Re: Democrats Should Accept Advice of Republican Witness
Actually I was thinking of the House request for Trump financials.

and then there were none.
Taq writes:
Trump losing his base is probably not going to happen, so all we are left with is 20 Republicans in the Senate finding a moral backbone, and the chances of that are slim to none.
The danger of that is if Articles of Impeachment are sent to the Senate and then the Senate decides that nothing rises to the level of Impeachment that il Donaldo will understand that to mean he really can do anything he wants with impunity.
We live in Interesting Times.

Trump has been impeached.
Trump has been impeached but I still feel that this is a mistake simply because it will likely embolden the fool to commit even more egregious acts. If, as expected, the Senate does not convict Trump he will see it as proof that he really is above the law.

Lindsey Graham on the relevance of Congressional subpoena
Lindsey Graham says that if a President fails to respond to a Congressional subpoena it makes the President subject to Impeachment.
Remember this is the same Lindsey Graham who pointed out back in 2016 what we all know to be true, that Donald Trump is a race-baiting xenophobic bigot,.

Re: Acquittal
Every impeachment incident has been along party lines. Impeachment is a political function.

Time for a look back over the last few years.
From Message 1
quote:
Trump did a good thing yesterday in using the bully pulpit, er, tweets to force the Republicans to reverse their trashing of the independent ethics committee. Here are a couple other good things Trump wants to do:
Change health insurance to a single payer system. I'm not sure he was serious about this, and I don't know what the details are.
Repeal the tax law that allows the wealthy to transform interest earnings into long term capital gains that are taxed at about half the rate. This is the law that allows Mitt Romney to pay only 20% in taxes every year when his actual tax bracket is 39.6%.

So what has been the progress on those items so far? How's the Independent Ethics Committee doing today? Has the Single Payer been found yet? And have the tax breaks for the wealthy been curbed yet?
Have the Democrats thwarted every attempt of President Trump to push through those reforms?

Today il Donaldo addressed the State Governors as reported in the NY Times.
We’re doing a lot of things that are good including waste and fraud, Mr. Trump said Monday. Tremendous waste and tremendous fraud.
quote:
The budget still makes major changes to health care programs, including several that would tend to lower federal spending in Medicaid, by reducing the share of medical bills the federal government will pay for the Obamacare expansion population and imposing new requirements on beneficiaries who wish to enroll. Altogether, it proposes combined cuts to spending in Medicaid and Affordable Care Act subsidies that come to a trillion dollars, cuts that would mean substantial program changes.

Re: Acquittal
This is the significant point and absolutely renders the US Constitution null and void. If the President feels it is in the best interests of the Nation he can run for reelection a third time. Or simply remain in office if his Party controls the Senate and SCOTUS.
