• Dems Gain What?

    From Aaron Thomas@1:275/99 to All on Friday, February 12, 2021 17:20:34
    This impeachment #2 is wrong because Trump's no longer in office. Now it's
    just Democrats telling 49% of America who they can't vote for in 2024.

    Who are they to ban our candidate? We should ban Bill Clinton from running in 2024. His lack of professionalism and lack of compassion for 1/2 of Rwanda would be 2 very good reasons, plus the repeat visits to Epstein Island.

    When we're done messing with the old man, we'll have to figure out a way to take a whack at Obama's eligibility too ;)

    This impeachment #2 is wrong because Trump's no longer in office. Now

    He was impeached while still in office. He cannot escape trial because
    he is no longer in office. There are multiple previous cases where
    former officials were tried.

    it's just Democrats telling 49% of America who they can't vote for in 2024.

    Because he formented and encouraged an attack on the Capital. If that
    part of the procedure is passed, he will be banned from holding *any*
    federal office.

    Who are they to ban our candidate? We should ban Bill Clinton from
    running in 2024. His lack of professionalism and lack of compassion for 1/2 of Rwanda would be 2 very good reasons, plus the repeat visits to Epstein Island.

    DUH -- Clinton cannot run for President in 2024.

    When we're done messing with the old man, we'll have to figure out a
    way to take a whack at Obama's eligibility too ;)

    Ditto.

    This impeachment #2 is wrong because Trump's no longer in office.

    That is just wrong. This impeachment is moving along just as any impeachment would in line with the constitution.

    Now it's just Democrats telling 49% of America who they can't vote for in 2024.

    That is just not so. Republicans and democrats can vote for the person of their choosing. But you know that.

    It's no surprise that Donald Trump finds himself in this situation, looking back at the events that have unfolded since the election.

    The house impeached Donald Trump because he incited a seditious insurrection on the capitol. Trump probably would have been barred from holding office again.

    That would be a good thing.

    but they already lost the battle before they started.

    Yes, that's what republican senators had to say, and that is what they did.

    The republican party is not standing up for America, law and order or the constitution. That will prove to be a problem for them.

    Hello Mike,

    Who are they to ban our candidate? We should ban Bill Clinton from running
    in 2024. His lack of professionalism and lack of compassion for 1/2 of
    Rwanda would be 2 very good reasons, plus the repeat visits to Epstein
    Island.

    When we're done messing with the old man, we'll have to figure out a way to >>take a whack at Obama's eligibility too ;)

    I sometimes get this confused but since they already served 2 terms I don't
    think they are eligible now.

    Just before leaving office after his second term, Obama made some
    comments to the news media concerning that subject. By his lights,
    he can run and be elected as president. He is a constitutional
    scholar, having taught constitutional law. So he does know his
    subject well. If elected, the courts would rule in his favor, as
    the courts would not want to go against the will of the people.
    That is his basic argument.

    Harry Truman was not subject to the 22nd Amendment, as it was
    drafted and written with that in mind. But all subsequent presidents
    were affected. Interprtations have varied among scholars, but I tend
    to agree with Obama's view.

    The 22nd Amendment was intended to limit a president to serving
    two *consecutive* terms, but return after sitting out the next term.
    Which would make it another first term, with the possibility of
    serving another second term.

    FDR was elected to four *consecutive* terms. Not four terms. That
    is what the 22nd Amendment was intended to prevent. One cannot have
    a third consecutive term until one has served two consecutive terms.
    One can serve a new first term after one has served two consecutive
    terms. One can even have two nonconsecutive first terms, without
    ever having a second term. That actually happened with one president.
    Who has two different numbers.

    He ran for three consecutive terms, against the same guy, winning
    best two out of three.

    Hello Aaron,

    He was impeached while still in office. He cannot escape trial because >DS>he is no longer in office. There are multiple previous cases where >DS>former officials were tried.

    Impeachment is reserved for removing elected officials from office.

