NO CHECK AND NO BALANCE
You know, Tubularsock believes that the Republicant’s Senators have as yet not realized what they have done by voting in the Senate NOT TO ACCEPT witnesses, not to call the President out for blocking subpoenas for staff and not allowing documents to be seen by the House as well as the Senate.
Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) recently said that if Biden were elected that there may be a push to immediately impeach him for past crimes in the Ukraine.
Now there is less documented information about illegal dealings by Biden than there is about Dump BUT here’s the thing; the Senate has now set a precedent that witnesses don’t have to be called and that a President DOESN’T have to honor subpoenas or turn related document over to Congress.
Or in other words, Impeachment of ANY President is Dead On Arrival.
Remember Dump from the very beginning said he didn’t have to cooperate and he didn’t!
Without Congress and in this case the Senate not standing up to see where the facts lead they have abdicated their Impeachment Power to the dust bin of history!
And lets say Joni did push Impeachment of Biden.
On what charge? Bribery? Extortion? Obstruction of Congress?
That would be a no starter because the Senate has already accepted that Bribery, Extortion and Obstruction of Congress are NOT Impeachable crimes.
As Abraham Lincoln said, “At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us.”
And as one can see, the current Senate is helping tyranny win the day.
Thank you Senator Ernst for your contribution toward that tyranny for weakening the checks and balances of our system.
and so it goes on…..ad nauseam…

This is a quote from a reporter I heard many, many years ago, when the CIA didn’t completely own the liberal press yet:
“Americans don’t always get what they want, but they almost always get what they deserve!”
I do not remember his name, nor have I been able to find the quote again. But it has always stayed with me.
With the assholes in DC, on both sides of the cesspool, we truly are getting what we deserve.
As much as I despise Trump, I hate these pseudo left, whiny assholes, who have been whining for almost four years now, even more. These are the same assholes who are about to fuck over Bernie Sanders once again (Isn’t this ‘AntiSemtic’?). But I don’t hear anyone bitching about that?
It’s all a pathetic joke, the entire fucking thing, as it has been from the very beginning! It’s a horrific, curse on humanity and the world! And most of us are only concerned with ourselves.

sourjourner, you are so correct. The shit is just so deep and the bullshit is so constant that we as a society keep peddling the same old shit expecting things to change for the better.
Tubularsock has reservations about Bernie but he is THE ONLY ONE that has any real plan for change for this country in the direction of helping PEOPLE. Not the corporate overlords.
And the Democraps will sell him down the river because the Democraps are controlled by the corporate elite and they profit personally even if Dump “wins”. And fuck US!

The Ernst comment is particularly ludicrous because the senate doesn’t need to wait for Biden to be elected to address his criminal corruption in Ukraine (which is well documented) because you can throw a Senator in jail (or at a very minimum file ethics charges against him). It’s only the president who is immune from criminal charges – which is why the Constitution allows for impeachment.

Well there is no question that Ernst has issues.
And yes you are correct procedurally.
However Biden is not a Senator.
Unless Tubularsock is reading what you are saying
incorrectly.
And from Tubularsock’s point of view
old Joe already dead!
Thanks for the comment.
