Not the OP - You want them to VOTE on impeachment prior to considering the evidence during an impeachment “inquiry?”

We need to drill down now. Is THAT what you want ? WHEN was that precedent established specifically ?

Show your work please

The evidence is presented at the trial. The trial is held in the Senate.

And that is why Nancy won't allow a vote.

There’s nothing in the Constitution or House rules that requires a vote in the House before the inquiry begins. Please site the relevant code.

But I think she should call the bluff and hold a vote. There are lots of Cons in moderate districts who absolutely don’t want to go on record right now with a Yes vote.

Correction: absolutely don’t want to go on record right now with a No vote.

Doubtful this will shock anyone but audits of Don the Con's Twitter account show half his followers are fake. The percentage of fake accounts has grown since he took office https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trum...rs-fake-617873

Pages of propaganda about process and hiding the evidence of CRIMES?

Different poster here. The other answer certainly applies but here is another one ....the rules do not require a vote of the full House to start the inquiry. The Congress is a co-equal
Branch and in THIS matter the House sets the agenda. Succumbing to the Trumpkins demands about a full vote allows the Trumpkins to focus on process rather than produce the required substance.

I remind everyone.

Nancy has NEVER lost a vote she put on the floor and she certainly wouldn’t be moving forward on impeachment period if she didn’t have the votes to make it happen if the evidence demands that.

Full stop.

This is why the Trumpkins focus on the process. They know they lost in substance already .

Majority wants the impeachment inquiry so public sentiment at Dems backs as a BONUS (since they are doin the right thing here )

Whee!

So would you like to try to rationalize why Nixon's and Clinton's impeachments were handle differently?

We know exactly why Nancy is taking this route. They don't have the evidence. They just have the hate. They are going to lose in the Senate. The best case scenario to beat Trump is convince Americans they are honorable people searching for the truth. Unfortunately this fools nobody with half a brain.

In polling completed in December of last year by Caddell & Associates, 85% of Americans believe “the country is run by an alliance of incumbent politicians, media pundits, lobbyists and other powerful money interest groups for their own gain at the expense of the American people.” To many Americans, government corruption has become the rule rather than the exception.

Fixed it for you. Tell Nancy to vote on impeachment.

I’ve been wondering about matters like this in the following terms: Vlad and co want to take some of their “winnings” and bank them now that Trumps future is cloudy

Makes me kinda nervous about other shoes dropping

Trump's presidency has worked out fabulously for Putin, better than expected. The icing on the cake would be a close election that Trump disputes and throws us into further chaos. Then Putin's work is complete.

Patience grasshopper. The Dems are building their case. . Do you want it done quick or want it done convincingly?

Conservatives don't read Twitter so what does it matter?

- Those in the top 10% by number of tweets – are responsible for 80% of all tweets created by U.S. adults.
- Those in the top 10% by number of tweets – 65% are women.
- 60% of adults on Twitter say they are Democrats or lean toward the Democratic Party.
- Among U.S adults with public Twitter accounts, 19% follow President Donald Trump, while 26% follow former President Barack Obama.
- U.S. adults who follow Donald Trump on Twitter (54%) view him favorably.
- 17% following a Democratic legislator and 8% following a Republican member.
- 71% of adult Twitter users in the U.S. get news on the site.
- Many of the links shared on Twitter come from automated accounts, or bots. The Center’s 2017 examination of all tweets (not just those from U.S. adults) found that 66% of links to popular websites came from accounts that are likely bots.

They certainly aren't doing a very good job of it. Just another "We got 'em this time!" that won't play out. They're replaying the Russian collusion hoax and the Kavanaugh debacle, neither of which worked out for them, did it.

Is Trump buying followers? It's crazy easy to do. How many of his fake followers are created outside the US, especially Russia?

They're moving faster than I would have thought. The move yesterday to block State Department folk from testifying will enable to GOP to tie it up in the courts, courts with plenty of pro Trump judges.

Smart man.

JASON WHITLOCK: I think the cultural impact that China's influence over a great sport, great American sport like basketball, is just now being exposed and just how dependent the NBA is on the Chinese economy and the Chinese money to put on the appearance of how great the league is doing. Without the Chinese money and without -- you really have to understand the shoe companies, Nike, Adidas, they run American basketball from the high school level all the way to the pros and the shoe companies are dependent on the China market and that's where all of this is coming from.

You see NBA players constantly over the summer in their off-season running to China to do the bidding of their shoe companies and to sell their shoes in the China market and so the NBA is really being exposed as not nearly as much of American business as it is a global business with China perhaps having more influence over it than even America.

the cultural impact of this and what a great teachable moment it is for most American citizens. When people start talking about being a global citizen, I don't think people really understand what that means for American culture and I think for a lot of the everyday typical American sports fans, this is an educational experience.

This is what people have been talking about. We can't let our corporations, our country to be totally by China because it's driving out of culture. These basketball players, LeBron James, James Harden actually apologized on behalf of [Houston Rockets General Manager] Daryl Morey to the Chinese government. We are apologizing to a communist government and then we have athletes here and coaches like Steve Kerr and Gregg Popovich that rail against our government. We're the bad guys in the minds of these NBA players and coaches and their little parade of being so woke.

All of it to me is at the behest of the shoe companies. They're doing the bidding of the shoe companies and protecting China and demonizing us and our culture and dramatically changing our culture.

These athletes are young and I'm not giving them an excuse but they're young. Many of them didn't go to college, they've only spent a year or two ago in college. They don't understand how they're being used and played to promote a communist, a Marxist agenda.

They have no idea that their actions and a lot of the things they are promoting, this victim mentality, all the identity politics and everything in America's racist, all of it. It's all a scam by the shoe companies. Look how socially aware we are, look how we fight against injustice. No. You're actually doing a marketing ploy to pretend you have a social conscience and you actually are doing the bidding of the communist regime in China.

These guys can rail against our government, our president and be applauded for it. They don't have the courage to speak out against a communist government. All kinds of human rights violations. It's the epitome of hypocrisy and cowardice.