    And for disqualification from running for office.

    If an offender has 5 days left of their administration, impeachment is not
    viable.

    Donald J. Trump was impeached while still in office. Donald J. Trump
    could still have been impeached had he already left office, but that
    is not the issue. There are two parts of impeachment, as noted in the
    US Constitution. One part is removal from office. Since he is no
    longer in office, that part is moot. But he can be disqualified from
    running for office. That part remains relevant.

    We'll see how good Democrats are at "upholding the law" by the end of today.

    The US Constitution grants the Senate "sole power" in cases of
    impeachment. The Senate has already voted in favor of ruling the
    impeachment as constitutional.

    DUH -- Clinton cannot run for President in 2024.

    We don't know if Biden is going to make an executive order to change term
    limits or not. He is already opposed to term limits in Congress.

    The 22nd Amendment is poorly written. And also poorly interpreted.
    However, even a president who has served two terms can run again.
    Even if those two terms were served consecutively.

    Look at it this way. Bill Clinton served two consecutive terms
    in office. So did Barack Obama. After serving two consecutive terms,
    they left office. Can either of them run for another first term?
    Of course. There is nothing in the 22nd Amendment that says they
    can't.

    Let's say Biden decides to call it a day at the end of his term,
    and not to run for re-election. So Obama decides to run for another
    first term, which he would easily win in a landslide. He is still
    a young guy, and could serve another two terms without any problem.

    Not really sure about Bill Clinton. He'd probably rather stay
    home and play with his grandkids rather than chase skirts anymore.

    President Biden is Catholic. Carries a rosary in his pocket.
    Every day. Says his prayers. Every night. His most fervent wish
    is for Trump to run again in 2024. "Thank God for granting me
    a second term!" will be President Biden's words when Trump
    makes his announcement to run. The possibility of sweeping every

    I don't know why you shifted the topic. Term limits for a President
    cannot be changed without a constitutional amendment. As to term limits
    in Congress, I don't know but suspect that would have to be something
    passed by Congress and not by any executive orders.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    That failed as well.
    Btw, That (making Trump ineligible in 2024) was what this was all about in the first place and it failed along with anything else that the Democrats were trying to prove. As Trump was acquitted yesterday on 02-13-21.

    It was said that the Democrats tried to create evidence as they would quote Trump "up to a certain point" and then deliberately cut off the rest of what Trump said.

    Why? This was done to prove their case and to use Trumps abbreviated words to try to prove to a totally different meaning. What a Schiff show... Indeed!

    This was instantly realized by listening or by reading the entire sentence or paragraph of what Trump actually said or indicated within his Jan. 6th speech.

    Nice Try.

    But here is what it actually says.

    22nd Amendment
    Primary tabs
    Amendment XXII
    Section 1.

    No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,
    and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President,
    for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President
    when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

    This means that DJT can run & if elected he shall be President Elect in 2024.

    Often when people are doing things that are morally wrong (like trying to tell the American people who they can or can't elect) they fail, and the reason is because people pray for justice and God listens. Democrats HATE that!

    Hello Dale,

    The 22nd Amendment was intended to limit a president to serving
    two *consecutive* terms, but return after sitting out the next term.
    Which would make it another first term, with the possibility of
    serving another second term.

    Go back and read it again. It simply says "no person shall be elected
    to the office of the President more than twice". Nothing there about
    "two consecutive terms".

    Grover Cleveland #22 served one term.
    Grover Cleveland #24 served one term.
    There will be no future Grover Cleveland to serve one term.
    Regardless of whatever # anybody might want to give him.

    Apparently what I wrote in my last message went over your head.
    Way over your head. Just before leaving office, Barack Obama made
    some comments to the news media concerning his views about the
    22nd Amendment. Yes, he agreed that after serving two consecutive
    terms a president had to leave office. But he noted that he could
    run for another term, and win, and the courts would refuse to get
    involved. IOW, the 22nd Amendment is intended to mean the number
    of consecutive terms, set at two.

