    Right many reasons indeed.
    She knows it will backfire w/ short proximity fuse, as it will not only blow up in her face, but may remove the face she is currently wearing.
    Her political career would be over and it would also send equal shock waves through the Democratic party.

    There is, but you are putting the exact opposite spin on what happened
    and WHY. It was done as an official policy of the US Government and our
    allies. It was not done for any individual's personal gain.


    That is a pack of bullshit! Joe Biden's son was involved in a company under investigation by a prosecutor who was rooting out the corruption
    of the company Hunter Biden was getting paid big money by. Joe Biden effectively shut that investigation down by threatening the Ukranian government with the withholding of a billion dollars in American aid if
    it did not fire the prosecutor handling the case.

    Joe Biden did not shut down any investigation of Burisma. The
    prosecutor that he had fired had already done that.

    Not even you are so stupid as to think there's nothing wrong there!

    And Joe Biden himself proved verbally, in that same incriminating statement he made ON camera, that Hussein Obama was just as guilty!

    Guilty of fighting corruption in Ukraine. Yes. But not of what you are saying. OTOH, the only corruption that Trump wanted investigated was
    the Russian false story that the interference in the 2016 election came
    from Ukraine and not from Russia. Putin told Trump that and Trump
    believed it. That and trying to resurrect the dead story of the Bidens.

    Plus....getting to the Senate would be a much different situation than
    in front of the democrat-controlled committees in the House; in the
    Senate it would be much like a courtroom trial. presided over by the
    Chief Justice.

    The democrat `house managers' would be the prosecutors, and Trump is entitled to a legal team who can cross examine democrat witnesses; call witnesses of their own; present their own evidence; etc.

    We can only hope that will happen. Anything short of that would be a
    sham.


    They do not have one single fact witness. Only hear-say witnesses, and
    a pack of academics who's best contribution was out-right Trump hate!

    There were numerous witnesses who testified in open hearings, including
    several who were there when the call was made. They are not hear-say witnesses. All of the fact based witnesses were career employees and
    testified to things based on their direct knowledge.

    Hello Greg,

    Pelosi is withholding the articles of impeachment from TR>the Senate for
    a number of good reasons of her own.

    Right many reasons indeed.

    "We cannot name manageers until we see what the process
    is on the Senate side." ~Speaker Pelosi, 12/18/2019, NYT

    See there? She is waiting on Moscow Mitch. Same as
    everybody else.

    She knows it will backfire w/ short proximity fuse, as it will not only blow
    up in her face, but may remove the face she is currently wearing.

    From the looks of things, she does not seem to be in a big
    rush to do anything at all. Except wait for Moscow Mitch to
    inform her what the process will be on the Senate side.

    Her political career would be over and it would also send equal shock waves
    through the Democratic party.

    You see how this works. Kind of like a giant game of chicken.
    Now, remember where she is from. That's right. The same place
    as Dirty Harry.

    Your hero thought she was bluffing when she pulled out her
    weapon of choice, daring her to "Make my day, punk!" So she
    pulled the trigger, showing him who was really boss.

    Moscow Mitch thinks he can save his beloved by refusing to play.
    But Speaker Pelosi has the guts to play hardball, upping the anté
    by telling him, in effect, "We'll be glad to send you the Articles
    of Impeachment. But we'd like you to do us a favor first."

    Now the ball is in his court. The longer he waits, the worse
    it will be for himself, his accomplices in the Senate, and his
    dearly beloved (the critter occupying the White House).

    I guess he forgot the Senate has no control over what the House
    does. And I am not sure the House has any control over what the
    Speaker does. In any event, if the Senate changes the rules to
    schedule a trial, they can have a trial whether or not the House
    presents the articles.

    Whether or not Speaker Pelosi wants the Senate to proceed without
    the House's involvement is a different matter. She may not care
    at all what Mitch McConnell and his cronies do or do not do. In
    fact, she does not *HAVE* to do anything just because the Senate
    says so.

    Speaker Pelosi has dropped a dead skunk in the lap of Moscow Mitch,
    and she is letting it sit there to rot, being in no hurry to rescue
    any of them.

    Speaker Pelosi is still Speaker. And the Democrats still control
    the House. The House can continue investigating, and passing
    additional articles of impeachment. Maybe two or three at a time,
    for each impeachment. That way, even if Moscow Mitch gets his
    beloved off on Impeachment #1, there will be Impeachment #2, and
    Impeachment #3, etc., until the voters make a change this November.

