameters laid out in the Constitution for impeachment need to be changed, and they need to make new rules, or that the Senate should vote to impeach him, but because he's a Republican president, the Senate is going to allow him to get away with his crimes.
IF the Senate does not vote to remove him from office, I anticipate that there will be rioting in the streets and if they do vote to remove him from office, I think that his supporters may rise up.
Either way this goes, it will not be good for the country; all courtesy of the bat crap crazy leftists. God help this Republic!

No, not January. The Dem strategy is to keep impeachment on the airwaves as long as they possibly can. Since we know they care nothing for Rule or Law or even basic civil behavior, Pelosi may try to sit on impeachment until election day next year. I'm not sure if that is legal, but that is what the Democrats will try to do. They want to keep Trump tied up so that he cannot work and to keep Republican voters distracted with impeachment for as long as they possibly can.

The DEMS can stall, but the DEM voting base is waiting for them to vote on impeachment -- they've basically held the hearings, all this back and forth today was nothing more than a horse and pony show.
They will probably vote in January and may push it out till mid or end of January then it goes to the Senate. Perhaps this is why McConnell and Graham have stated that they want to push this through as quickly as possible and take a vote.

Flashback to a year ago.
New House Democrat Rashida Tlaib: 'We're gonna impeach the motherf****r'
By Veronica Stracqualursi, CNN | Updated 4:03 PM ET, Fri January 4, 2019
Washington (CNN)Hours after she was sworn in to Congress, Michigan Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib used an expletive Thursday in pushing for impeaching President Donald Trump.
Speaking to a crowd at an event sponsored by the progressive group MoveOn, Tlaib recalled the moment she won her election in November.
"And when your son looks at you and says, 'Mama look, you won. Bullies don't win,' and I said, 'Baby, they don't,' because we're gonna go in there and we're going to impeach the motherf****r," Tlaib said Thursday, speaking of Trump, according to a video posted on Twitter by Nestor Ruiz, an activist with United We Dream.

He's right. The thing he does not want to talk about is the huge percentage of fraudulent votes went to Hillary. If we had a real enforced VoterID system in America, like most other counties in the world, that 65 million would quickly shrink to less than 50 million. Ask Hoyer why he is so fanatically opposed to Voter ID? We already know the answer.

Are they "lies," or does his opinion just differ? I've seen websites with claims of Trump lies all compiled for me, and I just see people who see things differently, then calling opposing views "lies." Like the word "hate," the word "liar" gets bandied about to the point of being ridiculous.

To be clear @Victoria33 I have never accused you of hating anyone.
My concern is your obvious disapproval of this President for what I can determine as unfounded based on opinion rather than a valid reason. We are talking impeachment; not based on opinion. I find it troubling that even with the DEMS spending years conducting a witch hunt of supposed Russian collusion they found nothing and these same people are conducting an impeachment based on a witness that has never come forward, and hearsay. I find it difficult to believe that someone with your intelligence and credentials cannot see past your per-conceived prognosis that has been made without even interviewing the man face to face for five minutes, in order to consider or weigh out what the left is doing.
What impeachable offense is Trump guilty of? I'm talking a valid impeachable offense, not an opinion of character, not hearsay, not circumstantial evidence, but actual proof that he committed an impeachable offense.
It is typical of the left to point fingers and accuse when they themselves are guilty; this is exactly what is happening yet again; Biden 'cut' a deal with the Ukraine, yet the RINO's and DEMS accuse this President. He was 'guilty' before he was even sworn into office.

If you want to know how we evaluate Trump's behavior, read "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump", by 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts. I evaluated human behavior for over 20 years. If I see the same behavior over and over and over, I know how to evaluate that, just as these did in the book. We evaluate his behavior as a human being, not as the president. When people say we hate Trump, they don't understand we are evaluating behavior that fits in certain categories. His behavior is out there every day - we see it over and over for years and know what it tells us.

If you want to know how we evaluate Trump's behavior, read "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump", by 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts. I evaluated human behavior for over 20 years. If I see the same behavior over and over and over, I know how to evaluate that, just as these did in the book. We evaluate his behavior as a human being, not as the president. When people say we hate Trump, they don't understand we are evaluating behavior that fits in certain categories. His behavior is out there every day - we see it over and over for years and know what it tells us.

