Why should he want to shake the hand of a woman who led the House in a vindictve, partisan and unfairService to the nation trashing Bill Clinton every weekday for 8 years? And Obama for another 8 years?
Who else is more responsible for a divided nation where in the SOTU address the president refuses the speakers handshake and the speaker rips his speech?
I believe this would fall under the category of what weIn fairness to POTUS, he did an excellent job following the words given him on the teleprompter, especially given the fact that the only hope for a legacy he holds will be the inclusion in the small group of impeached presidents. So, I’ll give him that.,
To think that non-crimes are crimes, and an attempted coup d’état by the Deep State, initiated by the Fifth Column in the United States is the great danger to this nation. Pelosi’s Democrats violated and subverted the US Constitution by voting to approve impeachment based on no crime.The Democrat flawed partisan impeachment of Trump violated the US Constitution created by the Founding Fathers and was also a frontal attack on the US Justice System.It is a great danger to the nation to hold to that line of thinking that the acts committed by the president and detailed by the House managers are not a crime.
He did not shake Pelosi’s hand. I am not sure if heMy point is that I was not able to see, or to recall, whether Trump shook hands with Pelosi. Hence the inquiry.
Specifically, what lie or lies are you are talking about?It is a much greater crime to believe the lies of the House Managers when they have NOT proven their case. The acquittal today will exonerate Trump, but the memory held by those who fell for the Managers’ lies will not be easily erased.
He will not be exonerated but will a President who was impeached, then acquitted in a sham trial.The acquittal today will exonerate Trump
Have you yet read the Professor Bowie’s response to Deshowitz’s fatuous and dangerous take on this matter. Dershowitz pointed to Bowie as the one Constitutional scholar that he could cite as agreeing with his perspective. Bowie set him straight.To think that non-crimes are crimes
And the Constitution and words in it set Bowie straight.Bowie set him straight.
Trump was right. America doesn’t like Tore Losers.That’s what Trump thought when she waved her finger at him. America likes bullies put in their place
Nope. Dershowitz argument is dangerous. It puts the president above the law.And the Constitution and words in it set Bowie straight.
Yup. Bowie didn’t write the Constitution the last time I checked. His argument is the one that is dangerous as Dersowitz clearly outlined the reasons why and what our Founders feared so much. It’s why no one has ever been convicted of the fake crime of Abuse of Power during an impeachment trial.Nope. Dershowitz argument is dangerous. It puts the president above the law.
Bowie gave a very clear account as to why Dershowitz’s fundamental argument is fatally flawed, not only in principle, but also in the very practice of the law in the US. I happy to find the link and repost it if that helps.
Every president in my lifetime has acted above the law.It puts the president above the law.
I wished I had listened to it on the radio too. I found Nancy’s facial machinations distracting.I didn’t watch it either. Listened to it on the radio.
I just stuck a link there for the “gimme a link” thing.
If you believe everything the Managers said, and disbelieve Trump’s lawyers who rebutted them, then nothing I contribute will change your mind. So why bother? What I CAN say, is that it is fitting for those on the outside (all of us) to possess their own versions and refrain from litigating their interpretations to anyone else who will listen.Specifically, what lie or lies are you are talking about?
It did not look like a snub to me. He seemed not to notice. He was ignoring her as much as possible.Paving the way to that" scene in the house" that began with a handshake snub and ended with a speech ripping. I am glad he got his award in that particular SOTU.
