There have been some batshit-insane moments in the impeachment proceedings in the U.S. House of Representatives, and Rep. Bill Johnson (Ohio) will not be a finalist for most-memorable moment, but he did make the top 137 or so today, the day when President Donald Trump was impeached. For today, Johnson asked for a moment of silence for the 63 million Trump 2016 voters, most of whom are most definitely still alive, and who represented a popular vote lower than that of Hillary Clinton’s, during today’s floor debate leading up to the impeachment of that guy.
(It should also go without saying that Johnson either doesn’t know or doesn’t care about lying about what disenfranchisement means. Also, it’s definitely the latter, if you were wondering.)

Republicans are officially forbidden from talking about how much they love and respect the Constitution, ever again.
They only love it when it works in their favor, impeachment very effectively demonstrates that fact. Imagine if Barack Obama had asked a foreign country to interfere in America’s election on his behalf when he was running against Romney. Republicans would be frothing at the mouth to get him out of office, and unlike Trump, he actually won the popular vote.
Make no mistake, that’s exactly what Trump did, Biden was the Dem front runner at the time, so he decided to blackmail a foreign country into announcing a sham investigation against the Bidens, with absolutely 0 credible evidence of any wrongdoing, in order to falsely paint the Bidens as corrupt.
Remember when you hear morons like Jim Jordan and other Constitution hating Republicans trying to paint this like Trump was oh so concerned about corruption, that Trump’s own former pal Gordon Sondland admitted that the investigation just had to be announced, it didn’t have to actually be carried out. Trump withheld congressionally approved foreign aid and a visit to the White House, until he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar, at which point he released them and claimed he did nothing wrong like the spoiled little child that he is.
Remember this, Republicans, in a few years when you’re wondering why your party is as dead as the animal that your orange savior wears on his head. We see through your bullshit, and we’re not going to forget.
The only problem with your comment, TuckFrump, is that the Republican party won’t be dead in few years. Any party should be after something like this, but you obviously haven’t driven though the heart of Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky, or numerous other flyover states lately or you’d know just how wrong you are. “I’m bringing the manufacturing jobs back” and “I’m draining the swamp” somehow still resonates there, and you’ll see the Trump2020 flags and signs everywhere to prove it.
You may be right Abe, but I have to hope those people are smart enough not to fall for the same nonsense twice. Given the fact thaf he hasn’t brought back manufacturing jobs in any meaningful way, and that he not only failed to “drain the swamp” but actually made it even more swampy. Look how many former lobbyists and career Washington insiders are now part of Trumps circle or were part of it prior to them resigning or being fired, not to mention his ridiculous nepotism. How about his claims of the Dems being “do nothings” while there’s a stack of bills piling up on Moscow Mitch’s desk near 3 feet tall passed by the supposed do nothing Dem controlled House? I could go on and on about this lame duck, do nothing NRA/Putin puppet president.
This man has failed miserably at his agenda, and is a constant embarrassment to any American with even a shred of decency left in them. In any case, even if he gets re elected, that’s only 4 more years the Republicans are going to be in power and who’s going to lead them then? Kushner, Ivanka? Please.
No, time is running out for the party of racism, bigotry, xenophobia and tax breaks for the ultra wealthy at the expense of everyone else. If they don’t pull their collective heads out of their collective rear ends, another 4 years of Trump is all it will take to ensure that party dies.
At some point, even those people that you mentioned are going to realize they’ve been duped. Republicans don’t want to realize that they’re digging their own grave with this guy, but they most assuredly are. The Republican base is getting older and dying along with the white majority, you really think hispanics and blacks, along with the rest of the non racist whites are really going to vote for the party of Trump in the future? I seriously doubt it. Maybe a few years was a bit too optimistic, but if they keep going like this, I give it 8 years max before the Republican party has about as much influence as the Green party.
Republicans need to reevaluate whether Donald Trump and his 15, 134 false statements a year style is really the hill they want their party to die on.
FYI, TuckFrump, Donald Trump is still YOUR President and WILL be for a long time!!!!
Donald Trump is your president….so what? That means everyone has to like and agree with what he does and the way he acts? Sherrod Brown in YOUR Senator and will be for a longer time since his term isn’t up until 2024. What’s your point?
And sorry, TuckFrump, but I think you’re in a fantasy world (no offense). As much as I’d like to think morality and a general mindset of working towards what’s best for the whole country would rule the day, I think it’s pretty clear those values don’t factor in much of the time. Never underestimate how easy it is to scare people who don’t choose to educate themselves, especially old whites who’ve enjoyed being top of the food chain since this country was founded. Just talk to my dad.
–signed “the caravan”.
