Forums - Politics Discussion - Official Thread: The Impeachment of President Donald Trump

Jumpin on 19 December 2019

Apparently, there are Republicans threatening terrorist action because of the impeachment.

You're catching these guys on video, and not arresting them?



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Why do you (And most republicans) have to be so disingenuous about all this? Stop trying to twist and contort the narrative so that the world is simply hating Trump becuase we hate Trump. This isn't a witch hunt, it's not a hoax, it's not fake news, the man has been an abolute shit-disturber since day one. we're not looking for an excuse to boot him due to partisan bias, we're not trying to twist the narrative so that we can excuse our hate...

...we hate him BECAUSE of all the things he does, the lies he tells, the complete lack of qualifications he has, and the petulant, childish behaviour he exists. Nobody's out to get him becuase the meanie republican got elected, we hate him becuase he's an abhorrent human being who has no place being in a position of power. He did all of this to himself by being racist, bigoted, ignorant, and childish. He's being treated appropriately to his behaviour. He's acting like a child, so he's being punished accordingly. 

If anything Democracy is working at its best, becuase the moronic masses the voted him in had their voice heard, and now the rest of us collectively agree he's an absolute shithead and needs to go for all sorts of issues. This is just the tipping point to a campaign of petulance and disgusting behaviour. Frankly, the only reason he wasn't impeached 6 months into his term was because of the partisanship of the republican party and his shitty followers inexplicably supporting his fascist behaviour and rampant xenophobia. The only reason he got voted for in the first place and wasn't kicked to the curb soon thereafter is because there's a gross number of very terrible people in America supporting his bigotry as the last gasp of old racist white men. 

My only concern is what's gonna happen if he does get impeached. Who knows what equally terrifying leader we'll have. Because, for as idiotic and childish as Trump is, at least he doesn't wanna 'hang em all' when it comes to gay people. 

I'm Canadian. I have no agenda here, just stating my point of view. How did you get 4 likes without even reading my original post which mentioned that?

You hate him, but you are not the democratic majority. That's my point.

Keep in mind, the hatred that is shared on all camps of political divide is what created Trump in the first place. If radical left-wing citizens didn't so alienate republicans like you're doing with me (I'm not even a republican for crying out loud), none of this would've happened. You are responsible for your own reality.

Here is my reply in the thread I got... redirected to (ugh): http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=9087382

@bolded Trump lost the popular vote in 2016. More Americans voted against him, than those that voted for him. Republicans lost control of the House in 2018. People that hate (or at least voted against him) have been the majority from before November 2016 up until now. He has never had, and will never have the popular majority support of the American people.

People really need to stop with the whataboutism. What other Presidents did might matter in the larger picture but it doesn't matter with regards to Trump's impeachment. Is Trump's misuse of authority gross enough that he should be considered untrustworthy and removed from office? That should be judged as its own thing.

Personally, in the court of public opinion, I think it's the pattern of abuse that's really troubling, but for a trial, only the charges filed should be considered.

Robert Loudermilk's comments regarding Jesus and Trump have to be the most cringe thing I've ever seen. A sample of the type of mental gymnastics it takes to support Trump.

A lot of effort for something that will simply be rejected once it hits the Senate. Unless someone can actually show evidence of 'High Crimes and Misdemeanors'. Then maybe some Republicans will actually have a reason to impeach.

Even if such evidence would be shown, the rebublicans would still let it slip.

Funny enough that an impeached president can even get re-elected.

If I'm reading you right, Presidents should be removed from office once they lose popularity (let's say, what 2 years)? That's not how your system works.

My main point to Runa is that Trump would not even exit if there was more unity in your country and republicans did not feel like they needed someone to save them from the other extreme (extreme left) and the media brainwash.

The two sides need to work more closely together in general, people, politicians, media.

That is my issue with all this, the impeachment (as much as Trump's election in the first place) shows a lack of Unity in general in the US and just a lack of meaning in general.

In that sense, this is all bad news.

@Bolded. No, I was merely pointing out that the majority of Americans never wanted him in office to begin with, and they still don't. He lost the popular vote by well over 2 million votes. When another large national election happened in 2018 his party lost control of the house (the portion of Congress that is based on state population).

Or to put it another way: People who want Trump out of office have indeed been the Democratic Majority the entire time, contrary to your post. 

You said "You hate him, but you are not the democratic majority. That's my point." 

I'm telling you that, that statement is flat out wrong.

So only people who openly admit to being racist can be considered racist? Shaking hands with a black person disqualifies one from being racist?

Given that the corporate media has made open comparisons between Trump and Hitler and his supporters to Nazi's then yes, you should be able to see clear evidence of hatred towards those with different skin colors.  If you cannot, then this should lead you to seriously question the honesty of the corporate media and whether you should trust anything it tells you in the future including the details of this impeachment.

Hitler/Nazi comparisons are over the top but I'm pretty sure a user just gave sources of the racist/discriminatory things he has done.

There is already ample evidence of impeachable conduct. Republicans just don't care.
