May have been for "comic relief", I am waiting to see.

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

You really believe that don’t you??? How callous of you...

Now read slowly... The congressional power is a fundamental component of the constitutional system of “checks and balances.” Agree?? Through the impeachment process, Congress charges and then tries an official of the federal government for “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

During impeachment proceedings, the House of Representatives (that would be the lower house or Congress, just in case you don’t know that) charges an official of the federal government by approving, by majority v**e, articles of impeachment. You remember watching that v**e by Congress right? Also a committee of representatives, called “managers,” acts as prosecutors before the Senate... In this case they were Schiffty, Nadler, Crow from Colorado and four others whose names escape me... All drawn from the Democratic Caucus’...

Senate sits as a High Court of Impeachment in which senators consider evidence, hear witnesses, and v**e to acquit or convict the impeached official. Oh and in p**********l impeachment trials, the chief justice of the United States presides...

While everyone likes to call “impeachment a trial” that is a misnomer in that it is an “impeachment inquiry”, not trial..Look it up...

Funny I never mentioned Linda, lol

Get over yourself, it was about the right Trump wingers in general.

SSDD

I tend to fully agree with you. It is all too obvious. The more I see from Trumplicans and even the Republican party in general, the more it seems we can not trust Republicans PERIOD! Far too many questionable motives, far too much projection, deflection, disinformation, lies, dirty tricks and hyper-partisanship on display, far too many scandals, way too much banding together to do the wrong thing.

I know, Democrats have quite a few scandals as well, many actually committed and by the one being accused, but quite a few that are nothing more than smear campaigns by dirty politicians looking to smear them. What I see is more Democrats biting at the bit to call their fellow Democrats out on the misdeeds of that same fellow Democrat, they have the harsh words and they don't mince words. With Republicans, a whole different story, they tend to defend one another, when they do speak out, it tends to be mostly for show, they don't have the harsh words and absolutely no conviction, especially evident when an action comes where they can show their conviction but don't. Any Republican that steps out and shows integrity, they get labeled a "rino". How many people can TRULY attest to HONESTLY having knowledge of Democrats turning on their fellows that "step out and show integrity"?

Quite a bit I have found incorrect and misdirected, but that's just MHO.

Actually, she lays out her reasoning quite lucidly, including references, just as anyone in the legal profession does.

You portside pundits, on the other hand, lay out totally bogus innuendo and rhetoric that you "prove" with the dubious "justification" of media propaganda and sloganesque bulls**t references worthy of last year's bumper stickers.

You posted that a comment she made was petty and you addressed it to her. But it wasn’t.

straightUp Loc: California

As I said... I think she's a paralegal... At least that's what she confessed to some time ago. So no, she doesn't have the experience to be a judge or a lawyer. She has the experience to assist legal teams by preparing paperwork etc.

I don't know why there's so much fuss over the qualifications of an anonymous internet user though. For all we know she could be a housewife working part time at a diner and for all she knows, I could be a patient at a psychiatric ward. What matters are the arguments we present.

I found two faults in her last argument and left her a request to explain what she means by the 1 billion dollar blackmail that she implied would compromise a Biden presidency.

Cuda2020

Let me just say, I'd rather take a straight on insult, then have someone try an play me, manipulations is one thing I can't abide, end of story.

We do have to be cautious, leery not to be come the very beast we despise.

Cuda2020

Yes her comment was petty, and I'd tell that to anyone who said it, the rest that's how you read into it.

SSDD

Posting and NOT even bothering to know what you are posting on, how is it that I am not at all surprised? Linda has nothing to do with the conversation he commented on. This isn't the first time you commented with no clue what the conversation was that you commented on.

Hmm. I don't see Linda in the timeline, not even a mention even, could be that you are mistaken.





As for pettiness... You have the market cornered on "pettiness". I don't hold a candle to you when it comes to "pettiness". Perhaps if you weren't so petty, you could move on, not feel so compelled to obsess over little ole me. I promise you, I won't feel the least bit dejected should you suddenly not respond to me or speak of me. I doubt I will even bother noticing and I know that I won't miss you any.

SSDD

I am not a troll, unlike you. I DO back what I say with facts and evidence, you never do though. I also don't recall SWBMO doing so either, very opinionated but no facts to back it up, that is troll like. Of course that is your normal MO, to project your own faults onto others, good luck with that.



As for, "If you think SWMBO is a troll then you are a complete more on. You are the epitome of troll as you get your jollies from pretending you're smarter than others and calling them stupid."

You do not know what a troll is do you?

Perhaps since you have no clue what a troll is, maybe you shouldn't call people a troll, just a thought.

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Are you forgetting bidens call with the Ukraine president in his strong-armed blackmail tactics to the Ukrainian government to fire its top prosecutor in order to thwart an investigation into a company tied to his son, H****r B***n. ??You know, that phone call we’ve all heard, except you..That billion dollars...

Who said any thing at all, but you about Burisma??? And while h****r may or may not be a director now, he certainly was then...

I’ll leave this with you regarding your twist of things..

That dang China sure gets around, with their little sweet ownership of the bidens , eh??

On April 16, 2014, Vice President Biden met with his son’s business partner, Devon Archer, at the White House. Five days later, Vice President Biden visited Ukraine, and he soon after was described in the press as the “public face of the administration’s handling of Ukraine.” The day after his visit, on April 22, Archer joined the board of Burisma. Six days later, on April 28, British officials seized $23 million from the London bank accounts of Burisma’s owner, Mykola Zlochevsky. Fourteen days later, on May 12, H****r B***n joined the board of Burisma, and over the course of the next several years, H****r B***n and Devon Archer were paid millions of dollars from a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch for their participation on the board.
The 2014 protests in Kyiv came to be known as the Revolution of Dignity — a revolution against corruption in Ukraine. Following that revolution, Ukrainian political figures were desperate for U.S. support. Zlochevsky would have made sure relevant Ukrainian officials were well aware of H****r’s appointment to Burisma’s board as leverage. H****r B***n’s position on the board created an immediate potential conflict of interest that would prove to be problematic for both U.S. and Ukrainian officials and would affect the implementation of Ukraine policy.
The Chairmen’s investigation into potential conflicts of interest began in August 2019, with Chairman Grassley’s letter to the Department of Treasury regarding potential conflicts of interest with the Obama administration, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States
(CFIUS) approved a t***saction that gave control over Henniges, an American maker of anti-vibration technologies with military applications, to a Chinese government-owned aviation company and a China-based investment firm with established ties to the Chinese government.

One of the companies involved in the Henniges t***saction was a billion-dollar privateinvestment fund called Bohai Harvest RST (BHR). BHR was formed in November 2013 by a merger between the Chinese-government-linked firm Bohai Capital and a company named
Rosemont Seneca Partners. Rosemont Seneca was formed in 2009 by H****r B***n, the son of
then-Vice President Joe Biden, by Chris Heinz, the stepson of former Secretary of State..

I am certain you are right, I have seen it for myself.
