@@Matt-fl8uy I wasn't aware of them using it before, if they have then it is no longer as much of a precedent, just something to use only when strictly necessary. That said, we are indeed at that point and i never questioned that they have the authority, just pointing out that politicians going after each other in such a way can at worst lead to abuses such as, if you vote against my bill you get jailed. scary thought right?
Ryan Piercy It’s not a dangerous precedent. If you do not respect the authority of court, you are found in contempt of court and can be jailed. If you do not respect Congress, you should be put in jail. America is becoming a rogue state. If people are not made to respect the law, America will descend into civil war.
@@jpd8739 if its been done before it basically doesn't mean much as a precedent, second the difference is that politics are inevitably involved when politicians are judge, jury, and defendant. If we do too much it will look like congress can jail whoever, whenever, for not following their orders. Sounds like another form of dictatorial tyranny to me. Like I said though, thats worst case scenario.
Can we all as a whole put our differences aside for now and take this mad man and his cronies out of the House? If you truly care about the constitution and taking cars of one another, please Vote.
Republicans don't care however... they are beholden to their corporate and special interest donors (NRA, Big Oil, Big Pharma, Evangelicals/Israel)... if they ignore the agendas of these groups they will lose power and money... So, they only seek election in order to be re-elected so that they and their cohorts can continue to bleed the system for money.

Writers of series like the west wing or designated survivor would never have been able to write plot twist like this. No one would have thought this kind of mess could be plausible.
Actually, they wrote several plot points that fit this bill. Plus Martin Sheen kinda looks like Trump. Both played characters who came to power in a gridlocked Congress, winning the electoral college vote over the popular vote, and dealing with Russia’s interference in the Middle East poorly. The main difference is that Martin Sheens character was at least inclined towards hearing intelligent advice. Both in real life and in the West Wing, fake presidents talked about the conflicts with WH press corps, complaining about the non stop 24 hr cycle that reduces information and nuance in the name of content production. It was so eerie to see the plot points happen that it gave me an associative recall around this thing I’ve heard called predictive programming. Generate an idea, use it in a story, and see it happen in real life. New ideas can’t be recalled once they are out there, and some ideas are put out there for precisely that reason. To skip their way into public conversation and consciousness and distract from your own idea of what reality should be.
Fun Fact: Lawrence O'Donnell (The Last Word, msnbc & former Congressional aide (?) was a consultant for West Wing. Man, I loved that series! I stalk it online, waiting for the DVD collection to maybe, one day, fall into my price range.
Just imagine, Trump having to answer questions about general knowledge and civics, _without assistance._ While a verbal questionnaire would just have him prevaricating, watching him complete a written exam would be equal parts laughable and pathetic.

I can’t believe he’s still president. Life is crazy smh. This is the person who represents all of us as a country and he just opened up a door that will never be closed. All the future presidents now know how to get away with stuff while barely staying away from breaking the law.
That is actually the reason to "change the rules". Though honestly, we have rules that prevent this. It is just touchy to enforce the laws when he has a rabid base of middle school educated racists with assault weapons. I think the Dems have takes so long to get him out because they want to appear above reproach (keep him contained and wait him out), and also get more people aware of the need to remove or at least not elect him again.
The door can be closed and fixed. It's just going to be alot of work for our next president. I give one thing to trump, he has made ALOT more people interested in watching what ALL politicians are up to. Our government is going to be highly scrutinized by the American people from now on. I hope we learn from the dumbass in chief about what NOT to vote for.
No way. The next Democratic president will be impeached and removed 126 days into office for alluding to Monica Lewinski in a tweet, because Republicans are nothing if not duplicitous crooks who will look for any reason to put their party before the interests of the country. And the Democrats will let it happen, because they're spineless idiots who don't want to appear to be "unreasonable" by holding anyone to a real standard. These subpoenas are two years late.
I’d love to see him be required to take a “Knowledge of the Constitution” quiz broadcast of live TV... should be a requirement of all presidential candidates that make a point of talking about it to the american public.
There are millions and millions of Americans who believe in creationism. Scientologists. Flat earthers. Conspiracy theorists. KKK. Can't say I'm that surprised that people are dumb enough to support Trump.
This is on par with Nixon's, "I'm saying when the president does it, it's not illegal" statement. Problem is he has had way more than one of those moments.
Trump's dream of being the second coming of Reagan has been shattered...he's definitely looking like the second coming of Nixon, though. Looking forward to the continued firings of "disloyal" people, who are ACTUALLY trying to protect and defend the constitution. The problem is, Trump is identifying HIMSELF as the Constitution.
Lew Decker I assure this is not meant to be confrontational, I’m not very political. But you’re not the first person to say “he’s done great things.” But then I ask, what great things as he done?

