House to vote on impeachment
The Committee on Rules will meet on Wednesday, October 30, 2019 at 3:00 PM in H-313, The Capitol on the following measure:
H. Res. ___ — Directing certain committees to continue their ongoing investigations as part of the existing House of Representatives inquiry into whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of Representatives to exercise its Constitutional power to impeach Donald John Trump, President of the United States of America, and for other purposes. [Original Jurisdiction Markup] Created: Oct 28, 2019 So since the House is going to vote on the impeachment inquiry and start public hearings, the two things Trumplicans have been asking for, I assume they’ll stop carping about the unfairness and secrecy of this whole thing. Or will they now claim it's a public spectacle and an attempt to smear the President. Or will they start calling for interviews to be done behind closed doors? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BApHB0sngpw |
I understand it's not a vote to authorize impeachment it is a vote on a resolution asserting their right to conduct an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump,
seeing Republicans have made up new standards when it comes to impeachment |

senate democrats sent a letter to ukraine asking them to investigate Manafort and Trump, their political rivals, and they didn’t get impeached all kinds of evidence that Biden engaged in a quid pro quo with ukraine, which, in addition to possibly achieving legitimate policy goals, also possibly benefitted his druggie son tremendously. Biden didn’t get impeached. So who has different standards for what’s impeachable. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

And if what Trump did was wrong, by what logic is it OK for a VP or a senator to do it. You are desperately trying to convince yourself of something you know isn't true, that was a laughable argument. Trump will get impeached in the house, nothing will happen in the Senate. Meanwhile the IG and Durham investigations will also come out, and it will get even uglier if that's possible. |

Quit with the stupid insults. I think you're better than that and you'll never be as big of a prick as your mentor SD. |

me to drop the insults. i have it all wrong? i’ll go slowly... (1)did obama, or did he not, ask a russian official to postpone missile talks until after his reelection, because in obama’s words, he’s have more flexibility to work with the Russians, after his last election, therefore after he was answerable? (2) did three democrats in the us senate ask ukraine to investigate their political opponents, or did they not? (3) did biden, or did he not, brag about withholding ukrainian aid if they didn’t fire a prosecutor, at a time when his son had a lucrative job for which his qualifications were questionable, at a ukrainian company known to be corrupt? all of that is wrong? no truth there? have you thought about where you’ll hide in 2020 if it doesn’t go your way? i’m not even a little bit of a prick. but i’ll call your crap when you lob it at me.

So, let’s break this down:
1. Trumplicans oppose the whistleblower because it wasn’t a first-hand account. NOW they oppose a first-hand account. 2. Trumplicans demanded a vote on impeachment inquiry. NOW they oppose the vote on the impeachment inquiry. They’re desperate. Just to put a cherry on top here, Graham was among the 1st to spearhead the idea that the whistleblower couldn’t be trusted cuz the account was hearsay. Now that someone on the call has come forward he says this is no different than Dems asking Ukraine to cooperate with Mueller. Just flailing aren’t they, like jumpers without chutes. The big question: “Is the Memorandum of Telecomm a complete and accurate record of the conversation?” Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
Oh no. 🙈

How many more Never Trumpers will be allowed to testify about a perfectly appropriate phone call when all anyone has to do is READ THE TRANSCRIPT! I knew people were listening in on the call (why would I say something inappropriate?), which was fine with me, but why so many?
8:47 AM · Oct 29, 2019·Twitter for iPhone Good idea, here's some quotes : Zelensky: we are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the US for defense purposes. DJT: I would like you to do us a favor though... DJT: Mr. Giuliani is a highly respected man...I would like him to call you... |

Gordon Sondland Desperately Tries to Unscrew Himself By Telling the Truth
EU Amb. Gordon Sondland now tells Congress that there was a quid pro quo involved with Ukraine after previously denying it, Wall Street Journal reports. The prospect of perjury charges seemed to concentrate his mind wonderfully. |
A growing number of Republicans are privately warning of increasing fears of a total wipeout in 2020: House, Senate, and White House.
But not Donnie, or is he just putting on a brave front? Nervous Nancy Pelosi is doing everything possible to destroy the Republican Party. Our Polls show that it is going to be just the opposite. The Do Nothing Dems will lose many seats in 2020. They have a Death Wish, led by a corrupt politician, Adam Schiff! |

about a wipeout? funny how you automatically assume their opinions are valid. One of the libs here started a thread recently, where Moody’s analytics firm, with a good record of predicting presidential races, says a trump reelection is likely. how do you know that nervous republicans are more credible? i think it’s you, not trump, who is putting on a brave face, desperately trying to convince yourself of something you don’t actually believe. if the economy holds and if he inks a good deal with china, and if the democrat candidate isn’t named Joe Biden, he’ll probably get re-elected. when you exist in a bubble, and you get all facts from sources that agree with you, and you never listen with an open mind to anything that anyone else has to say, it’s very easy to believe that everyone is exactly like you, and that the election will go your way.