Ok, so his behavior then, is an impeachable offense?? Is his behavior 'guilty' of high crimes and misdemeanors? The Constitution clearly defines the parameters of impeachment.
Out of curiosity are there any past presidents of the U.S. that you would evaluate as dangerous?

The contrast between President @realDonaldTrump
and crazed Dems couldn’t be more clear.
President Trump is in Michigan rallying thousands of patriots.
Democrats in D.C. completed their impeachment sham and voted against 63 million Americans.

Democrats do not now and never have before understood 'unintended consequences'.
As ye sow, so shall ye reap. The Democrats have obliterated the impeachment process.
Impeachment has now become a political tool of revenge instead of a tool of oversight and justice.
I can only guess that they do not believe there will ever be a Dem President and a Pub Congress ever again.
If it does happen, we'll just impeach him. For any reason or even for no reason at all.
Does this precedent apply to State Governments and Judges? Can we start impeaching anyone we don't like?
All across the country? I don't see why not. Federal Law frequently supersedes State Law.
There could be a titlewave of impeachments across the country from the East Coast to the West Coast.
Impeach them all, and let God sort it out.

Please understand, I don't consider myself a Trump supporter and feel that I have been vocal with my disapproval on several issues, including his character. But his character should NOT be what is on trial here. That's like saying that someone is guilty of robbing a bank because you don't like how they acted. You have no proof that they robbed the bank, only a statement from a witness who said that they saw him rob a bank with no further actual proof and people who say that they heard that he robbed the bank....oh...and according to psychiatrists his 'character' is dangerous therefore he is guilty of robbing the bank.

This is impeachment, a legal term with specific reasons which consummate the process.
Behavior does not come close to being an impeachable offense, so go complain about behavior on another board.

I say: No, his behavior is not an impeachable offense, but I do think he should be removed by utilizing the 25th Amendment.
We were discussing why I think he should not be president and I said his behavior tells me and other mental health workers, he should not be president. I thought you would like to know how we evaluate behavior and suggested that book will tell you. Perhaps we are done discussing this. I can tell you by PM how to get the book if you want it.

Ok. His behavior is not an impeachable offense and on that we agree. Utilizing the 25th Amendment? Again, a group of people getting together judging whether or not he should be President (I'm assuming that's what you meant) and then removing him from office because they don't like him. Again, he has committed no crime.
It's bad enough that we have a Congress that has impeached a President because their candidate didn't win, and now you think it's ok to remove someone from office based on an assessment of watching their behavior?
Wow. I have no more words.

Nope, Nolo Contendere can be pled for a variety of reasons, including avoiding the expense of trial, dragging people you love through the mud, and avoiding scandal that will reach beyond the issue at hand. While the no contest plea has the same effects for sentencing, it is not an admission of guilt.

Don't know if you guys have heard this yet.
There is discussion buzz on the News Channels that Pelosi, Schiff, and Schumer, want to 'reopen' the impeachment investigation, call more fake witnesses, and add more charges. I guess they didn't get the result in the polls that they thought they would get, so they want to keep the investigation open indefinitely until Trump is swinging from a tree. I'm not sure if this is legal or not, but just on the face of it that well out outside of any legal standard of jurisprudence.
If your defendant is found innocent, you can't keep piling on charge after charge until he is eventually found guilty. At least that I know. This is why the Dems do not want to hand over the articles for trial. They want to try again.
Also, at least some on the Left are saying if the articles are sent to the Senate, and Trump is not removed from office, then they will simply open another new impeachment investigation and try again. The same applies if he re-elected. If Trump wins the next election, the Dems are promising another fake impeachment circus the day after the results are finalized.
So the fact that they lost this impeachment attempt is only a setback. They are going to do it over and over until they get the result they want, regardless of Law. They don't care if Trump is guilty or innocent. They will keep this up every few months if they have to.
That is why it is so critical for Republicans to retake the House this next election. It is the only way to shut down this impeachment fever which is paralyzing actual governance and important legislation.