    She is not the one who is facing charges.

    and just like the Emperor who got thrown down the shaft, Nancy will take her

    the Presidential authority will see her fail and show the country

    The president has no control over anything the House does.
    Separation of powers, as outlined in the US Constitution, means
    your dear boy can do nothing, absolutely nothing, to intimidate
    Speaker Pelosi, or any other law-abiding member of Congress.

    Which goes to show you how weak Republicans are, never challenging

    The house is a joke, not allowing for any cross-examination from the Republican side, denying Due process at every turn, and you wanna talk what Trump did?

    The Republicans had ample opportunity to ask questions of the witnesses,
    both in the closed sessions and in the open sessions. That sounds like cross-examination to me -- why not to you? Also, due process was not
    denied in the hearings any more than a typical grand jury hearing, which
    is essentially what the House was doing.

    Our vision does not take planes from our skies.

    Where do you get the idea that anyone's vision includes that?

    It does not involve ridiculous Green New Deals.

    It should involve some measures to combat man-made contribution to
    climate change -- but it does not. That is to the detriment of the
    planet and future generations.

    It does not involve blaming America or apologizing throughout the
    world for our Nations interests that are vital to Our Security.

    But it does involve putting political favors above our national
    security.

    It does not involve removing or disarming citizens right to arms.

    It should involve removing weapons of mass distruction from civilian
    hands, but it does not seem to do even that.

    It does not involve socialism of any kind, look around throughout the world where this was tried it has ended in starvation and misery for
    it's people.

    That is a pretty broad statement. What do you think medicare and social security are if not a mild form of socialism?

    Article 1 was passed by a vote of 230-197.
    Article 2 was passed by a vote of 229-198.

    No Republicans voted against their lord and savior, Donald Trump.

    So ...

    What does it matter how many witnesses who testify in open hearings?
    Even if they had direct knowledge of what happened, or if they were
    eye witnesses? Facts do not matter when it comes to this bunch, who
    have clearly chosen to put party above country.

    The Republican party no longer exists as a political party. It
    has devolved into something else. Call it Trumpism or whatever else
    might come to mind. A cult of personality, with Trump at the helm
    for now. What comes next makes me shudder.

    Tossing out presidents sounds easy. Can we toss out US Reps who violate their oaths of office as well? How about state reps? We've got a lot of violations going on throughout the country, but nobody wants to pull their finger out of themselves and smell it; they just want to mindlessly bash the president because it's easy to get praise in doing so.

    How is impeaching President Trump going to help the country? Or - is it some other country that you want to see benefit from this?

    Yes, and the Republicans were there in force and could question the

    released.

    Does that jog your memory? In addition did you watch the
    hearings that Adam was

    Every member got their five minutes. If Schiff cut someone off it was
    because of their being out of time, or because they were attempting to
    violate established procedures, e.g. attempting to expose the
    whistleblower's identity in public. The Republicans had just as much
    time each as any of the Democrats had.

    Hello Aaron,

    Trump violated his oath of office, and deserves to be tossed out.

    Tossing out presidents sounds easy.

    It is. Just go to the polls, pull the lever, and it's done.
    Or in this modern age, punch the screen.

    Can we toss out US Reps who violate their oaths of office as well?

    Sure. Same procedure. Works wonders.

    How about state reps?

    Yep.

    We've got a lot of violations going on throughout the country, but nobody
    wants to pull their finger out of themselves and smell it; they just want
    to mindlessly bash the president because it's easy to get praise in doing
    so.

    Well, the president asked for it. Really. And I do not envy him.
    Not at all. He asked for the gig, and we gave it to him. So he has
    only himself to blame. Nobody else.

    How is impeaching President Trump going to help the country?

    It's show biz! Sure beats watching all those Big Pharma ads
    on cable television when trying to watch the news. All those
    committee hearings, with no commercial breaks, oh the wonder
    of it all! Just think of what the upcoming trial will be like!
    Commercial free! All day coverage! For an entire month!

    Or - is it some other country that you want to see benefit from this?

    We have to do this the American Way. That means not a show trial
    like they have in North Korea, Iran, or the former Soviet Union.

    Have the president himself take the stand as the main witness,
    in his own defense. No other witness would be needed. Just think
    of the ratings on that one. The president would be given a live
    microphone and be allowed to talk for as long as he wanted. The
    defense will then rest its case and the jury will render its
    verdict.

    It was not until Trump took office that a "zero tolerance" policy
    was enacted. We all know how that turned out.

