He got to where he is by pushing back and I trust his gut on this one too. Sadly, there are people living with their heads in the sand in our country. They pride themselves on being "swing voters" and want to hear both sides. They are the same idiots we see after every debate saying they are waiting to decide. If they make this go away quickly, without a trial, it is a mistake in my opinion. Democrats will run around boasting they called "witnesses" and had a fair process, while the GOP swept it under the rug to hide guilt, and the media will support them endlessly. It is ludicrous, rational people don't understand, but that is the 3% of the voting block that decide most elections. Para has better political instincts than me, so I could very well be wrong. | |||

Outside of this forum and a few close friends, I don't tell anyone how I vote. If, and when asked, I actually have responded "Well, I'm not sure" even when my mind is made up. Don't confuse playing your cards close to your chest with being an idiot. I think you may be assuming too much, especially in your first paragraph. Wanting to mind your own business and be left well alone should also not be confused with burying your head in the sand. That's an assumption leftists make about the way a lot of us on this end of the spectrum deal with stuff. It's the desire to stave off a nasty confrontation and not simply uncork the bottle and let the genie out. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

I'm pretty sure at this juncture, we the citizens are along for the ride. Neither republican, democrat, or Trump are going to poll the citizens for direction. Trump did say bring it, but was it to give the democrats pause or to encourage them forward? I lean towards pause due to the fact no president desires impeached by their picture in the history books. Pelosi is old enough she may not give a damn and desires to stain Trump out of spite. Who the heck knows. Chief Justice Roberts could be a wild card at trial. Lindsey is five years into a six year term, during the Kavanaugh hearing, did his backbone get a growth spurt due to reelection? Etc. Etc. The impeachment sham did display the deep state to those watching. I have wondered about the lack of innate ability to perform by some elected to congress. Whether through gerrymandering or fate there appears to be members of congress propped up by their staff. We listened to the Leftenant Colonel, ambassador, and others display for all to see, they believe in their right to direct the lackeys, citizens voted into office. One could see how that mindset might arise while listening to some elected to congress. That attitude is wrong though and needs corrected. | |||

I inserted the red allegedly so no one will get triggered.  'You don't know that': Kellyanne Conway teases press on possible White House meeting for Zelensky https://www.washingtonexaminer...meeting-for-zelensky White House adviser Kellyanne Conway told reporters they "don't know" whether Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky has been invited to the White House, leaving the door open to an explosive meeting as Democrats impeach Trump in part for withholding a visit. Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee approved articles of impeachment Friday against Trump for (allegedly) withholding about $400 million in military aid in what they say was a "scheme" to force Zelensky to investigate Democrats, including former Vice President Joe Biden. Conway told reporters with a smile, hours after the committee vote: "You don't know that. You don't know that he hasn't been invited. You don't know that he hasn't been invited." A group of journalists in the White House briefing room responded in near unison, "Has he?" Conway did not answer directly but said: "I know that President Zelensky was very happy to have a meeting with President Trump up at UNGA for the whole world to see. That was September. That was two and a half months ago." Zelensky has sought a White House meeting since taking office in May. He has been rebuffed on a request for a specific date, most recently during the United Nations General Assembly meeting with Trump. He sought a specific date during a gaggle with reporters, but Trump avoided giving one. "I think you forgot to tell me the date," Zelensky said to Trump in New York. "They'll tell you the date," Trump said, motioning to reporters. Conway combatively engaged reporters on Friday afternoon, suggesting Democrats were wasting time impeaching Trump instead of focusing on legislation to outlaw analogs of the synthetic opioid fentanyl. "I give a shit about people dying from drug overdoses while they're trying to impeach the president," Conway said. Belittling former Vice President Joe Biden's candidacy, she said: "He doesn't even know what state he's in, except a catatonic state." _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

Kellyanne Conway is not somebody I would ever choose to tangle with. That's a woman who has her wits about her and is willing and capable of shredding all oncomers. I'm glad she's employed in her current role. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

“The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear President Donald Trump's appeals in three separate cases to prevent his financial records, including tax returns, being handed over to Democratic-led House of Representatives committees and a New York prosecutor…” https://mol.im/a/7790939 So the Dems can’t get President Trump’s financial records until Jun 2020, the hearing date, at the earliest, and maybe never.

True that. No sense worrying about what we want to happen, think should happen, or whatever. Que sera, sera. What will be will be.
I’ve given up trying to figure out his thought process. It may just be that like Para said he’s a scrapper and he’s looking for a fight. He may be confident that he can absolutely crush them and think that is the best service he can do for the American people. He may be hoping to back them off. Who knows? I just hope however it all rolls out, it is pessimal for the GDCs and the deep state scum and optimal for our President and the American people.

To be sure, President Trump does not want to be impeached. I have no doubt. However, what he won't do is beg the dems not to go through with it. Quite the opposite. He'll antagonize them because yes indeed he's a scrapper. I doubt there was a fight he ever backed away from. But no, he does not wish for this. I imagine nothing would please him more than to have the final vote fail in the House. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

Impeachment obliterates tinges of comity in House BY MIKE LILLIS - 12/13/19 06:29 PM EST THE HILL > https://thehill.com/homenews/a...s-of-comity-in-house ........"The tensions, while partly theatrical, highlight the increasing estrangement of the parties in the age of Trump — a dynamic only exacerbated by the fast-rolling impeachment inquiry that's captivated the country over the last three months and complicates efforts for bipartisan cooperation on any legislative initiatives heading into an election year. The facts underlying the debate are hardly in dispute. Trump had pressed Ukraine's president to open two investigations that might have helped him politically — one into the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, a 2020 presidential hopeful; and another into 2016 election meddling — even as the administration was withholding $391 million in U.S. aid to Kyiv. What remains hotly contested is whether that conduct represented a brazen abuse of power, as Democrats maintain; or a routine effort to combat corruption — and protect U.S. taxpayer dollars — in a country infamous for profiteering, as Republicans contend. Those opposing narratives defined the three-day markup of the two impeachment articles, now scheduled to hit the House floor next Wednesday. And Democrats quickly praised the development, saying the effort to remove Trump from office is an unfortunate but necessary step for protecting the nation's very democracy from a president who sought foreign help to sway an election."........... =================================== Had to look this up.

While Trump may not want impeachment, he is a business man and knows that even in a "deal going bad", there is opportunity to steer things your way for the next step in the "deal", or the next "deal". This is an advantage and opportunity for "We the People..." to see, by Trump's bravely pulling back of the curtain, both sides of the leadership, and whom we should "tag and release", come the harvest, we will have good idea of what vermin to remove from the Chambers. Have no fear, but believe in whom you chose. Look at Trump's life history and how many times he has shown weakness and lack of courage.
