- President Trump's lawyers hit the Sunday political shows to push the idea that there should be no impeachment trial because the abuses of power Donald Trump is accused of are not technically crimes. #Monologue #Impeachment #Comedy

looks like one just walked all over your comment ;)

Suzy Q BWAAAHAHAAA ! Best analogy ever
"Don't raise your hand...it may be dangerous", spoken like a true dictator.
It actually sounded like he was concerned there might be a fight
@@smallbeanmusic2187 Yeah, it was like saying "Any Redskins fans in here?" in a Dallas convention. Don't raise your hand, it might be dangerous...
It's still a very revealing thing to say. Because it says that he thinks (and maybe expects) people to physically fight for him, and not even over important issues, just over "hey, that guy doesn't think the president did a great job on farming policy. let's fuck him up." It's fully in line with a lot of things he has said, where he doesn't directly encourage violence, but implies that there might be if A happens or B doesn't happen. And then when A happens and there is violence, he's like: I didn't say to do it. I just said there would be...
QemeH
He "conveniently" leaves his name off everything.... except buildings.
"Don't raise your hand, it may be dangerous"
This is what someone who is completely innocent of abuse of power sounds like. Yep.
Idiots.
That was my first reaction::blink, blink::😐

He just admitted that his die hard supporters cant be trusted to use their big boi words.

@elissa f -- Rudeness also adds nothing of value.
Acquitted or not, lets have a big turn out and vote!! don’t stay home, VOTE!!
Josiah Archangel I’m afraid he’ll not leave the White House, the Orange Utan.
Hans van Dijk oh totally. I’ve been saying that. If he’s voted out, he’ll claim widespread voter fraud, or that who knows what country “interfered.” Then he’ll call on his crazy white supremacist supports to bring their guns and stand in front of the White House to “defend” him. Scary times. Or maybe he’ll try to pull a Putin and change the rules for term limits.
Even acquitted, Impeachment remains.
Yes, I plan to vote for President Trump. Everyone has a choice.
@@jamesm2359 I'm still expecting that Russia will purposely be caught doing something in the Democrat's favour so Trump can say the results were fraudulent and try to hold power.
He's so obsessed with approval. WHY ISN'T HE OBSESSED WITH IMPROVING OUR NATION?
Ha. That isn't why he took part in that 'popularity contest' in 2016.
because he doesn't care about anything or anyone if he doesn't personally benefit
Mel The Mom but he could. He’d get genuine positive press and adoration for things he actually did right, and that’s some serious ego stroking he wouldn’t need a rally for.
@@Chunkboi that would take too much work, and he's way too ego driven, and has been surrounded by sycophants for far too long...plus he wants the adoration he gets at rallies

"It's not about crimes. It's about cleansing the office "
Lindsay Graham
December 1998
Bill Pool: This was Graham’s reasonable seeming explanation for why you, in approximately his words, “didn’t even have to have committed a crime to be impeached...because impeachment is not about punishment, it’s about cleansing the office.”
Of course, he meant if you are a Democrat. His position on impeaching a Republican president is something like, nope.
well... in this case, it's also about actual crime though..

I don't think they'd be singing the same tune if Obama " abused his power"
They would've happily impeached him for not being white, if they thought there was enough support for it.
The GOP would have lit the country on fire the moment they caught any wind of him cheating on his wife with a pornstar.
They'd rather have a power-abusing white man than any sort of black man in office, and that's just plain psychotic.

"Who are the 17%?" Any normal leader would want to win those people over. Nuh-uh, not this psychopath. For him, anyone who doesn't support him just gets threatened. Charming.
I think the farmers were there by force. Come... get help saving the family farm. So 17% had to show up. They didn't show their faces did they?
Nope. Not Trump. Anyone who crosses or criticizes him is the enemy! No mystery to why President Z said he felt no pressure from Trump; he has a country of people he's trying to keep alive and needs our help, if he were to tell the truth, Trump would cut them off! President Z isn't stupid, he knows exactly who Trump is; a transactional, vindictive, apathetic, reckless, hateful, and wholly insecure little man who's ego is incredibly fragile. No way would he ever say he felt pressured, but we can see.thatbwas the case by his actions. If he didn't feel pressured to make that announcement on CNN, he wouldn't have immediately cancelled it the moment he found out Trump got busted and released the aid. That's all you need to know.

That's why he'll lose

That's a good description 😃 him sitting there staring at that map on the table tops the lot, It was hard to watch
@Drake9Draconiangar No. It's definitely the hypocritical republicans that makes me sick. A party that follows "news" from publications that register as "entertainment" so they don't have to held accountable for lies and misinformation. A party that blindly repeats we're #1, then omits the reasons why. A party so far right that they call their own past policies socialist, and would hate Jesus of Nazareth if he was around today.

