Of course, lawyers are supposed to cite precedence. No other president has effed up this much before, so they're going to acquit anyway.

Indeed. Not surprised it came from the “Let them eat cake” party though.

How did it end for the French monarchs, can someone remind me?

Ohplease, ohplease, ohplease...

Cuz we all know what happened to THAT guy.

being invoked, being that it is in the Constitution as well as an Amendment? Does something equals in my mind just about anything, cheating, etc. to get elected in the public interest.

Just ask Ken Starr.

Scary thoughts from an intentionally stupid man.

Something like, if a president cheats to get elected, that's okay.

They're all crazy.

Singing the songs of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the songs of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Everything is about getting re-elected instead of serving constituents and the nation.

MAGA FOREVER

It was against our national security. It was against our stated Ukraine objectives and policy. All so he could force Ukraine to manufacture dirt against his political opponent.

Qu'un sang impur abreuve nos sillons!

From "La Marseillaise."

then he should be investigated for it to be sure.

Believing something doesn't make it true.

... wait a minute, wait a minute ...

... so, if a president lies about getting a blowjob - for instance - to help himself keep his job and get reelected ...

... it's OK? ...

... well, well, well ...

If only!

what a dick

assholes realize that???

I guess there are special kinds that are A-OK!

...if he or she determines that remaining in office would “be in the public interest,” he or she could simply cancel elections and declare himself president for life?

on the edge. he has all the pieces in place but overwhelming turnout is the main deterrent

absurd argument even he can’t truly believe.

Thanks for explaining, Dershowitz.

My prediction ...

'Acquittal' will mean the green light for whatever Trump wants to do ... what's going to stop him?

Consequently, Trump will order U.S. sanction on Russia to not be enforce -- that's what the whole Trump tenure has been about, doing Putin's bidding and ending those sanctions.

of the Enabling Act of 1933.

The Nazis devised the Enabling Act to gain complete political power without the need of the support of a majority in the Reichstag and without the need to bargain with their coalition partners.

... would tell us that it's ALL FOR OUR OWN GOOD!!!!!!

Jiminy crickets ....... surely we are NOT THAT stupid or gullible.

Alan Dershowitz: "If a president does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment...unless the president is a Democrat."

There. I fixed it for him.

Geez, I don't know about anyone else, but I'm getting really sick and tired of being talked to like I'm some kind of simpleton. They may have to do that for the current occupant of the People's House, but, personally, I actually have a clue.

the guilty off scott free. Watching his act on The View was enlightening. Dershowitz is a piece of work. He's good at what he does, but what a slimeball.

When the President Does It, It's Not Illegal

The Republicans are literally crowning King Donald the first King of America.
