This is the elephant in the room. When one party completely refuses to fulfill their constitutional obligations then his original line of thought is no longer applicable. Republicans want this to be a gotcha, but instead its just a statement on how lost they are as a party.
This 100%.
No doubt the Democrats are highly partisan and I do not align myself with them either. But the GOP has completely abrogated their oversight responsibility in favor of Trump tribalism. They are in no position to argue that bipartisanship is required when they are acting in a nakedly partisan manner.

The republicans are lost? They have many in their ranks who are along for the perks of being in congress and they will be voted out soon. But the Democrat party is ready to implode. Pelosi has painted herself into a corner while she watches Shiff channeling Captain Queeg in search of those elusive strawberries. I can't wait to see what happens when Trump is acquitted and re-elected. Maybe Maddow will pluck her own eyeballs out.

Shake my head. Have you heard of the Steele dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton, that was total fiction, that was used to obtain FISA warrants? Are you aware of the secret hearings Shiff had? Are you aware that "impeachment" was uttered less than 12 hours after Trump was elected? Are you aware there is no evidence of an impeachable offense that Trump committed? Are you aware the the demonic party has abandoned all precedent of previous impeachment protocols? Denial is yet another symptom of TDS.
The Trump haters on here twist themselves into a pretzel tying to obfuscate from the fact that this impeachment doesn't even meet the democrats own standards.
The problem is, there's absolutely NOTHING that Trump could do that would be considered impeachable by today's GOP as long as he continues to rubber stamp their extreme right-wing agenda. He could shoot somebody on live TV and probably not a single Republican would vote for impeachment.
Only if he shot a liberal !!!
It would be in the interest of national security and for the good of the country and no one could fault him for that !!! Just doing his job as C in C and leading by example for the military !!!

"The problem is", the left is so taken over by TDS they see EVERYTHING Trump does as impeachable.
Throughout BOTH "hearings", really NOT hearings but dog and pony shows, not a SINGLE FACT brought forward to support wrongdoing by Trump, NOTHING to call for impeachment.
