The Day After Trump's Impeachment "after thoughts" . WELL it was inevitable that Trump was heading on the road to impeachment from the first day he was elected in office . I REALLY believe that the Democrats were looking for a needle in the haystack to give them the fuel to attempt to remove Donald Trump from office . It’s not just WE KNOW THAT Trump is angry and looking for vindication. It’s the (1.1)>>63 million people who voted for him in the first place that want to see the Democrats take a stumble. BUT Trump is still confused. He will not outwit Nancy. Presently she has nothing to gain by turning the impeachment over to the Senate. She will, and should, take her time waiting for the most impact. She is aware the Republicans are ready to find him not guilty so what does she have to gain by giving them a chance to vote. At the very least, the closer the hearings are held to the GOP convention, or even the election, the better. As I have been writing on this subject for nearly two years that Trump is hated because of his policies , You pick the Trump outrage that's got liberals in a tizzy and I'll point to an equal and not-so-opposite they had no problem with when it was authored by a Democrat. Crazy as it is , Obama crafted the same policies that outraged the Republicans for Eight Years . Now under the Leadership of Nancy Pelosi the Democrats have taken sort of political revenge on the Republican party by going after Trump in various nefarious ways , most of all accusing him of being a (1.2)>>Russian Agent for Putin . ALSO , speaking about Trump I like to add that Trump is not the most "intelligent" US President in History. He is his own worst enemy . His recent actions on getting dirt on Biden "by asking the Ukrainian President " its a bit hawkish , it undermines real opposition research. (1.3 )>>It also reveals our nation's inapt foreign policy by selling weapons to another country so it could fight on cold war terms : Russia . I kidded around with some of my friends that Trump could have phoned me about dirt on Biden and his son , because if you look at the Internet there are nearly thousands of news items on Biden - Ukraine . Trump could have saved himself the phone call . NOW this impeachment is such a convoluted mess in regards to what our US constitution say, in what matter he broke the LAW . The Democrats assert that Trump " asked a foreign country to meddle in our election". Study those words . The Transcript make no mention of meddling. The other fact is that the Democratic side is twisting things , while at the same time siding with the Republican Party to Meddle in the Government of Ukraine with billions of dollars in arm sales , possibly building a (2)>>US military base in Ukraine. So you have it. The day after he was impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, he dismissed the judgment of the House of Representatives and punched back by celebrating with a Democratic congressman who switched parties to stand with him.“I don’t feel like I’m being impeached because it’s a hoax, it’s a setup,” Mr. Trump insisted as he showcased Representative Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey, the newly minted Republican, and lookedbeyond his seemingly certain acquittal in a Senate trial to next fall’s election.Trump, on the other hand, is Republican and crass and loud. He doesn't know what he's talking about and he doesn't care that everyone knows it. If Trump is removed from office, Mike Pence becomes president. So all of the folks who voted for a Republican president still end up with a Republican president. (3)>>It's not like Hillary Clinton suddenly becomes president. That would be a nullification of the election result. Now it appears the Pelosi is up to something , REMEMBER " GREEKS BARING GIFTS " ↔. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is refraining from transmitting the articles of impeachment to the Senate until (4)>>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) sets rules for the trial that are accepted by Senate Democrats. Pelosi’s move could push a trial centered on Trump’s conduct toward Ukraine further into an election year and deny him the swift acquittal he is seeking from the Republican-led Senate. The speaker on Friday invited Trump to deliver the State of the Union address Feb. 4, potentially during the trial. Trump accused Pelosi in a tweet of “looking for a Quid Pro Quo with the Senate" for refusing to send the articles of impeachment until Democrats accept the rules for a Senate trial.“Why aren’t we Impeaching her?” Trump asked. This isn't the first time Trump has suggested that Pelosi or other members of Congress be impeached. Speaker Pelosi understands that this is a political fight rather than a judicial trial. With Congress is leaving Washington for the holidays and the Senate wasn’t going to begin an impeachment trial until January anyway. Still, it leaves the anticipated next step of the impeachment saga — Trump’s Senate trial, which was expected to start (and end) in January — in at least some doubt. The fact that she’s not likely to win the trial makes winning the politics even more important.
