    Just a continuation of the war that started when the Nation Elected the 1st BLACK Skin man in history.

    Actually, it doesn't.

    Tell ya what. Read this over. Hopefully, you'll have a better understanding of the issue. BTW, thus far, all Trump has invoked is non-existent "absolute immunity," not EP. Bye.

    Sounds like you should read your own source.

    Congress has three formal methods by which it can combat non-compliance with a duly issued subpoena. Each of these methods invokes the authority of a separate branch of government.

    He did it for a wall, why not for a balanced budget?

    In their defense, some of them have no idea what they're talking about.

    You know, like when you suggest a source that you think reinforces your argument, and instead slaps you in the face.

    Their tenacity amazes me.

    It doesn't seem to matter to them how much they are proven wrong. No matter how obvious their failures, they keep promoting the nonsense.

    I will never understand such mindsets.

    Do you think it possible to stop globalism?
    Especially with smart phones as prevalent as they are?
    With trade on every nook and cranny of the earth?
    With information traveling the world in a few seconds.

    I have three nutjobs on "ignore".

    If my list gets too big, I can't follow the threads.

    I don't block anybody.

    The worst ones are both the best source of material as well as the best source of mirth.

    I get it, but the ones on my list are just tedious.

    Flipping their trolling on them keeps you in shape though.

    I don't have the trolls or obvious political hacks blocked. My list only contains three absolute nutjobs.

    It's not worth my time to scroll past their incessant repetitions of repeatedly proven false statements.

    Ohhh. I may know of at least one of them.

    You can see the slobber even when it's just text on a page.

    Two separate issues at play there.

    If the Colorado state prosecutor chooses to back off of the subpoenas for the witnesses and their case falls apart as a result two things should happen.
    1. The murderer should go free
    2. Colorado voters should be pissed enough to get a new prosecutor.


    If anyone is unhappy with how the prosecution of the impeachment trial was handled the solution is simple do not vote for Pelosi, Schiff, et all. They are the ones who screwed up. They did a crappy job with their case.

    However in this aftermath I'd like to see a bipartisan effort to put together a complete detailed timeline of events of this whole mess dating back well into 2016.

    That doesn't mean anything. It's akin to an indictment. If you don't convict an indicted person, it's meaningless. That's why we are asked on employment applications whether we have been convicted of crime. they don't ask about accusations or indictments. Making an accusation takes no effort or skill, which is why it has no weight unless confirmed by a conviction.