Yep. I think is going to catch on all over America in all kinds of situations, politicians, and judges.
The greatest irony in history would be if Pelosi and Schumer get impeached by the very impeachment wildfire they started.
It could grow out of control well past anything about Trump.
The Democrats have set the precedent that impeachment does not require a crime, or facts, or evidence, or even a real reason.
It can be based on an opinion such as, "Unfit to Serve."
If that is the case, then there is no politician in America more Unfit to Serve than Pelosi herself.
She is obviously a doddering, stuttering, forgetful old senile woman with clear diagnosable symptoms of dementia who does not know where she is most of the time.
-

That's exactly what they did and no one on the GOP side was able to stop them. It seems that is the trend. No one on the GOP side has the ability to stop them. Even when the GOP held the majority in both Houses, they were ineffective at stopping their agenda. Why is that?

Impeachment is based on the honor and integrity of the Congress. We know that Democrat spit on both of these concepts.
When it was written, it was considered to be a 'sort of emergency measure' only to be used in extreme situations as a last resort.
"Break Glass in Case of Fire" You would assume everybody knows what that means.
Therefore, the legal definition of justification for impeachment is written very loosely.
Because the definition is written so generally, it is difficult for Republicans to do anything about it.
The Democrats abused that loophole which has now opened it up to anything.
The founders thought Statesmen would be adults who behave with dignity and prudence.
They could never imagine the juvenile criminal modern Democrats which we are dealing with today.
The Democrats have taken impeachment from being judicial, to being political. Which was never the intent.
They have made impeachment easy, like a Sunday afternoon. So if you don't like somebody, as they say, impeach that mutherf**ker!
And it could be anybody, not just Trump.

Bingo. This is why it is so important to nationalize the Congressional elections. This isn't just about Trump. Both Republicans and patriotic independents need to be urged to vote as well for GOP members of Congress. The only way to punish the Democrats for their witch hunt is to flip the House and keep the Senate.
Trump is the most important figure who needs to emphasize this. He needs to temper his ego, and make clear that this is far more than just about him, but the future of the Presidency and the nation. Our vote for Congress may be more important than our vote for President. Nationalizing the Congressional elections over the issue of punishment for this extraconstitutional exercise can and must be issue numero uno.

You can relax. I don't vote for Democrats or Republicans.
Unfortunately, in my state there's only the "None of These Candidates" alternative vote so, too, if any third-party alternative looks less than viable, too, I'm denied the write-in vote, and I certainly could have thought of a more viable write-in in 2016 than either President Tweety or Hilarious Rodent Clinton.
You may remember me saying this back then, but it's fun to repeat now and then: Given the write-in vote, I'd have voted for Groucho Marx, on three very solid grounds:
1) He once said, "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it, and misapplying the wrong solutions." Which showed more political wisdom than anything ejaculated by just about any political candidate in 2016 and a lot of years pre- and post-.
2) Artemus Ward once said, "If we can't find a live man who amounts to anything, by all means let us have a first class corpse.
3) If the dead in Chicago (and a couple of other places) can still vote, the living can vote for the dead.

We are both old enough to recall a time when there still existed a fairly large body of sane and (sometimes) sober Democrats.
These were people who largely grew to maturity in the shadow of a Depression and a World War, whose life experiences were shaped and tempered by the harsh realities of a world that they had every reason to know would not bend to their will or be expected to satisfy their desires.
They were people who lived in modest communities, worked hard, often with their hands, raised families, paid their bills, went to church, and helped their neighbors. They loved their country and sometimes fought for it.
In short, they were absolutely nothing like today's Democrats.
Today's Democrats live either in urban slums or coastal palaces. If they work at all, it is rarely with their hands. Their families are frequently fragmented, either by cultural degradation, drugs or divorce. They don't serve in the military, and respect no higher power than their own momentary needs, and demand constantly and intently that the government serve them without delay.
More than anything else: they are too often filled with rage. They are angry at the government that refuses to serve their every desire, mad at others for being racists, sexists, bigots, and fools who don't share their cultural tastes and prejudices and therefore must be idiots, just as their news and social media sources tell them. And while even the poorest among them have abundant access to food, clothing and shelter and enjoy conveniences and resources that their grandparents could not have imagined, many of them are still perpetually aggrieved - especially the wealthy ones, who are often members of the cultural and political elite.
And that includes nearly all Democrats in Congress, whose focal point of anger is the 45th President of the United States.
For that reason, there was never any doubt that they were going to impeach him, as they have been planning to do ever since he was elected. All they required was a pretext, and so they have advanced one after another for so many months now.
And finally in truth, the flimsiness of the pretext did not much matter: it was never going to be a match for the intensity of their rage.

