Question: Why did the Nazis lose WWII when they seemed to have such huge advantages in technology, weaponry and manpower? It was tied in with the central policy of Nazism, which was elimination of the Jews. Everyone knows how the Germans expended enormous energy and funds to imprison and exterminate 6 million Jews. But how did that help their efforts to beat the Axis? Actually, this was an enormous waste of wartime resources and helped lead to defeat. Likewise, the Democrats, in their stupid rush into a second contrived impeachment are also committing political suicide.
Permanent Democrat Goal – Destroy Trump: We are watching Democrats still in 2016 November, where sheer hatred of President Donald Trump flourishes. What caused unfettered hatred of Donald? Does anyone know? First came the wholly fake "Russia Collusion" investigation. Three years later, the Ukraine "Impeachment" was launched. This despite the fact that it was Hunter Biden who plundered Ukraine, a story that has not yet even been plumbed. Other obnoxious attacks were launched on Trump during his 4 years in office. And now a SECOND impeachment, commenced after he left office. But isn't impeaching a former president just defeated the ultimate vanity project?!
"Nothing the president said constituted unprotected 'incitement' as narrowly defined by the Supreme Court. It is beyond dispute, therefore, that his speech — disturbing as it may have been — is within the core protection of political speech."Further, a question raised and tested by Sen Rand Paul demanded a vote by Republican senators and 45 believed you could not impeach a private citizen like Trump. Paul then repeated a number of inflammatory statements by Democrat politicians invoking violence which were not sanctioned. Like deranged Rep Maxine Waters demanding folks make a crowd around Trump people if they see them in public, confront them... "and push back on them and let them know they are not welcome anymore, anywhere." Chief Judge Roberts Bails: A strong debate erupted over whether a former president could be impeached at all. Supreme Court Chief John Roberts answered this question by declining to preside when Sen. Chuck Schumer requested his leadership. Schumer informed MSNBC of Robert's opinion. "The Constitution says the chief justice presides for a sitting president. So it was up to John Roberts on whether he wanted to preside with a president who is no longer sitting, and he doesn't want to do it." Further, Verdict states the Constitution implies impeachment is for presidents, not ex-presidents:
Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution provides: "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." According to Republicans, this means that Congress cannot impeach or convict a former president, because he is not the President. By virtue of the fact that he is no longer in office and cannot be removed, they say, he cannot be impeached or convicted in the first place.
