Impeachment

[Diamondback]

I don't give a damn if we have some minor differences, we are twin sons of different mothers. That just want to be left alone, but are being poked enough by the Marxist Democratic party, that we are getting tired of it. If it keeps up we are going to get pissed off.

Then watch out!

I'm just a deskbound Geeky Poindexter (seriously, my day job is studying and analyzing old ship plans for a wargame publisher), but someday, guys, the drinks are on me.

Wargaming?

No, I freelance for a little tabletop publisher--if you've ever seen Ares Games's Sails of Glory line of Napoleonic ship miniatures, the Bonhomme Richard in that was my pet project.

The only alcohol I ever drank that I enjoyed the taste that was a liquor was that Japanese stuff, Suntory whiskey. It’s expensive as all get out but smooth. Certainly not an everyday thing (for me anyways).

One day soon we must get together, I will bring 2 bottles of Suntory HIBIKI 21 year old whiskey.

Then you can chose Stoli from the bottle or Suntory from the bottle.

Once again, I am amazed at the different skill sets and knowledge bases of the M4C community. For every complaint about the GD posts, there are 10 instances of true knowledge that you can't Google or find on Wikipedia.

Funny thing is, in that crowd I'm a Johnny-come-lately, brought in specifically to view things through fresh eyes--WWII in the air is more my specialty, and my previous gig in the industry was consulting on a line of WWII naval miniatures. But yeah, we have a truly diverse crew here, and a lotta folks who've been blessed to have the chance to live a small slice of our dreams.

Now it is the Dems complaining about the procedure....

In the words of the Zen Master, “Don’t start nothing, won’t be nothing”

Can’t cheat and then cry foul too. Nobody wanted an impeachment trial and now that people are gonna drop hammer on BS they say it’s “unfair”.

C’est la guerre

They are ****ing enraged, incensed, that McConnell and Graham have said the trial is DOA in the Senate.

The House democrats are apoplectic. Nevermind that Mr. Clinton's WH legal staff conspired with (worked with? Assisted?) the democrats during his impeachment proceedings. Odd how when MCConnell pledges the same they are attacked as biased and impartial. How could anyone NOT see this trial landing flat in the Senate? Those chickens are coming home to roost.

The DEms will next say that the Senate is tainted and we can't have them try the case, so we need to send it to the Supreme court and, of course, the Trump picks need to recuse themselves.

Don't laugh, you know some low info Progressive is thinking it. At the very least trying to get enough GOP senate members to recuse themselves so that they can get 2/3 of the voting senators (not 2/3 of the Senate) to vote for impeachment...

Look back at all the Electoral College shenanigans and craziness that went on, you think anything is out of their ability to make it up?

And the campaign rally cry is that if teh DEMs controlled the senate, they would have been able to impeach because they could have burned through the GOP cover up....

If TRump wins in 2020 and loses the senate and the dems keep the House, impeachment will become a revolving door.
