'No More Running': Impeached Trump Faces Historic Senate Trial He Tried To Duck | MSNBC
Until I see him actually convicted he will always slither away like he has his whole life.
@Tony DeMaria Who cares , totally meaningless .
Regardless, there will always be a bigger stain on his face than there was on the blue dress.
@BB Wolf similar to the entire Trump presidency.
Great job, Ari.
A fair trial with witnesses, testimony and documents is the only way to settle this. If tRump is innocent he should not be afraid of the TRUTH.
@Power corrupts Your outrage is entertaining . Trump won’t be removed . He will win re-election and the GOP will take back the house . Check and Mate lmfao hahahahahahaha
@Daniel Hardy ‘…and how come only Russia reported it?’ … Has it EVER occurred to you that Russia might be lying, and WHY they might be lying?
I am not comfortable with the Biden thing either the entire situation stinks, and from my perspective, Joe Biden should pull out of the race because he is compromised.
He will be held accountable for his crimes against the people of the United States.
@BB Wolf Nope and just for your edification I’ll edit it: “In law, treason is criminal disloyalty, typically to the state. It is a crime that covers some of the more extreme acts against one’s nation or sovereign. This usually includes things such as participating in a war against one’s native country, attempting to overthrow its government, spying on its military,
its diplomats (Yovanovitch), or its secret services (anti-CIA/FBI Trump) for a hostile and foreign power, (That’s Russia and Ukraine BB W)
A person who commits treason is known in law as a traitor.” Got it now?
Trump is a treasonous piece of human waste and should be in Guantanamo.
@America first americans first russian bot detected
Carol, I could NOT conclude Trump committed a crime! – Robert Mueller! You saying that is treason!
@Bud Fudlacker 👈👈👈Watch out for the brainless trolls.
Liar in chief, pos.
Hopefully we can say good bye to the snake that blames and denies everything and also lies his head off to the people who think he’s her bees knees when he is all about himself and what he and his family can get out of it. You would have to desperate to put the big liar back in again. Time to say goodbye to the lying dictator who is to gutless to stand up and tell the truth for once in his life.
Make yourself useful and clean the Bathroom
Quick! somebody tell Trump, that Obama could easily stop a train.
🔥💥🚂
😂😂😂😂
Cybr – 💯😂💯
I said Impeach! Impeach! Impeach! Impeach!🥂🍾😝😂
Thank you! Finally we hear it articulated that this impeachment is not because people don’t ‘like’ Mr. Trump, but has manifested itself directly as a necessary response to Trump’s own actions. Mr. Trump, now is the time to resign.
@Michael Swift Agreed. Democrats can NEVER be trusted again.
@Christine B. And who do you take seriously? Gender confused SJW’s that believe in 89 genders. Liberals are the biggest joke on earth. That’s why Demorons are losing the culture war.
@Gangstar41145 – Two trolls detected. 👈👈👈 This is one with zilch to share.

Thanks Ari, well done! There’s no place for Trump to run now, it’s ALL going to be presented in the impeachment trial of this century and it WILL go down in history! Trump will be proven to be the WORST PRESIDENT EVER TO SIT IN THE OVAL OFFICE! Lights out Trump!!
only running fatboy has ever done is away from the draft board
Did you serve in Vietnam?
Bud Fudlacker Coward bone spurs didn’t. Fake president whiner.
The Constitution only works if there’s tangible punishment for the traitor-in-chief and his goons.
He can try to run but Trump cannot hide anymore!
Emperor Trump has no clothes on. Yuck!
Cover the mushrooms. 😅😅😅
“If there is one fact we really can prove, from the history that we really do know, it is that despotism can be a development, often a late development and very often indeed the end of societies that have been highly democratic. A despotism may almost be defined as a tired democracy. As fatigue falls on a community, the citizens are less inclined for that eternal vigilance which has truly been called the price of liberty; and they prefer to arm only one single sentinel to watch the city while they sleep.”
― G.K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man
“There’s no English equivalent for silovik. It doesn’t translate succinctly because to create something as Machiavellian as a silovik requires both the KGB and the GRU, and then a shift from communism to capitalism, followed by a gear-grinding reverse into despotism.”
― Tanya Thompson, Red Russia
“The actions of government, we are told, bear down only on imprudent souls who provoke them. The man who resigns himself and keeps silent is always safe. Reassured by this worthless and specious argument, we do not protest against the oppressors. Instead we find fault with the victims. Nobody knows how to be brave even prudentially. Everyone stays silent, keeping his head low in the self-deceiving hope of disarming the powers that be by his silence. People give despotism free access, flattering themselves they will be treated with consideration. Eyes to the ground, each person walks in silence the narrow path leading him safely to the tomb..”
― Benjamin Constant, Principles of Politics Applicable to All Governments
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
― Theodore Roosevelt
The Founding Fathers understanding of bribery was derived from English law, under which bribery was understood as an officeholder’s abuse of the power of an office to obtain a private benefit rather than for the public interest. This definition not only encompasses Trump’s conduct—it practically defines it.
Trump took 400 million in taxpayer dollars, which had been appropriated by Congress, and used it to bribe a foreign country into taking specific actions that would only benefit him personally.
The Founders placed articles of impeachment in the Constitution for the purpose of protecting our democracy. A democracy that Trump clearly has no respect for, and is trying to tear apart.
Article II, Section 4, says the president “shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
@David J … How opposite of small minded and inconsequential your comment was. I, personally, appreciate you taking the time and effort to craft your quotes and prose into a whole. It was worth much to me to read it, as I hope it was to you to write it. Please, always, continue with erudition, eloquence, and significance. Thanks!
A great reason to keep the first and second amendments! Which is why Mars will be completely terraformed before democrats regain any power!
@ROGER STONE I hope you’ve invested in real estate there.
us citizen
👍 Thank you. I will.
So where’s the high crimes and misdemeanors at?
