    It's already done him harm, he's lost quite a bit of support. I just hope that if Trump beats impeachment it's not all forgotten come election time.

    OK lets unpack this a bit

    So you voted for someone that that said to a room full of many of such people that he was cutting taxes to make them richer.

    These wealthy interests are in many cases his supporters.

    And it seems weird that in the middle of the list you put in ‘big government’ what do you mean by that?

    In what way – I mean I’ve heard right wingers say this in relation to taxing wealth and for the widening of healthcare to help the disadvantaged – it’s a kind of catch all right wing statement, and often for things that help most people but can mean higher taxes for the richer.

    Who – I mean most US foreign aid especially military aid is tied to countries buy US goods and equipment so who are you talking about exactly?

    Over the last 20 years the major conflicts have resulted due to right wing policies often because of and through the right wing manipulation of popular sentiment.

    But I’m sorry that doesn’t actually shine through in your posts – I mean you seem unable to actually address the criticisms of your views instead you trying to imply that you could but are not going to because it would be a waste of time because of leftie/liberal bias

    That doesn’t work it just comes across as an excuse for not backing up your own bias and when pushed your comeback is… ‘I'm out’

    Thing is you are unreasonable while trying to claim you are reasonable – you go on about why you should be listened to - you are a military brat - a small a small business owner - you claim to be well travelled - and to have disputed with top brass and legislators

    You say ‘I have learned a lot over the years. I have seen a lot. I have changed my opinion on many things, and have come to agree with some of my liberal friends on some things’

    But when it actually come down to you defending you views form criticism you fold like a cheap suit

    Which would seem to place your boosts in a new light

    What does intrigue me is your assertion on a couple of occasions that you ‘have come to agree with some of my liberal friends on some things’

    What things?

    What ‘liberal’ ideas have you embraced?

    So your way of tackling the haves is to make them even richer?

    Your way of tackling the establishment is to bolster it?

    You think the way to tackle the power of big business is to give it what it wants?

    That the best way to tackle bent politicians is to vote for them?

    And you think the best way to bring about a better society is to stop fighting people like you that support all this corruption.

    LOL so you are not contesting the premise of the argument that many on the right seem drawn to simplistic viewpoints on issues and the leadership relies on people been wilfully ignorant enough to accept them.

    I mean as an example you could look at your own posts

    will they impeach him this time ?. not hardly, the 'rats do not have a shred of evidence. " I suppose " and "I heard from a friend", "we assumed" is not gonna cut it. all impeachment is going to do is hand the house over to the republicans, and expand their hold on the senate. so let them impeach, we'll all have a republican government, and...I hope when the barr/durham report comes out there will be some arrests. bring it, let the chips fall where they may. :)

    What's curious is you already stated this exact drivel in this thread before and it got adequately corrected (this is why it can be called drivel): there's undeniably more evidence than you like to pose there is.
    So your drivel got a great response explaining how what you're saying is wrong. You ignore all that (probably because it doesn't suit you and you can't counter it) and than state the same nonsense again some time later. Why??? You think people don't notice this shit or something?

    It looks like what is going to happen is there will be an impeachment in the house. The democrats have a majority there. This will likely give them the votes in favor.

    What I'm having a hard time with is the argument that this is a one-sided thing. It's like the republicans don't agree that the gist was a quid pro quo in the president's interactions with Ukraine, and that the evidence that others were involved suggests a larger operation to the same end.

    I suspect that we will never agree and that it doesn't really matter. The whole thing only serves as a blemish on the sleeve of Donald Trump. He will most likely still run for president in 2020. The whole "impeachment thing" in quotes will have been a big hoax and he will drive a wedge between his base and the rest of the country.

    You obviously haven't been watching the hearings, like the rest of the Trumpster's I know. Gobs of evidence, and there'd be more if the Orange One wasn't refusing to provide it--obstruction of evidence, another impeachable offense.

    And yet the Republicans keep stating that the Democrats don't have a case. Unbelievable.

    The 2020 Republican National Convention is in Charlotte, NC from August 24-27. If Trump is still in office and running for re-election I predict it will dwarf the 1968 Chicago Convention Riots.

    admissible .
    But Giuliani has said " they fell into the trap " .

    question in my mind is what are we going to say to each other if & when this impeachment happens? I think our difference should fall away like so much dead skin... good riddance.

    A meaningless gesture meant to feed into the us vs. them mentality. He gets to be the outsider who has no free speech which is huge to the right wing community. Everyone picks on them and trys to force communism on them. And oddly it's all rooted in "feelings" as the alt-right would say and according to them they have no place in logical adult discussions.

    You have a feeling that he's a good guy. You feel that he is like you. The facts say otherwise. It's odd to me since they ignore all of the realities of Trump and still harp on Obama and Hillary. Did they do things wrong? Yes but not like he has.

    A lot of fuss for a so called innocent man. You know what attorneys do when they have an easy case? They don't have outbursts in court they chill and let the facts show.

    Infowars host who called for Obama to be lynched thrown out of Trump impeachment hearing

    A host on the far-right US conspiracy and disinformation website InfoWars has been removed from the latest impeachment hearing by police, after interrupting House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler with pro-Donald Trump messages.


    The interruption came from a host on the fringe conservative website who led a racist call earlier this year for the lynching of Barack Obama, America's first African American president.


    The host was seen being led out by Capitol Police after the interruption on Monday, shortly after the start of the hearings in which politicians are to question the counsels hired by the House Intelligence Committee to spearhead questioning during earlier impeachment hearings.


    "Americans are sick of your impeachment scam! Trump is innocent!" said the protester, Owen Shroyer.


    Mr Shroyer had attracted attention to himself earlier this year with a racist call to lynch Mr Obama, whom he called "treasonous" during an interview with the far-right website Breitbart. He cited a conspiracy theory that has been pushed with no evidence by far-right actors as proof of the former president's alleged misdeeds.

    These are the guys who support Trump.
    This man actually called for our first black president to be lynched. Lynched!
    Let that sink in.
    He also pushed a conspiracy theory of Democrats running a child sex ring in the basement of a pizza parlor that didn't have a basement.
    The 9/11 attacks were carried out by the U.S. government.
    And the Sandy Hook massacre was fake.

    And...here's a good one...John Kerry orderrd an energy beam situated in Antarctica to split a Hawaii bound hurricane in two.

    I think we are facing a real question of how to put the crackpot fringe back in the sub-basement where such sediment belongs. They have always been with us but unfortunately we now have a President who isn’t intelligent enough to recognize Real ideas and instead embraces delusions.

    I honestly think some of them will become terrorists. So if they are dead they are not much of a threat. For that to happen they will kill others first sadly. The ones not stupid enough to get a Ar-15 will just keep up the soft silent hate. Trump's a cult hero now especially if the system takes him down. Like they never got over the 60's changes for women and blacks they will never get over this. Any of it is an attack on them as straight white men.

    The official govt report on Sandy Hook did not represent truth . This is only the concern of a few . I can not assume
    advocating for truth relates to power and influence . I don't know . Perhaps .