    The United States is a sovereign nation and a country of laws.

    That used to be true. Once upon a time. But that is no longer true.

    Oh, that's right. He got caught in the act. As a result, he
    had to give Ukraine the funds that Congress had allocated, rather
    than make the deal with the Ukrainian president (to find dirt on
    a political opponent in exchange for those funds).

    he went and is going after Biden because at the time he was VP at the time.

    The phone call was in 2019, three years after Joe Biden had
    left office.

    There was and there is plenty of funny-business that went on with Biden with
    his management of Ukraine, while his son profited in the country of
    Ukraine.

    According to Ukraine, neither of the Bidens broke any Ukrainian laws.
    Since the matter was already investigated, by Ukraine, and there is no
    new evidence, everything is okey dokey.

    Now if President Trump wants to have his AG look into the matter,
    and have the FBI conduct its own investigation, and have the Senate
    subpoena Joe and Hunter Biden, along with whoever else they want,
    then have at it. They have the power. All the levers of power to
    do whatever the heck they want.

    So. Ball is in their court.

    I see your grasp of history is well rooted in the Soviet-style.

    Clinton was not impeached over a hummer. He was impeached over lying about it.
    That's ignoring the fact that such behavior would be a fireable offence in just about every company at the time.

    As I read over the Articles of Impeachment of Clinton, they basically can be summed up like this:
    He lied. Under oath.
    He tried to cover up the lies by doing various things.

    So, in effect, they tried to impeach Clinton for being a Democrat. It's no wonder why he wasn't convicted.

    I think Donald Trump has trashed far-left liberal values.

    Bernie Sanders did not vote for GWB's war on Iraq.
    He was also the first, if not the only, candidate running
    for president who is criticizing Trump for ordering a hit
    on an Iranian bad guy in Iraq, as he figures it could lead
    to a real shooting war between the US and Iran.

    Since Bernie is a Jew, I cannot call him a good Christian.
    But he certainly acts as a Christian should.

    There is, but you are putting the exact opposite spin on what happened DS>and WHY. It was done as an official policy of the US Government and our DS>allies. It was not done for any individual's personal gain.


    That is a pack of bullshit! Joe Biden's son was involved in a company
    under investigation by a prosecutor who was rooting out the corruption
    of the company Hunter Biden was getting paid big money by. Joe Biden effectively shut that investigation down by threatening the Ukranian government with the withholding of a billion dollars in American aid if
    it did not fire the prosecutor handling the case.


    Joe Biden did not shut down any investigation of Burisma. The
    prosecutor that he had fired had already done that.


    Joe Biden threatened to withhold a billion dollars if the prosecutor who was investigating the corrupt company; on who's board of directors his son Hunter sat and recieved a 60 to 80 thousand a month salary; wasn't fired!


    Don't even try to `pretend' that didn't happen....Joe Bden is ON AUDIO/VIDEO doing JUST that!

    I've seen some `law' professors say Trump isn't `impeached' unless and until Pelosi actually delivers the articles of impeachment to the Senate. In fact, one of those leftist `professors' of law who spouted nonsense against Trump in one of Schitts' last hearings, stated that very fact.


    Its like a grand jury returning an indictment against someone. And then the DA never prosecutes. If he doesn't prosecute the indictment is meaningless.
    Unless and until Pelosi delivers the articles of impeachment to the Senate, Trump ain't `impeached'!

    The Republicans had ample opportunity to ask questions of the witnesses,


    That is a total lie.


    The whole country saw the democrats hold hearings in secret, out of the public eye.


    The whole country saw the democrats deny republicans the chance to call witnesses of their own.


    The so-called `whistleblower Schitt boasted about at the start, he had to hide the son-of-a-bitch and didn't DARE bring him into it because it came out that he was so democrat biased, and had colluded with Schitt's own staff so much, that Schitt didn't dare bring him out to testify. In fact did everything he could to repress republicans even refering to him!

    The republicans were denied their right to call witnesses.


    The whole country saw that (and so did Shipp).


    Schitt cut off every instance in which he thought a republican was going to mention `the whistleblower'.


    After pumping up the nation on the whistleblower being able to bring Trump down....suddenly Schitt did everything he could to supress even the very mention of the whistleblower!


    Why?


    Because it came out that this so-called `whistleblower' had ginned up his
    story with Schitt's own aides! And who knows' what would have come out under cross-examination!


