Impeachment #4
October ??, 2019

House refuses to vote on this one, but is instead conducting it in secret in the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
Because, you know, you can't just rush an impeachment floor vote. It is a super serious matter.
POLL: Which Democratic impeachment of President Trump is the stupidest?
Jim McGovern is managing the floor debate on the latest impeachment. Says the Dems take themselves seriously. He voted for all three of the previous joke impeachments.
Hakeem Jeffries speaking now. Says he's fighting for democracy. Jeffries previously voted to impeach for the high crime of allegedly saying s-hole countries.
Schiff says he supports the impeachment resolution expanding his power but "takes no pleasure in it."

Has a bigger lie ever been told?
Rep. Norma Torres: "Impeachment is not something we take lightly."

In July she voted to impeach Trump for insulting The Squad.
Rep. Mark DeSaulnier speaking.

He voted for all three joke impeachments.
Rep. Jerry Nadler: "I support this resolution because it is the solemn duty of the Congress to investigate serious allegations against the president."

In July he voted to impeach Trump for tweets about The Squad.
Rep. Eliot Engel speaking now, in mortal fear of a socialist primary.

He voted all three previous times to impeach the president for the high crimes of insulting NFL players, allegedly saying s-hole countries, and tweeting about The Squad.
Rep. Maxine Waters: "I look forward to Democrats and Republicans alike prioritizing country over party."

She voted three previous times to impeach the president for the high crimes of insulting NFL players, allegedly saying s-hole countries, and tweeting about The Squad.
Rep. Eric Swalwell saying he supports due process. LOL. In July he voted to impeach Trump for tweets about The Squad.
Rep Joe Neguse: "This is a serious and solemn day for our country."

In July he voted to impeach Trump for tweets about The Squad.
Rep. Brendan Boyle: "I did not come here to launch an impeachment process, however, the facts demand it."

In July he voted to impeach Trump for tweets about The Squad.
Rep David Cicciline: "The president's conduct has forced this action."

In July he voted to impeach Trump for tweets about The Squad.
Rep. Jim McGovern, closing debate: "The allegations are as serious as it gets."

He voted three previous times to impeach the president for the high crimes of insulting NFL players, allegedly saying s-hole countries, and tweeting about The Squad.
Impeachment #4
October 31, 2019

231 Dems and Justin Amash voted to authorize the existing impeachment investigations. All Rs and two Dems voted no. No charge specified.
Is anybody in the press noting that 40% of the House Democrats trumpeting their serious, solemn, deliberative impeachment process already voted to advance articles of impeachment in July over tweets about The Squad?

Seems a bit dissonant.
Reminder: this is Trump impeachment effort number four
From what we've seen so far, impeachment #4 is no more serious than the first three.
And now this thing moves to House Judiciary. Chaired by Jerry Nadler. Who already voted to impeach President Trump in July for the high crime of... insulting Ilhan Omar.

Blockbuster @WSJ report on how extensively Google manipulates its search results, contrary to public statements.
wsj.com/articles/how-g…
@WSJ Ironically, this is exactly the kind of manipulation and gatekeeping that Google and its surrogates always claimed ISPs would engage in unless they were subject to heavy net neutrality regulation -- which never happened.
@WSJ But rather than use this behavior from Google as fodder to say they deserve the heavy-handed regulation they lobbied to impose on competitors, we should take a different lesson from the net neutrality wars, which were ultimately resolved with a *transparency rule*.

AARP, the marketing arm of UnitedHealth/OptumRX, has people in dinosaur suits demanding price controls to increase their profits -- even though it means fewer new cures for seniors.

And they hired Obamacare/Hillary ad makers GMMB for this farce.
AARP pushed Obamacare when seniors opposed it 14-to-1 to pad their own bottom line. They promised health care costs would go down. It was a lie and they made billions of dollars from it.

Don’t let @AARP (i.e., @UHC and @OptumRx) do to Medicare what they did with Obamacare.
@AARP @UHC @OptumRx Seniors beware: @AARPadvocates for themselves and their multi-billion-$ financial partners!

Great overview in @WSJ: Internal squabbling over access to wireless spectrum could cost the U.S. dearly in the 5G race with China wsj.com/articles/u-s-g…
Spectrum is a massive economic and geostrategic opportunity and challenge.

And the mid-band issue is now at a massive inflection point.

The great @AjitPaiFCC has his priorities exactly right on this.
The first two points are key. As much mid-band as quickly as possible. Because otherwise China deploys 5G first and sets the de facto global standards. And an up $18B hit to consumers for a two year delay per @WillRinehart.

So, I ran across a retweet of the below tweet and it immediately raised flags. Puffing up a witness has a reason, so decided to go look for the documentation behind it, since it had a direct quote. Didn't take long - few minutes and NPR coughed it up (will link at the end)./1
About puffing someone up - the reason is to try to give the person credibility, their views more weight than they should be given, and to set them above someone they are in disagreement with. In this case, also to elicit support due to his medal./2
In the case of the tweet, it is immediately followed by the statement "speaking out against the command-in-chief." (you're suppose to gasp here I think)

Then "the reason" is given - people kept telling him he needed to speak up (be sure to ignore other possible reasons)./3

A note on #impeachment -

In a court of law, under non-presidential circumstances, impeachment is a tool litigation attorneys use to discredit the opposing side's witnesses at trial. When said witness takes the stand under oath attys. present evidence contrary to what the witness
claims. This weakens the other side's case by discrediting impeached witnesses's testimony. Once a witness has been impeached - by presentment of inconsistent testimony - the judge/jury can no longer use the impeached witnesses's testimony in reaching a verdict.
Simply put, they aren't trustworthy. In the case of Presidential impeachment that broad definition of impeachment applies, but the impeachment tool is used for a very different purpose. Under the Constitution, a sitting President cannot be tried in a court of law for anything.

Lets talk about #Impeachment. I want to offer you a view of WHY the House of Representatives should start impeachment hearings immediately and why this is VERY bad for Mitch McConnell in the Senate. Any member of the House can initiate impeachment proceedings. This is a thread...
The impeachment initiative must be voted on in several House committees, if it passes these committees it goes to the House floor to be debated and ultimately voted on with a simple majority. If it passes it is reported (sent) to the Senate where all the evidence from the ...
House debate is presented, then some private deliberation takes place in the Senate and then the Senate take up a debate and conviciton vote, this public debate and conviction could last weeks, each day forcing republicans to debate and go on record on trump...

Short thread on importance of even the smallest elections:
BEGIN
1) My small coastal town has 3 seats up for city council next month. #vote
2) Of those running for city council, 5 believe in climate change, 4 don't. All but 2 candidates GOP. 3/5 climate believers here GOP. #vote
3) Last city council election, only 20% registered Dems voted, because they saw majority of candidates were GOP and they dismissed them.
