That Impeachment Thing....

Also, FYI, nobody's going to read a HuffPo link. You can do better than link that garbage.

I guess I fell for the facts I don't like

See, we do have some things in common.

It's okay, at least you can admit it.

Taking quotes out of context is fun!

Before you prematurely declare victory again, I'll give you yet another opportunity to explain what the strategy is. The tide of public support for impeachment has already turned in battleground states, so Pelosi took her perfect opportunity to call for censure and instead is going for the Hail Mary? Why? Writing up official articles isn't going to rally any fence-sitters to their cause and the outcome has already been decided, so what's the point?

Those 2 would be cause and effect, but unemployment was already low before Trump took office. You can claim it's a 10 billion years low, it went down from 4.5 to 3.5 (Still great and I'm sure it's a lot more difficult to do as the number is lower).

But yes, there is more than stocks. Farmers are doing terrible, steel and coal are still doing poorly, auto industry in also on the decline, these are all sectors Trump said he would save.

And if you look back to any time of economic prosperity, you will see at least a few industries that struggled. You named several industries that are subject to the whims of global markets. I'm not sure what your point is.

Democrats Good
Republicans Bad
Orange Man VERY BAD

Obviously.


Starting trade wars with everyone was a terrible idea?

Keeping the status quo was a terrible idea. And even economists can't seem to agree on who's "winning", but obviously you've chosen a side based on your hatred for Trump. Why don't we wait and see before issuing judgment?

The economy is completely unrelated to the misconduct/abuse of power allegations. Also it's deceptive how you think the stocks increasing matters that much when it comes to votes.

~52% of americans owns stocks or a 401k/something similar.
The top 10% owns ~85% of the stocks
The 80-90% owns ~10%
and everyone below owns 5%

I mean sure it's great, but 50% of americans are completely unaffected and 30% aren't making that much out of it, maybe they don't realize it yet and just parrots the talking points.

What do Canadians farm besides maple syrup and ice ?

Nothing makes a good argument by throwing in random percentages to distract someone.

There's more to the economy than stocks. Wages are rising faster than inflation. Unemployment is about as low as it can possibly get.

The keyboard warriors can lament about how bad things are while sitting at their comfy desks or tapping on their expensive phones, but the booming economy is benefitting a vast majority of the population whether they realize it or not.

Nobody is winning.

Over the last several months, the investigative committees of the House have been engaged in an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump’s efforts to solicit foreign interference in the 2020 elections, efforts that compromised our national security and threatened the integrity of our elections. Throughout this inquiry he has attempted to conceal the evidence from Congress and from the American people.

Our president holds the ultimate public trust. When he betrays that trust and puts himself before country, he endangers the Constitution, he endangers our democracy, and he endangers our national security.

The Framers of the Constitution prescribed a clear remedy for presidents who so violate their oath of office. That is the power of impeachment.

Today, in service to our duty to the Constitution and to our country, the House Committee on the Judiciary is introducing two articles of impeachment charging the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, with committing high crimes and misdemeanors.

The first article is for abuse of power. It is an impeachable offense for the president to exercise the powers of his public office to obtain an improper personal benefit while ignoring or injuring the national interest. That is exactly what President Trump did when he solicited and pressured Ukraine to interfere in our 2020 presidential election, thus damaging our national security, undermining the integrity of the next election, and violating his oath to the American people.

These actions moreover are consistent with President Trump’s previous invitations of foreign interference in our 2016 presidential election. And when he was caught, when the House investigated and opened an impeachment inquiry, President Trump engaged in unprecedented, categorical, and indiscriminate defiance of the impeachment inquiry.

This gives rise to the second article of impeachment for obstruction of Congress. Here, too, we see a familiar pattern in President Trump’s misconduct. A president who declares himself above accountability, above the American people, and above Congress’ power of impeachment, which is meant to protect against threats to our democratic institutions, is a president who sees himself as above the law. We must be clear, no one, not even the president, is above the law.

But meanwhile in impeachment news...

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler unveiled the articles of impeachment against the president.
