Trump appears to be batting 1000 when it comes to being proven wrong on baseless accusations designed to take the attention off his criminal rear end and focus it elsewhere. No evidence exists to support his claim that the FBI's investigation into his illegal activities involving Russia were accurate. So that now joins the long, long list of lies told by the orange headed buffoon. The FBI wasn't biased against him. His own appointee to take Comey's place more or less called the buffoon a liar in his remarks. We can conclude, based on facts and evidence, that he wanted Ukraine's president to lie or fabricate dirt on Biden, he asked the Russians to get dirt on Hillary and any words that have come out of his mouth about anything are not worth listening to.

If I were going to place bets on whether the Senate will toss him out, even though the evidence is the most overwhelming against a sitting President that has ever been presented, I'd go with the odds that they won't. In spite of open threats made by mindless Trump supporters to gun down any Republican senator that votes to boot him, I think there will be GOP votes for him to move on and there may be as many as 55 senators who give him thumbs down. The November election being won by [generic Democrat] is a much more likely prospect, a ten million vote popular vote margin and 350 electoral votes for whomever the Democrats nominate along with at least an 8 seat pickup in the senate. But it seems that some conservative Republicans might be dreaming of an impeachment that would reset their party, return it to its conservative roots and run with Pence and whoever in 2020.

I don't think this is an isolated idea, either. It seems to have popped up on social media in the last couple of weeks.

Next casualty will be his hand-picked FBI Director who will be fired by the end of this week for not toeing the party line.

Way too much in the weeds stuff. Impeachment is a loser for dems, which is why they want to get it over with in a hurry.

Haven’t finished with the mandarin class coup attempt just yet.

Sandy, who has a track record that is, uh, rather poot, tells it like it's gonna be. Maybe the public could vote anyway.

Clearly, Trump wants to be impeached. Sending no one to defend him or to correct the record for him is a way of accusing the House of partisan shenanigans in which no one testified on his behalf. His gamble is that he will be able to share his rally before the Senate and they will fail to convict him. Then he can charge out of the gate to blame the Democrats. He is a gambler who has owned casinos and believes in his ability to out gamble his opposition.

At least he seems to be coming around to a less ridiculous assessment of Kim.

Looks like Kendra Horn voted for impeachment.

From Gerry Milligan...David F. and William T. (and anyone else who claims to be an evangelical). You might want to check out the Thursday, December 19 issue of
Christianity Today.

Big news. I'm not impressed. The Dems like it. The nevertrumpers like it. I didn't vote for him in 2016 and don't know what I'll do this year. I don't think CT has a lot of influence these days.

From Gerry Milligan...Am I the only one who noticed that the biggest right-wingers "all at once" do not think that Christianity Today is now relevant? And Franklin Graham, who went "Bat Guano" crazy when Bill Clinton admitted he had a sexual relationship with one who was not his wife, totally excuses the Draft-dodger for his multiple affairs. The one no longer relevant is Franklin Graham and his hypocrisy.
