Pelosi officially announces impeachment inquiry

[Tgo01]

So the fucktards went ahead and impeached a sitting US president because of a fucking phone call.

What an absolute shitshow the Democrats have turned our Democracy into. If you're still going along with this shit you are just as pathetic as each and every single Democrat who voted for this bullshit, which by the way only Democrats voted for this shit.

The Democrats literally cheered and applauded after Pelosi read that the measure had passed. Just proves this was not being taken seriously and had nothing to do with justice, they literally CHEERED that they just impeached the president over a phone call. Fuck each and every single Democrat in congress.

He'll be acquitted in the senate, and reelected in November. No worries.

Only question now is the senate going to say "fuck you" to the house and just dismiss the charges outright, or they going to go through with an actual trial and allow the Democrats in the senate to further make a mockery of our Democracy.

Pelosi says since the Republicans in the senate are being meanie heads she hasn't ruled out the possibility of just not sending the articles of impeachment to the senate.

What an absolute joke and disgrace.

A small factoid: Donald J. Trump is now a member of the second-most exclusive fraternity of us presidents. Another small factoid: he can never be a member of the most exclusive fraternity of us presidents. A prediction: he won't be granted his own exclusive fraternity of us presidents.

In terms of what will happen in the Senate: The charges cannot be dismissed. There can be an agreement to the procedures the Senate will use during the Senate hearings as to whether or not any other issues of substance should be reviewed by the Senate prior to proceeding to a vote on guilt. At the very least republicans will still return to the saw of wanting to parade the whistleblower publicly. For that to happen, the trial hearings will occur.

As a third small factoid: So far, neither party has attempted to bring this to the Supreme Court largely because the Supreme Court by precedent has said it cannot weigh in on political matters. An outright dismissal, if attempted, could successfully be petitioned to the Supreme Court as a legal constitutional matter, though. Based on this, no, neither party can allow that to happen. It would be disastrous to the republican mantra to leave this hanging open long enough to wend through the Supreme Court. They'll follow form. They have no choice. How the vote will tally is also a foregone conclusion.

Not a factoid, but a guess: From here on, the shit show only gets worse, as both parties capture images and soundbites to use for the 2020 elections, from House, through Senate to Presidency. And another guess: americans will no longer care to hear it, don't want to know who was right or wrong and have no attention span for any subtle nuance.

Leading to the prediction: 2020 will be hotly contested and still bitterly divisive. The country will not heal from this. It doesn't matter who is bad or who is not. And everyone is equally to blame for the outcome. There is no winner despite what at least one self-proclaimed embattled hero will claim.

[Astray]

2020 is gonna be interesting.

[Tgo01]

The charges cannot be dismissed.

I don't see why not.

And everyone is equally to blame for the outcome.

No it's 100% on the Democrats.
