MI GOP Rep Justin Amash "Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct"

[Polish-Hammer]

Thoughts and prayers.

Has that ever worked?

 

[tinselwolverine]

If that's his conclusion, he should by all means march on over to Tlaib's office, the anti-Semite from Dearborn, to co-sponsor an impeachment bill. I truly hope they do impeach. Can't wait to watch that spectacle and the ensuing Senate trial.

Has that ever worked?

We know it hasn?t always.

No way to know if it hasn?t ever.

boy, if they do vote to impeach, I expect a lot of Depends to be soiled that day...

Biden and Sanders might cream theirs but otherwise, no. Trumpsters of all ages, colors, genders and orientations are in the "bring it on" camp.

Yah.... looks like this thoughts and prayers didn't work.

What is the second photo? I'm not familiar with it.

Former Nazi concentration camp in Poland. I forget the name, it's long.

Yah...this corroborates the first sentence that you quoted.

So what?

I don?t remember that the Senate trial for Clinton was televised.

No, but the Dem victory celebration was, complete with risers and HMI's in place and all the Dems had to to was assume their marks.

Been following Amash's career & public statements for a while now, mostly on twitter, but he's been in the news occassionally.

He seems to be a genuinely principled libertarian/conservative - more so than Rand or Ron Paul. And I say this as someone who doesn't agree with his views at all.

Will be interesting to see how the GOP kneecaps him or knifes him in the back when he doesn't fall in line and keep his mouth shut about impeachment from here on out.

 

[Michchamp]

that didn't take long... Trump called Amash a "loser" on Sunday and claimed he only made the remarks to get attention (but Amash has been openly critical of Trump since Trump took office, maybe even earlier). Calling someone a loser does not refute their charge that you committed impeachable offenses.

And some GOP benchwarmer in western MI has announced he'll challenge Amash in the next primary.

 

[Spartanmack]

Does this make Amash a 'R.I.N.O'? I remember that label being thrown around a lot during the election in 2016 for people that didn't support Trump but were generally conservative.

that term predates Trump by at least a few elections, if not longer. It's definitely been used to describe guys like McConnell, the VA senator that got primaried whose name I can never remember, Romney, etc.

Edit: Eric Cantor was the VA senator RINO. thanks google.

including yours?

 

[Spartanmack]

Who could say one way or the other? In 21st century America, it is not possible to weigh evidence and come to a conclusion!

the Attorney General would disagree. He would also disagree on Justin Amash's first two principal conclusions and from what I've read Bob Mueller would probably also disagree with #1. It's not clear whether Mueller would agree or disagree on #2.

Amash gets a standing ovation in Grand Rapids, MI (the Red side of teh state!) while explaining his position and calling for Trump's impeachment. link.

Despite what she's claimed, Pelosi is fucking the Democrats chances next year by holding back the dogs. Plenty of people know how sleazy he is, and are not okay with it.

I really don't understand why Republitards hate her so much... she's consistently on their side on almost everything they claim they like.

They like Billionaires? SHE likes Billionaires!
They hate unions? SHE hates unions!
They don't want Democrats to govern and exercise power? SHE doesn't want to either!
They like spending >10% of their income on private "health insurance" that still requires $1,000's more out of pocket, denies claims, and doesn't cover large #'s of health care providers? SHE thinks that's how it should be too!

Other than tepid support for abortion and gay marriage, which you can find among many of the more moderate Republicans anyway, Pelosi is your lady.

Nancy is so rabid for abortion I'd be surprised that her next campaign promotion does not show her in a smock with a set of forceps in her hand.

Sounds kind of half assed.

Why wouldn?t there be a fake blood dripping, fake fetus beings held in the forceps?

Go big or go home, ya know?

I suppose, but Nancy does not have the courage to do that.

Michigan Repubican Rep. Justin Amash announced Monday evening he was leaving the influential conservative House Freedom Caucus, just weeks after he attracted the ire of his colleagues by arguing in Twitter posts that President Trump had committed impeachable offenses, Fox News has learned.

Amash, speaking at a Freedom Caucus board meeting, insisted his departure was voluntary. Amash said he did not want to continue to be a “further distraction” for the caucus, which is chaired by North Carolina GOP Rep. Mark Meadows.

A distraction?

Who pays attention to the Freedom Caucus?

This is the first I?ve heard of the Freedom Caucus in a long time.
