The Declaration of Independence gave man the basic rights and freedom. The Constitution of the United States of America protects man from the government.

If anyone does not like what is currently happening...change those embedded in Congress. They write and propose the laws, vote to have them passed, control committees that steer the nation and control the regulations imposed on the nation.

The President has very little power compared to Congress other than the power of Veto and Executive Order however as we have now seen nearly every Executive Order declared by this president has been stopped by a single Federal Court Judge.

So...if you don't like this administration, which you have the right to do, then volunteer, contribute, and cast your vote in opposition.

Everyone has the right to make their own decisions but no one has the right to force others his decisions on others. No one should be enslaved as to provide for others as entitled. Every man has the right to pursue what he needs for himself by himself.

You continue to push a but, but, but ... defense for trump, and totally ignore the fact that Vice President Biden had the FULL support of European Leaders when he told Ukraine to remove the corrupt prossecutor.

You keep beating a dead horse every time that you try to claim that Vice President Joe Biden did anything wrong when he told Ukraine to fire their CORRUPT prossecutor.

By the way, the investigation into Barisma had been dormant long before Joe Biden pulled the plug on the funding to Ukraine. After they got rid of that corrupt prossecutor, then the investigation was reopened!

Read a book, and get your facts and the timeline straight!

Before you ask, I did provided the link to that time line on another thread a few weeks ago, go find it yourself!

How many times do you right wingers need to be told that you're doing nothing more than spreading Russian PROPAGANDA each and every time you try to counter with this but, but, but argument?

During the Democrats presentation of the facts in the trump impeachment trial, they presented testimony disproving the LIE that right wingers keep trying to throw out.

The Republican Alternative Facts are nothing more than lies they tell, trying to get the educated voter to fall for already DISPROVEN Russian Propaganda.

Video taped testimony during the temp impeachment hearings was played several times during the Democrat's 20+ hours of arguments for finding trump guilty and removing trump from office.

Where were all of you during those 20+ hours?

Weren't you paying attention, or did you sleep through your education of the facts?

The Democrats dropped 28,578 pages of trial record on the Senate, while the trump defense team has presented ZERO!

The trump defense team can't refute the facts, so they're deflecting away from the facts with a "look over there at the birdy" defense.

The trump defense team is trying to do nothing more than to distract trump's base and the GOP members in the Senate and House away from the facts of what trump did in his pursuit of personal gains, disguised as foreign policy.

A new poll found that 51% of Americans want the Senate to convict Donald Trump and remove him from office.

CNN reported on their own new poll:

About half of Americans say the Senate should vote to convict President Donald Trump and remove him from office in the upcoming impeachment trial (51%), according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, while 45% say the Senate should vote against conviction and removal.

Nearly seven in 10 (69%) say that upcoming trial should feature testimony from new witnesses who did not testify in the House impeachment inquiry. And as Democrats in the Senate seek to persuade at least four Republican senators to join them on votes over allowing witnesses in the trial, the Republican rank and file are divided on the question: 48% say they want new witnesses, while 44% say they do not.

Fifty-one percent is not “about half” as CNN suggested. It’s a majority. Elsewhere in the poll, 57% believe it’s true that Trump abused his power, and 58% think it’s true that Trump obstructed the House.

The poll is a ton of bad news for Trump and Senate Republicans. While Trump is trying to get Senate trial canceled, a majority of Americans believe that he is guilty on both articles of impeachment.

More Republicans want new witnesses than do not.

Given the results of this poll, it is easy to see why Mitch McConnell is trying to blackout media coverage and rush through Trump’s trial. Nothing good will come out of this trial for Trump and the Republican Party. Senate Republicans are going to be stained by their votes not to convict Trump.

The impeachment trial isn’t a victory for Trump. It is a march of the cliff to 2020 defeat.
