Replace ‘senate republicans’ with ‘politicians’. Regardless of party, the answer is no.
IndigoSlam
You can’t the senates full of useless, gutless, power hungry morons calling themselves republicans
SuperIncoherentRantingMan
So no one is currently investigating Trump for impeachment? It seems like the democrats are, which would make your comment false.
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
So you have literally no idea what’s going on right now, is what you’re saying?
twozerooz
This is the next step for Republicans to continue denying they are to blame: blame ALL politicans
OtterlyMagnificent
They will. They will look at the sheer lack of solid evidence, and the existing proof that impeaching a president hurts the country as a1/
OtterlyMagnificent
whole. And they will vote to give Trump the rest of his term. He'll have to earn the next term for sure. But the Democrats are making that2/
OtterlyMagnificent
very easy for him. 3/3

OPE.

I didn't think it was possible to drink so much koolaid
OtterlyMagnificent
Clearly it is. You've been drinking enough of it.
Nostradamuswaswrong
Eh, don't bother, they'll mute you and say you insulted them despite being unable to point to anything insulting.
gtmiller
The President literally admitted to it. And gave damning evidence of his own free will.
OtterlyMagnificent
Where? Show me WHERE Trump said, explicitly, that he threatened Ukraine if they didn't investigate Biden's son? (Because all I'm seeing1/
OtterlyMagnificent
from him is saying 'I Wanted NOTHING from Ukraine. Again, Nothing.')2/2

AFTER HE WAS ALREADY UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR IT!!!!!!!!
dontrike
You're going to take the words of a conman and his sharpie written note? Fuck you're smart.
Koravel34
Yeah I don't see how Trump gets out of this, but then the GOP doesn't give a flying fuck. He could legit shoot someone on main street
landofbohemia862718
Fuck off!
Durgon8tr
He's not wrong.
Koravel34
and they'd figure out a way to explain it. The GOP is no longer a political party, its a cult. Trump is beyond reprimand from them. He can
Koravel34
do basically no wrong whatsoever. All they care about is stacking the courts with their conservative judges to try to hang onto power
Koravel34
as long as they can. Their days are numbered. 2020 is going to be a tsunami and its just going to get worse for the GOP. Remember what
Koravel34
Lindsey Graham said, back when he had a smidge of character and wasnt sucking Trump's dick non-stop? "If we nominate Donald Trump, it
Koravel34
will destroy us. And we will deserve it." Mr. Graham was right. The GOP is self-destructing. It's not a good thing for the US, because
Varmintmist
Probably because there has been no proof? Soudland testified that it was his presumption, not direction from the pres. Opinion isnt fact.
Koravel34
Literally all of them say they believed it was conditioned on it. Regardless of whether or not it was, he still committed a crime.
Koravel34
You cannot even ask a foreign nation for a thing of value related to a US election. Period. Even if they don't deliver anything, ASKING
Varmintmist
Wrong. As the head law enforcement office the Pres has the right and duty to ask.
Koravel34
You live in an alternate reality where facts do not exist. It is literally against the law: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/52/30121
Koravel34
Wrong. No one can legally ask a foreign nation for a thing of value related to a US election. I am literally quoting the law.
Koravel34
them is itself a crime. Trumpers wouldn't believe he did anything wrong if there was a videotape of him ordering someone to shake down
Varmintmist
And Dems will believe anything against him without evidence.
Koravel34
Ukraine. Flat out saying something criminal is not necessary to convict someone of doing something criminal. The evidence against Trump

They're busy making fun of Eric Swalwell for farting on camera.
luciferousthefallen0
They are busy doing nazi shit.
RyanH42
They're all whining about Star Wars and Charlie's Angels.
30Jonseredi
Seeing how without any particular political standpoint legit opposing criticism gets downvoted without even any real input, I'd shut up too
HerpestonMcDerping
They still express themselves with downvotes.
DuelingBrothers
Right wing, left wing, it doesn't matter. Stupid people, you're not a bird so stop pretending you have wings.
SnugglesaurusRex
Being completely wrong about everything has never gotten in their way in the past.
AntennaDibb
right now they're just doubling down on "Trump didn't literally say he was going to commit bribery and even if he did it didnt work!"
Cheomesh
Takes time to write the new monologues and push out the patch, I suppose.
TwoThumbsInABum
Didn’t know we had one
ihaveapunningclan
He's over there.

