Louie, are you telling me that the chief Justice of the SC is part of the Senate?? Please explain that one for me..

I agree and have said in the past that kids should not be any part of insults to presidents ETC.. However, referring to Baron name is hardly any insult to the kid..

The experts, all 4, called in for testimony all have great credentials and 3 to 1 agreed that the process is going as per rules..

The whole world disdains the orange POS sitting in the oval office. except for the 38% of american voters who will support him even as he steals their own hard earned money and future..

No Democrat president has done the solicitation for help that trump has, so we will never know what I may or may not have said..

rules change in 2015..

As the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump uncovers more and more evidence of possible wrongdoing, House Republicans have increasingly focused their argument on complaining about the process.

Earlier this month, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy demanded inquiry proceedings be stopped unless the minority got the power to subpoena witnesses. On Wednesday, Minority Whip Steve Scalise, and others even likened the secure, closed-door investigation into sensitive foreign policy matters to something out of the Soviet Union. That same day, a group of angry House Republicans barged into the secure facility and effectively halted hearings for several hours, complaining about transparency.

But if they find the process unfair, they have only themselves to blame. The House rules that govern this process were adopted in 2015, by the then-Republican majority. And the same Republican leaders leading this criticism helped establish those majority-centric rules at that time.

But while minority-party members once had significant say in who was subpoenaed, a major 2015 rule change rammed through by the Republican majority stripped them of this power. The majority leader at that time was McCarthy himself.

On Wednesday, Scalise took part in a press conference organized by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to demand that the secure hearings be more "transparent."

Obviously any actual impeachment vote would be done in public, should the majority decide to charge him with "high crimes and misdemeanors." Under the Constitution, that would trigger a trial in the GOP-controlled Senate, where a two-thirds super-majority would be required to remove Trump from office.

But the House rules, which McCarthy and Scalise helped enact, also allow this fact-finding portion of the impeachment inquiry to be done in private, by the relevant committees. Indeed many of the House Republicans protesting the lack of "transparency" of the secure hearings are allowed to attend them and have been participating.

On Thursday, Fox News' senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano surprised his colleagues by noting that he had actually read the House rules and discovered that the Democrats were following them.

"As frustrating as it may be to have these hearings going on behind closed doors, the hearings over which Congressman [Adam] Schiff [D-CA] is presiding, they are consistent with the rules," he noted.

The shooter most definitely was a Second Lieutenant in the Saudi Air Force.

The gunman, identified as Saudi Air Force second lieutenant Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, used a locally bought Glock 45 9mm handgun with an extended magazine, and was carrying between four and six more magazines.

Four hours ago: Six Saudi nationals were taken into custody for questioning near the Florida naval base where an Air Force trainee – also from Saudi Arabia – opened fire Friday morning, killing three before a sheriff’s deputy shot and killed him.

According to the New York Times, three of the Saudis were filming the attack as it happened. It is unknown whether they were students at the base, or whether they are connected to the gunman.

The shooting spanned two floors in a classroom, according to Sheriff David Morgan of Escambia Country. Two deputies were shot in the ensuing gun battle and are expected to recover.

Gee byron, thanks for the concern for my foot.. in truth it was my wonderful dog Cupid, who stomped on it trying to get even closer to me and my coffee cup.. but life goes on, at least for a while yet..

No one has seriously proposed that the senate will remove trump, and I firmly agree with that. to bad, very sad.. but it is what it is..

Yes, all of us shall be judged.... but I would like fair judgment on this earth also, and while I am around to see it..

Have a good day Byron,,

Because, the prosecutors STILL need to prove his guilt. So, if he is NOT guilty the best thing he can do is cooperate the same way Hillary did when she was being accused of made-up crimes. Hillary made a laughing stock of all those investigations simply by cooperating.

The fact is, when Trump refuses to cooperate he may as well be pleading guilty and the prosecution knows this.

So you can make up whatever excuses you want... it doesn't change the fact that if you have nothing to hide, there's no reason not to cooperate.