Stop with these slanders !!! Trump has done nothing wrong, quite the contrary. He dedicated his life to protect our great nation. He became our guardian, the shield that protects the innocent. He doesn't do it for a crown, he doesn't do it for glory, no. He does it out of love for his country. A true patriot. What a humble man he is. And you? What are you doing? You accuse him of things he never did without the slightest evidence. If only you could see the thruth.

@Mats K When you have TDS, you hear what you want to hear.
Impeachment isn't an affront to the constitution because impeachment is a part of the constitution.
"The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
- US Constitution Article 2, Section 4
Anyone who says impeachment is an affront to the constitution either hasn't read the constitution and/or doesn't like dear leader Trump being held accountable.

But bullet pen peolsi said he is impeached for ever
@@intomusic7074 he is. Now whether he is removed from office is yet to be seen. But the impeachment cannot be removed from record. Just as the other 3 presidents before him, Trump will always be a president who was impeached during his presidency

@@Coastfog never watched that show, but sure, why not?
The irony is that WSJ didn't conduct that poll yet Trump is giving them credit for it. I also wouldn't put much stock in Farm Journal's poll that only gets a little over 1000 farmers to participate.

Long live Sir Terry. Lord Vetinari, Commander Vimes, we miss you.
No.
“A lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on.”
C. H. Spurgeon, Gems from Spurgeon (1859).
An earlier version appears in the Portland (Me.) Gazette, Sept. 5, 1820: “Falsehood will fly from Maine to Georgia, while truth is pulling her boots on.”
Still earlier, Jonathan Swift wrote in The Examiner, Nov. 9, 1710: “Falsehood flies, and the truth comes limping after it.”
So...Swift, anyone? Would anyone else like to stand on the shoulders of Swift and...maybe say something cool? While knowing whose shoulders you stand on?
I don’t even have to stop to think where I was when Trump was inaugurated.

So basically this is arguing that this particular example of unethical conduct is so unprecedented that nobody can come up with the correct label for it, and therefore we should let it slide
Not just let it slide, they want this to be the new norm. Their raising their kids with this telling them its normal.
Welcome to the world, as according to the Republican Party. No need for honesty, decency, or common sense, you don't need those things, just a cult-like obedience for the Orange Overlord.
This is like that Eddie Izzard bit where he says something like "You kill 20 people, you're a bad person. You kill 20,000 people and we almost have to give you a medal, it's such an absurd number!"
That's what they're trying to do with Trump's abuse of power. It's such an absurdly massive example of it, that they can't defend it and don't know what else to do with it other than applaud the balls (or stupidity) of whoever is capable of it.

It's not a compliment, it's just a statement of fact. He is the President of the United States, that office holds a tremendous amount of power and influence and commands the greatest military in the world. Though in fairness, he's so inept that he's incapable of utilizing that power properly, so I guess he has the potential to be the most powerful person in the world, but he could never actually wield it.

Alex Thelander ...who were treated illegally.
Alex Thelander aside from the fact that seeking political asylum in the 🇺🇸 is an entirely legal process, what’s being done to them is a far more terrible, grotesque crime against humanity then the crime they are accused of, no? Which until Trump’s zero tolerance policy towards humans, was regarded as merely a civil infraction, misdemeanour at worst. America was built by immigrants but if you think they’re different because some legal goalposts have been moved, you need to check yourself and any bullshit racist nazi creed you’re adhering to. As far as the Nazi government was concerned, killing Jews was legal too.
@@atb89 Once again, it's completely legal to come to this country and apply for asylum. It's also legal for them to come here and present themselves to the first officer they see once they're in America in order to apply for asylum. They haven't done anything wrong.
Besides, even if they did do something wrong, what monster believes that its okay to do permanent damage to young brains in order to punish their parents for coming here. They traveled too far under duress with their kids in tow. That doesn't give us the right to ignore domestic and International law. It doesn't give us the right to hold them for an indeterminate amount of time, to take their kids away and have no idea how to reunite them or to put them into deplorable conditions.
If only America had enough backbone to jettison the evil and immoral crackpot who is doing this to thousands of people. Who knew that Americans would stand by, yet again, while we stick thousands of innocent people are abused by our government. I thought that we would stand up when we realized how lousy the conditions are and how wildly illegal the actions our President was taking really are.
However, we still have yet to wake up!

The farmers had it tough, Trump said he wanted to see hands of the 17%.. the whole room should've walked out. A guy with a big cowboy hat saying "Hold my Udder" as they left hahaha.
The bastard's mug will forever shame the WH hallway.
It'll be taken down and burned.

