"We cannot allow case against Trump to be decided at the ballot box"

[dogtag]

Or words to that effect from the bug-eyed Schiff.
Does that mean that we should allow him to choose
our Presidents ?
I guess. But, he's a pathological liar so how can we
believe anything he says ?

If he and his sort had their way we would have a system similar to East Germany, with a nominally multi-party system but with all power in the hands of the Politburo of the ruling party. Which would be self perpetuating.

^ doubt it,

however, if such a system was possible, the other side would be just as guilty of using, or trying to use it

[m1ashooter]

I find his statement very concerning!

So, fair elections are not possible. From what I have heard here,dead people vote, which I don't think is fair and I think is a cliche. But now, foreign countries can pull our strings depending on what they want to have happen.
The balance of power has unalterably shifted(which sounds bad according to Schiff). So, according to Schiff some shifting is taking place(can't help it). Maybe that's good. It's more balanced. Maybe in a rough way, but politics can be rough and sometimes roughness is called for.
Would it have been the end of life as we know it if the balance had stayed the same? It might have been a rougher road further down.
Point being; balance is being restored(I'm hoping)and I can't wait for all this t.v. time to be relinquished back to The Dick Van Dyke show reruns.

“For precisely this reason, the president’s misconduct cannot be decided at the ballot box, for we cannot be assured that the vote will be fairly won"

I would have put it differently, but I understand the point he is making, which is that the advantages of incumbency ought to have some sort of limit on them.

Schiff would make a good replacement for Hitler.

Oh, I thought they did. Two term limit ?

There is that, but also: we elect a President, not el Presidente, right? We want the person in the job to faithfully execute the laws not write their own through favorable DOJ-OLC white papers.

Heads on Pikes, I say.

Wouldn't it be nice if members of Congress had the same limit?

yes it would

El Presidente means The President. The foreign language doesn't make the title evil.

[Vern Humphrey]

El Presidente means The President. The foreign language doesn't make the title evil.

But that's all he has. He has no facts to bolster his prejudice, just name-calling.

you and your logic!!


don't go getting him all triggered now
