democrats have unveiled their 2020 campaign platform. It is exactly the same as 2016 and 2018 platforms. Hate Trump.
As a preview, Mad Max(ine Waters) has promised that impeachment will be a perennial process for democrats.
Napoleon Bonaparte is said to have remarked
“In that case, let us wait twenty minutes; when the enemy is making a false movement we must take good care not to interrupt him.”
democrats are making a yuge mistake. ABC contributor Sara Fagen notes that the country has moved on, but democrats have not.

democrat House impeachment managers filed a brief demanding that the “threat of Trump” be ended in a 111 page treatise of butt hurt.
House impeachment managers released their opening trial briefing on Saturday, claiming the evidence against President Trump “overwhelmingly” establishes that “he is guilty” of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, and the only question that remains is whether the Senate will carry out its duty to remove him from office.
“President Trump’s conduct is the Framers’ worst nightmare,” the impeachment managers wrote in their 111-page filing.
In what has become a trial be farce, democrats are throwing the kitchen sink at Trump. They are asserting that Trump attempted bribery, despite it not being included among their flimsy articles. When asked why not, the response was “never mind.”
Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., one of the seven Democratic impeachment managers prosecuting President Trump before the Senate, accused Trump of attempting to commit bribery in his dealings with Ukraine, but when asked why this was not one of the articles of impeachment, he did not appear to have an explanation.
Bribery is one of the specific offenses mentioned in the Constitution’s discussion of impeachment. The House impeached Trump for alleged abuse of power — itself is not a statutory crime – and obstruction of Congress, but Crow insisted Sunday that the president was still guilty of attempted bribery.
….
Keilar pointed out that the House could have gone with both abuse of power and bribery if they believed the facts supported it, and that one of Trump’s attorneys, Alan Dershowitz, plans on arguing that abuse of power itself is not sufficient grounds for impeachment.
When asked if it was a mistake not to include a bribery article, Crow stated, “No, absolutely not.”
What this demonstrates beyond question is that democrats are seeking to remove a President via innuendo. Both Alan Dershowitz and Andy McCarthy agree that there are no indictable offenses. There are no crimes.
Countering democrat assertions, Trump’s legal team has filed a letter with the courts arguing the democrat articles are constitutionally invalid.
President Donald Trump’s legal team argued Saturday that the impeachment articles sent to the Senate by House Democrats are “constitutionally invalid” and should be rejected.
The letter was authored and filed by Trump’s attorneys Jay Sekulow and Pat Cipollone in response to the Senate summons for the impeachment trial.
“The articles of impeachment are constitutionally invalid on their face,” the response read. “They fail to allege any crime or violation of law whatsoever let alone ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ as required by the Constitution.”
The legal team released its blistering six-page response to the summons on Saturday evening.
“The articles of impeachment now before the Senate are an affront to the Constitution of the United States, our democrat institutions, and the American people,” the letter read.
But wait long enough and the evil that lives in people will find its way out. Steny Hoyer made some comments which should frighten every American and they tell us more about democrats than anything else:
Hoyer, the number-two Democrat in the House, defended the House’s impeachment inquiry last month by remarking that Trump was afforded “every opportunity to prove his innocence.”
This is the warped, distorted world of democrats. You are guilty until you prove your innocence. For the life of me I cannot understand why anyone would vote for those who have such an anti-Constitutional, anti-American beliefs.
As bad as it is for the country, impeachment is highly likely to be very, very costly for democrats. They are going to lose the war. As much as Pelosi gloats that Trump is “forever impeached” it is also true that this impeachment is the only 100% partisan with zero crimes included among the articles impeachment in history.
And acquittal will be forever as well.
The longer this plays out, the less appetite American will have for it. The longer democrats engage in this ridiculousness, the less they work for the American people. That spells LOSER.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
We really need to have representatives that work for the people not fringe elements of the population and those that have stage 4 TDS.
In the impeachment brief sent to the Senate by the DemocRATS, it states that Trump “withheld” aid to Ukraine which had been approved by the Congress. This is pure wordsmithing by the Democrats and LawFare attorneys. The aid was delayed, not withheld. Of course, much later in the brief it states that Trump did, in fact, send the aid to Ukraine.
This is just one example of the lie that is the brief. There are many.
And the whole Obstruction of Congress is the DemocRATS objection to Trump seeking judicial review to the demand that his advisers testify before the DemocRAT run kangaroo court called “Committee”. Seeking opinion from the third branch of government is the Constitutional remedy to a dispute between the other two branches of government. So while Pelosi and Schumer blather on about the Constitution, they are the ones trying to destroy that very document.
We, as a nation, are at a tipping point. If the DemocRATS are allowed total control over this nation, we will no longer be a free nation and the Constitution will be a soon forgotten document.
@retire05: But are we a truly free nation?
(Looking at Bill of Rights, comparing it to today’s laws. Hmmm…)
From now on, whenever a Democrat is not in the White House, they will be using impeachment as a weapon to hamstring the Republican in office. Just like accusing an opponent of sexual abuse without any credible evidence to destroy a candidate, so will they become addicted to impeachment. It gives them a lot of opportunity to present themselves as saviors and protectors than any of their other schemes.
old saying: you never interrupt the enemy when he is acting stupid. bar fly polosi illustrates that Trump will be forever impeached; well did whore bog billy retain this engenius title through out his remaining presidency-NO. the dc dirty drama is a bathetic explorations of democrp’s fantasies of pleasure and emotions of seeing Trump fail.. The sleazy ass kissing snowflakes will never see the patriotism gained on the plains of Marathon or whose piety would grow warmer amongst the ruins of Iona. to understand this one has to explore Johnson’s work Western Islands
