    I am just curious how you think a bill or a resolution is created?

    Cause he's an idiot.. i dunno ask him..
    That doesn't change the fact, as far as i have seen. He has not recieved anything from Ukraine and therefore has not violated the emoluments clause.

    Isn't that standard practice for any President. I thought they followed them literally everywhere no matter who's property at no expense. I imagined if Carter visited his home in Georgia with that peanut farm, they followed him to protect him and the same was true of all our Presidents.

    Lets see. The Speaker of the House refers possible ideas for legislation to the committee she sees has having jurisdiction without any floor vote precipitating her authority to refer legislation. The committee rules govern the procedures under which the process by which the committee starts, including invitations to testify and documents gathered and put in the record and , brainstorming sessions in which all sorts of ideas are bandied about on what to include in prospective legislation and then a work up session is scheduled where proposed language is presented to the committee either by staff, or committee members for votes. The work product is then schedule for committee debate and a vote to move the bill to the House floor for consideration. The Speaker then puts the bill on the calender for that vote.

    Its a good system and I am glad this speaker is retaining for impeachment inquiry.

    ?? Nobody has claimed his dealings with Ukraine were emoluments related.. Remember, the money was only going one way for Ukraine... Us to Them....

    C'mon dude... I know there's a lot going on, but you have to keep the issues somewhat organized...

    Democrats have nothing. That is why there is no vote.

    This is all propaganda for "Useful Idiots", because Democrats can't win the Presidency. Because, they believe they are entitled.

    True, but I'm guessing "market prices" at Mar-A-Lago and "market prices" for facilities in or near Plains Georgia are 2 different things...

    If not, Mar-A-Lago may not be all it's cracked up to be...

    Sounds like an impeachment in search of a crime, instead of a crime in need of an impeachment.

    They have accommodations but they don't cost $1000 per person per night. The Clinton's built a cottage for them on their property.. Trump is screwing the taxpayers and all the money goes to Mara Lago and other golf courses .. Now he wants to host G7.. That will be a $20 million dollar week end and will break the city of Palm Beach.

    "And I fully disagree this is all for show... there are real world implications here... but it should be going faster, IMHO..."


    This is political in nature its not so much that Trump is a threat to mankind its more Democrats want to win 2020. So if your a Democrat politician you want this to go pretty slow

    And here we have another victim of the Trollmeister himself.....Trump was never going to host the G7. Those Clintons are just saints.....I bet slick Willie used the $500K he got for his 10 min speech in Moscow to build that cottage.

    Well, I'm glad I'm not a Democrat politician then, and I condemn anybody thinking that way.... Impeachment should be reserved for somebody who is a current threat to national security (as one primary criteria), and thus should happen quickly... It's not to be used to attempt to solve political problems, like it was in 1998...

    lol way to dodge the facts of the situation. Easier then accepting those things I guess.

    What? Who said anything about 'per minute'? I said there were about '2000 words' in the 5 page document. Read. Don't Skim.

    Most cases of "truth" rarely start with the phrase "Sounds like", but keep trying... you'll get some someday...

    No, Ukraine was buying missiles from us also.

    My view of this impeachment stunt is I don't think it was wise of Trump to say what he did, but in no way is it worthy of removal from office. You don't get to do that because a duly elected POTUS enacts policies you disagree with. I assume Democrats also didn't approve of Bill Clinton's perjury or obstruction of justice, but also didn't think it warranted removal from office.

    Absolutely nobody is going to subscribe to that complete misstatement of what is going on here, ya know...

    If you call what he did a "policy", you are sadly mistaken...

    Pulling out of Syria and abandoning allies is a policy I disagree with... nobody is talking impeachment over that (25th amendment maybe)

    Democrats have been talking impeachment since Day 1 because of Trump's policies. And on Ukraine, there is no proven QPQ other than Biden's.

    If this does go to the Senate, I predict there will be hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters protesting by the Capitol Building who feel they're in danger of being disenfranchised, heck he just got 80K at his Dallas rally. You will also be setting a dangerous precedent that will come back to bite you like Harry Reid's nuclear option did him. The next Dem president will also be facing impeachment talk from Day 1.
