The official "let's impeach Trump" thread

Your daily reminder that confessional Republicans are by and large awful human beings.



just wow.

also, I’m so sick of republicans claiming to respect our service members. Such BS. This is far more disrespectful the anything Rep Omar has done:

 
My favorite part of his argument is probably where he invokes their attacks on Saudi Arabia as a justification for us ramping things up against them. As if us getting more involved is somehow going to make things better, or that it's any of our business in the first place.

Yeah, I always thought "we should jump right into the ages long conflict between Shiite and Sunni Muslims. That should be loads of fun. In fact, let's take sides in that conflict. And let's leave the nuclear deal with Iran, and strangle their economy. It should be easy to bring them to their knees, why would they lash out about that?"
 

"Discretion is the better part of valor" might have applied here. This was never about some Americans are cowards and some Americans are warriors. It's about what the hell is the end game where the Trump administration is concerned? For Pompeo, for former administration guys like Bolton and Bannon, it's always been about regime change in Iran. But I thought Trump ran against that philosophy? In his address yesterday, Trump referred to the "regime in Iran" a couple of times. (JMPO, but I think we should get any evengelicals the heck away from our Middle East policy. I don't trust them to separate America's foreign policy from their anticipation of The Rapture. Their entitled to their personal beliefs, as long as it does not enter into the real world and our decisions regarding Iran).

But, aside from all that, which is really just a personal opinion, exactly what is the end game here? It is not asking too much for the American people to understand that. I think Trump wants Iran back at the bargaining table. Well, we'll see if Trump's "game plan"(?) works to that end.

I know this. Prior to Trump leaving the Iran nuclear deal, Iran was not lobbing missiles at our troops. And if citizens do not want to march lock step with Trump, it is their right to do so, without being called cowards.

Is the hypocritical evangelical leaders’ vision of God’s mission to end any threat to their values any different from their enemy’s?
 
And then there's this.


amazing isn’t it? Lee and Paul have been good little boys and girls for years. They now have ONE concern and now suddenly Lou Dobbs and the rest of the crew on Fox News are begging someone trumpier than Lee to run in a primary. Have you read the comments on the Dnews article on Lee’s comments? Amazing how many “conservatives” have turned against Lee for his insubordination against Dear Leader!

If Senate republicans want to reinstate respect, they should vote for a fair trial and take impeachment seriously.

I'm sure it's simplistic to some degree to put it this way, but there is a mentality alive in the world today that is not completely dissimilar to that mentality underliying the battle between Christianity and Islam that we know from our history as the Crusades. There has been progress in many ways over the centuries, but not in all areas where humanity is concerned.