From the US Constitution :- Article 1(The House) , Section 2 "The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment." Article 1 (The Senate) , Section 3 "The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present." And "Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law." A number of things to note; 1) the House has the absolute Constitutional right and power to undertake an Impeachment Investigation. 2) Under Oath, the Senate must, if directed by The House, Try cases of Impeachment. - the Oath statement is important as it reflects that the Senate must uphold the values of the Constitution above party political values. The evidence must be judged on it's value. 3) If Impeached, the President is removed from office. If the President has broken ANY federal crimes, the President is liable to indictment for those crimes and taken to trial and judged as a common citizen. Any protection offered by the seat of the President are no longer applicable.
I agree with your first 2 summary points, but not the third. Clinton was impeached but not removed from office. Impeachment is just the investigation. A grand jury needs to find Trump guilty first and then he can be removed from office. Assuming Trump doesn't do something insane like declare martial law or a state of emergency. That shouldn't work, but I wouldn't put it past him to try.
@@osmium6832 That is incorrect. The House investigates wrong doing and if they choose, can then call for an Impeachment Trial. This trial is carried out by the Senate. It is overseen by the Chief Justice but plays no role in the decision making. The members of the Senate act as a Jury would in the the "normal judicial system. A Grand Jury plays no role in an Impeachment. The members of the house present their evidence to the Senate for the Senate to decide on. An Impeachment, though similar in process is a completely separate action to a criminal court. It does not follow the exact same process and the notion of "due process" does not need apply. It is an act only possible by Congress. My original post IS NOT my personal opinion. It IS IN FACT US Constitutional law. This is how your US system works and I am finding a hell of a lot of US citizens don't even know how their own laws and Constitution work and that is sad and foolish. It leads to people being sheep and simply following the leader
@@tim_buck_too9126 I am no expert on the matter and vaguely remember a grand jury being involved during the Clinton impeachment, but that was unrelated to the impeachment process, so I was wrong on that. However, I've recently listened to a lot of lawyers and politicians on both sides clarify that impeachment is part of the process of removing someone from office, but doesn't automatically mean they're out once it's done. It's like being sued doesn't mean the other person gets whatever they want from you. It just means you have to defend yourself in court. In this case, the president has to defend himself in front of the senate. You said "3) If Impeached, the President is removed from office." and that's what I took issue with. That's not a forgone conclusion. I literally provided a counterexample from the past 20 years. He has to be found to have done something criminal enough to warrant removing him from office. It doesn't matter how guilty he is or how obvious the evidence is. He will be tried mostly by republicans (they currently make up the majority of the senate), who have a vested interest in keeping him in power. A substantial amount of them have to agree that removing him is more important than the embarrassment that their political party will suffer. They have defended every insane thing he's said and done up to this point, which is why I am concerned that even after impeachment, he will still be in office once it's all over. In a perfect world, we'd have an unbiased party try him, but we don't.
@@osmium6832 To Clarify, the House investigates and if they believe the evidence is strong they then present a notice of Impeachment to the Senate. So there are 2 parts 1) an Impeachment investigation and 2) the formal Impeachment Trial. IF the Senate finds the charges proven, the President IS removed from office. No if's or buts, no appeal, no nothing. IF those matters that the Impeachment was based upon relate to Federal Criminal Statues, the "former" President is no longer protected from criminal charges and those can be brought upon them as a matter of criminal law. Yes, the Republicans hold the power in the Senate BUT during an Impeachment trial they are held by Oath to uphold the Constitution above partisan political views. A Senate member who is found to not uphold that oath, can themselves face an Impeachment process.
@@osmium6832 what you have to understand is that an Impeachment IS NOT a "legal" process as defined in criminal codes. It is a process of Government and the House has the sole right to call for Impeachment. There are no rules laid out in the Constitution as to how an Impeachment "plays out". Essentially the Speaker of the House can set the rules as they see fit. Is it fair? That's a whole different debate.

I'd be more shocked if he willingly and knowingly cooperated. Him releasing his call transcript doesn't count because he legitimately believed it would absolve him.

It’s not a dangerous precedent. If you do not respect the authority of court, you are found in contempt of court and can be jailed. If you do not respect Congress, you should be put in jail.
America is becoming a rogue state. If people are not made to respect the law, America will descend into civil war.
@@jpd8739 if its been done before it basically doesn't mean much as a precedent, second the difference is that politics are inevitably involved when politicians are judge, jury, and defendant.

Like I said though, thats worst case scenario.

Vote red, vote blue... It's all the same
Republicans don't care however... they are beholden to their corporate and special interest donors (NRA, Big Oil, Big Pharma, Evangelicals/Israel)... if they ignore the agendas of these groups they will lose power and money... So, they only seek election in order to be re-elected so that they and their cohorts can continue to bleed the system for money.

When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two-thirds of the Members present.
Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States; but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.

Actually, they wrote several plot points that fit this bill. Plus Martin Sheen kinda looks like Trump. Both played characters who came to power in a gridlocked Congress, winning the electoral college vote over the popular vote, and dealing with Russia’s interference in the Middle East poorly. The main difference is that Martin Sheens character was at least inclined towards hearing intelligent advice. Both in real life and in the West Wing, fake presidents talked about the conflicts with WH press corps, complaining about the non stop 24 hr cycle that reduces information and nuance in the name of content production. It was so eerie to see the plot points happen that it gave me an associative recall around this thing I’ve heard called predictive programming. Generate an idea, use it in a story, and see it happen in real life. New ideas can’t be recalled once they are out there, and some ideas are put out there for precisely that reason.