NOTES AND COMMENTS:
(1.1)>>63 million people who voted for him in the first place .Trump is a master brand builder and self promoter reality star. He is also a chronic liar, cad,un-intelligent fraud and immoral con-man. He would not be president today without his TV star show "The Apprentice " that sealed his persona to many americans as a no-nonsense business man. He has a rock solid base of supporters at 35%-40% that absolutely nothing he could do to make them defect. Its not about a cult its about how he appeals to their basic needs of America " the greatest" and their love for authority figures and macho fighters. Face it Trump was born for this and politics is a street fight. He not going out so easy , hell keep punching right up to 2020 AD. (1)>>Russian Agent for Putin . There is, after thousands of articles and scores of hours of Congressional testimony, still not a smidgen of evidence (much less proof) that Russia influenced the election. Yet here you have Democrats -- the gang that's supposed to be into the Truth about climate change and science and all -- calling for impeachment. Why this bizarre conspiracy theory? Why not simply impeach him for being stupid? But I digress. Russia-bashing completely without cause, older readers will recall, is the traditional go-to of the right-wing. What are fine Rachel Maddow-watchers like you doing in an ugly hidey-hole like this?(1.2 )>>It also reveals our nation's inapt foreign policy by selling weapons to another country. Indeed it was Obama who did the damage. Trying to entice Ukraine into NATO and calling it "our ally" is insane. How would you like it if Putin referred to Canada as a "Russian ally"? Now Crimea is lost to Ukraine and bashing Putin is not enough of a pleasure to make up for the loss. The fact our government is selling weapons to Ukraine is vary troublesome . The United States should have been the "deal maker" between Russia and Ukraine instead of rushing to judgment that Putin is evil without just cause in 2014 . Obama meddled in Russian politics , siding with a "rebels" who overthrew a government that was elected by the Ukrainian people . The question of who is meddling where has to be brought open in the light.(2)>>US military base in Ukraine. Moscow has long complained that Washington is propping up a pro-Western government in Ukraine that launched the war in the east, where more than 6,000 people have been killed since last year.It also believes Ukraine’s campaign against the rebels is actually part of a broader Western plot aimed at undermining Russia. That’s despite Western allegations that Moscow is fueling the pro-Russian insurgency through weapons and even military support. The program, dubbed Operation Fearless Guardian, is also Washington’s way of signaling support for Ukraine while avoiding a full-on confrontation with Russia by providing offensive weapons. The White House has already promised Ukraine nonlethal military aid, like armored Humvees, surveillance dronesand first-aid kits, worth $75 million. Centered at the Ochakiv Naval Base and the military facility at Mykolaiv — 40 miles east of Odessa and less than 100 northwest of Crimea — the American-funded effort includes reinforcing and upgrading existing piers and adding a new floating dock, security fencing around the bases, ship repair facilities, and a pair of brand-new Maritime Operations Centers from which Ukrainian and NATO forces can direct exercises and coordinate activities.A majority of the effort is taking place at the Ochakiv, which has seen a series of visits from US Navy construction teams over the past few years. Again , many Americans are not even aware why this is causing serious tensions between Russia and the United States . (3)>>It's not like Hillary Clinton suddenly becomes president. For Mrs. Clinton, the defeat signaled an astonishing end to a political dynasty that has colored Democratic politics for a generation. Eight years after losing to President Obama in the Democratic primary — and 16 years after leaving the White House for the United States Senate, as President Bill Clinton exited office — she had seemed positioned to carry on two legacies: her husband’s and the president’s. She still has the nerve to insist that Trump is an “illegitimate president.”. Clinton wanted a rematch with Trump and assumed she was keeping her options open. She started a slush fund and tried to assume a leading voice of opposition during the 2018 midterms.All of which suggests that, should Hillary want to run again, she would have an impossibly steep climb. And the clock is speeding toward the moment when it will simply be too late to even try.(4)>>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell . At the heart of the tension is the Constitution’s only two grants of “sole power.” The House has exclusive authority to impeach the president. The Senate has exclusive authority to “try all impeachments.” Some legal scholars say the Senate can simply declare that the president has been impeached — citing the House’s approval of two articles charging Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress — and hold a trial without delay. Conversely, some Trump allies say perhaps the brouhaha about transferring articles means the president technically hasn’t been impeached yet; if he already is, the thinking goes, the Senate wouldn’t have to wait on the perfunctory transfer of articles from the House to begin a trial. A hitch in that argument is the Senate’s own 1,500-page manual of rules of procedure, which declare that an impeachment trial can’t begin until the House names “impeachment managers” to deliver the case to the Senate. Though the Senate has the power to change that process, so far there’s been no effort or energy to do so. The remaining Senate procedures on the books spell out the conduct of the Senate trial once it begins.
