That Impeachment Thing....

Takes 2/3 of the senate to do that, like 67 votes. Do you actually think Moscow Mitch can get 14 dems to vote for that?

Only takes 4 republicans defecting to call witnesses in the senate trial. While its way more likely that 4 republicans will defect than 14 dems, I don't think that will happen either.

Paged!

It takes 51 votes now for a rules change, or did you forget "The Nuclear Option". It would also take 51 votes to dismiss it due to lack of prosecution as that's not a trial but an administrative ruling. Conviction in the Senate is the only part that takes 2/3rd majority. I forgive you for thinking otherwise though, you can't help yourselves but to taken whatever CNN says as gospel.

Senate push to dismiss impeachment

Little more than one and they are drawing it up now... and you complain about others not knowing what they are talking about?

Senators

Josh Hawley of Missouri
Rick Scott of Florida
Mike Braun of Indiana
Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee
Ted Cruz of Texas
Steve Daines of Montana
John Barrasso of Wyoming
Tom Cotton of Arkansas
Joni Ernst of Iowa
David Perdue of Georgia
Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma.

Yeah totally "one senators and dead already".

Hey it's the Liberal "Reality Distortion Bubble" we keep hearing about at work. CNN say's it's dead, so it must absolutely be dead. Reminds me of the popular Soviet saying "The future is known. It’s the past that keeps changing."

Yep it's being written now, will be proposed as a rule change, which will get approved. Then they will request a "motion to dismiss due to lack of prosecution", which is an administrative procedure that's common in law. This is a real thing, unlike everything that CNN pedals.

Example of a Motion to Dismiss for LoP from .. wait for it .... California! So they can't claim it's "biased alt-right"

Even if it picks up some support, it's long *** way from getting 51 votes lol. This is a fun fantasy to watch you guys salivate over though.

Yep totally an alt-right fantasy right...


Actual rules that a Judge can dismiss a case for failure to prosecute.

Honestly I don't think they'll get that far, once the rules pass the Senate, Peloski will submit her articles as the other two options, retracting them or having them dismissed, are even worse for her.

As the Senate is the Judge and Jury for impeachments, with oversight from the Chief Justice, there is plenty of strong legal arguments for this action, with absolutely no arguments against. All the current rules were written with the assumption that the House would immediately submit articles of impeachment after approval.

Uh yep, its a fantasy. No rules are even close to being passed in the Senate.

From Wonkette

The Nuclear Option Would like to say Hello

You really gotta read better ***than wonkette and HuffPo Chanti.

It the Liberal Reality Distortion Bubble, if they leave, then harsh reality would crush their hopes and dreams. I even stated the the Nuclear Option had become a thing now since. The Democrats started using it during Obama and the Republicans started using it afterward.

Constitutionally speaking it only requires a simple majority vote in both houses as well as the Presidents signature. The whole 60/67 thing was something each chamber made up as precedent to keep the peace and spirit of compromise between the parties.

This was completely shattered when liberals insisted on absolute reform their way or nothing else, and conservatives told them to *** off and that the Constitution exists. Liberals responded that the Constitution is just some papers written by old white men centuries ago and isn't relevant anymore. And thus the death match between the two parties began because there can be no compromise on such an issue. Either the Constitution is the absolute governing document of the United States of America or it's not and we need to form a new country named the United Peoples Democratic Republic. If the US Constitution is this fuzzy distant irrelevant document, then the USA does not exist.

The Preamble says it all.

HuffPo does not go into the depth on their articles that Wonkette does. They don't have richard jokes either.

I for one, welcome our new Impeachment overlords.

cats always know what's up. They just don't give a ***

So looks like Nancy Pelosi blinked and is gonna send the articles next week.

Democrats: 0
President trump: over 9000

THAT NUMBER IS A LIE! THERE ARENT THAT MANY REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS!!! REEEE!

Have a great weekend yall!

Intel Committee Releases Handwritten Note On Trump’s Ukraine Plans
The House panel got a “trove of documents” from Lev Parnas, an associate of Rudy Giuliani, showing Trump’s efforts to gain Ukraine’s help with the election.
HuffPo

They were the first I found that posted actual documents.

Chanti..... we have discussed this before about failed sources. This has Trumps name nowhere on it. The handwritten notes were what Lev Parnas hoped to gain. There is nothing written by Trump or Giuliani. This is some prime clickbait. Even buzzfeed doesn't mention Trump as in on this. House Democrats release new documents from indicted Giuliani associate. What do you think the chances are that this rando guy would keep scribbled notes on a hotel notepad to turn over to congress? Yeah ok "part of a deal."

I would offer the proposition that neither of our countries have a fully functioning democracy.

If it is so meaningless, why is the Right all up in arms and foaming at the mouth over it? It's a stain on a president's reputation that will never go away. Trump has joined the ranks of Jackson, Intern Clinton, and *almost* Watergate Nixon.


The democrats are following a precedent set by the GOP during the Clinton hearings. The only shame is with Trump, for withholding congressional approved aid to the Ukraine until he received dirt on a political opponent.

I would say both working as intended though, especially when compared to other so called Democracies....

So Nancy had a hearing and appointed the Impeachment Managers. No surprise in her choices.

Do you mean Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton?