From the US Constitution :-
Article 1(The House) , Section 2
"The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment."
Article 1 (The Senate) , Section 3
"The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present."
And
"Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law."
A number of things to note;
1) the House has the absolute Constitutional right and power to undertake an Impeachment Investigation.
2) Under Oath, the Senate must, if directed by The House, Try cases of Impeachment. - the Oath statement is important as it reflects that the Senate must uphold the values of the Constitution above party political values. The evidence must be judged on it's value.
3) If Impeached, the President is removed from office. If the President has broken ANY federal crimes, the President is liable to indictment for those crimes and taken to trial and judged as a common citizen. Any protection offered by the seat of the President are no longer applicable.
I agree with your first 2 summary points, but not the third. Clinton was impeached but not removed from office. Impeachment is just the investigation. A grand jury needs to find Trump guilty first and then he can be removed from office. Assuming Trump doesn't do something insane like declare martial law or a state of emergency. That shouldn't work, but I wouldn't put it past him to try.
@@osmium6832 That is incorrect. The House investigates wrong doing and if they choose, can then call for an Impeachment Trial. This trial is carried out by the Senate. It is overseen by the Chief Justice but plays no role in the decision making. The members of the Senate act as a Jury would in the the "normal judicial system. A Grand Jury plays no role in an Impeachment.
The members of the house present their evidence to the Senate for the Senate to decide on. An Impeachment, though similar in process is a completely separate action to a criminal court. It does not follow the exact same process and the notion of "due process" does not need apply. It is an act only possible by Congress. My original post IS NOT my personal opinion. It IS IN FACT US Constitutional law. This is how your US system works and I am finding a hell of a lot of US citizens don't even know how their own laws and Constitution work and that is sad and foolish. It leads to people being sheep and simply following the leader
@@tim_buck_too9126 I am no expert on the matter and vaguely remember a grand jury being involved during the Clinton impeachment, but that was unrelated to the impeachment process, so I was wrong on that. However, I've recently listened to a lot of lawyers and politicians on both sides clarify that impeachment is part of the process of removing someone from office, but doesn't automatically mean they're out once it's done. It's like being sued doesn't mean the other person gets whatever they want from you. It just means you have to defend yourself in court. In this case, the president has to defend himself in front of the senate.
You said "3) If Impeached, the President is removed from office." and that's what I took issue with. That's not a forgone conclusion. I literally provided a counterexample from the past 20 years. He has to be found to have done something criminal enough to warrant removing him from office. It doesn't matter how guilty he is or how obvious the evidence is. He will be tried mostly by republicans (they currently make up the majority of the senate), who have a vested interest in keeping him in power. A substantial amount of them have to agree that removing him is more important than the embarrassment that their political party will suffer. They have defended every insane thing he's said and done up to this point, which is why I am concerned that even after impeachment, he will still be in office once it's all over. In a perfect world, we'd have an unbiased party try him, but we don't.
@@osmium6832 To Clarify, the House investigates and if they believe the evidence is strong they then present a notice of Impeachment to the Senate.
So there are 2 parts 1) an Impeachment investigation and 2) the formal Impeachment Trial. IF the Senate finds the charges proven, the President IS removed from office. No if's or buts, no appeal, no nothing. IF those matters that the Impeachment was based upon relate to Federal Criminal Statues, the "former" President is no longer protected from criminal charges and those can be brought upon them as a matter of criminal law. Yes, the Republicans hold the power in the Senate BUT during an Impeachment trial they are held by Oath to uphold the Constitution above partisan political views. A Senate member who is found to not uphold that oath, can themselves face an Impeachment process.
@@osmium6832 what you have to understand is that an Impeachment IS NOT a "legal" process as defined in criminal codes. It is a process of Government and the House has the sole right to call for Impeachment. There are no rules laid out in the Constitution as to how an Impeachment "plays out". Essentially the Speaker of the House can set the rules as they see fit. Is it fair? That's a whole different debate.
The president is a master baker. What a time to be alive.
QAnon is a hoax, just like Pizzagate and your deep state conspiracies.

When he says "I feel very strongly about ..." then he's bullshitting you.
It's one of his phrases when he lies.
I swear this guy has more tells than words in his vocabulary. (tell = something that tells you when the person is bluffing)
When Trump isn’t tweeting... his phone spurs are acting out.
When Trump isn't tweeting there are less headaches. 🤕
When Trump isn’t Tweeting, he’s watching Fox and waiting for the opportune moment to hit send.

It took me a second to cotton on to the second joke there and I love it.
I can see the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff trying to explain his role to Chump and just giving up. "You know what sir, forget all I just said. I'm the top general" 🤦♂️
It seems that "Judge" Pirro is not at all familiar with the Constitution.