    It stands to reason (Barack Obama is a lawyer) a third consecutive
    term would have to follow a second consecutive term. So in order for
    Barack Obama to serve a third term, he would have to serve a new first
    term, then a second consecutive term, and then be elected to a third consecutive term.

    That clearly will not happen, as Michelle and his two grown children
    will not let him.

    words to try to prove to a totally different meaning. What a Schiff show... Indeed!

    Words are words, and they mean what was said.

    This was instantly realized by listening or by reading the entire
    sentence or paragraph of what Trump actually said or indicated within
    his Jan. 6th speech.

    Why do you think that the Jan 6 speech was all there was? He had been
    priming his audience to violence for many months. He praised them when
    they attacked a state capital and plotted to kill the governor. He
    frequently used violence retoric at his rallies -- praising the people
    who took him at his word.

    It should be no surprise to anyone that mob was doing exactly what he
    wanted and encouraged them to do. They said they were there following
    Trump's orders, and when he told them to withdraw they did that also.
    He was in control of that mob from the get go.

    A major part of the case was about what he did not do. After the attack started, he could have called them back or he could have called in reinforcements -- he did neither. He sat there and gleefully watched
    things for hours. When he was informed by a frantic phone call by one
    person, he blew them off with a statement that gave support to the
    people who were breaking in.

    When he finally did tell the mob to back off, he did not condemn their
    actions -- but praised them.

    The 22nd Amendment was intended to limit a president to serving
    two *consecutive* terms, but return after sitting out the next term. Which would make it another first term, with the possibility of serving another second term.

    Go back and read it again. It simply says "no person shall be elected
    to the office of the President more than twice". Nothing there about
    "two consecutive terms".

    Nice Try.

    But here is what it actually says.

    I know what it says, and what I said was accurate -- Lee was wrong.

    This means that DJT can run & if elected he shall be President Elect
    in 2024.

    That is true, and I did not say otherwise.

    Hello Greg,

    two *consecutive* terms, but return after sitting out the next
    term.
    Which would make it another first term, with the possibility of
    serving another second term.

    Nice Try.

    But here is what it actually says.

    Grover Cleveland #22
    Grover Cleveland #24

    Had Grover Cleveland #22 won his bid for re-election, there
    would not have been a Grover Cleveland #24.

    And we all know there was only one FDR ...

    22nd Amendment
    Primary tabs
    Amendment XXII
    Section 1.

    No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But
    this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the
    office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

    This means that DJT can run & if elected he shall be President Elect in 2024.

    Nobody needs or wants a Donald Trump #45 and a Donald Trump #47.

    It was said that the Democrats tried to create evidence as they would quote Trump "up to a certain point" and then deliberately cut off the rest of what Trump said.

    So? They quoted the relevant part where he was getting his audience primed up -- and then deleted the back pedaling part? What they quoted was what he said.

    I am going to assume you what I am driving at.
    When you quote someone up to a certain point, and not indicate what follows your reaching to create conflict that does not exist, of which is a pathetic. That was the entire point by the Dems and they wanted to make up something that did not exist. Which is why they failed.

    Why?
    This was done to prove their case and to use Trumps abbreviated
    words to try to prove to a totally different meaning. What a Schiff show... Indeed!

    This is something that should of been told to Nancy Pelosi, before she
    decided to put the country through 2 impeachments. That failed with the acquittal of President Trump. -twice.

    Why do you think that the Jan 6 speech was all there was? He had been
    He praised them when plotted to kill the governor.

    Donald Trumps DOJ protected the Governor. I do not condone what these did or what they had planned. I do understand why they were upset, it was one set of rules for the people in her state and no such rules for her husband that is not wise leadership.

    It should be no surprise to anyone that mob was doing exactly what he
    wanted and encouraged them to do. They said they were there following Trump's orders, and when he told them to withdraw they did that also.
    He was in control of that mob from the get go.

