  1.  @mary11976  leadership isn't taking the next step when you can count on support from your opponent. Leadership is taking the next step because it is the right thing to do and convincing others to follow you. If Nancy only wants to follow the crowd she has no place in leadership. Which is ok there is only a need for one person at the top so if she isn't up to it step aside and let someone else take the roll.

  2.  @mary11976  well if your handle is any indication we would have the same timeline of watching DC but you seem to have the oppion that we are dealing the the pre Greenwich GOP who where reasonable not the post Greenwich Mitch McConnell GOP. If you wait for them to agree you simply bow to their way of doing things. Compromise and agreement require both sides be rational actors and that is not the current situation with our politicians it hasn't been since Greenwich.

  3.  @mary11976  oh as to more patience if the impeachment process takes longer then the term of the presidency than it is a useless tool. We need to act now if it is to be a check and ballance on the powers of the executive branch.

  4.  @mary11976  no we don't have to just wait we can put pressure on the politicians to do the right thing now.

  8.  @tnmtemerity  what do you need proof of? The House of Representatives has the responsibility to actually hold impeachment hearing and impeach the president at which point the Senate holds the trial as you pointed out from the constitution. So step one is for Nancy Pelosi to hold impeachment hearing after which Trump will be impeached for his criminal actions including his direct violations of the constitution in the form of the emoluments clause. There is plenty of evidence. The same way Bill Clinton was impeached. Sure there is a chance that the GOP could choose to publicly admit they value party over country and not remove trump from office. The Senate choose to not remove Bill Clinton for lying under oath about his sex life to a special counsel investigation into a perfectly legal land sale. So it is very import that the public impeachment hearing in the house expose the crimes trump has committed to the public. Nixon is a better example of what will happen with a real criminal not a political witch hunt. Nixon was wildly popular before the house started to hold hearing and inform the public of his crimes. At which point his popularity plummeted and he resigned rather then be forced out. Trump will force the Senate to hold the trial which is really just a vote of the members. But that will force the Senators running for relection to choose between party and country right now they don't have to vote to keep a president in power who just sat in the oval office and said he would commit a felony in order to get relection. Forcing Senator Lindsey Graham to come out and ask the FBI to tell all politicians that it would be a felony the FBI would want to know about. Proving that the one thing the GOP Senate cares more about then the gop is protecting their own jobs. When forced to publicly support trumps true crimes against the constitution Graham showed his cards he will voter against trump to try and save his own neck.

  9.  @tnmtemerity  but the Senate is not where it starts so my point holds true that Nancy Pelosi has to take the first step. Only an idiot would hold a vote on impeachment in the house of representatives without public hearings. It is the one opportunity the Democratic party has to make their case to the public and force the Senate to face reactions to their choice. My point in saying that it is little more than a vote in the Senate is to point out that Mitch McConnell can choose to hold the Senate in closed session without public scurrying of the process. Just one more vote in the middle of the night so to speak. Control of the house makes it the place where the Democrats need to make their case to the public for impeachment not defure to Mitch McConnell and the gop controlled Senate. I do find it funny that you choose to judge my understanding of the constitutional process by a few comments on a YouTube video though that is funny thanks for the laugh in a dark topic. So infact as the process has to start with impeachment by the house before the Senate can act Nancy has all the power today not Mitch McConnell in the Senate. Mitch is powerless to hold trump accountable for his crimes until after Nancy Pelosi holds a vote on impeachment.

  10.  @tnmtemerity  funny I thought you where the one who couldn't admit you where wrong and that the House of Representatives has to take the first step not the Senate.

  11.  @tnmtemerity  you said the house is powerless and that the Senate has all the power which is wrong the house infact has all the power right now because they have to start the process until Nancy impeaches trump the Senate is infact powerless.

  12.  @tnmtemerity  so the body which can't do anything today has the most power great logic. You sound just like Nancy Pelosi waiting for Mitch McConnell to give her permission to do her duty.

  13.  @tnmtemerity  rofl I just noticed you are still beating a week old dead horse.

  14. The question is will Congress up hold their constitutional duty and impeach trump for his continued abuse of power? My guess is Nancy Pelosi won't she will continue to keep the focus of impeachment narrow. Congress is failing to do their constitutional duty.

