“It's so unfair,"

More whining from the Victim in Chief. He's worse than the far left.

It's so unfair to Trump.  And he is just such a nice guy.  Someone to look up to - as he pointed out in his last rally with reference to departed senator Dingle.

6 ( +11 / -5 )

“It's so unfair," Trump said, days after he was impeached by the House, as he spoke at a conservative student conference organized by the group Turning Point USA.

"Whaaa...whaaa..." He cries like a junior high schoolgirl....

“They call themselves Democrats, but they really don't believe in democracy," he said.

Said Putin's puppet...

“We have to say it was a bipartisan vote," Trump said. “No Republican went to their side.”

Ensuring Moscow Mitch and the spineless Repub Senate is sent packing in 2020...

Speaking to thousands of enthusiastic supporters, many wearing his campaign paraphernalia, Trump encouraged young conservatives to stand up to the “radical left," 

Most of that campaign paraphernalia being made in China...along with Trump's clothing line...

Trump was introduced by conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh, who encouraged the high school students in attendance not to believe in climate change and for conservatives to attack Trump's critics, not spend time defending him.

"The Lump" Limbaugh just admitted what every Repub knows - you can't defend Trump because there is no defense - he's guilty as charged - so all you can do is falsely attack the other side...pathetic...

“The president doesn't need to be defended. He needs to be supported."

Way to wave the white flag Rush!

President Trump is playing the Democrats like a fiddle. Loudly, and justifiably, slamming them for viciously impeaching him over absolutely nothing, while privately rejoicing that they've shot themselves in the foot (again) and have ensured his re-election in 2020. Brilliant!

It's going to be a very merry Christmas for Trump and the historically employed working class.

I guess you didn't hear about that impeachment thing.  Nice Christmas present.  Only the third President to get impeached.   I'm just waiting for him to boast that even Obama could not get impeached.  And for his cultists to confusingly cheer.

yep said that for the 2018 midterms, result was a record turnout by Democrats and a 10 million vote slaughter of the Republicans. Democrat states population vastly outnumber red states and when more people vote there is a high chance of a democrat POTUS. 2016 was a low turnout, 2018 record turnout for midterms and 2020 is predicted to be a record turnout as well. You can understand why republicans are so against weekend voting, goodluck

Here's the reality : until the Articles are sent to the Senate, Trump is NOT impeached.

No. The constitution is very clear that the House has sole power of impeachment and the Senate has sole power to try all impeachments. This means, in painfully obvious language, that once the House passes articles of impeachment, the president is impeached.

Where did you go to law school?

It doesn’t really matter. Even if one of the Dems hand picked “scholars” says otherwise. The fact that Pelosi is continuing to play games by withholding delivery to the Senate in a vain attempt to leverage it to game the process even more is proof enough that this is a purely partisan exercise meant to influence the 2020 election. The more Dems deviate from past the practice of past impeachment’s the more she comes off as trying to railroad Trump. In the end she knows the case is weak and easy even for moderates like Senator Collins and anti-Trumper Romney to bat aside. She is acting like she is playing with a full house when she has nothing. Let her enjoy the rest of 2019. The next year is going to be a nightmare for her and her party.

-4 ( +5 / -9 )

Let me explain it in greater detail:

Article I, Section 2, Clause 5 provides:

The House of Representatives . . . shall have the sole power of impeachment.

Article I, Section 3, Clauses 6 and 7 provide:

The Senate shall have sole power to try all impeachments.

Article II, Section 4 provides:

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Notice the distinct lack of requirement that the House transmit the articles of impeachment before the president is impeached?

Oh, you think the dems should have randomly chosen witnesses for their hearings? No official proceeding in history considers that reasonable.

The fact that Pelosi is continuing to play games by withholding delivery to the Senate in a vain attempt to leverage it to game the process even more is proof enough that this is a purely partisan exercise meant to influence the 2020 election.

Oh no! The dems are doing what the repubs have been doing. It’s sooooo unfair.

The more Dems deviate from past the practice of past

Moscow Mitch.

This has been a big circus by the Democrats and a huge waste of time and money that could have been spent on real world issues. POTUS will continue as POTUS regardless of the House, the SENATE will not exercise a trial for what is viewed and seen as real meaningful IMPEACHMENT when it has bone and meat to it, otherwise it is just paper and meaningless. Meaningless because of all the worthless energy spent POTUS will remain a sitting President. The vote was not even overwhelming unanimous either. That tells the public this was aka witch hunt and waste of time.

-5 ( +4 / -9 )

Holding the president accountable for corruption and demonstrating to the public that republicans approve of Donny’s corruption is definitively not a waste of time or a circus.

Another word salad by the Cuisinart-in-Chief: add whine and let him stew. Funny to see how proud Repubs are to point out that he will not receive a fair trial in the Senate. McConnell has already admitted to that several times, but Trump's comments don't address this - he is only capable of attacking on the most base level. Also funny to see his twisting in the wind.

Same place your Dem selected constitutional lawyer witness did. who says Trump is not impeached.

Where did you go to law school?