    What happened on January 6 was planned long before President Trump gave his speech.

    A major part of the case was about what he did not do. After the attack started, he could have called them back or he could have called in reinforcements -- he did neither.

    He was President of the United States of America, he was not the Mayor and
    he was not chief of police of the Capital Police force.

    When he finally did tell the mob to back off, he did not condemn their actions -- but praised them.

    Also in the speech the President also said to "Go Peacefully" how appropriate of you to leave that out or forget that altogether.

    few minutes. Instead he sat in the Whitehouse watching what they were
    doing with pleasure. Even when he called them off after several hours,

    He praised them when plotted to kill the governor.

    IIRC, those folks are/were members of a group who didn't like government in general and who (apparently) were no fans of any leaders, including the President. They may have chosen Whitmer after they were infiltrated (i.e.
    they may have had assistance choosing the target by someone "in the know").

    She apparently was not the only one on their potential target list.

    I did find it interesting that they were staking out her vacation home, especially since the rest of the state was under restrictions not to visit their vacation homes in other parts of the state. What's good for the
    goose...

    Politics did not that, not Donald Trump if you recall within the speech he
    also said Go Peacefully.

    Could be that this is what happens when people get really irritated with have a election stolen. Mail in voting was the vehicle for the greatest election fraud that this country has seen Nation has ever seen. Trump was leading by BIG numbers specially in the battleground right up to mid-night then
    something happened around 3 am...

    As things relate to the January 6th
    There were tens of thousands of people there at the capital & around 250 people created chaos. There were pre-laid 2 x 4 wooden boards placed outside of windows and reports of pipe bombs too. In addition to that members like AOC
    as well as other members received advance warning of what was going to
    happen. Therefore its complete lunacy to blame Trump for any of what happened on that day.

    Further clarification on that word of lunacy - You just are stead fast on blaming Trump because you can not come to terms that he had nothing due
    to this. It does not matter, because there are more people in the Senate like me then you and that is why he was acquitted.
    They should acQUITted before they started.

    Democrats are fighting this impeachment simply to deligitimize a 2024
    Trump campaign. That's all they stand to gain


    The house impeached Donald Trump because he incited a seditious AI>insurrection on the capitol.


    He did no such thing. That is an outright lie fomented by democrats and other Trump haters.


    Trump probably would have been barred from
    holding office again. That would be a good thing.


    The fact is the left is terrified of Trump. They are doing their level best
    to
    utterly destroy him. They are afraid he will run again, and they will do everything in their power to alter election laws and voting procedures in
    order to see to it that;


    1. No republican ever again wins the White House

    2. The Senate and House remain in democrat hands


    but they already lost the battle before they started.


    Yes, that's what republican senators had to say, and that is what they AI>did. The republican party is not standing up for America, law and order or AI>the constitution. That will prove to be a problem for them.


    It has been many decades (probably prior to FDR) since either party has
    really
    been `for' the American taxpayer in any meaningful way.


    They (both senator and congress-person) make a good case of `being for those who elected them' during their campaign for office right up till election
    day.


    Once they get to DC something happens to cause them to become just another member of whichever body they were elected to, who rubber-stamps the same `loser' legislation they've been foisting on us for 80 or more years.


    There are people who've been in federal government forty years or more (Joe Biden is a great example) who have done nothing but make a llot of noise
    about
    `bucking the system'....being `for the taxpayers'...yadida yadida....


    But the same old BS goes on and on.


    Trump came along and started to change all that. He exposed what I and many others saw decades ago. I even spoke of it here in Fido a few times, but got either ignored or called a conspiracy theorist.


    There are people in the national (and many state) government who have been there for decades. Many (but not all) are not subject to election. A good example of that would be the IRS woman who screwed over many conservative organizations (Lois Lerner?).


    There are hundreds (if not thousands) of `Lois Lerner's' in government.