    This is a piss poor job of railroading. And its most likely to fail. Pelosi can't deliver the articles of impeachment to the Senate. Because that means a `trial'. In which Trump gets to call witnesses. Hello....whistleblower!

    Ok, and the #2 reason is because they're also addicted to corruption, slavery, forced-prostitution, child-neglect, and murder. If we threaten to take their victims away from them, that's enough to drive them insane. They're out for blood, believe it or not, although they're phoning in their strategies.

    Here is a bit of history for you.
    Donald Trump beat 15+ Republican candidates on a crowded stage to become
    President.

    He was the strongest candidate in that crowded field. I will
    grant him that. Of course, it was a very weak field, but still ...

    You think Amy, Elizabeth or Peter have a chance..

    Not only the gals, and one who thinks he is.

    Ever ask yourself how these gals have become millionaires.
    Elizabeth is a opportunist who uses her -smallest sliver of Indian heritage when it suits her. These people do not know what it means to play by the
    rules. America sees this too, her campaign will run out of gas and she will drop out of the race. Then there is her days representing DOW chemical... Champion for Women? more like Champion over women...




    I do not see them beating Donald Trump.

    It's too bad Democrats can only nominate one candidate at a time,
    as each and every one of them would win in a walk.

    The Presidential debates last time had me on the edge of my
    seat. I can not not wait until they come about again.

    Yeah. President Pence is sure gonna have his hands full with
    whatever candidate the Democrats choose to nominate.

    [..]

    He is destroying our Republic. By his own actions.

    Your vision of the Republic is not our vision.

    Truth, liberty and justice for all is what I believe in.
    Truth, liberty and justice is what most others also believe in.
    If that makes me a bad guy, then I am in good company.

    Well there ya go I believe in these things as well, I believe that there
    more that binds us then divides us.
    Those are not to be slick words, it is genuinely how I feel.

    No president is above the law. He swore an oath. He broke it.

    Superman has always stood for truth and justice and the American Way.

    That was true, until recently. The new Superman movies have
    Superman killing his enemies, rather than upholding the values
    we hold most dear.

    Come to think of it does has Donald Trump.

    Donald Trump has trashed America and American values.

    oh really? please do tell.

    Donald Trump is all about America, or perhaps you would rather see America under the thumb of another nation, a country that is barely alive, 48 million people on food stamps, no jobs and even a President who tells us that the
    jobs just are not coming back. - Been there done that...

    Tell us all how Donald Trump is trashing and destroying American Values.

    I really don't think you can define American Values.

    You are just pissed off that his Presidency and his leadership are a success to spite the screaming from the left and even the efforts within the Democrats can not stop him as they have tried with dossiers which lead to investigations, impeachment communities, even with help from the highest officials within the intelligence communities within the FBI, CIA couldn't stop Trump. The efforts of this Anti-Trump machine have fallen apart and it has left a trail of parts and debris that spell out when, where and how these things were put into motion. These efforts have and will continue to backfire in their faces, continuing to damage the Democratic brand and platform, to the point where no one will want to stand with them or even near them in the future.

    According to Ukraine, neither of the Bidens broke any Ukrainian laws. Since the matter was already investigated, by Ukraine, and there is no
    new evidence, everything is okey dokey.

    The most corrupt place on the planet, and your talking about Ukrainian Laws? Rrrrrright...

    The value of Donald J. Trump.

    I really don't think you can define American Values.

    Would that be cultural values? Moral values? Personal values?
    We each have our own ideas as to what constitute "American Values".
    Here is what a fellow by the name of Guy Reel claims are his own
    set of "American Values" -

    Published on
    Wednesday, April 20, 2005
    by Common Dreams
    American Values
    by Guy Reel

    What is America? What are the values it has most fought for
    and admired? A few of the first, and most important, come to mind:

    Freedom.
    Equality.
    Democracy.
    Champion of the little guy.
    Helper of the oppressed.
    Defender against tyranny.

    Some of the other values are ingrained in our history and our
    belief in our future:

    Capitalism.
    Independence.
    Strength.
    Rightness and righteousness.
    Manifest destiny.
    God.

    Freedom of religion.
    Family.
    Wealth.
    Faith.
    Entertainment and happiness.

    Even a casual reader of these values can see where conflicts might
    arise among them. Capitalism and strength have made America great,
    but they have generated their own set of inequalities. Our wealth
    is unequaled, but Jesus taught that our faith should make wealth
    meaningless. Equality is a wonderful ideal, but frankly, not everyone
    is created equal. Freedom is fine until we see our vast money-obsessed entertainment and happiness apparatus assaulting us with base
    immorality, cowardly news, and stupidity.

