Listening to the rushed House impeachment... some of these guys and gals are such fools. The swamp are going completely nuts! Completely unhinged. I am sane compared to these people! Wow.

They're making Trump sound sane too which is even more scary.

I think they are neurotic. Not to belittle anyones genuine feelings but I get the sense they are trying to create fear, more than prevent fear.

It is an "enormous danger" for Democrats, led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, to push to impeach President Donald Trump in hopes of preventing him from running again for the presidency in 2024, ex-House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Wednesday. Gingrich said he thinks the plan will "blow up on them."
"By right do they think they have the ability to shut up somebody who has 74 million votes?" he added. He noted that the Democrats have "always hated Trump" and now that he is "wounded" after last week's violence at the Capitol, they are taking their chance at forcing him out.

Further, he criticized Pelosi's decision to name Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., as an impeachment manager, after the controversy surrounding his connections with an alleged Chinese spy.

"There's no question the Chinese won this round," he said. "They are thrilled to have a Biden administration. They are thrilled to have people backing down and I think XI Jinping must be feeling good."

Gingrich said the vote to impeach the president will likely pass, but he does not see how the measure can reach a full trial in the Senate before Biden is sworn in on Jan. 20.

The founding fathers were deeply opposed to pursuing private citizens once they left office," said Gingrich. 'They saw what happened in Great Britain and knew it leads to tyranny and opposed going after somebody after they left office."

Some people are smart enough to see that the left may snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Pretty sure America hates a sore winner as much as a sore loser. The Democrats are not being graceful winners. Its turning people off.

Just keep watching watching fox news and your favorite fringe websites Gritty.

No need for me, when they are already doing an excellent job in make you believe falsehoods and lies daily.

Now go ahead, respond to me with 4 postings each one more unnecessary then previous one ;)

There’s a way to fix all of this and to bury the hatchet with our friends and neighbors too. We replace Congress with carnival games. The outcome can’t be any worse than what we already have and the fact the the results are randomized means that you can’t get angry at anybody about it.

Have a better idea let's replace all congressmen and women who won't tell the truth when it comes to the fact that Joe Biden won the election fair and square. Those who promoted the big "LIE" that led to the riot and the deaths at the Capital. There will be no unity until accountability takes place first. Law and Order and prosecution!

I understand how you feel, Spudley; but I’d still rather have laws made by having people run sack races or sinking clowns in dunk tanks than let the Democrats do whatever they have in mind.

I do not work in law enforcement. I served as a State Constable briefly, which is a law enforcement office that mostly deals with civil process in most of Pennsylvania. I don’t do that anymore.

So Not really understanding your reasoning truckinpunkin ! The better people of America are standing up & not letting the idiot clown make us any closer to becoming a s*it hole country ! I just hope its not to late !

Your binary thinking is the problem. If you were really “better people”, then you wouldn’t be foisting Joe Biden and the Democrat Party on the country. You refer to Trump as a clown, which he is, but he is merely a figurative clown. I’m talking about literal clowns. Actual clowns with wigs and goofy shoes would be better than what either the Democrats or Republicans have to offer and that’s what makes this whole fight so stupid. Both sides are supported atrocious human beings who do not care about the citizens whatsoever and you’re ready to burn bridges and fight to the death over it. It’s so absurd that it makes having a government composed of actual clowns spinning wheels and flipping coins seem like a more reasonable alternative.

@LIpumpkins, freedom of speech doesn’t mean you can spout off and just say anything you want without reprisal.

https://www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2017/03/6-exceptions-to-freedom-of-speech/

Your 2-time impeached, lost by a landslide outgoing 1 term President is a prime example as he is now learning he can’t just say anything he wants to without paying a price.

I think and correct me if I'm wrong. When we asked Ken to become a member of BP didn't we have to agree to his terms? Are we not moderated? Can Ken edit our content for whatever he deems unfit? So what's your rational argument about your First Amendment Rights? Private companies have the right to refuse service. I'm sure you all seen those signs. Free speech is like all Constitutional Rights none are Absolute.

Yes. This is why I will never use facebook, twitter, etc. I also wont use Amazon. If Ken has a problem with me I wont use bp. Conservatives should use friendly platforms. No one is forced to use a platform run by liberal haters. The wall street/tech monopoly means all the big platforms are passively or aggressively hateful towards conservatives. But there will always be alternatives.

Companies are profit driven, not constitutionally driven. If you want constitutional rights respected then only use and support the profits of companies that treat you with respect.

Jesus says in the gospel of Matthew [paraphrasing] "if you look at a woman and lust for her, you have already sinned in your heart.

Inside or outside of your head perhaps it's all the same.

A bit of much needed sanity in this article: https://www.infowars.com/posts/politics-wont-fix-the-american-decline/

We all assume that our country can be fixed. But that wont happen until the Democrats stop being sore winners and do something good with their power. Maybe that will happen. Or maybe I am stupidly optimistic. If that doesnt happen, then read the article I think its wise about how to keep moving forward.
You wont find Confucius quoted in the mainstream media!

(A typical example of alternate media hypocrisy. One minute they're bashing China, the next quoting Confucius. If you're desperate for humor, maybe that little irony is funny.)

Gritty Kins Are you saying that because the politicians in China are doing something you don't like, that all people of Chinese origin are bad?

Condemning all members of a group by action of one of the group is called prejudice.

Your last sentence irischap says it all. In the last seven days the Trump supporter has been redefined as a domestic terrorist. Silenced like they don’t exist (that would be half the country and that’s a lot of people) Extinguished by big tech.

1/15/2021 1:29:12 PM

Little Ketchup

Grittyville, WA

I think there's a misunderstanding. Confucius is a well know ancient Chinese scholar. He is not a current Chinese politician. I was pointing out some irony.

Irischap, based on your definition of prejudice no one on the right will be called a racist unless they actually are a racist. If someone did call everyone on the right prejudiced or somehow imply this, that would mean they were prejudiced. Thanks for making that clear.

Confucius was a Chinese philosopher and politician of the Spring and Autumn period who was traditionally considered the paragon of Chinese sages.
