    Well now, *that* ought to clap shut the mouths of our more enthusiastic TRE45ON followers. Assuming they can read it, of course. They should consider themselves lucky that their assclown was only impeached for obstruction and abuse of power.

    But it is irrelevant. Few Republican senators will vote to convict and a few Democrats will vote to acquit.

    Define 'common sense'. Remember, you don't to speak for anyone else. You only get to speak for you.

    Define 'obstruction of justice'. Define 'abuse of power'. These are not crimes. They are meaningless buzzwords.

    There is supposed to be a presumption of innocence in this country. That basic tenet applies whether you are a brick layer or the President of the United States. You don't leave your civil liberties at the doorstep for Congress to trample just because you decided to run for President.

    Try different arguments. If what Trump did was so illegal and so obvious, you wouldn't need him to help you convict him.
    Nixon released the papers. Clinton testified under oath. I am sure you were happy as hell about Bill. Trump not only refused to testify, after saying he would be happy to, he told everybody he knew to not respond to subpoenas and court orders and do not provide paperwork.
    Can you understand the difference? To most people it is blatant and scary.
    Trump is blocking the evidence. He does not have that right.

    No one is required to prove their innocence.

    INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY

    Why do you hate the very foundation that our entire Justice System is based on?

    Donald Supporters,
    Can you help me out with something? I was wondering if you could explain to me why Donald and his staff steadfastly refused to release any and all relevant documents and refused to allow key witnesses to testify at Donald's impeachment hearings in the House and will now do the same for the Senate trial.
    Isn't that kind of strange, considering, as we all know, how incredibly and amazingly innocent he is and how perfect his shake-down--as some would call it-- call to the Ukrainian leader was? Well, that's a strange sort of innocent, if you ask me. Shouldn't Donald, if he is incredibly and amazingly innocent and has done nothing wrong, want to prove his innocence by allowing complete transparency? Yet it's the furthest thing from transparency that could be imagined. Isn't that odd?
    And isn't it peculiar that Moscow Mitch (as some cynical liberal-bastard critics might call him) has already said that an innocent verdict in the Senate is a foregone conclusion and that, by the way, he's working closely with the White House to coordinate a common defense strategy? And this despite that Mitch swore an oath to defend the Constitution and to be an impartial juror?
    Well, that strikes me as strange. Really, really strange. How about you?
    No Walter I don't think it is strange at all. He released the phone call record and that would have ended any reasonable concern. Fuck the dim wit Democrat party of slavery, kkk, and jim crow... burp...

    That doesn't support your assertion. Flourescent Green Dildo Fallacy.

    I know what the Constitution says, but "high crimes and (high) misdemeanors" is not meant to include only behavior which is against criminal statutes.

    In Federalist #65 Hamilton tells us the framer's thoughts on impeachment.

    "The subjects of its jurisdiction are those offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust."

    A crime is needed, dumbass. No crime is listed in any article of impeachment.
