Dont just wring your hands in despair: It is not too late to censure Schumer for his childish rant on the steps of the Supreme Court. His 'temper tantrum' encouraging violence against sitting Supreme Court Justices was a disgusting display of unbridled childish behavior, not even fitting for a juvenile, much less a U S Senator. The non-response by the Senate is equally disturbing! Congress is busy feasting on the carcass of a dead, dying or diseased government. Thanks a lot!
Exactly 💯 he incited violence and made threats . I have contacted as many republicans in the house to tell them to start charging Schumer pelosi AOC schiff waters etc they can they have the power but all they do is talk talk talk man democrats sure go after republicans for things like this .
If Trump had done that he would be in jail
Impeach schumer!!
Not upholding your oath of office is not a policy difference.....it is an impeachable offense
4 times higher than it was 3 painful years ago. You have displayed your complete disdain for this country and for all citizens.
I learned today that the Senate can ignore the Constitution of the United States, without any repercussions.
What other rights can they trample on? Without any consequences?
Well, they already crossed the rubicon, years ago.
Been there, done that.
Grade school kids are coerced into mutilation surgeries, but that was only possible once 99% of people were so spineless they would support the lie that marriage and gender were "redefined" so as to "go along to get along!"
Police defunded, kangaroo courts, compromised elections, Joe Biden in the White House when we all know he lost, masks and lockdowns, anarchy, civil war, invasion and the worst totalitarianism the human imagination can conceive of and worse after this life.
Everything else that's come or will come on the heels of that Moral Self Destruct by that large a percentage of people, everything that comes after, it's just cause and effect, pure and simple.
There was ZERO constitutional basis for the impeachment. Constitutional experts of all political persuasions, left, right and center, have widely criticized and ridiculed the effort by the GOP. You cannot and should not impeach a Cabinet Secretary for implementing the policies of his boss, the President, because you do not like those policies. Impeachment was never meant to be a tool to resolve public policy debates. The House GOP ignored the Constitutions in starting this clown show, so the Senate doing the same to end it is 100% fair.
TY Senator Lee!!
Michael you are 100% correct
They should have never let those Bills for foreign aid pass before doing something about our own border. It all starts right here!
Then TRY !!! all impeachments...Alejandro Mayorkas...Joe Biden 🤬🤬
Why can’t congress override a bad Executive Order if it puts national security at risk? A president can veto a bill that congress passed why can’t congress reverse his executive orders? I’m really curious about that. Thanks.
Because everyone had a chance to vote for the president and we can only vote for our own states house and senate members.
All the wrong people in all the right jobs,,,,
In other words, the criminals have the keys!
These people couldn’t fix a broken popsicle stick
Is there a way to fix a broken popsicle stick??
@@elnessify throw it away and get another popsicle stick. Do you know how cheap popsicle sticks are?
Although the US government would authorize payment to fix a popsicle stick at 1,000x markup with taxpayer money
They're the most "mature and professional" adolescents with 3rd Grade minds in the world.
Of course they are!
We have a society which sculpted "acceptable" mindsets such that 99% of people think it's better to "go along to get along" with the lie that marriage and gender were "redefined" and therefore indirectly support that lie!
Of course D.C. is a madhouse, it's a thumbnail of Americans as a whole!
😂😂😂😂😂
remember that this will come back to haunt you, now no one will EVER get impeached again if that party has the senate
Oh they'll be sure to impeach and prosecute anyone who tells the truth about them and what they do.
Only people who the Democtats disagree with will be impeached.
Reason he was smirking throughout the entire first proceeding, he already knew that they were going to give him a pass.
There was no wronging do what did you expect?
@@MikeW165Screwmer refused to honor his oath of office. Are you aware that's wrong? Communists don't follow the rules or laws.
Who paid for this verdict -- cartels? Oligarchs?
.
I believe all the democrats are getting paid by the cartels
Could be Nazi Soros. He's been quite busy though lately with bankrolling Bragg, James, Willis, Carroll, Abrams, Ergonon, Chutkan, Kaplan, & McAfee.
So if I claim to be a democrat and a cop pulls me over can I just refuse to accept the ticket.
Do it. Bet
Probably just make sure to show your hands at all times and have your phone on full record!!!
Start spewing gibberish that sounds like a foreign language and be sure to throw the words illegal, democrat, asylum, and death to America in there and they'll not only let you go for any tickets but direct you to your new house and give you a phone and a debit card with $10,000 on it.
Impeach him again and again keep doing it until a trial happens. Everyone knows he is guilty!!
Policy disagreements are not grounds for impeachment 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@joshuaglass7869 Mayorkus is BREAKING US LAW, Einstein
Guilty of......?