    Over the last twenty years or so, the most radical members of the
    right wing have claimed they've owned the core American values that
    I've just enumerated; moreover, they've claimed that liberals have
    tried to defeat them. Therefore, they argue, liberals are trying
    to ruin the American way of life. They claim that liberals are a
    threat to our very future. For those who question this assumption,
    they need only to listen to talk radio, Fox news and the Republican
    leadership who pass for responsible voices in our democracy.

    Their methods are not surprising. Because here is their dirty little
    secret: The far right must gain its identity from imagined enemies.
    Because without these imagined enemies, the ultra-right wing is not
    viable. Without the imagined enemies, you just have - America. It
    is an America struggling with competing interests among its core
    values. It should try to help the poor while building wealth for
    us all; it should try to lead the world without exploiting or
    dominating it; it should not be ashamed of a faith in God but should
    never discriminate against those of different beliefs; and it should
    try to figure out balances between those "right and left" policy
    disputes, such as protection of the environment versus encouraging
    development.

    This is the true American value: We are a nation of compromises. The Constitution is a document of concessions between competing interests.
    We weigh the right of the accused against the power of prosecutors; we
    weigh the power of judges against Congress and the president; we weigh
    the power of the people against the strength of the government.

    Yet this is the problem with the right wing today. When a political
    faction encourages an atmosphere that makes these competing principles
    evil and corrupt - even the idea that there should be competition among
    them - it threatens the very essence of America. It must be said
    outright: These strange Americans are fighting against the founding
    values of this nation.

    The radical reactionaries (it is absurd to call them conservatives)
    have convinced about half of Americans that the basic American values
    - the values of balancing various competing interests - are evil and anti-American. This is where the future of America is threatened, and
    it must be fought at every turn.

    What we have seen is the creation of a culture of hate in America,
    and that is not too strong of a characterization. The radicals vilify
    those who disagree with them -they must do this to survive. For without
    the enemies that they themselves imagine, they are nothing. After the
    imagined enemies are gone, they have nothing to rant against, except
    the notion of American values. Therefore, if they lose their enemies,
    they lose America.

    America is a balancing act. Sometimes we slip off the wire. No one said
    it would be easy. No one said it was simple. It's a work in progress,
    and it always will be. The danger to America is when we allow those who
    vilify basic American values to have the loudest voices.

    America has always been great.

    made greater than it already is.

    He has only his own values.

    I watched a segment of Pelosi signing with multiple pens....she'd write a word...switch pens....write another word...switch pens....


    She almost couldn't suppress the look of absolute glee in her eyes as she signed.


    The democrats surrounding her as she signed were thrilled at what was happening. About the stupidest democrat to come down the pike in decades; Maxine Waters; went into hysterical joy! You could almost hear the `impeach
    45! impeach 45!' running through her mind as Pelosi signed. And she left
    waving one of the special `impeachment' pens Pelosi handed out as momentos
    high in the air.


    Its not about Trump having done anything to get removed from office over.


    Its about staining him with `impeached' after his ame in the history books.


    Democrats and their bots in the media were pissed that Hillary lost to him.


    His `impeachment' began even before he took the oath of office.


    The democrats and their deep-state partners are livid that a political nobody with no political experience whatever managed to get over 60 million votes and defeat Hillary with an Electoral College majority so big it was an
    embarassment to any democrat worth their graft!

    You might have hit it on the head!

    Ok, and the #2 reason is because they're also addicted to corruption, AT>slavery, forced-prostitution, child-neglect, and murder.


    I got something on that somewhere....let me look....


    Yeah....in October last year Hunter Biden stepped down from the board of a Chinese-backed equity company (what would Hunter Biden know about `equity'!).


    Hunter Biden was also involved in Chinese companies who use slave labor.

    I watched a segment of Pelosi signing with multiple pens....she'd write a word...switch pens....write another word...switch pens....

    Have you ever seen a member of congress act like that much of a proud lunatic?

    She almost couldn't suppress the look of absolute glee in her eyes as she signed.

    I guess it was the biggest accomplishment of her life; to formally accuse the president of wrongdoing. A real patriot would regret to sign articles of impeachment against their president.

    That will sound appealing to some liberals and terrible to the other half.
    But even if you put proof of that in their faces, it wouldn't cure their TDS.
