Thoughts on the impeachment


Dec. 18, 2019

Eyes rolling. The Rs keep saying the Ds tried to impeach Trump from the day he was elected, when the truth is that they would not do so until we found out about his shameful behaviour with Ukraine.

They keep saying he is only being impeached for political purposes, and if he is impeached, they will impeach every Democratic president in the future. As if they didn't impeach Clinton for partisan political purposes.

From a Facebook friend
He SHOULD have been impeached after the Mueller Report but it was too complex and misrepresented by William Barr, to be accepted by the American People.

The fact that the very_day_after Mueller testified that if trump were not president, he would be charged with crimes, trump proceeded to call Yelenski and do the same_thing_again.

The GOP said BEFORE the election, that they would impeach Hillary Clinton should she be elected....and they never stopped promising to throw her in prison when she has never been found guilty of ANYTHING.

All the GOP has is projection of who and what they are, onto everyone else.

Harping on the whistleblower, to deflect attention from the fact that people with more direct knowledge have testified to Trump's behaviour, including Trump admitting what he did.

What is the Rs answer to a D referring to Rs who are honorable and patriotic and care about our country? A bunch of lies against the Ds.

Here we go again. The name of the whistle blower has remained secret. For one thing, that is normal to protect whistle blowers of misconduct from retaliation from the wrong doers. And in this case, Trump has publicly and loudly promised retaliation against the whistle blower, and encourage people to attack, possibly kill, them.

R saying Ds are terrified Trump will win election. True, because we are terrified he will do so much damage to our country, terrified that he and other Rs will destroy democracy in our country.

R saying Trump has put us on a path to peach and prosperity. Trump has chosen to alienate us from allies, to favor authoritarian leaders, to block action on global warming, which will damage our economy and welfare, and might help Russia, to explode our national debt, which will be a burden for generations.

R giving some "facts" , really giving some lies. Eg., saying the leader of Ukraine didn't know that Trump was withholding aid at the time of the phone call. It has been shown that this is a flat out lie.

Rs call Trump the choice of the American people. Of course, it was Hillary Clinton who got almost 3 million more votes than Trump.


R claimed Obama gave no military aid to Ukraine, a flat out lie, of course.

Facts First: Trump is being hyperbolic here. While the Obama administration was criticized for its refusal to provide lethal assistance to Ukraine, it did provide more than $100 million in security assistance, as well as a significant amount of defense and military equipment.
By March 2015, the US had committed more than $120 million in security assistance for Ukraine and had pledged an additional $75 million worth of equipment including UAVs, counter-mortar radars, night vision devices and medical supplies, according to the Pentagon's Defense Security Cooperation Agency.
That assistance also included some 230 armored Humvee vehicles.