Do you have to ask?@@Arthur11342
@@Arthur11342 ?
It is not optional, it is mandatory. Please tell me why we have a Constitution if the democraps refuse to abide by it?
The whole hearing was a farce- republicans wasting tax payer money- grandstanding - see you need actual crimes to impeach.
Showing the two tiered system
"All animals are equal...senators are more equal."
.
Lot of money 💰 in the boarder remaining the way it is .there's plenty. Of money 💰 to buy officials judges politicians law enforcement in the USA .JUST LIKE IN MEXICO
That's why Donald Trump wanted to keep it the way it is don't forget to blame him for it. "Blame me for the border not get fixed now" Donald Trump
@@thedeadp00l80No. Trump receives daily briefings. He knew that it was a shit bill. It does NOTHING to secure the border. It provided unarmed bureaucrats to EXPEDITE the ILLEGAL INVASION.
@thedeadp00l80 The world isn't flat it isn't round it's crooked just the way it is.
Would like to have heard the rest of that.
So there's no rules anymore. Got it.
You should have NEVER gone along with those bills,
Start your campaign 😅😅😅
We will very seldom get a fair trial any more if the court knows which political party each side belongs to. Maybe if it's when both sides belong to the same party? Our court system is irreparably tainted!
Just like he said ( you ain't seen nothing yet !! ) gorch
This guy sounds like Dan Aykroyd... anyone else ever notice that? lol
Nice catch
Soooo.... What can be done about this???!!!
Revolution
Not having the trial in the senate is tyranny.
It is the job of the senate to hold the trial and decide guilt or not.
Not holding the trial is way above the law, and government refusing to do the job they were hired by WE THE PEOPLE.
No evidence was submitted that a crime was committed- you were duped by large marje
@@ernestclary6035 Congress impeaches, then submits the impeachment to the Senate to hold the trial.
The evidence is submitted at the time the Senate holds the trial and not before.
Senate would not even look at the impeachment from congress.
Who was duped?
All Americans were duped by the Senate not doing their job.
@@ernestclary6035 Not following immigration law is enough evidence for me.
The evidence is suppose to be submitted at the trial they are not having dummy. ;)
They lie
@@sgladden5 They ALL Lie. ;)
You guys in the government the American people are watching and we see the Redundant of what you're doing with our money
Yea I’m sick of them wasting money on these farce impeachment hearings too.
Couldn't poor pee out of their boot if the instructions were printed on the bottom of the boot.
What is the penalty for PERJURY?
And what is it's classification of law, ? Is it a felony only for average people and not government officials?
I agree with Lee what I would suggest republicans do next time there in charge table every impeachment that Dems bring what comes around goes around
He is right in one regard, they all took the same oath. Then why did Cruz want this exact thing during Trumps impeachment? Obviously the oath means different thing to different poeple.😊
Blame all news cast for not talking about it . Blame all New s stations
yeh u know u wanna say it and u know its true but u dont cause u luve that man that taught u
👏❤️🤍💙👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Forbes, I don't know how much longer I'm subscribing. This says it was an hour ago when the date on the video says the 17th! This happens all the time and it's gotten stupid.
Exactly what I've been trying to get the Justice courthouse to hold accountable the consequences of breaking the state laws code's broken by the School district of Elementary School and the Principal and vice principal and The bus driver the Whole leaders knew what was being done to my 7 year old son getting urine in his little 👄 mouth and then rubbed it all over his face 👀 the school bus have video camera and the whole sexual hate crime being seen by the bus driver knew what was being done to everyday and never says nothing when I told the Principal and vice principal and seen the video footage and told me that they weren't going to expile those kid's since the footage was from last year so they had been sexually harassing abusing my son since last yeare& your not going to follow the school law police wasn't called they told the kids that I have went to ask guy help to have my son safe from these kid's that only made it worse because Two day later they tested him back to back 3 older kids and still got no justice just got hate crime being done to me for asking for help
A lot of hot air and bull shit.
They don’t care about oaths, laws and precedent.
He should be held culpable for all the lives lost thanks to his blatent disregard for his country and the people in it . Mayorkas is slimy . He has no regard for the victims and there families .
Dissapointing..... This is ancient news. Worthy of repost but not presented as "1 hr ago". Add dates to report.
I wouldn't say ancient, but you're right it's not new. They should definitely put the correct dates.
I'm just waiting until November. Then mid terms. Because there's a boatload of Democrats and Republicans in office who are losing their jobs. MEGA MAGA TRUMP COME NOVEMBER.
Even his example with the Solicitor General and Brett Kavanaugh was mischaraterized by this weasel.
Please enlighten us?
And what is mischaraterized?