I didn't say there was an illegal action. I said it's an example of Obama asking a foreign power for a favor which would help him get reelected (obviously,Obama didn't want the voters to know his intentions regarding Russian missiles until after his election was behind him). Does that sound familiar, sound like any part of why Trump is being impeached? If it's OK for Obama to ask for a favor which would benefit him politically, why can't Trump do it? "Obama was quoted the following day saying he wasn’t trying to “hide the ball,”" And if you're going to believe what Obama says in a prepared statement after he got caught on a hot mic and take his word for it, we can take Trump at his word. "The three senators sent this public letter https://www.foreign.senate.gov/imo/m...estigation.pdf asking the Ukrainian Prosecutor General to answer some questions regarding interference and cooperation with the ongoing Mueller investigation. " In other words, they asked a foreign power to assist/investigate in getting dirt on a political rival. Does that sound familiar, sound like any part of why Trump is being impeached? If it's OK for senate democrats to ask a foreign power to assist in the investigation of a political rival, why isn't it OK for Trump to do it? As to Biden, your response completely ignored the evidence that Biden's family, namely his son, personally benefitted from Biden's actions as VP. You dodged that issue completely. But if Biden can use the leverage of a quid pro quo to benefit his son, why can't Trump do the same to benefit himself? I'm not saying the prosecutor didn't deserve to be fired, I'm saying someone else should have pressured them to do it, someone whose son didn't have a lot at risk. None of this will matter. He's probably getting impeached in the house, obviously not convicted in they Senate, and the voters can decide if the impeachment was legit or a sham based on previous similar actions that were OK at the time, and which you defend today. Then the IG and Durham reports will come out, which you have already made up your mind are a sham, and which most conservatives have already made up their minds is legit. I go where facts and common sense take me. In this case, I can make a very compelling case that Trump is being held to a different standard than Obama, senate democrats, and Biden. I don't believe that because I want it to be true (that's what you and Spence do), I believe it because the facts suggest it's true. If Trump in fact committed an impeachable offense, I'd be happy to see him impeached, I like Pence a lot better. Nicer guy, more truly conservative. |

There are plenty of people in this administration that know the truth and it is starting to open up. Sondland is next, he will recant his testimony and I expect, admit that Trump told him to say there is no quid pro quo. This is not the Trump Organization, it's the US government and it is hard to hide the underhanded BS like Trump did for years in his business. There's a reason he was party to thousands of lawsuits, in fact if you google "party to thousands of lawsuits" guess who is number one. Things in Trumpland will crash fast, until weeks before his resignation Republicans stood firmly behind Nixon. |

You mean it's a violationwhen Trump did it, not when Obama did it. "I guess it would have been ok if instead of sending an official letter as members of Congress, they had asked Rudy to do it for them with the assistance of a couple hirelings of Russian Oligarchs " Huh? Now you're saying what Trump did was wrong, because he didn't use official letterhead to make the request? Sure, that makes sense...You're talking absolute gibberish now. "What evidence is there that Hunter Biden's hiring was in exchange for anything?" So there's nothing to see, that Hunter got a very lucrative job on the board of a ukranian energy company. And he got that job not because his father was the Executive branch's point person in Ukraine, but because he was the most qualified for that job., based on getting kicked out of the Navy for drug use. And all the stories that the prosecutor was getting ready to look at this energy company are unfounded. They must be unfounded, because if it was legitimate, it would hurt the Bidens. "Kelley told Trump that if he hired a yes-man, he would be impeached." I love General Kelly. "Things in Trumpland will crash fast" You say so. And let me take a wild guess. You predict that the IG report and Durhams report on the possible wrongdoings in the origins of the Russian probe, will be a nothingburger. The fact that Durham is a very accomplished prosecutor, and had this changed to a criminal probe, means nothing, that's just Trump being vindictive, it's not humanly possible that the Obama DOJ was acting as hired security for the Clinton campaign. You already know it's impossible, even though nothing in the investigations has been released. Do I have that right? |