    `The deep state' is a very apt title for it. Presidents and their administrations come and go. The `deep state' endures forever. One after the other they go and are replaced by yet another `deep stater' who's been there for many years, and will carry on the same policies of perpetuating
    themselves
    and their political structure-department-agency-whatever.


    An example:


    An individual gets into a bind with the IRS. How long do you think it takes from start of investigation to indictment?


    The FBI investigates `you' for bank fraud or some fraudulent statement to a bankruptcy referee. How long do you think it would take for an indictment to
    be handed down?


    From start of investigation to your first appearence in court would probably
    be around four to six months (typically).


    Do you REALLY think it has taken over four years for Hillary's emails to be checked for classified material before being released?


    Do you REALLY think it has taken the FBI over four years to gather emails of McCabe, Strok, Rosenstein, etc ....and send them to the US Attorney? REALLY?


    They were running out the clock. The deep state simply has to play a waiting game from an unfriendly administration to a friendly one, at which time the `investigation' just quietly goes away!


    They are terrified of Trump and someone like him. They have to utterly
    destroy him in every way they can so as to greatly discourage anyone from
    ever doing a `Trump administration' again.

    The house impeached Donald Trump because he incited a seditious
    insurrection on the capitol.

    He did no such thing. That is an outright lie fomented by democrats and other Trump haters.

    He sure did. It all played out on TV.

    Neither is Pelosi or any other person who was a `baptized' Catholic allowed to claim the Catholic faith who signs on to abortion.

    Reps like Nancy are voting against the unborn just to bolster their reputation among liberals, under the guise of "helping women."

    Meanwhile the "racist" Marjorie Greene is voting FOR the unborn by sponsoring a bill that makes it illegal to abort a baby just because it has downe syndrome.

    I wonder which rep god will appreciate more?

    Democrats are fighting this impeachment simply to deligitimize a 2024 Trump campaign. That's all they stand to gain


    The house impeached Donald Trump because he incited a seditious
    insurrection on the capitol.


    He did no such thing. That is an outright lie fomented by democrats and other Trump haters.

    Nope. We watching it live. The whole world watched it.

    Trump probably would have been barred from
    holding office again. That would be a good thing.


    The fact is the left is terrified of Trump. They are doing their level best to
    utterly destroy him. They are afraid he will run again, and they will
    do everything in their power to alter election laws and voting
    procedures in order to see to it that;

    The world is terrified of Trump... because he's terrible.

    1. No republican ever again wins the White House

    2. The Senate and House remain in democrat hands

    but they already lost the battle before they started.

    ..... ok, just saying stuff doesn't make it real.

    Yes, that's what republican senators had to say, and that is what they
    did. The republican party is not standing up for America, law and order or
    the constitution. That will prove to be a problem for them.

    It has been many decades (probably prior to FDR) since either party has really
    been `for' the American taxpayer in any meaningful way.

    They (both senator and congress-person) make a good case of `being for those who elected them' during their campaign for office right up till election day.

    Once they get to DC something happens to cause them to become just
    another member of whichever body they were elected to, who
    rubber-stamps the same `loser' legislation they've been foisting on us
    for 80 or more years.

    There are people who've been in federal government forty years or more (Joe Biden is a great example) who have done nothing but make a llot of noise about
    `bucking the system'....being `for the taxpayers'...yadida yadida....


    But the same old BS goes on and on.


    Trump came along and started to change all that. He exposed what I and many others saw decades ago. I even spoke of it here in Fido a few
    times, but got either ignored or called a conspiracy theorist.

    There are people in the national (and many state) government who have
    been there for decades. Many (but not all) are not subject to election.
    A good example of that would be the IRS woman who screwed over many conservative organizations (Lois Lerner?).


    There are hundreds (if not thousands) of `Lois Lerner's' in government.


    `The deep state' is a very apt title for it. Presidents and their administrations come and go. The `deep state' endures forever. One
    after the other they go and are replaced by yet another `deep stater' who's been there for many years, and will carry on the same policies of perpetuating themselves
    and their political structure-department-agency-whatever.