You see precision in language & law is needed.
@@AndyA1234 Yes, you have never had a typo.
Neither article of impeachment listed a high crime or misdemeanor. If you don't meet the basic requirement, you deserve to be dismissed.
The House gets to determine what they believe are high Crimes and Misdemeanors, not the Senate or anyone else. The Senate is required to hold a trial to determine whether or not they collectively believe that the charges are warranted. The House has the sole responsibility to bring charges. The Senate must hold a trial on the charges that the House brings. They are the jurors, not the prosecutors. Jurors do not have the authority to dismiss charges without holding a trial. This is reserved for the prosecutors. By this action, the Senate is arrogating to itself authority that is solely vested in the House.
lying to congress is not a high crime?
@@charlesharris9965 The law he allegedly violated literally says he has discretion about implementation. Also, if a particular requirement of a law requires adequate funding and Congress denies the funding, then it is they that are preventing the law from being enforced. They certainly cannot hold an official responsible for things they prevent.
@@JerryHicks-ib9ix Lying to Congress is indeed a high crime, but it takes a court to make that determination. These members of Congress do not want to go to court on this because they would no longer be protected by the speech and debate clause... the law they made for themselves that gives them immunity for the lies they tell in Congress.

If they don’t think we’re awake and watching and will remove them, they are in denial.
Mike Lee’s new haircut suits him fine. I really brings out the weasel in him.
They wont allow any evidence to be brought forward .
The border is secure. So secure that the GOP refused to pass a bill that would have enhanced border security. Mayorkas deserves a medal instead of an impeachment.
There were laws already in place and working that were removed day 1 Biden got into office. The other was allowed to run its course and expire under Biden and Mayorkas leadership.
How is the Boarder secure when the influx in illegal crossing is substantial and only went up when Biden got into office and Mayorkas was appointed?
Like seriously, if you haven't even researched what's going on, why bother commenting as if what you're stating is facts? Go read instead of just blindly backing your party just because of your political beliefs. That's the main issue in all of this.
It's very clear to the majority of the American people that the Boarder has been wide open, the laws already in place weren't being followed and if you're a Demecrat, nothing is wrong in what you do. But if you're Republican everything you do is wrong.
Our Government and Society is so devided that we aren't even the Country that our Name illudes to.
Regardless of what side of the isle you're on, using tax payer money to allow, house, move, any illegal immigrants is in fact Unconstitutional and borderline Human Trafficking using Tax payer funds to do so.
This hurts all US Citizens. Regardless of political beliefs.
It was the democrats who refused to pass the H.R.2 border bill which is still rotting on Chuck Schumer’s desk because democrats want the invasion to continue indefinitely!
That bait is too obvious, because in no way can you be serious.
@@CCook-wv1gk My point here is that Mayorkas is being targeted by the same body that failed to pass legislation that would have given the CBP more resources to improve border security. Mayorkas is horrible, but the House republicans have little to be proud of themselves.
Mike Lee is the worst of us.
Why is that? Because he wants to enforce equal law and justice for all?
@@dstephenson5849 LMAO No GOP believes in the Law.
@@dstephenson5849 In MAGAland, up is down.
Hey perfect.. if they choose not to try this impeachment.. then when Trump is re-elected, we’ll ignore all those impeachments as well.
You think hes getting re elected? hahaha
And when he isn't? 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
You lost! Now get back to doing actual work. Pass the bipartisan bill that would deal with the border and shut up.
What happened to Education- how hard is it to understand that you would have to commit a crime to be impeached. Marjorie’s pms rants are not reason to impeach.
THERE WERE NO HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS, NOR WERE THERE BRIBERIES.
Vocallocal is a bot that loves communism
Every time a Republican speaks they prove just how lost the Nazi, I mean MAGA, I mean Republican party truly is. Keep it up, GQP
Of course he got a pass he did nothing wrong
For filling the position of traitor you are correct.
@@happycamper1372 lol
You have to have an actual crime with something meaningful to support it to have a trial.
These clowns can't name a crime and can't say what law is being broken
An invasion of over 10 million unvetted illegals is not something meaningful?
@@user-qi2jj5nh4h There is no invasion lol
Why does everybody in this world need to fight and complain?
Hes a damn criminal
Goodbye America. It was a hell of a 248 years
Cheer up. The clown car will be out of the House in January.
Drama queen
Save that statement if FDT is reelected.
Crony Congress is for sale. BOTH PARTIES.
Awww, goodbye buddy. Say hello to Putin for me.
The Bible reads in the end times things happen u have never seen before and will never c it again. Evil
Treason,
Not even close
Dog and pony show
Impeachment was supposed to be for the President, not for those you don't like.
