The Political Discussion Thread

I don't recall the Republicans starting impeachment proceedings in 2010. Not even in 2014, when they gained the House.

no **** they had nothing on him (not even an excuse like an affair)

Or is opposing Obama a criminal offense in your mind?

is opposing Trump, junior Bush & the elites a crime in your mind?
ho wait it is you call it anarchism/communism/marxism or w/e

If that is your claim, why were Democrats & the left pushing to impeach Trump before he even took office ?

because he'd already revealed himself to be a tax-dodger traitor etc. basically a criminal?

No you simple minded fool. The house and senate had EVERY right to oppose Obama if they felt he was "going off the rails".
trump is a criminal, and it is the DUTY of the house and senate to consider those charges openly and honestly.
The house wanted to oppose Obama's agenda.
This time they want to oppose the presidents crimes.
How is this not clear to you?

Because he is incapable of seeing beyond partsian

Indeed.

[Annoyed]

Or, maybe it's because I see the agendas the left wants to pursue as harmful to the US and its people?

Well a Day after Christianity Today published that Opinion piece they have been attacked.

Oh my stars has this guy got a thin skin and always so angry

Why?
What is the "threat" of a healthier, better educated country?

You proved my point that you can't see beyond the political scope

[Annoyed]

You proved my point that you can't see beyond the political scope

So, I'm supposed to be supportive of ideas that I think are bad for the US so that I'm not "political"? Sorry, not gonna happen.

If you want me to support an idea, convince me that it's better for me and the working class in the U.S.

[jelgate]

And now you further proving the point. You can only think in 2 dimensions

What exactly is bad for the USA? Please tell us Annoyed

What exactly is bad for the USA? Please tell us Annoyed

Just a few items off the top of my head...

The US economy runs on energy.
Under Trump, we've achieved energy independence. In fact, we are now a net exporter of oil, as I understand it. This has done good things for our economy.
The Democrats want to destroy that; many of them want to outright ban gasoline. Doing so would decimate the US economy. This would be bad.

The Democrats (and many conventional Republicans) want to continue the flood of illegals who are coming into the country and hopping onto the welfare gravy train. This is a drain on the economy, and obviously bad.

This is a weird one. Until Trump came along and actually did something about it, Democrats have generally taken a better position on Trade deals; opposing things like NAFTA. But of course, nowadays, they want free trade to oppose Trump. Trade deals that put the US at a disadvantage as NAFTA and others did are bad for us.

The Democrats want to keep on expanding legalized murder in the form of abortion. How can that be anything but bad?

I could go on, in fact, maybe I'll edit this later and add on to it, but you should get the idea; much of what the left wants to do is harmful to the nation and its working people who would end up suffering the consequences such as loss of jobs, wages, etc.

This is why I oppose them, I don't care if you call your party chopped liver, if you want to do what I consider right, I'll support you, if you want to do things that I consider wrong, I'll oppose you.. The name of the party doesn't matter.

You can't impeach someone before they take office, it's not even a legal possibility.
Impeachment is reserved for serving officials because it is the constitutional remedy, not the legal remedy. If the dems wanted to take legal action against trump when he was candidate, they could have, and some indeed did, and given the actions he has done, I personally think they should have done it. Not because he was a republican, but because of his history.
You need to know the law if you are going to argue this Annoyed, and either you don't know, or don't want to know.
Which leaves you either ignorant, or uncaring about the law.
How Republican are you really these days?