You missed my point Abe, I should’ve been clearer. The point is, sooner or later, every president loses the majority of his supporters, it happened to Clinton, W. and Obama, just to name a few, and the country tends to swing the other way. Sooner or later, people who are being lied to figure it out, the fact that Trump isn’t even the least bit good at lying, or covering up his crimes, just tells me it isn’t going to take a full two terms before it happens. Has nothing to do with morality, people just get tired of a politicians BS after awhile, in my opinion. Even the dumb ones eventually suss out that they’ve been handled.
You’ve gotta be pretty dumb to still believe the crap coming out of Trumps mouth, and yeah there are some diehards that will never let on they know, lest their pride be damaged, but they know and Trumps blatant lying and the fact that he’s too stupid to properly cover up a crime isn’t going to work in his favor, as far as his longevity is concerned. Just look at the latest Fox News polls on impeachment for evidence that even his base of window licking mouthbreathers is catching on….
As far as a response to Stark goes, Abe nailed it. Who gives a fuck? The man is a vulgar, disgusting, racist, misogynist moron and has been since long before he was elected.
He may be president of this country, but he’s not MY president and never will be.
I’d wager money, Stark, that you had similar sentiments about Obama, minus the racism and misogyny bit, and I’m sure you added a few N words in there for good measure along with some moronic garbage about him being a secret muslim or the antichrist or some other such nonsense, you strike me as that type of hypocritical dipshit.
TuckFrump …… it is obvious that your hatred of Trump is strong …… and you deflect by accusing me of hating Obama …… nothing could be further from the truth …… I don’t like the politics of EITHER of them. yet, they were both my president. As a matter of fact, I didn’t like any of them going back to Johnson. JFK had some good ideas, but we saw how that worked out. In today’s political world JFK would even get a look from his own party. And to the comment that Brown is my Senator ….. yep, that’s factual, but so is Portman …….. and I don’t like either of them as well. Unlike you, I’m NOT a partisan …….. I lean more towards Libertarian. I prefer to believe what I believe and NOT to be told what to believe.
Stark… Nobody cares. It’s not like you’d admit it if I was right, you’re a libertarian, that’s wonderful, again, who cares? Where did I tell you what to believe? Seems to me like you blathering about how Trumps my president blah blah blah, is you telling me what to believe and what to do. So you’re a libertarian hypocrite? Gotcha. Why even bother commenting with something so stupid?
As for me being partisan, wtf are you even talking about? I guess pointing out Republicans stupidity and outright blatant hypocrisy makes me partisan, oh well. It sure got your panties in a knot though, wonder why that is. Methinks you’re full of shit and you lean on the “Im a libertarian” nonsense when you know that there’s no defending the orange idiot. Methinks you’re a closet Trump supporter that doesn’t have the balls to just come out and say it, that’s what this feels like to me.
All I did was express my opinion, you don’t like it because it makes your orange butt buddy look bad, but it’s not my fault he’s too stupid to cover up his schemes and scams, go get angry at someone else that YOUR president is a grade A certified fucking moron.
You sound like Kanye fucking West lmao, “nobodies gonna tell me what to do durrrrrrrr” here’s a clue since you don’t seem to have one, nobody is trying to tell you what to do Kanye. The reason black people don’t vote for Trump is they’re smart enough to realize that Trump is a raging racist, his father hated blacks and was brought up on discrimination charges.
Trump is a bit less racist in that the only color he gives a shit about is green, he has no use for the poor and disenfranchised of any color. That spoiled little baby thinks everyone gets 20mil from their father when they turn 18, just like him. He actually said people don’t need food stamps because their grocery store woukd “work with them” if they couldn’t afford food, that’s how out of touch that mongoloid is.
Sad thing is, unless you’re making well over 6 figures a year, Trump and his policies aren’t really benefiting you either. Keep voting against your own economic interests and standing up for Trump, you dope. The orange shitbird and his ilk are counting on your stupidity this coming November, make em proud!
R.I.P Starkobservations
It seems nearly every position at the City and County pays at least 6-figures, so one would think that our local, corruption-filled governments are full of cash, and therefore us few remaining taxpayers do not need to vote for ANY more of their ma$$ive tax levy renewals and increases ever again!!!
Who cares about the popular vote the man won what he need to win to sit down in that big comfy seat at the white house and save america from the damage Hillery clinton would have did and frankly that’s all that matters
Obama paid Iran to be friends with america to the tune of 150 billion dollars flown over on a plane strapped to wooden pallets who and what professional politician does business like that could be one of the reasons Iran is getting so aggressive their running out of money to fund their global terrorism agenda
Sixty-three million red Kool-Aid drinkers pissing on America and calling it rain, while this country swirls down the toilet. Thanks!