They're molting.
PickleMeElmoooo
What meeting did Trump tell him this? He has been a victim of witnessed intimidation by the Oregon Dem congressman to omit
PickleMeElmoooo
The statement "I don't want quid pro quo" from Trump's conversation

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sZYCiXshjxk
PickleMeElmoooo
Explain this
PickleMeElmoooo
Downvoting video evidence. Epitome of prog hypocrisy. You guys are a complete disgrace just like this bogus time waste
PickleMeElmoooo
The dude running this shit show won't allow reps to ask questions without him approving the questions
PickleMeElmoooo
It's ironic and hypocritical the posts on here complaining about conservative downvotes when that is exactly what you progs are doing
purpleBoner
Where you at you deplorables?
purpleBoner
4 deplorables so far
henryholtcamp5772
And that's why we have this guy as potus, please polarize us more.
Cheomesh
Not their fault you took it upon yourself to be so sensitive.
Koravel34
"You called me a name, let me vote a lawbreaker back into office again. That'll show you!" Grow up. Do what's right for the country.
henryholtcamp5772
I didn't vote for him. I'm just tired of one side acting like they are better. Both sides are horrible. I want a centrist.
CaldariBob
But... her emails!
kakize
Go take a look at the foxnews comment threads. It's disgusting. They are working overtime to try to create a narrative among their base.
Cheomesh
Some real psychos there, I've seen. Or rather, Internet Tuff Guys.
stxtfr
I used to follow FoxNews & Breitbart on FB to understand the other side. FUCKING DEPRESSING. Racist, misogynistic, homophobic...the LIES!!
Scarfaceeightsix
Why? He stated it was his presumption. Not going anywhere. Go ahead and send it to the Senate and see how that goes.
MrDailyRager
And the Senate will get massacred in 2020; perfect lose lose situation
Scarfaceeightsix
We'll see. Trump's numbers are up. Impeachment is trending down in battleground states, and Trump is raising a lot of money.
Irishda
By up, of course we mean nowhere near 50%, and 70% of the country sees his actions as wrong at least
Koravel34
He is polling at historic lows, and impeachment is up across the board unless you are taking Rasmussen, which is known to biased about 8-9
Koravel34
percentage points to the right.
SuperIncoherentRantingMan
Just downvotes, they know they can't even deflect or insult this away today.
brockashsfrund
Not without getting downvoted to hell.
dafawkudoin
Not really. We’re just tired of trying to explain things to people who have their minds made up. Quid pro quo is the name of the game in 1/
everthustodeadbeats
Yet you continue...
dafawkudoin
Politics. We didn’t hold money back for investigating a political opponent, we held it back til we knew it was going to a govt that followed
dafawkudoin
Our interest. One of those interest being, not having us citizens, namely people in power, commuting their crimes overseas and acting cool
dafawkudoin
Back home. I like how the left is quite about Hillary’s dealings and now the Biden’s dealings in Ukraine, but if someone they don’t like
ItsGoTime
That is still bullshit, per testimony of the DOD official actually in charge of making that determination.
Cthulhuchooseyou
Exactly. Several "debates" with GOPers lately. When I want them to point to something expressly untrue about Trump, I'm met w/silence.
ChurlishSunshine
My boss today actually said "sounds like the democrats just lost their case" to me today.
SpiderDetective
SuperIncoherentRantingMan
Every time. They can't source their claims, they can't explain their stances, it's ridiculous.
twozerooz
8 of them downvotes you though, lol
SuperIncoherentRantingMan
Up to 16 now, and not a single one will respond, just downvote and cower.
johnytwodicks
I had a guy call me a retarded troll because I said his wiki image on climate change doesn’t beat NASA’s findings
FartyMcDumpstein
I had a similar one with a guy claiming volcanoes did more than humans. He even posted a source that disproved his own claim. Morons.
Cthulhuchooseyou
So many GOPers suddenly going silent or deleting comments.
Counterfit
I got muted for telling someone that saying mean things about the president *isnt* treason
Lysergian
How do you know you were muted? Can you look that shit up?