Hard for them to be better? Children in cages, our pristine public lands turned over to the extraction industries for plunder and degradation, our greatest allies in the Middle East, the Kurds abandoned resulting in the death of many, Syria handed to the Russians on a platter, A grinning Kim launching Rockets like a drunken hillbilly on the Fourth of July while Trump kisses his ass and cancels our military training exercises with South Korea. The American storm victims in Puerto Rico are having their designated aid held up for no reason and continue to live under tarps. 21% of American children live in poverty while the uber wealthy are given enormous tax cuts that are plunging the nation into debt. Our closest friends in the world are pissing themselves with laughter at Trumps buffoonery. Members of Trumps staff continue to be hauled off to prison for crimes he committed. Couldn’t be better, my ass. The filthy Cheeto faced Shitgibbon is leaving a stain on our great nation that will take years to scrub off.

Muslim lawmaker accused of swiping half a million dollars from charity

Previously lashed out at Christian prayer, now facing counts of theft, perjury, tampering

A state lawmaker whose claim to fame has been that she was enraged by a Christian who prayed to open a legislative session now has bigger issues to address.

Theft, perjury and tampering charges.

The Blaze reported she's been charged with stealing half a million dollars from a charity.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro announced Johnson-Harrell's case stems from her activities with the Motivations Education & Consultation Associates, which was set up by the lawmaker to get donations to help the homeless, seniors and children.

Instead, she allegedly spent it on "vacations, designer clothing, luxury car payments, real estate purchases, past-due mortgage payments, and other personal expenses."

WND reported she was among those who reacted with outrage when a Christian minister prayed to Jesus.

State Rep. Stephanie Borowicz thanked Jesus, "the King of Kings; the Lord of lords; the great I Am; the One who’s coming back again; the One who came, died and rose again on the third day," PennLive.com reported.

Johnson-Harrell was joined by Democratic House Minority Whip Jordan Harris of Philadelphia, who accused Borowicz of weaponizing her religion to "intimidate, demean and degrade" Johnson-Harrell.

Harris said, "There is no room in our Capitol building for actions such as this, and it’s incredibly disappointing that today’s opening prayer was so divisive."

Johnson-Harrell called the prayer "highly offensive to me, my guests, and other members of the House."

"It blatantly represented the Islamophobia that exists among some leaders -- leaders that are supposed to represent the people," Johnson-Harrell said in a statement. "I came to the Capitol to help build bipartisanship and collaborations regardless of race or religion to enhance the quality of life for everyone in the Commonwealth."

The Blaze reported Shapiro said the lawmaker turned herself in, confessed to the crimes and agreed to leave the Pennsylvania Legislature.

"Her theft knew no bounds," he said.

The Most Partisan impeachment in the history of the Nation: Will be the Epitaph of the Democratic party.

Pelosi's self-condemnation.

March 2019: "Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so
compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path,
because it divides the country."

May 2018: "Unless you have bipartisan consensus, impeachment is a divisive issue in the country."

Votes to formalize an "impeachment inquiry".

2019: The resolution passed 232-196, without a single Republican vote.
In fact, two Democrats voted with Republicans against it.

1998: 31 Democrats joined the effort to impeach Democrat Clinton, for a full vote of 258-176

1974: Republicans joined the effort to impeach the Republican Nixon, with the House voting 410-4.

The hearing were done to the letter of the rules which Republicans wrote in 2015..

Republicans sat in with the original investigation..19 of them..

The next stage was the public broadcast hearings.. trump was invited but refused to attend..

the scholars which you demean are very respected and asked for interpretation of the findings.
Only the right wing shill chose to protect the orange criminal..

This is going as I told you at the start, the orange fool will be impeached and the senate will refuse to remove him from office..

What is really disappointing is that every single Republican claims to believe that it is OK for a President to bribe a foreign leader in an effort to get a personal gain over a political opponent. Everybody now knows that is exactly what he did. He told us himself in his own words. To go to such an extreme shows a lack of confidence in the President's ability to win on his own. Just like he did and continues to do in running the Trump Crime family and posting his golf scores. He must cheat to win.
