PPO–I agree about lying being the default position. How could Barr stand in front of all those cameras, and blatantly lie, knowing that the Mueller report didn’t say what he said it did? Did he even read the damn thing? How can a so-called lawyer come to the “conclusions” he did?

We can and MUST beging “Russian interference” investigations NOW, and that started one hour after Barr’s press conference. Nadler requested Mueller’s appearance. Watergate did NOT begin as an impeachment hearing but a hearing into the origins and conduct of Watergate and its aftermath. OUT OF THAT came enough evidence on the record for the next step – impeachment. But that was with Dem control of BOTH houses. If we move directly into impeachment, the Senate will NOT convict, and he will be empowered, his popularity will strengthen, he will grow worse. Let’s have the hearing on the report and all its tentacles. That will do the job we need of eviscerating the SOB.

CL – The thing is, I don’t think that is Pelosi’s position. She has been adamant that she would not support impeachment if she doesn’t have 67 votes in The Senate. She is politically calculating on this as are many of the status quo Dems, they are afraid (wrongly) that Trump will get a Clinton0style boost if impeached. What I find kind of stupid is that they forget that Nixon didn’t get a bump. That’s because Clinton was impeached for lying about an affair which most Americans didn’t find serious while the economy was booming. To come to what I regard as a thoughtless “rule” that impeaching a president gives him a boost is symptomatic of Dem weakness and letting fear make decisions.

The thing about impeachment is that it is not a trial. It is only an investigation. It could result in The House not referring it to The Senate to pursue removal in the actual trial. Why do Dems need to have an investigation before an investigation?

Ad–I did see that about Romney, but don’t forget the first part of his statement: “good news that there was insufficient evidence” to charge Trump with conspiring with Russia during the 2016 election or obstructing justice. “The alternative would have taken us through a wrenching process with the potential for constitutional crisis,” he said. “The business of government can move on.” NO, the business of government can NOT move on until we remove the corrupt, criminal, lying bully heading this government. So, like all republicans, he condemns the lying bully, but not enough to stand up to him. Words mean nothing until he calls for the lying bully’s conviction.

These are two amazing minds and courageous men. I will follow their lead.
choicelady

an hour ago
CL – The point of impeachment is not having confidence that The Senate will vote to remove. It is having a public hearing that exposes Trump wholly as colluding with Russia, obstructing justice and stomping all over the rule of law. That is a very valuable tool in keeping Trump in check, as impeachment goes on, he will be afraid to do anything horrible. And a bigger amount of voters will see him as a sick maniac. So if The Senate doesn’t remove him, voters will suddenly forget all that was revealed in the House impeachment investigation? Nope.
AdLib an hour ago
CL–I agree with the Watergate type hearings, but “how he’s screwed the American people” is a feature for republicans, not a bug. They want to see the government screw the American people.

The republican electorate, at least the rabid lying bully supporters, don’t see the lying bully as screwing them, only the libs, and that’s their goal.

Impeachment is not about definitely convicting and removing a president. It is the Constitutional power Congress has and has the responsibility of exercising to keep a check on the president when high crimes or misdemeanors may have been committed.

CL – We’d still have Trump after impeachment but his last 2 years would be tied in a knot and he would be too busy trying to defend himself. Keeping so much worse damage from happening if he was left free.

Ad….our government was an ideal created by men who did not want to be Parliamentary like England and what we have, and have had for nearly all of our history, is a system that cements incompetents, liars, creeps, crooks and Trumps into a place from which they can not be extricated without a major seismic break.

I was driving through the mid part of CA today. Barely a farmworker to be seen. We are desperate here in CA because the WALL issue has cut access to farm labor by about 90%. He’s made such STUPID decisions. It has hurt everyone.

Don’t forget that Pence was prepping to run instead of Trump after the Access Hollywood tape came up. Pence is loyal….until he stabs you in the back He is evil.

Ad – the multiparty Parliamentary system is even worse. We can FIX ours. Not sure they can fix theirs. It’s exactly what got Hitler elevated.

Gee, maybe the CA farmers will have to offer Living Wages to attract workers. Now thats a radical thought, isn’t it?

CL – I think Trump has the confidence of his ignorance. He always feels he can lie his way out of everything and I’m not happy to say it but if Pelosi refuses to impeach him, he may be right for the time being (until he is out of office and hopefully indicted).

PPO – even a living wage wouldn’t attract basically urban homeless people. It stinks as a job, and immigrants are the only ones who WILL do it.

Choice….we disagree re. Parliamentary system….Germany pre WWII was an aberration because the system was so badly structured and allowed for an institutional coup….the parties were shells.

Murph – Definitely a major flaw in our system of government, that the hurdles are beyond leaping to remove a dangerous criminal from the WH.

Ad – Pelosi doesn’t HAVE to impeach him to rattle him to his core. Nadler and Schiff and Waters and all the others will eviscerate him. Lay his entrails out for all the ravens and vultures to pick over.

CL….I know a roofer in my town who has employed temporary workers from central america from early spring through early winter. He owns houses where they reside. pays well, has health care for them…..and now he cannot get them here. He is desperate.

Murph – I saw this again (Germany I think, could be wrong) where the Greens (not OUR stupid ones but theirs) had to make pacts w the far right to survive. It’s a dicey system.

CL – And what about the soybean farmers and such who have been crushed by Trump’s tarrifs? Farmers are being hammered by Trump yet embrace his hatred so much, they just blame Dems. And truckers have been slammed by the tax changes which take their expenses away from being deducted. And coal miners keep losing their jobs and are getting worse health care. Yet all the kneejerks keep embracing Trump.

CL…a longer discussion is needed for this but there are problems re. coalition government. Yes.

PPO – I think, given the “if it bleeds, it leads” mentality of our MSM, they’d FINALLY give space and time to the Dems on this.

CL – There are issues with parliamentary systems but they do allow for more control by a winning party than our system.

Ad – apparently the ‘support’ by the truckers et al. is waning. I think they’re seeing he has lied to them BIG TIME. It’s not as solid a base as it was.

CL – Where the truckers, farmers et al who are being devastated by Trump’s actions finally turn on him will be when the economy weakens. The last straw I think but no guarantee the economy will get bad enough by 2020.