    An example:


    An individual gets into a bind with the IRS. How long do you think it takes from start of investigation to indictment?


    The FBI investigates `you' for bank fraud or some fraudulent statement
    to a bankruptcy referee. How long do you think it would take for an indictment to be handed down?


    From start of investigation to your first appearence in court would probably be around four to six months (typically).


    Do you REALLY think it has taken over four years for Hillary's emails
    to be checked for classified material before being released?


    Do you REALLY think it has taken the FBI over four years to gather
    emails of McCabe, Strok, Rosenstein, etc ....and send them to the US Attorney? REALLY?


    They were running out the clock. The deep state simply has to play a waiting game from an unfriendly administration to a friendly one, at
    which time the `investigation' just quietly goes away!


    They are terrified of Trump and someone like him. They have to utterly destroy him in every way they can so as to greatly discourage anyone
    from ever doing a `Trump administration' again.

    So what you are saying is, because nothing has changed in DC, Trump failed. He wasn't powerful enough or clever enough to stop them, and then he was replaced after only 4 years. You're saing he lost the election because he couldn't defeat the "deep state", and he couldn't do what he wanted to because he wasn't able to do defeat them. You're saying the "Deep State" is more powerful and cunning than he is and they beat him.




    ... That's just incredible! As in... it's just not credible.

    I didn't want you to get the notion I was deliberately not adressing this
    false statement of yours. I just didn't take the time to respond to it last night because of how false it is I decided not to waste my time.


    I'm responding now because of an incident that occured here in my area
    recently that is a great example of what happened on Jan 6, 2021 in DC.
    (I'll get to that in a moment)


    The absolute lies the left have vomited over the Jan 6th DC incndent are
    almost laughable if they weren't such obviously outright lies.


    The leftie `Antifa' and `BLM' thugs were out in force in DC.


    They hijacked the whole day. They planned the entire hijacking operation
    around the conservative gathering already publicly planned in advance for
    that day. It was no more Donald Trump's fault than it was mine.


    Donald Trump did not incite violence or destruction or trespass...he publicly called for *peaceful* marching to the Capitol building.


    You are as bad or worse than that oily leftie attorney who prattled at the impeachment about Trump `inciting people to violence'.


    Firstly....I want to point out the similarity I saw immediately both in that shyster leftie who lied (by omission) at the impeachment, and in this false notion in your reply to me:


    Both you and that low-life democrat puke omit the words Trump spoke to the crowd he spoke to included the word *PEACEFUL*, and/or *PEACEFULLY*!


    He urged them to march there and to protest *PEACEFULLY*!


    That disgusting democrat shyster qouted Trump's words....but deliberately
    left out the rest of his sentence by cutting off the ending of his sentence.


    Very clever of you (and the shyster) but a lie none-the-less.


    It is a lie by omission! But still a lie.


    Secondly....it is becoming more and more well known that the part of the protest that turned evil was well-planned by ANTIFA activist John Sullivan early on, and also at the Washington Memorial, on Jan 6th 2021.


    He and ANTIFA also organized a BLM rally at some plaza in DC on that same
    day, just prior to what has come to be described as `the DC riot'.


    Thirdly....it is now becoming known that some Antifa people are openly
    bragging about their pre-planning and involvement in the Jan 6, 2021 DC
    riots.


    There were in fact three Antifa-BLM protests organized prior to the Capitol riot.


    Isn't it funny how the FBI is either slow-walking any investigation into this...or ignoring it altogether?


    As for what occured locally....there was a pre-planned conservative/Trump supporters rally at a local beach area.


    At the time and place of the rally, as conservatives and Trump supporters gathered, suddenly a large group of black-mask wearing individuals appeared
    and began shouting curses and attacking the conservative Trump-supporting group. Several were assaulted and injured. Even elderly people were assaulted and one was hospitalized.


    The San Diego police were there in force but did NOTHING!!!!!


    So much for fair treatment under the law.
