Schumer Says Greed Structure For Trump's Impeachment Trial Is 'Eminently Fair'' | MSNBC
First they claimed he couldn’t be tried while he was in-office and now they say he can’t be tried out of office. Which is it??? GOP = Greed Over People
GREED is the name of the procedure used.
Don’t be so stupid as a tRumper. Come-on-man.
That whole Republican party should be a zoo.
@padseven
As if you’ve read the Constitution. 🤣🤣🤣
GOP – Gaslighting Our People
@brushcreek42
Try dealing in facts and evidence rather than feelings.
It’s enlightening.
Gee, he was tweeting what a coward Pence was and his mob was yelling to hang Pence. I wonder if he had any influence over the insurrection?
@Jodine White Commie
@Not Here This the USA. Only Democrats have free speech. Go back to your life now.
@Loral Anthalas They’re not stupid, just corrupt.
@brushcreek42 Showing us how the US education system works? Other countries have free speech child. And yes thank you I am enjoying my peaceful life. Put down the guns and pick up a book.
@Grey Whiteman Keep on dreaming.That won’t happen in reality.
Anything less than removing him from office would be a real shame
@G. Moeller A victory for China?
I think they meant from him serving in office in the future
@brushcreek42 “Russia is our friend” trumps very fine people of Charlottesville
@Loral Anthalas I see you only watched the edited version of what he said at Charlottesville.
@brushcreek42 nope. Watched the FULL thing comrade.
What happened to no one is above the law.
@eltorocal. I think that @Robloxworld meant @peege Clarke, and not tRump💨, but I may be wrong……..
Well I am above the law so what??, Cutting my arms is my right bleeding daily is my right cops and doctors are not the law, of my health nor my life, I will never obey to system of Justice
The GQP arbitrarily decided to carve out exceptions for themselves and their idol #HWSNBN
It left when biden took office!
@Trey Black Bless your hate-filled heart.
surely it meant to read ‘agreed structure’ not ‘ greed structure’ ?
yes
Did it? Good eye.
Thank you.. I was just scrolling to see if anyone else noticed
@Julie Whelchel Caught my eye too,hilarious,not that I’m suspicious or nothing…
Stating the obvious to people who know the obvious but do not care
“Must be truth and accountability If we are going to move foreword, heal and bring our country together once again.” Amen, pray for justice!
You meant forward/s, which means going ahead, foreword, is a short introductory essay preceding the text in a book………
I hope that you will take this in the spirit of honest help, in which it’s given, and not as a put down, because everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and I definitely do it myself, which is why I proof read most of my comments before I hit the send button/arrow at the bottom right…………….
Believe me, unconstitutionally impeaching Trump is NOT going to heal our country; just the opposite.
And remove all democrats amen
@brushcreek42 I fell exactly the opposite. It is not unconstitutional and he must be held responsible, other wise politicians after him will use this to get away with their crimes. Accountability will let the nation heal.
Again, he committed the Crime while still being president, the impeachment started before he left office. The trial is a continuation of the impeachment process.
interesting point but either way the disqualification clause says he can be tried and if found guilty, disqualified from future office. don’t remember the clause number anymore been out of school too long ago, but the disqualification clause is quite clear. in fact, it took an act of Congress to reinstate all of the confeds who led the original insurrection. don’t you hate history teachers, we never shut up.
@Trey Black Your logic makes no sense. Its like saying a person murdered someone, but then became a president and that person can’t be tried for the murder because they’re now in office and no longer a citizen. It’s not political, it’s about holding a person responsible for the deaths that occurred that January
6th.
@Nceb Who murdered who?
@Nceb Trump told someone to murder ? When ? Who? You can’t make crap up and twist someone’s words which is what you’re doing!
@Nceb There are no words of incitement! What are they? I don’t get how liberals are making lies up from something he did not say! Is it that you hate him so bad you’re willing to lie and prove that YOU lack character?
“Greed Structure”? Was someone using voice-to-text?
Responsibility has consequences. Leadership has consequences. Holding a political office, its responsibilities and leadership, has consequences. Abuse the responsibilities and suffer the consequences – imagine that.
And elections have consequences – mitch mcconnell. If the Dems do not wield the power they have now, they will lose it and be voted out in 2022 and 2024. Do something Chuck, do something Nancy and do something Joe, be something more than the “do nothing” Democrats
If doctors were in charge they might remove the infection first.
If you are going to expect healing, that is.
Enough of the lies, the blaming others, and deflecting. It is time that our government officials do the right thing according to the constitution. Enough is enough.
Yeah! Let the false accusations go!
Accountability IS Essential..!!
Republicans may feel they have a need to ignore reality, to “save” their party- at any cost- which is NO DIFFERENT than trump ignoring reality, trying to “steal” the election- at any cost.
Maybe those senaters that refuse to do their jobs need charged for being a part of it?
In their eyes: it is constitutional when impeaching a democrat, it is not constitutional when impeaching a republican. Thus, the laws only apply to democrats, republicans are above the law.
Hi is so guilty by his words he has been using these past few years.
If Mitch would have allowed witnesses at the first Trump impeachment, this would not be.
He’s one of trump flunky’s
When did republican voters become so unAmerican? They seem to hate our country.
Need a Secret Ballot because all are “witnesses” and afraid of vote-retaliation.
