Impeachment |OT|
- Thread starter Kaitos
- Start date
quoting myself from a thread earlier in the year.
They're all fucking idiots ugh
Some of the dumbest people in the world are sitting in that house, representing americans
He has to put it on hard here, because he's representing the entire GOP defiance of the impeachment. Bad faith arguing is all they do.
That seems to be what the Republicans do best, arguing in bad faith, always projecting.
Honestly I don't think anything will happen. He either gets impeached then not removed from power or he doesn't get impeached and again nothing happens.
its a fucking shame what this country is.
its a fucking shame what this country is.
Believe me, it's a waste of my time.
He's so far down this rabbit hole that he's never going to come out of it.
I try to avoid talking politics for my sanity.
Last time I tried I got hit back with a Soros, Clinton, Deep State, Drain the Swamp combo.
His ability to listen to reason has been GOP'd out of his brain. He's bit down on their bullshit, hook line and sinker.
We'll get a second chance next year in the voting booths. Vote the fucker out.
It's almost like the Murdochs are the puppeteers across the U.S., U.K., and Australia...
Ah yes, a good, quality, take that has never been presented before.
I recently watched The Great Hack on Netflix, it clearly showed how Cambridge Analytica directly caused the extreme polarization that the American society is currently experiencing. It also showed how dangerous personal data is when it's in the wrong hands (Facebook, Cambridge Analytica, etc.) and how people can be manipulated using psyops tactics from the military to agree or disagree on something.
Nadler is horrible. They better limit his talking. It's so lifeless. They need to stop regurgitating the facts and go after the republicans lies everytime they lie.
Impeachment isn't removal from office. He won't be removed due to the cowardice of the Senate Republicans, but he will be impeached.
100% chance of impeachment. Near 0% for removal/acquittal.
Impeachment is the process, removal is the result.
It's about optics mostly and to sway public opinion. Also, bonus of the dems actually doing their jobs.
1. House votes on articles of impeachment.
2. Senate votes to remove from office.
This is 1. Once completed he has been impeached but not removed from office.
Right. I lived in Doug Collins' district until last month and he is the political mirror image of the people that live there. Lots of stupid, stubborn, angry, racists people live in northeast GA, so of course, that's the kind of person they'll elect to represent them. He's just the professional version of it.
Oh come on, have they asked us to accept two opposite views at once? Changed spoken statements after the fact? Denied confirmed facts as false? Told us not to beleive what we see and hear, only what they tell us? Oh wait, yes, yes they have.
newspeak - ambiguous euphemistic language used chiefly in political propaganda.
doublethink - the acceptance of or mental capacity to accept contrary opinions or beliefs at the same time, especially as a result of political indoctrination.
malquoted – flaws or inaccurate presentations of Party or Big Brother-related matters by the press
rectify – used by the Ministry of Truth as a euphemism for the deliberate alteration (or 'correction') of the past
Impeachment =/= removal. Removal is up to the senate, but he is almost definitely being impeached.
This has building up for years, long before Cambridge.
Faux has had 20+ years to build this up.
It's only gotten worse as the internet has become more ingrained and people became more connected, thus causing people to shelter themselves into groups online.
He is comparing how the House committee majority would not let them call any old witness they want. This is a downside of being the minority and yes it is comparable to Schumer's comments.
What isn't comparable is how Senate leadership is saying publicly they have no plans to be impartial and may not even call witnesses at all. They will strangely omit that part.
Republicans wanted the whistleblower to testify, Dems refused to protect him, then they kept saying that Dems didn't want to call any of the Republicans witnesses, this was moving too fast etc...
Schumer wants Bolton and Mulvaney to testify, now they're saying that Dems are hypocrites for asking for new witnesses to testify.
True, however, Cambridge Analytica and similar companies have severely exacerbated the significant problem of using people's personal data against them to manipulate them to agree or disagree on things.
This tactic is scary, and it comes from not just the GoP, but the right wing as a whole. They move further and further right, and deny the shift by describing the widening gap between left and right as being because "the left are radicalised"
Thats not what he was saying. He was saying that because the house didnt wait a year to get the courts to rule in their favor to follow supboenas, that now the senate is trying to get those same witnesses in a different process. He ignores that its all a big delay tactic.
Why do they keep saying there's no evidence? Why aren't the Dems saying "HERE IS THE EVIDENCE"?
I was speaking to the welcome to the club comment, but yes, fair point.
The CA data breaches are worse than generic propaganda, because Facebook knows more about their users and their habits than their own spouses and doctors. High-end data mining allows for the targeted weaponization of the worst corners of society. They know exactly what buttons to push to get a reaction from people.
Not at all. But they know their people will blindly follow it.
Sadly, it will become true if the people saying this are ultimately the final judges.
Hm, got it. A thin line to walk that is of course blown up into a huge issue, but I guess that's the strategy.