  18. Ofcourse our for profit healthcare system couldn't use the WHO test. They have a duty to maximize profits. Go vote for Bernie Sanders today. We need Medicare for All. Pandemic response is not the place for a profit motive.

  19. Every member of Congress who hasn't started hearing on this is also complacent in the crime. The Republicans held countless hearing on Benghazi with 4 deaths to trash Hillary Clinton. Nancy Pelosi should be doing the same thing today keeping this outrage in the public spotlight. But instead she is home eating icecream.

  23. So trump has embraced 5 million Americans dieing because he has done nothing. That was the figure he kept toughening at the start to show how killing 185,000 wasn't that bad because if he did nothing they told him 5 million Americans would die.

  24. That question would land better if Tulsi Gabbard didn't flip flop on her campaign platform during the primary campaign

  25. This is clearly a game of delay benifits the GOP as they hope the next president post 2024 will pardon Trump and end the court case in progress if they can only buy enough time. The democrats will learn that delay to make the trial run during the 2024 campaign could work out as poorly as it did for Hillary.

  30. Who wants to bet that Rand Paul just increased spending with this objection. Mitch McConnell will definitely slip in some other spending to this bill before he brings it up for a vote again. It will probably be a couple of billion for some right wing priority that he knows the Democrats won't agree to otherwise.

  31.  @dennisamsden6374  yup she is very good at enabling trump and mitch McConnell.

  39.  @brianwalls6938  I don't wish them death but unlike them I do believe in science. 185,000 deaths in the last few months paints a very clear picture of what will happen when there is any large gathering before we have a vaccine.

  40.  @Rune-Thorne  yup the rise of fascism follows a pattern for sure. I happened to have been fascinated with the fact that the world could decend onto war twice in such a short time that I studied the events leading to the second world war. Knowing what happened in the 30s makes current events all the more scary. The reality is the stage has been set for major crisis for the last half century as the inequality in our society has been constantly increasing and the tactics of blaming others with no power has been used to distract from the true class warfare.

  41.  @susimar  half a century of class warfare driven by greed is how we got here. Income inequality today is greater then it was in the 1930s. Study history everytime the wealthy take too much of a society's resources for themselves there will be civial unrest. I highly recommend you study the rise of fascism in Nazi Germany and compare the situation there with the situation today. As people lost their jobs the people in power found others to scapegoat for the problems their policies causes. Peopaganda and fearmongering feeds on people's fear of losing what little they have left. There is a percentage of society looking for an authoritarian strong man leader to protect what they have which they can barley survive on. Our society has become infected with greed and selfishness. We worship capitalism which is a system designed to reward the greed and selfishness. The person who is willing to withhold life saving medications for the largest profit gets rewarded as the brilliant winner of our caplistist system. Instead of being criticized for withholding life saving treatments from people who can't afford their profiteering. Trump isn't the problem he is the symptom of a much deeper sickness in our society. Regardless of which party is in power you can depend on one thing the wealthiest people on earth will continue to get the most financial assistance from our government.

  42. Nancy Pelosi's doners are losing money in the stock market how much do you bet she starts getting phone calls to impeach him now?

  44. The only criminal I see is the one who defrauded the American taxpayers of $100 million dollars. Which is why the IRS is still auditing the taxes Trump refuses to release.

  45. Remember trump said 250,000 dead Americans would be a job well done. So ofcourse he thinks you should go vote in person during a pandemic how else can he kill more Americans?

  46. The CDC guy would get more benefit from his mask if he put it on his face instead of waving it around.

  47. We just have to look at her voting record to know who she is. She is someone who supports spending money on the death machine known as the military industrial complex. But she doesn't support spending half that budget on the American public. She is a war monger supporting her donors not her voters.

  48. If you are disqualified based on the 14th amendment a write in would only draw votes away from the GOP.

  49. It isn't like the Obama administration refusing to prosecute the crimes of Barr and the Bush administration backfired.. What could possibly go wrong with the Biden administration doing the same with Barr and Trump???

  50. Reverse the result of the election? How on earth are the Republicans able to say this with a straight face it would mean the Democrats had tried to make Hillary Clinton president but if Trump is removed Pence becomes president. These idiots who know nothing about how impeachment works should not be in government
