To IMPEACH ????

I agree about Hillarius.
What about that deficit and nat'l debt?
Or how about ditching corporate taxes and cutting back Social Security for the elderly?
Or how about having teachers supplying children's needs out of their own pockets?
Or how about millions of kids without healthcare?
How about the high cost of medical insurance?
How about working people not getting a fair share of profits and the wealthy and corporations getting the most?
Val Demings charges Mitch McConnell cannot take oath for impeachment, must withdraw
Demings contends McConnell cannot take an oath of impartiality now
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s comments Thursday indicate he can no longer be an impartial juror, Democratic U.S. Rep. Val Demings charged Friday
The Orlando Democrat said he must recuse himself in any Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.
Demings, a former Orlando police chief, cited current Senate rules that require Senators in impeachment to take an oath of impartial justice, and said McConnell no longer can take such a pledge.
Thursday night, appearing on The Sean Hannity Show on FOX News, McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky, said: “Everything I do during this, I’m coordinating with the White House counsel. There will be no difference between the president’s position and our position as to how to handle this to the extent that we can.”
Demings is a member of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee that voted Friday morning to send two articles of impeachment to the floor of the House of Representatives. She voted aye, along with all 22 other Democrats, while all 17 Republicans voted no. She also is a member of the House Intelligence Committee that prepared the Democrats’ case with months of investigation, featuring 17 witnesses in October and November.
On Friday, she cited Chapter IV, Paragraph 5 and also Chapter XXV of the Senate Rules, which stipulate that all Senators must take oaths, and it must state: “I solemnly swear [or affirm, as the case may be] that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of [the person being impeached], now pending, I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws: So help me God.”
That oath (or something like it) Demings notes, is required under the U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 3, which states: “The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation.”
The Senate rules she cited were last codified in 1986.

What campaign against Biden ? Do you really think he will be the nominee ?
He would be a gift to Trump , the man has so much baggage that Trump doesn’t need to dig up dirt . He should however be concerned about potential criminal activity by the front runner.
Not one impeachable item . Many of those are state issues , the President is not a dictator and funding bills come from congress . Furthermore all those issues started long before Trump even thought about running for office .
What a pile of shit. Trump has enhanced national security with his policies and actions.
Not surprising I missed it, there was no Facebook and I didn't have a computer in those days & I never was big on T.V.
No, those aren't the articles of impeachment. I never claimed they were. You said, "how about those employment numbers?" and I replied with a few of my own "how abouts".
So? And jobs aren't? lmao
Right. He's a wannabe.
Which was mostly Trumplican.
.... and some before Duhbama, too. So instead of Trump doing what he can to alleviate problems, he adds to them.
Brilliant!