@andy58-in-nh in 1994 I ran as a Republican for a seat in the Texas legislature (first person to do so in this district since reconstruction) part of my campaign speeches was to always tell the audience that the people they were voting for as Democrats today would make their fathers and grandfathers roll over in their graves. It's much worse today! Every word you wrote above is true.
BTW: I picked up my parents and we went to the polls together to vote in 1994. All of us voted straight Republican tickets. Before the day was over, I was sure I was going to have to take both my parents to town to see the psychiatrist. Both were exact copies of the people you mentioned. Herbert Hoover hating, Franklin Roosevelt loving working, old school Democrats.

Just so you know, anyone who votes for any Democrat at any level of government is no friend of mine! And I mean that sincerely!
Unfortunately, my small circle-of-influence of close friends are 75% rabid Democrats...but they're all too stubborn and narrow-minded.
After 24/7/365 for FOUR F**KING YEARS and counting, of 97% negative media coverage, I'm the 'insane' one...for even SUGGESTING that he is innocent.

@DCPatriot you sir need a new circle of friends!

As you know, I wrote this on another thread but I will repeat it here:
The left doesn't care about the harm they inflict (on individuals or the Country) as long as they gain power. That is so painfully and incredibly obvious.
Look, their near-term goal is to delegitimize Trump - as President and now especially as a candidate. The MSM will breathlessly do their bidding with the messaging and the Useful Idiots will buy it completely. Never before has it been so important to support Republicans with campaign support and $$$. And this is no time, in my view, to be parsing the Conservative vs. Republican argument. I know not all Republicans are Conservative, but in this arena all Conservatives are Republican.
I will never, ever vote for anyone but a Republican.

Yes @Lando Lincoln, I replied to your other post.

We are both old enough to recall a time when there still existed a fairly large body of sane and (sometimes) sober Democrats.
These were people who largely grew to maturity in the shadow of a Depression and a World War, whose life experiences were shaped and tempered by the harsh realities of a world that they had every reason to know would not bend to their will or be expected to satisfy their desires.
They were people who lived in modest communities, worked hard, often with their hands, raised families, paid their bills, went to church, and helped their neighbors. They loved their country and sometimes fought for it.
In short, they were absolutely nothing like today's Democrats.
Today's Democrats live either in urban slums or coastal palaces. If they work at all, it is rarely with their hands. Their families are frequently fragmented, either by cultural degradation, drugs or divorce. They don't serve in the military, and respect no higher power than their own momentary needs, and demand constantly and intently that the government serve them without delay.
More than anything else: they are too often filled with rage. They are angry at the government that refuses to serve their every desire, mad at others for being racists, sexists, bigots, and fools who don't share their cultural tastes and prejudices and therefore must be idiots, just as their news and social media sources tell them. And while even the poorest among them have abundant access to food, clothing and shelter and enjoy conveniences and resources that their grandparents could not have imagined, many of them are still perpetually aggrieved - especially the wealthy ones, who are often members of the cultural and political elite.
And that includes nearly all Democrats in Congress, whose focal point of anger is the 45th President of the United States.
For that reason, there was never any doubt that they were going to impeach him, as they have been planning to do ever since he was elected. All they required was a pretext, and so they have advanced one after another for so many months now.

Nice analysis. So much truth.
Republicans will need to change their thinking about what motivates democrat voters and shift their outreach strategies to contend with today’s political and demographic realities if they truly want to be a majority party for the future. I think Trump’s team is leading the way for future republican gains.
But, again, nicely done @andy58-in-nh :beer:

A real keeper of a post Andy.

The reason today's democrats aren't like the democrats from before is that today's democrats are freaking COMMUNISTS.

At risk of stating the obvious, I feel the preponderance of liberal women has caused a lot of the current state.
Why do the women in Congress by and large appear to be almost exclusively liberal?
I am left with the inclination that a woman will not get my vote unless she is proven to indeed be conservative.
Tough, ladies, but enough is enough.

It is penis envy. If ya ain't got one you should act like you do.
