Yanno, a billion flies eat shit. I bet you did, too.

It doesn't make it caviar.

Today, the Turks are rolling into Kurdish Syria and all Donald Trump has to say is, hey, the Kurds weren’t with us on the beaches of Normandy, so what kind of ally are they anyway? This has apparently finally gotten a rise from his evangelical fans, not because they care about the Kurds but because the Turks might end up killing some Christians too. I guess Trump forgot that the fate of Christians in the Middle East is a big deal to American evangelicals.

Find me that quote, m'kay?

Because I have a quote from the very same section referencing William J. Clinton, and the HOUSE VOTE procedure used to start an impeachment inquiry, as an indicated practice.

So - go find that quote. Or I'll just figure you're doing your usual bullshitting (lying).

I'll give you some time to cover your ass. Then I'll post the quote from the House Manual.

The insane never-Trumpers will be driven even more insane in the wash/rinse/spin/repeat/ cycle they mistake for reality.

The defendant, Trump, does not decide the rules of impeachment. The House of Representatives does and can change them without Trump's input. Whatever you think you know about impeachment, 1kiki, it counts for nothing. Whatever Trump thinks he knows about impeachment, 1kiki, it counts for less than nothing.

Trump does get to decide whether he will lie to the House or order witnesses to not testify or refuse to make available documents, including his tax returns. And the Senate decides if Trump is guilty, which Mitch McConnell has already said Trump won't be convicted.

You know how Trump gets removed from office? Election. Everything else is just sound and fury, although Trump's tax returns, held by the State of New York, could immediately set fire to the Trump Circus Big Top. The size of fire is proportional to the size of Trump's cheating. Little cheating, little fire. Big cheating, big fire, maybe big enough to ruin his election campaign 2020.

1kiki, you should immediately switch your energy to defending the privacy of Trump's tax records. That is the only place he is vulnerable because tax cheating does NOT get decided by Mitch McConnell or the GOP.

There either won't be an impeachment, or it won't go anywhere.

There really is no sense even arguing about this. Today or any day.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

FIFY

Meanwhile - that HOUSE MANUAL that lists procedures for impeaching a president, SLOPPY. You got that quote saying they don't need a vote? You got that quote saying the procedure doesn't apply to presidents?

YANNO, like you CLAIMED. Or were you, as usual, lying your ass off?

But beyond those lines, there isn’t much more information spelling out exactly how the process should work — which gives the House free rein to decide how things can go, including whether to launch the inquiry with a full floor vote or not.

In the 105th Congress, an independent counsel transmitted to the House under section 593 of title 28, United States Code, a communication containing evidence of alleged impeachable offenses by President William J. Clinton. The House adopted a privileged resolution reported by the Committee on Rules referring the communication to the Committee on the Judiciary, immediately releasing portions to the public, restricting Members’ access to the communication, and restricting access to committee meetings and hearings on the communication. Later, the House adopted a privileged resolution reported by the Committee on the Judiciary authorizing an impeachment inquiry by that committee.

1kiki, how many Presidents were removed by the Senate? Zero. How many Presidents removed by Death? Eight. How many Presidents? Forty-four. One President served nonconsecutive terms, which is why Trump in numbered Forty-five.

The score is Senate: 0, Death: 8
It looks like Death wins the game.

1kiki, the whole game of removing the President by a 2/3 vote in the Senate has always failed. The game was poorly designed and is run in the Senate by morons and clowns. The rules of the game change, but the result is always the same. The details of how it fails this time will not change how the game will run the next time. It will continue to fail, forever, because the Senate won't expel its clowns and morons from playing in the game.
