Midterm Election Results

[Androidpk]

Unless you're suggesting that they're about to prosecute the president under the RICO act, I'm pretty sure you can't cite cases against someone else as evidence against Trump. Whether or not Trump is guilty of something, there needs to be evidence against him.

I'm not claiming there's legitimate evidence one way or the other out there to be found. There very well could be. What I am claiming that Vishra talks directly out of her asshole because there are not "mounds of witnesses and evidence incriminating Trump.". If there was, he'd have been impeached already.

Her statements have no basis in reality, yet she talks as if we should just take her at her word for everything. Her level of credibility is zero, because she has a zero percent track record of correct information.

There is plenty of information that backs up her statements. Mueller has a shit ton of evidence that he's collected over the year and he has multiple people that were a part of the Trump campaign (with close ties to Trump) now cooperating as states witnesses.

Why even bother with a subpoena, then? He's guilty until proven innocent, right?

Look, I get where you're coming from. I don't like Trump any more than you do, but you cannot decide the guilt of a person before it's proven. It's one of the tenets of our judicial system. Whether or not you think he's guilty doesn't make it so until there is actual evidence presented. And that hasn't yet happened.

I totally encourage the democrats to move forward with this witch hunt.

Why get a subpoena? Because he's doing his due diligence and being very thorough. If you're going to go after the king you best be sure you have a strong case to present. Of course he's going to want to talk to Trump and get his side before he presents his report to Congress. Not talking to Trump beforehand would be irresponsible.

Mueller's being very careful, which is great. I hope the new Democratic House majority is as well in the investigations it launches. With careful management, they'll build iron-clad cases against Trump and his self-serving cronies (assuming, of course, that there are legitimate blights to be found, but I expect there are plenty). If they find enough evidence, they'll impeach him and the Republicans in the Senate will turn against him out of self-preservation and find him guilty. And then all the Trump supporters here will claim that they never *really* supported him and attempt to revise history. Hopefully, this election is the beginning of the end for Trump.

He's already threatening Democrats, by the way. It's super classy -- and fearful.

Voter turnout for mid-term was incredible considering 114 million people voted yesterday while in 2014 it was 83 million.

This is most definitely a good thing: People being engaged in government.

Clearly the American people mandated at the very least a check against Trump's nationalist agenda by voting in a blue wave to the House if not outright impeachment of the president himself.

Wut?

Did you not see the actual results of the election last night? Do you know nothing about political history at all?

Democrats received over 10 million more votes than republicans in the Senate but because of how districts are drawn Republicans still retain that majority. Something needs to change there.

So, gerrymandering helped the Republicans gain seats in the Senate. OK, remember that question I just asked you about your knowledge about politics? Don't bother answering it.. you've made it painfully clear you don't know a thing about it.

Happy to see big gains for women and specifically American Indian and Muslim.

Only the Democrat women I imagine. Pretty sure you weren't happy when Marsha Blackburn beat an old white guy. Weird how your identity politics work...

If only Trump actually had any ability to threaten Waters in any way, right? Waters, Schiff, and Cummings should all frighten Trump.

Democrats now have real power. Let's see how they use. I'm skeptical.

Wait.. so in your head... you believe that Trump doesn't have any ability to threaten Waters.. so her behavior is ok, because she can threaten Trump?

You must hear echos all day long as stuff just bounces around in there all day..

I think this was a big win for the Democrats. It was about as expected, though the swing was more than I thought in the house, and I didn't expect the Republicans to gain seats in the Senate. All in all a shift in power. We'll see if it has any real impact.

How is it a "Big" win? It was exactly as expected. A "big" win would be if they took the senate.

Wow you're stupid.