I'm in Nothern Europe, just refreshed youtube and glad to see this video on it's way up, internet is really slow, I don't think anyone here understand what's going on across the Atlantic, I've listened to an audiobook of the fall of Constantinople, really helped to put a perspective on things.

well, this is how your system is set up:
1. A political spectrum that is limited to just two parties means the country is always split in two. one in power and the other in the opposition. one ''bad'' one ''good'' ''us'' vs ''them'' are 320 million Americans really represented by just these two parties?
instead of having to work together to form governments. or gain each other's support. it forces these two parties to be adversaries
2. a majority vote can be overruled by the Electoral College.
winning the majority vote (or popular vote) would mean in any other democracy around the world, they would have been president/prime minister. yet this system seems to be designed to work against the voter. a political get out of jail free card.
forcing the candidate with the majority vote to stand down and the candidate with the minority vote to run for office without the full support of the people. a presidency with a weak foundation.
3. a president is limited to just two terms. even when their approval ratings are still high, the president is willing and fit enough to do 4 more years and they have the voter behind them. the system forces them to stand down. not the voter or the president themselves decide when it's time to step down.
4. when a president breaks the rules/law the system seems to be designed to protect them. in other democracies (those with more parties) one of the government parties might cancel support for the president/prime minister (or the opposition might file a vote of no confidence) collapsing their majority. and ask the voter for a vote of what should be done. (a new government) but because the US is limited to two parties an impeachment hearing and trial are needed. while other democracies would have returned to the voter, the US is spending months figuring what to do and potentially months with a president that might be inept. might have broken the rules and laws. months where more damage might be done.
5. an impeachment trial is completely pointless in a two-party political system. if the president's (the accused) party is big enough within the senate than they can simply overrule this whole trail. (or easily 'win' the trail when the accuser's party is big enough) meaning it's completely pointless to even attempt a trail like this.
basically, the jury is filled with the friends of the accused. fair or another get out of jail card?
no system is perfect. but this one seems very odd to me.
What system do you suggest we have. You make good points but what's the answer? I believe America would have enjoyed 4 more years of Obama. He was so adept in healing the economy for real and he had a sense of humor that didn't hurt anyone. He had class and character. We have someone that's the opposite whose numbers are less lying about the economy among so many other things he couldn't be bothered to accomplish. No trousers Don has awakened us to what we can no longer take for granted. Seems nothing is driving down his poll numbers and he seems to be empowered to do even more lawless acts. No one can tell me his base is doing better financially or any other area of their lives, so why are they following him?
To reply to your points...
1. That's an issue created by the American people, not the system itself.
2. That was precisely the intent. Prevailing wisdom of the time was that the average American would be too stupid or too ignorant to make good choices, so a failsafe was put into place to prevent the population at large from electing someone unfit for office out of ignorance. You could argue that was a poor choice, and that it's backfired, but it's not as though there's no logical merit to the idea.
3. This actually didn't used to be the case. Franklin Roosevelt was elected president for 4 terms. For no real reason, changes to the law were made afterward to prevent that.
4. The system itself was designed specifically to give as little power as possible to all members of government, at every stage. Decades of propaganda and societal change caused a shift in public perception to the pseudo-fascist mentality we have today, and that is what really defends corruption.
5. In practice you're correct, but there are specific items in the Constitution that were put in place to make the system work in theory. For example, Senators are constitutionally mandated to serve as impartial jurors in an impeachment trial... logically, this makes sense. The ability to remove your own bias from your decision making is what makes a person qualified to lead in the first place. In theory that's fine, but it fails to account for human nature, and thus fails in practice.
@@dontmisunderstand6041 every system designed by man will have human failings. the path to improved government involves recognizing problems and then changing the system. right now there are greedy selfish people in power and they are quite happy with a system that rewards their greed. controlling the media and saying news doesn't have to be true make it impossible to recognize what needs to be changed and causes confusion and division. I don't think any number of parties is really the key.
I think you meant to say "get out of jail free card" ??? Like in the game monopoly.... or maybe you meant cart....
@@kristin4847
Indeed I did. that was a funny goof. I fixed it, but now I'm curious to see what a 'jail free cart' would look like!

What I love about the internet age is that we can ACTUALLY have two-faced lunatics side-by-side, debating, and arguing with THEMSELVES.
How do these people do a complete U-TURN. Don’t they have any ethics at all let alone memory of how their mouth “speakath!”

Yeah, like impeachment. Whoops! Oh well.

Sample letter to your Senators on Removal Trial of Trump in the Senate: As a constituent, I demand that you speak out loudly and firmly against the Senate rules resolution. I'm faxing you to communicate that to go forward with the proposed rules is to be complicit in a cover-up more appalling than Watergate, not to mention a violation of the oath they took to protect our democracy and the constitution. Our democracy, constitution, people, nay, the whole of the country are depending on you. Thanks for your time and attention.