Ask the Harvard Law Professor

I asked two:

Alan Dershowitz, an emeritus professor at the same law school [Harvard] and often a Trump defender, wrote in an op-ed Thursday that Trump had been impeached by the House, using the past tense.

Laurence Tribe:

.@NoahRFeldman is making a clever but wholly mistaken point when he says Trump hasn’t “really” been impeached until the Articles reach the Senate. Under Art. I, Sec. 2, Clause 5, he was impeached on Dec 18, 2019. He will forever remain impeached. Period.

No, it’s not. The House was the grand jury. Once a grand jury hands down an indictment, a person is indicted. This holds true even before the indictment is transmitted to the trial court.

Nancy didn’t follow through until the end with impeachment. So she leaves you hanging having to try to prove it’s really done. Having to quote Dershowitz to do it, that must pain you so after discrediting everything else he has said this 2 years.

you know what she did follow through on? Gave us our USMCA trade deal, our Wall funding, our Space Force and 13 more federal judges for us.

so thanks! Good trade when all you got was “impeachment*”

As Impeachment Moves Ahead, President Trump Well-Positioned Against Leading Democratic Contenders!

As the race currently stands, President Trump is in the lead in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin in hypothetical match-ups against former Vice President Joe Biden, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Senator Bernie Sanders, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and former Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Across the three states, Trump’s closest contest is against Joe Biden, although the president leads by an average of 6 percentage points against each Democrat.

In Michigan, Trump is polling ahead of Biden by five percentage points, Sanders by six points, Warren by nine points, Buttigieg by eleven points, and Bloomberg by eleven points. The president consistently runs behind Democratic contenders aged 18-35 but does well among other age cohorts, especially those aged 55 years or older. For example, in a head-to-head contest of Trump against Bernie Sanders, Michiganders aged 18-35 support Sanders over Trump 58% to 34% but those aged 55+ support the president over Sanders 53% to 37%.

In Pennsylvania, Trump continues to do well against the competition with the president leading Biden by four percentage points, Warren by seven points, Sanders by eleven points, Buttigieg by six points, and Bloomberg by four points. Bloomberg – who performed nearly as well as Vice President Biden in the commonwealth– had his best performance in Pennsylvania, running only four points behind President Trump in the state.

Wisconsin was President Trump’s best state in this round of battleground polling. Against almost each of his Democratic challengers, President Trump held a double-digit lead. The president is currently running up nine percentage points against Biden, twelve points against Warren, thirteen points against Sanders, eleven points against Buttigieg, and twelve points against Bloomberg. Among non-partisan voters, Wisconsinites favored President Trump by double digits. For example, against Senator Elizabeth Warren, Trump led by over 18 percentage points among non-partisans.

From State to State. Blue Dogs defecting! Red will rein in and the Republic will thrive and bask!

Thanks to Nancy and the gang. My President is kicking you know what and taking names!

The impeachment was a sham and everyone knows it. Losing popularity day by day. Just a sheer reminder the great American experiment is working! Drain the swamp!

The GOP and POTUS are unstoppable. Four more years! Four more Years!

Prosperity! Growth! Security! Abū Bakr al-Baghdadi al-Qurayshi the Iraqi-born leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. No longer walking around this great Earth! Rise Republicans! Rise my brothers and sisters! Take back Congress and see Nancy and gang put out to pasture!

She's making him obsess and meltdown - explain attacking beloved late Rep John Dingell in his home state? The MAGA-hat wearing pro-Trump crowd even groaned. He can't take all the humiliation and embarrassment - he's becoming even more unglued...

The Trumper logic;

A Trumper robbed a bank, he got away with money, stocks, and some gold. He exchanges gunfire with the cops, then escapes

Afterward he crawls back and tells his buddies, I got away with all this stuff - all they got was putting a bullet in my spine...

He'll exit to applause all right - having been thrown out of office and humiliated - and then having to face more justice as multiple investigations take their course - but then he's already an un-indicted co-conspirator in directing Cohen to pay off Stormy - remember the black Sharpie signature on those checks?

I'm sure Stone has a bunk all ready for him...

I have always believed in politics history repeats itself. We see it time and time again.

I remember during Republican Revolution, Revolution of '94, or Gingrich Revolution, refers to the Republican Party (GOP) success in the 1994 U.S. midterm elections, which resulted in a net gain of 54 seats in the House of Representatives, and a pickup of eight seats in the Senate. The day after the election, conservative Democrat Senator Richard Shelby of Alabama changed parties, becoming a Republican; on March 3, 1995, Colorado senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell switched to the Republican side as well, increasing the GOP senate majority.

Look for something similiar to happen because Democrats brought it on with this impeachment. An utter sham!

Democrats are going to take some seriously heavy losses and the Democratic party will face some of the most serious challenges its ever had to undertake in Americas history in the very near future.

The Democrats will get creamed next year. The only thing that they’ve done was impeach this President and they couldn’t even do that successfully. Let’s see if they can hold onto the House. If they lose the House next year, their party is as good as dead for the next 4 years...God willing.
