(Branco\/Americans for Limited Government\/Creators.com)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Unless something major changes, the Democrats in the House of Representatives are set to vote to impeach President Donald Trump. They plan on impeaching him for the &#8220;high crimes and misdemeanors&#8221; of &#8220;abusing his office&#8221; and of &#8220;obstructing Congress&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>This vote will happen today, or this evening. The majority of the coverage on this impeachment debate indicates that the Democrats intend to make President Trump the third president to be impeached&#8230; The first to be impeached in the 21st century.<\/p>\n<p>As you guys have seen and discussed here, the motivation for this stems from phone calls the president made with his Ukrainian counterpart. Anybody reading those phone call transcripts, with a level head, would not see evidence of a &#8220;quid pro quo&#8221;. The Democrats argue that President Trump &#8220;leveraged foreign aid&#8221; in a &#8220;bid&#8221; to get the Ukrainians to investigate the Bidens.<\/p>\n<p>With the Senate being in Republican hands, President Trump is looking at being acquitted and at remaining in office. However, what if, hypothetically, enough Republicans become &#8220;turncoats&#8221; and vote for his removal? And what if Joseph Biden becomes the Democratic nominee?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Then the party, that pushed for the removal based on a phony &#8220;quid pro quo&#8221;, would be pushing to elect someone who actually performed the quid pro quo.<\/strong> <\/span>Joseph Biden even admitted to threatening to withhold the aid unless the prosecutor is removed.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_93492\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93492\" style=\"width: 353px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-93492\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Butthurt-is-no-grounds-for-impeachment-353x333.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"353\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Butthurt-is-no-grounds-for-impeachment-353x333.jpg 353w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Butthurt-is-no-grounds-for-impeachment-300x283.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Butthurt-is-no-grounds-for-impeachment.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 353px) 100vw, 353px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-93492\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Not getting one&#8217;s way with regards to an election is not valid grounds to get rid of a duly elected president. (r\/The_Donald)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Sadly, there are many among the electorate, on the left side of the political spectrum, who believe that President Trump would be removed. Out of those on the left who think he will not be removed, his simply being impeached would be a sort of &#8220;victory&#8221;&#8230; Even &#8220;payback&#8221; for alleged &#8220;trespasses&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>However, President Trump and the Republicans are already setting the stage and doing &#8220;battlefield preparation&#8221; in advance of a Senate trial. There are differences among Republicans, and between Republican Senators and President Trump. President Trump wants a full trial so that those who are accusing him can be brought to light&#8230; And be subject to cross-examination and a fact check scrutiny. There are some Republicans that want to simply go straight to a vote. This would essentially be a &#8220;case being thrown out due to lack of evidence&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>For his part, President Trump sent a letter to Nancy Pelosi. Like most here, he knows that this would be futile and would not stop him from being impeached. However, this letter would be a &#8220;part of the record&#8221;. This is a good move on the President&#8217;s part on the account that future generations would not be as &#8220;high charged&#8221; about this process as folks are today. Fact, reason, and logic would prevail.

Naturally, the media that opposes President Trump dismisses this letter as a &#8220;desperate&#8221; or &#8220;hostile&#8221; reaction to the inevitable. They sensationalized it thinking that they smelt blood. But, as with the tweets that he did earlier this year, the letter is worded to get specific media reaction. This improves the chances that additional audiences would be reached&#8230; Those who would normally be denied information from the opposing argument. The words in his letter are carefully chosen and used.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_93494\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93494\" style=\"width: 306px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-93494\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Jerry-Nadler-impeachment-306x333.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"306\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Jerry-Nadler-impeachment-306x333.jpg 306w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Jerry-Nadler-impeachment-276x300.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Jerry-Nadler-impeachment.jpg 733w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 306px) 100vw, 306px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-93494\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Does this mean that Jerry Nadler wants to facilitate political division and to erode the integrity of our political institutions?
